It doesn’t matter if it’s actually very safe to do, it’s the fact that many women have been and are attacked that way so women will always have that fear in the back of their mind. Trying to deny this is going against basic human psychology and behaviour.

You only need to look at the current “man or bear” discussion to see how wrong you are.

Women don’t generally like riding bikes home after dark through dimly lit streets and parks etc. Pretty universal thing.

So many reasons. Not everyone lives close enough to the city. Not everyone wants to ride a bike. Not everyone has showers available at their work. Not everyone would feel safe riding a bike, especially women. Then there’s the big one - the weather.

It has nothing to do with anyone becoming “conservative”. Another advisory board would change nothing when the ones we already have are ignored and aren’t working.

60% of the country voted for gay marriage, a far more “liberal”/“progressive” thing than the voice, so saying we’re getting more “conservative” makes no sense. The fact is that the actual progressive people recognize that this was all grandstand virtue signalling, and we want more than that. “It’s better than nothing” is not a valid reason to change our constitution. How about actually doing something meaningful as a starting point instead?

Didn’t they only just announce like last year that they’d signed a deal to use snapdragon SoCs for the next 5 years or so for flagships worldwide while they start work on their revamp of Exynos? To only go 1 year of snapdragon would be odd.

Hopefully this new exynos is great, as snapdragon being the only good option is not good for the industry.

Just loading a post and doing very little you have close to 33 requests.

No you don’t. You can open Reddit and open a post with ~3:

1 for getting the posts on your front page

1 for checking your messages.

1 for getting the comments on a post.

Where are you getting “close to 33 requests from”? That post that says they’ve done “very little” and used 33 calls? Ah yes, because everyone “checks who the mods are +1” every time they log in to reddit. Every single user is a mod who checks their modmail (+1).

BTW I know how API’s work, I’m a web developer. Most people will not go anywhere close to using 1000 API calls a day.

Let’s say those 5 million folks just 1000 API calls a day ( they wont’ actually use ONLY 1000 ).

Correct - 99% of those people will use nowhere near 1000 API calls a day. Each persons subscription only has to cover the costs of their API usage.

A $5/month subscription, at $0.24/1000 api calls, gives each user just under 21,000 API calls per month. Most people aren’t going to be doing anywhere close to that.

This doesn’t even account for fees and possible server costs.

Sync doesn’t need any server costs. It’s not hosting an instance of Lemmy.

Also your maths is off by 1000x lol. The cost would be 1.2mil a day, not 1.2bil a day. You’re multiplying by 1000 for some reason, when the $0.24 already gets you 1000 api calls. So if all 5 million used 1000 calls per day, that’s 5 million x $0.24, which is $1.2mil.

Holy shit y’all. Developers need to eat too. It’s totally fine to charge for an app or serve ads.

You might be forgetting that these same developers refused to simply put in a subscription to their reddit apps to continue them, instead closing their apps and telling everyone to move to lemmy because that’s where their app will be…and now adding huge subscription fees and one-off fees on a platform that doesn’t charge them to use their API lol.

Maybe I’m just cynical but this really seems like the dollar signs lit up in the reddit app devs eyes the second reddits API changes got announced.

The UI is clunky

What do you mean by this? Is this just another “snappy” type thing that is meaningless?
