I like OpenCritic for game reviews now. It's a site that aggregates a lot of reviews into one site. If not there I always trust steam reviews of games.

Y'all need to start sorting by top posts the past 6 hours. Changed Lemmy for me. Right now the algorithm for hot and active is too stale.

I hope so. This shit is infuriating.

I use Notion for organizing my DnD campaign. Love how this is looking so far. I'll add a feature request for linking to other pages, and implementation of a table in each note. Thanks for your work!

We are just ignoring the fact that a book above is titled, "Everybody poops 10000 pounds?"

hackernews is bigoted? Well that's news. I had no idea.

Climate change and global warming. Less people = less warming.

Okay so say I believe you. Why do you think a large majority of third party devs shuttered their projects they worked on for so long if it was just as easy as adding a subscription fee? Why didn't more of them do it? I know of one that actually implemented a subscription. If folks were actually doing much less than 1000 API calls daily then you'd think most devs would have gone that way right?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

They would actually use much more. See [here] ( https://www.reddit.com/r/redditdev/comments/141mjij/lets_talk_about_those_api_calls/). Basically almost everything is an API request. Just loading a post and doing very little you have close to 33 requests. Even if my math was wrong it's still way too much to pay for per day. Especially if folks are using much more that 1000 API calls per day.

Okay let's do the math. According to here there is expected to be about 55.79 million folks using reddit daily. Let's say a good 5 million folks use Sync. Now, reddit said it would charge $0.24 per 1000 API calls. You can find that here. Now 1000 calls isn't much at all really. Let's say those 5 million folks just 1000 API calls a day ( they wont' actually use ONLY 1000 ). So we have 1000 * 5,000,000 * 0.24 = $1,200,000,000. That's per day. Does that seem sustainable to you? Like if folks were using MUCH MUCH less I could see your point. But the fact is....they weren't and reddit were being assholes about it. Now compare that to what he's charging. $17 bucks for a year. Let's break that down and compare it to what he'd be paying per day. Say all 5 million users were paying for Ultra. That's 5,000,000 * 17 = $85,000,000. Divide that by 12 to get per month. 85,000,000/12 = $7,083,333 per month. Divide by 30 for average revenue per day. $7,083,333/30 = $236,111. Now tell me that even comes close to $1,200,000,000. Your logic is flawed. This doesn't even account for fees and possible server costs.

Unfortunately not. I looked thoroughly for one.

No. In a previous post he mentioned that Google has really cracked down on apps that are too similar. I really enjoyed Sync Pro in the past, but looks like papa Google said no.
