ah yeah, the EU sadly doesn't get as many deals as we do in the States :/ 6800's still a steal though! I love mine though I should've double checked dimensions. It barely fits in my current case xD

I run the 6800 now, and while I can't comment on Linux, ROCm, etc. it's a totally solid card for 1440p - though I don't play the latest AAA titles, I finally get good frames at higher graphical settings in Planet Coaster. The 6800, 6800XT, 6900XT, and 6950XT are all in vaguely the same region of performance, mostly because they all have 16GB VRAM so it's all down to the number of CUs and clock rates.

If you do need every drop of power, you can snag an XFX 6950XT for ~$630 before tax if your case is big enough and power supply capable enough. I'd really only consider the 6950 if you're playing the latest AAA titles on ultrawide 1440p or 4K, though. Otherwise, you can grab either 6800 for up to a hundred less than the linked 6950, get plenty of VRAM and solid raster performance for a long while. The 6000 series has gotten the classic AMD Fine Wine^TM^ treatment, they aged pretty good all things considered.

Thing is, why "non-commercial" apps? Why aren't the people making accessibility tools - in lieu of the company who should be doing that work anyways - allowed to make money? And, y'know, that exempts the pricing model (ok) but will NSFW content still be barred? We don't even 100% know how the NSFW API block works other than Reddit claims it'll be porn only, but I don't trust 'em to not pull a Tunblr and just say "if it's under the NSFW filter it's blocked from any API access."

What they did is something, but it's still not enough. What apps qualify? Are they allowed to make money so working on this app can be, like, their job (and not free volunteer work like happens often), and if so how do they define "non-commercial" so that happens? What features does it need to have to be "accessibility focused" - a lot of the 3rd party clients are customizable enough where people who are hard of vision can make the text plenty large so they can read, is that enough or are they considering the need for screenreader support too?

They're just so damn vague about all of this and whatever they answered yesterday was barely clarifying at all & just reiterated years-old promises that they've bareky made progress on. IMO, Reddit needs to walk the changes back until they can roll out the festures they're talking about & come to an agreement with app devs on a reasonable price (for the apps not deemed accessibility focused) and what they're allowed to do to monetize to afford that.

Fifteen business days now isn't enough time to get ready for these huge changes unless the plan is to shut down your app, like many app devs are going to do. Especially with how much seems to still be unknown or unclear.

About what everyone expected, tbh. I hope it bites Reddit in the ass if they end up shooting for an IPO.

And that they're indeed in violation of the ADA, as someone brought up. Hopefully someone somewhere raises hell with that.

Bust out your bingo card and let's find out how many spaces spez fills. Blackout, anyone?

Gotta say, if Reddit is really gearing up for an IPO this feels like the kind of behavior investors would be really suspicious of. Especially since Christian (Apollo dev) was well within his rights as a Canadian to record the conversation, and release it as evidence that he's being slandered and nothing spez is saying can be trusted.

Can't wait to see how potential investors in a public company would handle him as CEO. Have a gut feeling he'd get ousted before long because he's clearly incapable of talking to legal and shutting up.

Yeah I've been loving the latest version of Sync, such a shame it'll be going away end of this month :( I hope he's willing to give fediverse apps a go, bring his dev and style skills to this realm.

For me it's mostly a mix of my Switch and my PC. My fiancé has an OG 3DS we occasionally play some stuff on, and I've been meaning to finish off Paper Mario: Color Splash on our Wii U.

Need to fix up my PC though, thing keeps crashing occasionally and has been for a long time now with no clear reason to why :/ think I've ruled it down to RAM or SSD.
