This is why I don’t use searxng as my daily driver! I’m too lazy to self host and they’re always down.

Kinda, it also adds 3 new characters: wario, yoshi, and luigi. You unlock certain characters (mario himself, somehow, luigi, and wario) during portions of the game. Various missions require certain characters to be unlocked, but most of the game can be beaten with just mario. It also has some new levels too. It’s a childhood favorite of mine, though best way to play it would be on 3DS or emulator cause the original ds lacked a joystick.

I make it a point to play mario 64 ds at least once a year

You’re welcome!

When I find a website I find interesting, I usually use the firefox addon feedbro to find an rss feed in the site. I create folders based on domains or website type to help categorize things. It has worked for a lot more websites than I expected.

Of the ones I tried, my top 3 would be cinnamon, budgie, and kde. KDE is probably the best bet for modern features ATM, cinnamon for simplicity.

In that moment, I will use piped. If piped goes down, I will use nebula. Anything over paying youtube.

Shit this is huge, any good alternatives? I feel bad for all the wikis that moved over looking for an alternative to fandom.

Look like jar jar, he actually kinda has a sick design. Plus his swimming capabilities may be useful if the ice caps melt.

As much as I hate twitter, I think this is a bad thing. As far as I can tell, the suit is about those uploading music to twitter, which counts as sharing of content and shouldn’t be illegal.

Unless I am missing something, if the lawsuit went through, it would be a terrible thing for everyone.

they already bought alien blue and ruined it.

I’m no longer in the sadness stage of grief, now I am angry. I have thought of all the stupid things they’ve done since I joined in 2018

First they made the awful new layout

Then they promised to implement css in new reddit, only to never do so

Then they introduced too many award variations, and made it so people could get them for free, removing what value the awards had.

Then they made customizable snoos, which while cute were uneccesary.

Then they introduced, barely advertised, then killed reddit cspan. Never heard of it? Can’t blame you!

Then the introduced NFT avatars.

Then they did that awful april fools arg that was so hidden only a few did it and those who found the answer found it on discord. Also the answer was reddit was run on a literal potato which seems to be truer by the day.

Then they did this API shit.

During all that time where they could have introduced features that were useful to their app and fixing up the cruft with new reddit, they slaked off in order to increase profits. Only two features that were useful were ever introduced during 2018 - 2023: polls and gallery uploads. That’s it.

So I am sad for the communities, but reddit itself? Nah.

It’s complicated. joined in 2018 right before they introduced new reddit and even back then there was a stigma reddit was “getting bad”. However, reddit has been the best place for me to discover new things and the niche communities and interests were really great. I use an extension (that will surely die alongside the 3rd party apps) to find reddit comments associated with any youtube video that made my browsing really great.

The thing that makes me most upset is how they pulled out the rug from so many people and then acted like it was the people on top of the rug’s fault it was pulled.

It’s weird but I like how can you see the ratio of upvotes and downvotes for each post/comment people make. It makes it feel less like a mob going towards/against a single thing and more personal.

Awards were fine when there was only three of them: gold, silver, platinum. Once they added twenty billion, all meaning the awards once had were lost, especially since many of them were given to users for free when they were once paid only.

Yeah, I knew about mastodon and stuff before but never made an account or checked it out much. Now I get it lol.

If it helps, I joined kbin cause I like the UI more :P

This is how Reddplanet (my last main reddit app before shit went down) did things.
All the functionality was free, but if you wanted full theme support gotta pay. It was probably my favorite payment method ever.

Happy cake day! My og reddit account before I began anew was created 2018 iirc. Right before the introduction of new reddit and gallery uploads, when there were still only three reddit awards. It’s shocking how much the reddit experience had been downgraded so fast.

I’ve gotten it a few times, but today was the max point. I am guessing the api news is bringing reddit’s capacity over the edge? That’s just a guess though.
