+1 Or perhaps lottery numbers? I’m not picky

Amazing to see how fast this app progresses. Keep up the good work! Also a small request: could you add automatic dark/light mode switching based on system systems?

He’s destroying his company (and a great website) for no good reason. Then again, I did lead me to discover Lemmy. Not the same yet, but it’s growing on me!

Good point. They wouldn't be able to see what posts you're looking at and how long. However, they would still see all the posts you interact with (upvote, comment) and build a profile based on that data. Surely that must be enough to serve somewhat relevant ads?

Valid point. My proposed free-tier would make them no money. However, by charging a reasonable amount of money for the API, they could make way more than they are right now. Christian noted that Reddit makes about $0.12 per user per month. If they would charge say $0.99 for an average user, they'd have to run no ads and make 8 times more money per user than using their own app.

I think Reddit's CEO is making a fool out of himself by how he's managing this situation. I think however that the solution is very simple and straightforward.

Let's start: I can understand that Reddit has costs to operate the platform. I also get that they don't want big companies to abuse the API to train ML models and profit of it. Fair game!

But why not offer a generous free tier for regular users? Say, every user gets 500 free API calls per day. Regular users stay within the free tier, while big companies can't do anything meaningful with only 500 calls per day (so they end up paying money).

Seems pretty straightforward to me. Everyone happy! Many other companies offer generous free-tiers for exactly this reason. Am I missing something?

Wow, suprises me that the CPU usage it so low with a community of 30k people! Perhaps it helps that Lemmy was written in Rust (and that you have a beefy server)

Wow, thank you for sharing that website! Super informative. I have not been misting her, no. In the winter, the humidity is relatively high (70%), but in summer it can indeed drop quite low.

I'll try the misting!

Yes, the drying period is 4 days (as instructed by the webshop were I bought the plant). This is the meter I'm talking about: https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.NzHyAG40mQN0yw8_u-N62AHaHa?pid=ImgDet&rs=1

The idea is that there's always some water in the bottom of the pot that the meter doesn't indicate. The 4 days should help to dry that out completely before a refill to prevent root rot.

Do you think it might be related to insufficient watering? I can definitely try refilling it directly.

Can confirm: foreign mayonnaise sucks.

Same here (love Pages and Workers). Just wish their support for top level country domains (particularly .be for me).
