A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Man, I read your word vomit like 4 times, I believe you are right about all of it.
I read all of the apps threads about why they're quitting on the 30th, for Apolo which has already charged its users he would have to foot the costs the whole time until the next subscription re-up for many/most of his users, and we're supposed to believe the reddit guys?
For others, even the ones that want to make it work with added subscriptions, the lack of full reddit access via the API makes one wonder, what's the point of even trying?
Reddit has been an awful site for nearly 20 years, the only thing that made it usable was third party apps.
I'm not sure I'm going to miss it, I hated it before 3PA, and I'm willing to hate it again now.
The only thing I'm going to miss is world news updates and stuff that is here, the volume is basically muted in comparison.
