The most frustrating part for me is that Reddit could have turned 3PAs into a revenue stream by just making the API pricing reasonable. No one would have been too upset by that, even the 3PA developers thought that would have been reasonable. Hell, I would have rather had Reddit just shut down 3PA explicitly, instead of the stupid cowardly strongarm tactic.

So I'm not crazy! This is the one thing about the app that just feels jank

  • Hardspace: Shipbreaker
  • Risk of Rain 2
  • Gran Turismo (literally all of them, but 4 is a classic)
  • Super Mario Galaxy 1&2
  • Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies (still get chills from it every time I listen)

"Based" is typically used to describe someone who says/does something without caring if they'll be judged for it. Most commonly, it's shorthand for "That's a controversial opinion and you are bold for saying it, but I agree with you." It turns the previous sentence into an adjective, which is a little weird but it makes sense eventually.

So if I had to choose a single word as a synonym, I would say "Bold".

I'm probably going to end up back on Reddit to some extent, but I think Lemmy will stay in my rotation of stuff I open when I'm bored. Or until they inevitably kill old.reddit.com, then I'll be outta there for good...

 

When I try to subscribe to a community and it says "Pending", what does that mean from a technical perspective?
