Reddit also grew to 97.2 million daily users over the past few months, marking a 47 percent increase from the same time last year.
This is for the quarter that covers July, August and September. Last year, the API fee kicked in on July 1, killing most third-party apps, and the quarter would have also included any lingering drop in users from June's protests. So, it's a big year-over-year increase in daily users but that's compared to what might not have been a very good quarter last year.
Yes. Twitter was first, then Reddit, now Twitter is another fee
They're tracking people using their phone's advertising ID. How to Disable Ad ID Tracking on iOS and Android, and Why You Should Do It Now
On newer versions of iOS apps have to ask for permission to access your device's advertising ID; Facebook was very unhappy about that. Turning off Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Tracking -> Allow Apps to Request to Track will (should?) keep apps from getting your advertising ID. I'm not sure if Android has anything like that, but Google is an advertising company so my guess is No.
Apple already supports buying individual episodes on the iTunes Store.
Oops, I was in Settings earlier and must have made a mistake.
On Wednesday Mullenweg posted another ultimatum in Automattic’s Slack: a new offer that would include nine months of compensation (up from the previous offer of six months).
Upping the offer may get more people to take it, but now he's going to get people sticking around to see if he'll go higher later.
old.reddit still has RSS feeds for subreddits, if there's anything you still want to follow there. e.g. https://old.reddit.com/r/technology.rss
The lemmy community for my city is completely dead, so I follow the subreddit this way.
I think their mobile apps were in on the contact snooping too, it wasn't just Windows
Pricing seems to be the same as the previous version. They could have at least charged a little less for the much shorter licenses.
My 100GB music library leaves less space than I'd like on a 128GB phone.
It's "many" like in "Many people on twitter are saying..." i.e. they found 3 or 4 people saying crazy shit and acted like it was a big thing.
The payments requirement was the only win Epic got in its case against Apple. Apple now allows external purchase links, with a bunch of requirements and restrictions.
