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.

As quoted from the linked post.

It looks like you’re part of one of our experiments. The logged-in mobile web experience is currently unavailable for a portion of users. To access the site you can log on via desktop, the mobile apps, or wait for the experiment to conclude.

This is separate from the API issue. The are actually going to BLOCK you from even viewing reddit on your phone without using the official app.

Its a commonly taught thing in English classes where I'm from (Ontario) -- we would get harped on it fairly regularly

It was common in the States when I was in school. How well someone learned to extract those lessons and apply them is a different matter. Is it more important for someone to learn how to use active voice over passive, or remember the lecture where they were told what that means? Even if you were an A student how long would you remember if you weren't constantly applying that knowledge?
