How did Huawei get it’s hands on a Snapdragon chip? If I recall correctly, they’re under US trade sanctions.

Maybe they won’t kill it within 3 years because they have plans to license this technology to other companies (language apps?).

Maybe this comparison is an exaggeration, as the Steam Deck GPU is also widely compared to a GTX 1050 in horsepower, which in turn seems substantially more powerful than a SD 8 Gen 2.

This is extremely true for modern social media sites. Normal news sites used to push their apps too, but I guess this fad has passed.

If Piped is basically a proxy to access YouTube videos, who pays for this proxy (which shouldn’t be cheap)?

I’m out of the loop on this subject. I know Onedrive previously offered 15GB to free users, then strunk it to 5GB, but kept the larger amount to legacy users.

Have they made another reduction recently?

I’ve seen some people recommend using RedReader, which is an app whitelisted by Reddit for being accessibility-friendly. I’ve tried and it is not too bad. I simply don’t have much patience to play cat and mouse with Reddit’s inevitable crackdown.

However I’m only using it to access NSFW subs. For everything else, I’m sticking to Lemmy. It’s possible to bypass the API’s blockage of NSFW content by creating a subreddit (it can stay in private mode), which in turn will turn the user into a moderator, and mods are given free access to NSFW content for moderation purposes. 😎

I would understand your argument if you were talking about a Smart TV app like Netflix, in which they have to assure API backwards compatibility for TV OSes that are slow to approve app updates (or won’t accept at all once the TV is old enough).

But in the case of Reddit which app is on mobile phones, I find it hard to believe they’d be too worried about blocking access to older versions of their API. If someone can access Reddit’s app, then this person has internet access, and so is able to update the app.

Lemmy taking over as a protocol would not be a bad thing, because by design it promotes the creation of multiple federated instances. At least the UI woukd be standardized, lowering the user friction in case he needs to migrate.

It may be so initially, but the developer will be burdened updating the extension for the foreseeable future to maintain compatibility with Lemmy updates.

Wouldn’t it be more useful contributing this feature directly to Lemmy?

I thought the same thing as I saw the imagine. 😅

I’ve never commented so much since I was on spez’s den. On Reddit I was kind of intimidated most of the time because there would be already a lot of comments, and I feared I had nothing of substance to add.

Here there’s less comments, but in this case I guess less is more. 😇

Is your phone 100% un-Googled?

Didn’t notice anything different. In fact, I can’t change to “All” anymore (coincidence?). That’s why I’m exploring Connect right now.
