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?”
“Unrelenting darkness within him”? I thought that’s why Uncle Xenu installed his Thetan pump so those can be sucked out like some sort of anti-midichlorians.
There was another Twitler who tried to create an everything Reich.
I really tried hard to persevere - but I’m weak and it was too much.
Agreed! Blobmoji were the best and I’m totally not bitter at all that Google killed them like so many other great services.
It’s very funny for sure and I was just about to share it with the other SWEs in our off-topic chat. But I just can’t listen to it, had to close the tab after like 50 seconds. Perhaps on mute and with CC?
I know Elon Twitler is a giga troll but now he’s just taking the piss. He is probably going to fund his own legal bills against the unfairly terminated devs of the company he had to be forced to purchase.
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.
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.
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.
