Can this “feature” be removed or deactivated somehow? I guess not because that would be too convenient.
Spent years on reddit after Google+ closed, my hopes are now with the Threadiverse
I’m interested in (among many, many other things):
TTRPGs, board games, longboarding, SUP / paddleboarding, and mechanical keyboards.
Yes, I realize that’s a lot of “boards” in that list. :)

Tell me you are a psychopath without telling me you are a psychopath.
From “don’t be evil” to “you know, what’s so bad about being evil anyway?”
7 Pro since launch, no issues whatsoever.
And in the end the lying salesman died because of snakeoil therapy. I wish more stories had such a happy ending.
There was another Twitler who tried to create an everything Reich.
Agreed! Blobmoji were the best and I’m totally not bitter at all that Google killed them like so many other great services.
I can see getting a Pixel Fold 3 Pro or something like that when it comes out in a few years. That is if Google doesn’t lose interest in the product line in the meantime…
I have been using my Pixel 7 Pro for almost a year and it’s still perfect so I am not in need of a new device. But I certainly like the pocketable tablet form factor of Fold devices and may very well get one of those next.
So, I really hate taking a laptop into meeting rooms so unless I know I’ll have to share my screen I (used to) take an A4 sized paper notebook and a pen to jot down notes.
Recently I upgraded to a ReMarkable 2 which, while certainly not inexpensive, has so been worth it for me.
I do type pretty efficiently on one of my mechanical keyboards, but putting my thoughts into handwriting is a different experience entirely and I always want to retain this option especially for personal one-on-ones.
Apple is a litigation company disguised as hardware sales. Steve “thermonuclear war” Jobs saw to this.
I’m with you that battery tech is a crucial linchpin for so many other developments. Until this transcends the current restrictions many other approaches will not really go anywhere in practice.
I’m not aware of any major breakthroughs currently so hopefully something viable is going to come up before too long.
It used to be Relay for me as well. Other apps had neat features I wish Relay had gotten as well, but I couldn’t get away from its neat UI and UX even though I tried pretty much every third-party reddit app there was.
I’m certainly sad to leave a handful of my favorite communities behind but Reddit overall can burn down for all I care. Even before the API BS and Huffmann lying through his teeth the Reddit experience had gotten more and more annoying aside from the coziest of subreddits.
Time to move on and perhaps some of the app devs try their hand at a sleek threadiverse app with all of the QoL goodies.
I know that I certainly believed this article to be very well crafted satire at first. Because how could it possibly so very on the nose in reality?
Yeah, there are extensions that enable injecting custom CSS. I’m using Stylus in Chrome (switched to that from Stylish about two years ago) and essentially you need to override the native CSS with lots of !important style declarations. Basically like Inspect Element but will load every time once the relevant website(s) is done loading.
If the HTML classes and ids are straightforwards that’s fairly easy, like old.reddit for instance. But every time they change the classes you need to go in a manually tweak it. And once a site starts obfuscating their code it’s not worth the effort anymore.
But it’s possible and for a while I honed my meager CSS skills by doing my own bespoke stylesheets. :)
Yeah, you’re right. They try but it’s not the same.
Before Dark Reader I used to make custom dark theme CSS for all the sites that I frequented heavily and spent so much time tweaking things so it came out “mostly right”.
Dark Reader isn’t perfect all the time but the peace of mind it grants me is immeasurable:)
My goodness, so it didn’t just feel like Huffman was a discount Elon but that’s literally what he is aspiring to?
I don’t know what could be more pathetic than the MBA*hole emulating the Blood Emerald Silverspoon Kid Without Skills.
Reddit is so going down the drain, the downward cycle was palpable over the last years but now they’re accelerating with Mach 3.
Count this as my vote as well. Take every other extension away (uBlock Origin excluded obv) but I simply can’t endure the eye-searing pain of the internet without Dark Reader.
I kind of love the selection of subreddits that are still available:
/r/amitheasshole, /r/mildlyinfuriating, /r/therewasanattempt, /r/whatcouldgowrong, /r/publicfreakout, /r/quityourbullshit, among others
It paints such a lovely picture of the current situation! :D
That is true and I have also muted a ton of my less-than-friend-level contacts in regards to stories. But that nag screen to subscribe to channels seems so terribly gauche.
