Yeah, to me this seems like such a strange post. I can easily pick up batteries at most stores I go to and use them in various stuff in my home. Never thought about them phasing out right now, but when I think about it I guess it’s true, I see a lot of gadgets that just charge with USB plugs now.
That’s what we had thought too. Also the fact that it was a really generic looking red plus sign. How can someone trademark a symbol used by everyone? I guess if it wasn’t red, it would have been fine. There was a lot of scoffing going on in clinic.
My vet clinic I work at was contacted by Red Cross some years ago damanding that we change our logo becuase it had a red plus sign in it. It was the most ridiculous thing. How did they even find out about us? we are no big time clinic, only people in our city are going to know who we are. We had that logo for a long, long time. It was just bizarre.
That’s a lot of fuck spez
No idea MySpace still existed. it just looks like some entertainment article website, weird…
Hrm it seems defederation needs some work put into it. If an instance defederates from another, there should be no way to see each other, one way or another.
Photoshop for me. Yeah I can get it running under Linux, but it keeps crashing, or is buggy.
And no, Gimp is not a good replacement if anyone goes there.
I only just learned about the fediverse at the downfall of Reddit, so seeing how vast it is (in my eyes anyways) is quite interesting. I didn’t know any of this existed.
No, but I’ve definitely been curious as to why things were still working when they weren’t supposed to. So that ends that.
Do you need 3rd party tools to moderate on lemmy? Can you do it on mobile?
I have thoughts of starting some communities, but no point if I can’t do it from mobile.
The reduced amount of comments here actually motivate me to comment more. On Reddit I wouldn’t even bother commenting on a lot of posts as they would have comments in the hundreds sometimes and I couldn’t see the point to bother just having my comment never seen in a sea like that.
Yes, Infinity and Relay still working makes sense since they are going subscription model, but Boost still functioning is an anomaly.
Edit: Apparently as per a post on r/boostforreddit which references a post on r/redditdev, Reddit said the API changes would take place over the coming weeks. Not completely on July 1st.
If you want to see the post, you can here:

I checked the BoostForLemmy community, but there’s no new posts discussing the matter.
Checked r/boost, it’s literally all memes of people joking about using the official Reddit app when they’re still using boost.
The dev only made a post on here advertising Boost for Lemmy, and never anything else. Apparently they aren’t very active generally.
So yeah, no clue on my end… sure curious to know what’s going on though.
Meaning quite a few hours past the end of July 1st
Thanks for the heads up!
Apparently not, as someone else mentioned Relay is still running as well.
I can’t wait for the Lemmy Boost app. Wish kbin had an API so there’d be apps for it as well though.
It’s a holiday weekend in Canada as well.
There’s already r/casualama or whatever for that as well
I don’t think regular people would disagree with you.
