Apple don't let you change app icons outside of the app? I'm not sure what's stupider, apple or Reddit. On Android I can set my icon to whatever I like in my launcher.

Untitled_Pribor ,

Yep, you can't change app icons. The only good way to change them is to jailbreak and use a tweak or install cowabunga

You’ve been able to install custom icon packs on iPhone for a couple of years now.

Untitled_Pribor ,

Are you talking about shortcuts?

@glacier@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I have not had a iPhone in a long time, so I am unsure of exactly how it works. But it has been a feature since iOS 14 to be able to change app icons on the home screen.

Untitled_Pribor ,

Then you are probably talking about shortcuts. The way it works is you make a small program with your icon, which just tells iOS to open the program you want. The problems with that are that it doesn't display the notification count, it only applies it on your Home Screen, it will show up separately when you search for your app (the original app and the app with your icon) and it will show an annoying pop up every time you open the app

I’m honestly surprised people are protecting still after the blackouts ended. Good on them

Seconded

I think everyone here should head back to Reddit to ensure the final canvas has as much black/white "FUCK SPEZ" as possible. Going back for a day isn't going to save Reddit from itself, but you can maybe save some Redditors from Reddit.

lackadaisy ,

I was really bummed about missing r/place, I had so much fun last time. Definitely going to add my efforts to the cause.

@Bishma At this point I think the Fediverse might make a big stance on it, I know I would love to help keep that on there even if I have to log back into my Reddit.

@Pandantic@kbin.social avatar

And could they censor it if it’s not offensive? We could just make Kibby and Lemmy. I mean, I’m down. Or just the fediverse logo!

SamXavia ,
@SamXavia@kbin.social avatar

@Pandantic Even just pixeled text saying Fediverse would be cool as that would get users questioning what it is.

Pandantic ,
@Pandantic@kbin.social avatar

Or maybe a QR code that goes to an intro to the fediverse post/video! We should really plan this and make it. I hate Reddit, but I'm willing to go back to bring awareness to the fediverse.

SamXavia ,
@SamXavia@kbin.social avatar

@Pandantic The QR code is cool but it would require a lot of work to keep it the same QR code making it hard to do.

fishos ,

QR codes are WAY too easy to break with a few wrong pixels tho. Would be almost impossible to keep it intact. Text is a better alternative. Or logos because people might leave it alone as you draw it waiting to see what it becomes.

I wonder what other third party app features users loved will get locked behind the reddit premium paywall.

Spez is copying Elon so I’m sure they’ll paywall DMs because those can’t be monetized by ads and have a high support load.

Spez copying Musk ?

Love this one:

So you won’t listen if it’s an outcry from your entire platform but you’ll listen if it’s in a weekly feedback meeting?

This is the best one in my opinion, just straight up “Yeah, so you want to take us seriously in your meetings but won’t take us seriously when a huge chunk of your population leaves and the rest have a huge upheaval.”

Justice , to Work Reform in DoorDash fired an employee for trying to organize a union, NLRB alleges
@Justice@lemmygrad.ml avatar

In some mythological sane world unions would be mandated in every industry… but even in a less shitty world than ours this should result in firing and jailing of the person who directly decided to fire this person and the CEO. Maybe 10 years and seize all their assets and properties. Also fine the company 5% of its entire estimated value (calculated by some agency and not based on any bullshit accounting tricks. Just straight up add all their assets up, cut 5% off, fuck em).

And yes this IS intended to destroy companies who do this. Kind of being nice if anything since it effectively gives them multiple fuckups before they probably go under- for which all the executive officers would be personally financially responsible. Capitalists should have all their property and assets seized, but barring that, if the hypothetical leaders are too liberal, this would be an effective long term way of destroying them. Or letting them destroy themselves anyway since they’re all criminal scum who couldn’t resist the greed even if it meant their utter destruction.

Unfortunately in reality nothing will happen besides maybe a juicy civil suit but not nearly enough to actually correct for the firing nor enough to force the company to never even think about this again. The law is unenforceable basically if it doesn’t cause the destruction of the ones who break it and the dissolution of the company who allow it. It’s just a fee for them to pay to then be able to squash unions. Shithole country.

CoderKat ,

Yeah. Whoever gave the order to fire these people and those who actuated it (if different) should go to jail. Corporations for whatever batshit reason are constantly treated with kids gloves. They’ll only ever get fined most of the time. Yet, corporations are just groups of individuals. Some individual (or individuals) gave this order. They should be arrested.

This shouldn’t be civil, it should be criminal. If spray painting a statue can get people arrested, so too should illegally firing them (especially in a way like this, which is extremely bad for workers rights as a whole).

Money and greed.

Chozo , to RedditMigration in Reddit invites mods to “feedback” conversations with the admins

Someone pointed out that in the original Reddit thread, that there were a large number of shadowbanned users in the comments.

Reddit is lying about transparency.

PriorProject , to RedditMigration in Reddit is bringing back r/Place at perhaps the worst possible time

Josh Wardle, who would later go on to create and then sell Wordle, thought up the idea for r/Place, according to Newsweek

Wat? Apparently this dude keeps bottles of lightning in his desk drawer and just breaks one out whenever he feels like it.

Yeah, that surprised me too.

@ThatOneKirbyMain2568@kbin.social avatar

I think that this is just for r/place (and even then it's still scummy), but if the Reddit executives have shown us anything, it's that they don't act according to rational thought. I could easily see them keeping this pixel icon as the default, no matter how stupid that might be. Or they might keep coming up with things to make new icons for so you always have to pay if you just want the default original.

You really never know with Reddit.

What a stark difference between last year and this year. Last year there was the outpouring of support for Ukraine. This year it will be a "fuck u/spez" shit show.
