The difference here is that they defrauded the investor class.

A company I had private stock in just sold. The email I got saying that they wanted to get me paid ASAP was electric. Finally, for just a day or two, I was in the elite of the elite: people who are owed money and that the enforcement arm of the US government will ensure are made whole. The payday was under $100, but the feeling was priceless.

And, with at least two of them, people knew what was going on and were perfectly happy to let the fraud continue until their hands were forced.

touche!

Even better would be if the draft were written _first_ by a human, then edited in collaboration with AI.

Amazing. Is there a reason why GME (Gamestop) isn't on there?

This was because I only have larger stocks (by market cap) in the universe that I track. But I have added GME now and should be visible on the site soon!

My hope is that Apple getting in on this design will influence eBook makers to jump on the bandwagon.

I wear Phonak CI processors. It's not just you. I've also experienced the volume drop on a few sites and apps. The Amazon iOS app does this. Each time I leave the app, ambient audio returns to normal.

It'd be interesting to see what a lawyer specializing in disability law would think of that.

At least in the US, I could see that being something that the ADA prohibits.

They’re kindly turning down the background noise so you can focus on shopping and buying more stuff.

I ran a similar personal project where weekly I scraped a country's news stories across curated sources using Brave News API and used an LLM to dedupe and cluster stories. This got expensive fast, so I'm wondering what your approach is to keep costs down across what I imagine is a lot of volume, i.e., one months' worth of stories across several sources.

If you're on iOS, you're out of luck. FF extensions aren't supported.

Orion browser can run standard type block lists on iOS. But depends how uBlock is specifically implementing this

Take a look at https://apps.apple.com/app/sink-it-for-reddit/id6449873635.

Brave is on iOS and will block 'use the app' notifications'.

You can hide distracting items in safari to remove the popup.

True. But for me, I hide the “fuck you asshole, use our app!” bottom overlay, and it does go away, but then scroll stops working!

For a while the overlay blocked touch events AND spanned the entire viewport so you couldn’t swipe to go back, trigger the address bar and toolbar to display, etc. I would have to swipe to minimize the app and then go back to trigger the toolbar to hit the back button.

Yeah I had that too but then it stopped blocking my scroll. I think if you keep your finger on the page after hiding the item you keep control.

But holy moly yes how user hostile.

Thankfully, old.reddit.com as a default option still works.

The kicker is that the text is so small and to make the site usable (and readable) you need to rotate your phone to landscape mode.

This works well enough that I haven't downloaded the reddit mobile app or used their mobile site ever since they killed Apollo.

But i.reddit.com does not. That was the original mobile experience.

And worse: neither would propagate to on-site links. That is, if someone had explicitly linked "www" rather than "old" or "i" at reddit, then regardless of which interface you'd arrived at it from, requiring you to constantly re-specify the actual interface you want. Particularly when not logged in to the site.

I'd begun using Reddit nearly 15 years ago, my last comment is now two years old, and my subs private (and inactive). Site's dead to me.

It used to be that you could set old.reddit.com as the default interface for www.reddit.com URLs, with the new interface still being available at new.reddit.com - is that no longer the case?

You can specify the interface as preferred, if you are logged in to your Reddit account.

However *if you're visiting the site via a specified hostname ("www" or "old", previously "i"), following any arbitrary link from a post, comment, or Wiki page to Reddit will not respect the hostname you'd arrived at that link from.

This to me is absolutely maddening behaviour, as it's now necessary to edit the URL within the browser nav bar. Tedious on desktop, painful on a touchscreen device.

I no longer read Reddit.
