The bad news is that it may be a while before you can get back to devouring your favourite 60k hurt/comfort WIP.

If they did, Apple wouldn't adopt it and we'd be in exactly the same place as we are now.

Valve have said they aren't planning on a new Steam Deck until there's substantial technology improvements, so I wouldn't expect to see one for at least a couple of years yet.

Their announcements about products that are way better than anything that actually exists with no solid plans to actually bring it to market is actually just another flavor of anti-EV FUD.

It's not the right time to buy an EV because our imaginary product is SO much better than any of those boring products, you should wait for it and keep buying our gas vehicles for now.

they do understand that the APIcalypse will make their financial figures look great

That would require people to actually pay that API pricing. The apps closing down and AI people scraping the web site instead won't help them.

It's remarkable to me that Reddit could have let one of their PR drones write a post that essentially took seven paragraphs to say, "Sorry but we have to" and it probably would have mostly blown over.

But Huffman's ego took the wheel and he had to make it personal. Instead of just leaving, people are actively cheering for Reddit's downfall.

It was fully charged ten minutes ago, when the official Reddit app started opening.

During the official app beta, every beta tester complained about every problem they still have- poor battery life, shitty performance, unintuitive and space-inefficient UI, excessive ad placement. Reddit made exactly zero changes as a result of this feedback.

Ah, the Activision Blizzard playbook.

It turns out that banning porn makes advertisers happier, but you sell a lot less ads overall because you have nobody to advertise to.

I don't think Twitter would rate limit the Google indexer, though.

It's probably the increased bounce rate, as people click Twitter links in the search results, get Twitter's login wall and click back to continue searching instead of creating an account.
