Some what true for comments - that is if you always just go with reddit's old theme and not custom sub ones. But also way nicer to read, that might of course be personal choice.

Not true for the feed though. If you switch to the compact feed on the redesign you'll even see more posts than you'd see on default old.

Compact and Classic mode aren't less dense - you can switch to those in the top right of the feed.

But I do agree with the infinite scroll point, or at least the way they implemented it.

That has less to do with the user interface though :) But in general, and for many subs, I agree.

> Defaults to some stupid instagram wall-like view where every link takes half the page

Which is changed with a single click in the top right of the feed and it never defaulted back for me. (At least not the last 2+ years.)

> The whole thing is now centered in a tiny slice of the screen

If you're talking about the feed, it's not. At least not in classic or compact mode. Besides that, depends on your screen / windows size of course.

> Threads open in some weird modal mode where accidentally clicking outside of the content takes you to the previous page

Guess that's a matter of taste? I like it, I know there are people who force similar behaviour on old with plugins, so... - The implementation is still wonky though and the overall still existing, at least at times, slowness of the redesign (/api) fucks with it.

Last two points are less of an UI more of an UX thing and Reddit pushing their app. Still sucks of course. For mobile I can only recommend using third party apps - better than the mobile view and the official app.

I mean, yes that's stupid, but also makes the site pretty much inaccessible in the first place and I wouldn't put that under an "user interface" complain. That's also not the redesign the op is talking about. (Unless he's using his mobile browser in desktop mode... then he afaik won't run into that restriction and it's a 100% better than the old. desktop version.)

What's so much worse / "toxic" about the new user-interface compared to the default old. one?

Wow, how did I miss that earlier... and googling it tells you on two different 3rd party airbnb blogs that you'd do it in your profile settings.

Thanks!

How do you change the currency without logging in? Because as soon as I log in on .com.au to do that, I'll get the not so transparent pricing again :(

Edit: It's just in the footer and I was blind. Thanks, that's actually awesome!

> 2) let verified accounts choose to only (or mainly) interact with other verified accounts

That is already a thing if you are verified and one of the reasons why "blue checkmark for $2" (Elon's plan) won't work and will make many verified people unhappy. They don't want even more peasants and "cloud chasers" in their verified timeline.

They aren't. There are sometimes hacked verified accounts being abused, and I guess charging for the checkmark would result in less verified accounts and thus less hacked accounts... but bit of a reach :)

Those are also not really the problem.

Not the OP making the claim, but I also looked for recent data and couldn't find any (especially for M1 macs because I just switched to one).

So I just compared them myself for my typical work and media playback (Youtube & Twitch), just anecdotal and totally unscientific though, ranked by MacOs's Energy Impact with the best being 100%.

All with the same extensions (if available, for Safari I used adguard instead of ublock origin).

Safari Technlogy Preview: 100%

Brave Beta: 110%

Orion: 300%

Firefox: 1200% :(

While Safari also used slightly less memory, Brave is the best compromise for me for now. (e2ee sync, chrome extensions and with their crypto shenanigans disabled.)

But again, not scientific at all and of course might differ for people depending on the extensions they use and their browsing behavior.

Is it? According to Google, they're the fastest again. Maybe some HN users with M1 Macs can run the benchmarks for comparison.

> More confusion than I expected to see on a site like Hackernews.

Kinda funny, because... you're here claiming that Nintendo is (likely) doing something illegal here and are adding to the confusion.

The thing is, the removals that are in the press right now, especially the Steam Deck one, had gameplay in them... and as far as I know and understand US law and its current interpretation, Nintendo is likely well within its rights to DMCA gameplay.

They just recently updated it. (https://www.ea.com/ea-app-beta)

Doubt they'll drop it, but who knows.

No worries, Origin will be replaced soon... by the even more awful EA Desktop Client.

> It's $5/yr in eth for the actual registration fee.

Unless you want a 3 or 4 character do... ENS name. Then it's spicy.

So... sounds about right then?

800 US$ are 700 Euro. With 20% VAT that would be 840€. And then you have additional fees on electronics in some countries.

That's your usual "1-to-1 conversion" (with a sometimes like a "50€ premium").

No, it never fully dropped.

Funny that I have to proof things when you're the one with the initial claim without any proof.

* But sure, let's start with to things. Right here in the thread, people who have acquaintances working for the original meta ulc under the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and them claiming they knew something is happening for months.

* The meta trademark transfer months ago

Also not sure why you think WSJ would contact them months before about/with a whistleblower. But I'm sure WSJ stated that somewhere then, right?

It was also pretty likely that this would be announced during Facebook Connect (former Oculus Connect), which always was around this time the last couple of years.

Was it still a welcome coincidence and convenient? Sure. And did they use it for that? Of course, too. Who wouldn't.

So for example, a BS narrative that worked was Zuckerberg claiming a week? before that he wasn't sure about the new name yet and that it wasn't set in stone yet. That was indeed eaten up by some media.

Are you implying that he knew about the controversy happening months ago when all this was planned & announced?

Seems to me they could've handeled it a bit better then :)

I don't think they'd publish some random e-mail address of a random person.

Are we sure that isn't the address the extortion mail came from? Would make more sense?

The PRO/CON page [0] says they don't have 2FA yet, is that still true?

And anything else you'd mention as a con? I'm trying to remember why I didn't put them on my short list, maybe it was the 2FA thing, but I think there was something else.

There might be a difference, but there isn't for the consumer in this case, if that is what he really cares about.

They are allowed to publish everything on the 25th, that is still in the pre-order window, and everybody can cancel their pre-orders or wait until then to pre-order in the first place.

Also, not being mentioned here is, that another advantage of that staggered approach is that smaller reviewers get the phones right now and have a chance to publish their reviews at the same time as the big boys. And the big boys also had the option to opt-out of the early units, if they disagree with Google's way of handling it - and get it now, like the smaller guys.

I also think MKBHD did do similar stuff with Apple in the past, was it the new Mac Pro by chance, where he was one of the chosen ones who got one really early but couldn't show everything? I vaguely remember something like that.

In which episode(s) did he talk about it? I checked 2 or 3 episodes around that time and it did not come up. We are talking about the Waveform podcast, right?

Besides that, I'm sure his reach on Social Media & Youtube is quite a bit larger than on his podcast. And I guess, the reason he had those comments under his videos was, because those people don't listen to his podcast either.

Funny to see him in that video, with him getting begged by his viewers to cover the CSAM scanning controversy on every video for weeks - but he ignored it. Wonder why.

Interesting. Wasn't it the same for the last pixel? And also, MKBHD still made a video about them, why? Wouldn't it hurt Google more if he would just not cover them?

Also, he regularly has Apple devices that he also has similar embargoes for and is not allowed to release stuff until the products are on the street or shortly before that - as for this Pixel. Does he always call it a red flag there too?

Twitch partners also have forced 2FA for quite some time now, should be a couple of years now - at least more than a year though. Covid killed my sense of time.

Yeah, this has nothing per se to do with exclusivity though. (As in, XX months exclusivity to Twitch. For those who don't know, every common partnered streamer already is exclusively bound to Twitch for livestreaming content. If he wants to stream somewhere else, he loses his partnership. (And yes, there are exceptions, old contracts, ...))

And "premium contracts" to keep talent were offered pretty much since day 1, just looked quite different back then. (Mainly just differentiated in sub share. For the last 2-3 years they also include better ad payouts (and a minimum of ad time), boni for minimum amount of hours streamed, etc.))

And... every streamer who only cares a bit about his business already knows, at least for the most part, what kind of contract other streamers are on.

So don't think there will be any (real) drama - but I also didn't see or hear of any extreme unexpected outliers.

Examples? And what makes you think that one-off payments for exclusivity are in that data? Because they're not.

https://youtu.be/kZRg0_B0XX4 - Yeah this absolutely looks like an act of terrorism!

(Actually, on a serious note, the person going there with the sole goal of stirring up the protest is more likely the one to be the terrorist, no? I'd say taking away that sign and even potentially removing the person is actually de-escalating. But you should obviously let the police do that.)
