How would one go about this?
Hello there! I’m Chris.
I’m the creator of the Yuru Camp △ magazine on Kbin.
If you, too, enjoy cute girls doing cute camping things, why not come and say hi?
How would one go about this?
This is fantastic. I’ve no use for this software, but I would absolutely purchase it if I did.
It is as simple as providing a service that has all content I want to watch. Look at things like Spotify or Apple Music. They don’t have everything, but it’s enough and has effectively stopped my pirating music.
Same with Netflix. It stopped me pirating because of the convenience, but since everything got separated in its own service again, I started up my own plex server. I’m not jumping through a million hoops to watch a stupid show or film…
Not to mention keeping game saves in sync. I’m experimenting with syncthing for my pirated games, but I have to admit that just getting the Steam version sounds much more sensible now that I’ve my Steam deck.
I’m not sure. I remember I was waiting for it to go on sale when I needed it, and it happened pretty quickly. But I don’t know if it happens at any set intervals.
I feel like it is, but, be on the lookout for a sale and get the lifetime option when there’s a sale.
I thought it was the other way around since it’s the EU that’s forcing the change.
Chromium and excellent do not belong in the same sentence.
That’s not an entirely valid comparison in that the other platforms that got redesigned don’t give the end-user the option to still use the old design. Chances are that if they did, a lot of people would stick to the old design there as well.
No maybes. Do it.
Same goes for the Reddit redesign. People have been up in arms about new Reddit ever since it’s been introduced.
I’m pretty sure they’d be much less up in arms if the new version didn’t suck as much as it does, though. Same probably holds true for the redesigns that were introduced for Youtube and Facebook.
Your iPhone can read laundry symbols
Okay, I don’t have an iphone, but if I did that would make my life a lot easier.
Also, what about sideloading of apps? Is that a thing in iOS 17 now?
I’m 35 and I still don’t really care about the news. Not looking at all the misery keeps me a little more sane.
That may be giving spez a bit too much credit.
I think you might be right about the removal of anti-corporate or anti-capitalist subreddits. They’re not exactly suited for ad placement, so they’re pretty much worthless to reddit at this point.
As am I. I was convinced it would’ve been killed off years ago since they introduced the new ui.
In that case, we should potentially encourage reddit to get rid of it faster.
For those that don’t want to give Reddit traffic, this is the post by the reddit admin:
Hi all,
I’m u/venkman01
from the Reddit product team, and I’m here to give everyone an early look at the future of how redditors award (and reward) each other.
TL;DR: We are reworking how great content and contributions are rewarded on Reddit. As part of this, we made a decision to sunset coins (including Community coins for moderators) and awards (including Medals, Premium Awards, and Community Awards), which also impacts some existing Reddit Premium perks. Starting today, you will no longer be able to purchase new coins, but all awards and existing coins will continue to be available until September 12, 2023.
Many eons ago, Reddit introduced something called Reddit Gold. Gold then evolved, and we introduced new awards including Reddit Silver, Platinum, Ternium, and Argentium. And the evolution continued from there. While we saw many of the awards used as a fun way to recognize contributions from your fellow redditors, looking back at those eons, we also saw consistent feedback on awards as a whole. First, many don’t appreciate the clutter from awards (50+ awards right now, but who’s counting?) and all the steps that go into actually awarding content. Second, redditors want awarded content to be more valuable to the recipient.
It’s become clear that awards and coins as they exist today need to be re-thought, and the existing system sunsetted. Rewarding content and contribution (as well as something golden) will still be a core part of Reddit. We’ll share more in the coming months as to what this new future looks like.
On a personal note: in my several years at Reddit, I’ve been focused on how to help redditors be able to express themselves in fun ways and feel joy when their content is celebrated. I led the product launch on awards – if you happen to recognize the username – so this is a particularly tough moment for me as we wind these products down. At the same time, I’m excited for us to evolve our thinking on rewarding contributions to make it more valuable to the community.
Why are we making these changes?
We mentioned early this year that we want to both make Reddit simpler and a place where the community empowers the community more directly.
With simplification in mind, we’re moving away from the 50+ awards available today. Though the breadth of awards have had mixed reception, we’ve also seen them - be it a local subreddit meme or the “Press F” award - be embraced. And we know that many redditors want to be able to recognize high quality content.
Which is why rewarding good content will still be part of Reddit. Though we’d love to reveal more to you all now, we’re in the process of early testing and feedback, so aren’t ready to share official details just yet. Stay tuned for future posts on this!
What’s changing exactly?
- Awards - Awards (including Medals, Premium Awards, and Community Awards) will no longer be available after September 12. - Reddit Coins - Coins will be deprecated, since Awards will be going away. Starting today, you’ll no longer be able to purchase coins, but you can use your remaining coins to gift awards by September 12. - Reddit Premium - Reddit Premium is not going away. However, after September 12, we will discontinue the monthly coin drip and Premium Awards. Other current Premium perks will still exist, including the ad-free experience. - Note: As indicated in our User Agreement past purchases are non-refundable. If you’re a Premium user and would like to cancel your subscription before these changes go into effect, you can find instructions here.
What comes next?
In the coming months, we’ll be sharing more about a new direction for awarding that allows redditors to empower one another and create more meaningful ways to reward high-quality contributions on Reddit.
I’ll be around for a while to answer any questions you may have and hear any feedback!
I don’t think I need to give them ideas. Seems like they’ve got the whole “destroy reddit” thing covered.
Cheers!
