Very appropriate in this case:

Seems convenient for Apple unless if they’ve sold out already

Looks good but you might find some very dated stuff in there. I just checked the iOS one and it’s based on XCode 8.3.3 which was released back in 2017. The recipes may be relevant but they won’t be plug-and-play and if you’re really looking to learn you’re better off with more recently updated courses from the likes of Udemy, and the free Stanford course on YouTube that include things like SwiftUI

At a similar time as The Verge was threatened I noticed some articles changed their tune and switched to downplaying the Reddit situation. The one I recall is Gizmodo reporting that Reddit traffic was back to normal.

It’ll be interesting to see how things play out at the end of this week when the 3rd Party Apps go offline, but to be honest I’m happy to say my new home is Kbin.social and don’t see the need for an active Reddit account, though I may lurk from time to time if I’m looking for some particular information that’s not yet on Kbin.

The game changer for Fediverse is stable mobile applications, once the Apollo shaped hole on my phone is filled I think it’ll be pretty much a drop-in replacement.

In the early Internet days I recall the theories were that the ‘World Wide Web’ was literally just that, a trap to catch people and ‘internet’ being jokingly referred to as being ‘into-the-net’ with similar meaning. At the time those concepts referred more to Internet addiction but now I find it strange that it’s come back around to the whole idea of us all being trapped in the corporate web with no escape whilst they leech off our rights and privacy as we lie helpless and despondent.

My account dies with Apollo

Posting here at the moment feels like posting on Reddit in the early days. The sense of true community was real, it was more organic content from everyday people instead of the corporate machine that it became with sponsored content, brigading, shills and even subs changing their nature from IAMA Bricklayer to IAMA Movie Star with a movie releasing tomorrow which I’m here to promote. The whole voting system went to crap and the vote numbers were completely out of touch with actual user sentiment.

As long as the fediverse has a more sustainable model and does not go down the corporate route we should be ok until the marketeers, SEOs and advertisers arrive with their thinly veiled attempts at self/client promotion.

A dedicated instance sounds better than a magazine though not sure who’d be willing to take on the expense of taking on that volume of data.
The easiest grab method would be using the API, which provides about a week to get dev approval and to copy all Reddit data via the API without getting banned.

If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes should fall like a house of cards.
