No, they don't.. I don't know why everyone seems to think that.

Yes, I'm aware. It uses the API. There are no ads.

This is just incorrect. Nobody pays for API in Boost, it uses the API directly. The official app was shut down after the API got restricted.

This is a reddit community...

At least spez doesn't profit from those

Yes, reddit started blacklisting specific user-agents. Many of the other apps worked fine until Monday for me.

 

At least with Boost (my favorite reddit & Lemmy app).

This lets you circumvent ads/recommendations and other bs, too.

You made this?

I honestly still use Perl for small scripts as a Bash alternative. It is very powerful and is already installed everywhere. I just try not to use it for things others might have to work on..

I shudder at the thought of the ancient 1000+ lines Perl scripts.. The seal must not be broken

I like this place. If this was in reddit, you giving even a little bit of credit to the man would leave you with -200 and probably banned.

It's almost like the world is nuanced and not just red vs blue..

They have 95% success rate for landing boosters in a relatively new technology, saving loads in terms of trash and pollution (if that's even a metric somebody is remotely interested in for space travel).

This is a huge leap. Probably not worth giving Musk credit for, but still.
