Voyager is scratching that itch for me. Its pretty apollo-like, which is close enough to RIF for me.

OP is not saying that Google’s scrape still retains his reddit comments. He’s not referring to seeing this information on Google, but on Reddit.

He’s saying that reddit is retaining his comments and still serving those comments up when refreshed directly. They’re de-linked from his reddit account so he doesn’t see them through his reddit account, but the information is restored throughout the reddit site to be viewed.

Hmm, may also possible that vendor/carrier versions of the app carry more ads. This would nevertheless still be an android problem because I don’t think Apple allows other companies to do that with their apps.

It looks bad, but try replicating it.

When I search two dots, I find exactly the matching app, with screenshot previews and details about it. I get only 1/4 of the screen as ad suggestions. The rest of the screen is related suggestions (non-ad suggestions). So about 3/4 is non-ads for me vs. 1/8th from the OP screenshot.

If I search something more generic like “card battle games”, I get a listing of about 7 games, with tags, and zero ads.

I think what’s shown in the OP is what remains after the user has already read the details and approved installing the app. Considering that this is the end of the user story, what else should be on that page?

Or maybe he’s got a different version of play store than me from A/B testing? Anyway, try it out yourself. I don’t have a problem with too many ads on playstore, my main issue is more that the good apps go to apple store first and only sometimes port to android because apple users are more lucrative.

The concern is a good bit higher than “possible” since they’ve just recently inflicted a large scale natural disaster to slow the Ukrainian offensive to retake their territory.

The Kakhovka dam was blown up by Russians because Ukraine doesn’t own the kinds of weapons that could destroy it from a distance even if they for some reason wanted to devastate their own land (they don’t).

Russia clearing out the plant staff and inspectors is highly suspect. If there was a major radiation leak, that too would have to come from manually placed demolitions…which is what they’ve been seeing.

I’ll play devil’s advocate, The upfront advertising may help the fediverse reach the critical mass needed to create the zeitgeist of accelerating adoption that turns it into common use.

There’s a lot of sentiment here about keeping out the “riff raff” that comes with a popular platform. However amongst all those commoners are also the obscure experts in niche subjects that leave comments answering questions that don’t really get answered anywhere else on the internet. The scale of Reddit allowed those serendipitous encounters between questions and answers that don’t happen anywhere else.

If those encounters could happen on the fediverse, then the fediverse would be unkillable because of its decentralized nature. If Threads attempted to dominate the same way that Reddit did, instance owners could defederate it at that point and protestors can easily hop over since they’d already be familiar with the fediverse.

I feel like I haven’t seen enough of that happening in the past though. Can you share some examples of where you’d seen it? Maybe Steam? No Man’s Sky?

What other apps debuted early to a poor public reception that got people to come back and try it again and successfully change their minds?

Isn’t it possible to also create a gatekept community on the fediverse by just filtering to “local” on an instance that has the same current state barriers to entry? That’d prevent you from seeing the posts on instances that have lower barriers to entry.

To a degree yes. Moisture in general will limit browning. Fresh ground beef is usually dry enough. Frozen and defrosted ground beefwill have ice/water. Patting it dry with a paper towel takes care of this.

Ground turkey in particular is super wet all the way through so paper towels won’t really be able to get it all. To brown ground turkey, you put a big patty on the grill and don’t break it up, then wait for several minutes. This allows the surface to evaporate the water and then begin browning. If you break it open it will release the water inside the big ball of meat and it’ll take forever to evaporate enough for browning to start. You break it open later on after you’ve browned top and bottom.
