But Huffman says the “pure infrastructure costs” of supporting these apps costs Reddit about $10 million each year.

Eh, so although, according to him, the third party apps cost Reddit 10 million per year, he still decided that 20 million a year from a single third party app developer is reasonable? I think he needs to learn some basic math...

I had to remove the Joey app from my home screen and replace it with the Jerboa app (as in, put it in the same spot) because I kept accidentally opening Joey. -.-

Good point! Haha. The first time I saw that option I immediately clicked it but then suddenly I was thinking I wouldn't just block some random person without a good reason and then my mind went: it's not the same as REPORTING a community, is it?

Yikes! Does anyone know what happened?

Wow! And it was around 11000 last weekend?! This is great!

I was wondering why it looked different from some of the screenshots I see here but when I play on mobile it's just an endless list that gets bigger and requires a lot of scrolling. Switched my browser to desktop mode and now I can see you can drag and drop stuff. These types of games are so simple but so addicting. Ahhh

I'm from Europe, and for years I'd been using WhatsApp because everyone expected me to even though I didn't feel comfortable using it at all (because I care about my privacy and apparently not all of my friends/family members do). At some point I was forced to accept new terms that basically said it was okay for them to sell my data and that's where I drew the line and told everyone that I would no longer be using WhatsApp and that if they wanted to reach me they could call me, text me or message me on Telegram. I immediately uninstalled it.

I noticed friends and family found it a bit odd and inconvenient that I'd stopped using WhatsApp. And many companies seem to use WhatsApp to contact their customers (why can't they just email me instead...) and it seems they automatically assume everyone uses it, which I find a bit annoying. But ever since uninstalling it no one has been able to convince me to reinstall it and I plan to keep it that way.

Drink a glass of water during your meals. And make sure you eat enough proteins. High protein diets are very effective.

If you're craving chips, your body is telling you you need carbs. So get them from healthy sources of food instead. If you're craving something like cheese or meat, your body is telling you you need proteins, so make sure you get them from healthy sources of food as well.

Avoid high carb food that doesn't have a lot of nutrients. You will probably still feel hungry afterwards. Go for healthy food that makes you feel full and gives your body a good amount of nutrients.

And remember that healthy food can taste just as good. :)

Actually I accidentally clicked a Reddit link on Google earlier today and (I don't remember the subreddit) my first thought was: I'm pretty sure this subreddit took part in the blackout so why can I see its posts like nothing happened?

I'd recommend POP!_OS. Very easy to install and use and most games I've tried to play work without any problems.

Ugh I hate those ads. I had a OnePlus for a few years and forgot about all the bloat you get with a Samsung phone. Recently decided to go for a Samsung phone as the other options didn't seem much better. But now I keep getting ads from Google and Samsung in my notifications. I THINK I managed to disable some of it but it still keeps popping up once in a while.

Not sure about the upcoming months but I felt like 2024 started off with quite a few games coming out one after another, including Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth, Helldivers 2, Last Epoch and Dragon's Dogma 2.

And Manor Lords is coming out this month as well.

I am trying it out now! I like the layout / UI; reminds me of Boost and Joey which I liked a lot. One thing that bothers me is the colour scheme, though. In light mode it's blue (?) and dark mode is more like some weird grey mode, and I'd prefer it to be a darker grey like in most apps (perhaps it could be more customisable so that people can change it to fit their preferences).

Yeah, I always like to check Reddit just before I go to sleep, to get sleepy, or when I can't sleep. Or when I'm waiting for something and there's nothing else to do to pass the time at that moment. So I'll automatically open Joey and....well, I guess that's the end of that.

I saw Lemmy has already grown a lot over the weekend and I'm all for it getting bigger! To be honest I also feel a lot more motivated to actually post here instead of lurk.

And the community seems super nice so far!

Yeah there's an option in the settings called Remove Ads. The problem is, that option isn't working for me. When I tap that option all I get is a screen with the Boost logo and the text Remove Ads below it and that's it.

Ugh I hate that with YouTube ads as well (at least on my Android TV). I'll watch something, get interrupted by ads, sometimes minutes long and/or multiple ads, and after the ad(s) it jumps seconds or even minutes ahead from where I was watching. Then when I rewind to the point I was at it'll often play even more ads. It's super annoying but if they think this convinces me to buy their premium subscription they're very wrong. It's so off-putting.

Same! Someone told me that your left hand makes an "L" so if I ever got confused I would just remind myself of that. As a kid it was my little secret because I'd just pretend to know while in my mind I'd picture my left hand making an L shape.

(Also, hello other panda!)

I know what you mean! I know it's gonna be gone soon yet I don't think I'm going to want to delete it. I bought it,I enjoyed it, and if all of this mess had not happened I would still continue to use and enjoy it. Sigh. :-\
