It’s not, at least not on a Mac. It refreshes automatically, I honestly haven’t refreshed my apps in months outside of upgrading to iOS 17.

The ability to go “spectator mode” and see many events throughout history unfold in front of your face would be an amazing power.

Nah if it was good content people wouldn’t care. If it was truly “superhero fatigue” Invincible wouldn’t be anywhere near as popular as it is. It came out in a post-Endgame world and is one of the biggest shows on television.

People will clearly happily still watch super hero content, IF it’s good.

I don’t understand that to begin with. They tout the whole “connected universe” angle but then if you look even slightly behind the curtain it’s obvious there’s nobody overseeing the lore between projects. Not when one is beginning while another is undergoing reshoots and rewrites. It’s not possible and it shows, just like how Tiamut has been sticking out of the ground in universe for like 2 years and all we’ve gotten is a joke reference in She-Hulk lmao.

Wow it’s true. Linux users are like vegans. You never have to wonder because they’ll tell you they are whether you care or not

lol didn’t parts of California flood last year/earlier this year? Why even bother calling them “10-year floods” when we can expect them annually or even more frequently

This is referring to the vast majority of users. At least for a few years

The “vast majority of users” do not know what RAM is and they don’t know what expandable memory means. Nor will they ever open their own laptops. If the laptop is slow after a few years they will just get a new one.

Yep. They use and sell your data whether you block ads or not. So they’re still making money off of those of us who block ads. I don’t owe them anything lmao. It’s sad seeing so many people in other threads defending YouTube/Google while they’re increasing the price of premium and locking shit like background play and higher bitrates behind a paywall all while selling out data. Nah fuck em

These kinds of remakes are for the original fans as much as a new audience. There are MANY people who write off animation entirely.

This is to expose new people to the story and hopefully some of those people will check out the original and see that animation is for everyone not just children.

Yes it’s unfortunate Biden is still the democratic front runner. But he’s not on stage saying how old and dementia-ridden his opponent is only to have major mental fumbles minutes later lmao.

Trump is really using the GOP namesake here- Gaslight, Obstruct, Project

You literally cannot trust a word any of these clowns say. After Roe was struck down they said “we’ll just leave it up to the states” and now that a majority of Americans are making it clear state by state that they want the right to control their own bodies they’ve once again changed their tune.

“This is why a pure democracy doesn’t work”

i.e. let’s subvert the will of the people. Trump tried and failed to do it too. I’m beginning to believe the worst words you could possibly hear from someone’s mouth is “I’m a conservative”

 
 

A popular third-party Reddit app shut down Friday – and some of the social network's users are pledging to walk away as a result.

Some "Redditors" said in posts on Apollo's subreddit that they'll abandon the network.

"I'm gonna be dropping it," one user wrote. "I just finished using power delete suite to purge my entire history over the past 8 years."

Apollo founder Christian Selig said he would close down the app on June 30 after the company announced a pricing policy to charge developers an "egregiously high" price to access its API.

Third-party apps do not display the advertisements that generate revenue for Reddit – a problem for a company eyeing a stock market listing.

The app, which let Redditors access the platform through its own interface, had more than 1.5 million monthly users in June, Selig said, citing data from analytics firm Mixpanel.

"I suppose I feel a lot of emotions," Selig told Insider on Friday. "I'm heartbroken that an app I loved building and so many people enjoyed using over the years has come to an end so abruptly. And I'm genuinely surprised by how callous and dishonest Reddit has been toward developers, moderators, and the community as a whole over the last few weeks."

He said he felt "incredibly fortunate" to have built and worked with an "amazing community" who helped shape the app: "It's been the journey and honor of a lifetime, and I wouldn't have changed a thing."

The Canadian developer previously said Reddit's demands for compensation were unreasonable compared with how much money Apollo made from paid subscriptions.

"I'm going to quit mobile Reddit," said one user. "If it's not Christian who brings me news, memes and (let's be honest) porn, then I don't want it."

Another said it's "goodbye Reddit, not just goodbye Apollo. Switched to Apollo once Alien Blue went away. Have tried Reddit's official app; unusable is an understatement. Instead of getting used to a new app, I've been practicing getting used to no Reddit. End of an era."

Opponents of Reddit's changes have argued the company was built on the free labor of independent developers, and they should not be required to support Reddit financially.

Major communities on Reddit opted to go dark to protest the API changes, significantly reducing the amount of content on the service. Certain communities have labeled themselves as mature, therefore making themselves ineligible for advertising, to reduce Reddit's revenues.

Reddit did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider, made outside normal working hours.
