As an added bonus, the text that’s taped to the steering wheel tyre reads “Wednesday” in Chinese. Which seems to suggest a different wheel(s) for other days of the week.

Interestingly the $/£5 YouTube app being referenced in the article was whipped up by Christian, the dev of Apollo for Reddit. A post on his website details how’s he managed to get a relatively custom UI and video player using what appears to be browser extensions and the YouTube public API.

I’m not entirely sure what’s you’re trying to imply. But Bangkok is a city in Thailand.

I feel like the developer should actually get some legal advice. In the U.K., “the crown” does not refer to the monarchy, but some legal entity that might as well be the state.

You can also apply it when watching a YouTube video by appending “&wadsworth=1” to the url.

I feel you. Working in healthcare, ms office is the only thing consistently installed site wide I can take advantage of to run a db.

Non- tech: I’m a psychiatrist, generally working with offenders in hospital and prisons. The clinical work is always interesting, and im usually thankful for openness at which people spill their life stories to me.

Tech: I’ve kinda thought myself software development since I started working as a doctor. There’s just too much inefficiencies in the way we work clinically day-to-day due to the sheer amount of defensive practice inherent in the health system. Started off with personal tools to “assist” the electronic systems in place. But since then I’ve launched and maintained a number of digital clinical tools in a few local hospital which I’m pretty proud of.

Eating bitterness (吃苦） is a phrase that really brings me back to my time growing up in east Asia. However it seems older generations believing their offspring are too weak / spoilt to handle what they themselves have gone through appears to be a pretty universal thing.

Have a look at the communities in the instance infosec.pub.

I think ultimately it depends on what your use case is. Comparing Apollo to any web version of Reddit, there were already a few use cases which were definitely superior in my view:

• the video / gif player with supports scrubbing by touch.
• packaging comment chains into screenshots to share, with automated features like blurring usernames, selecting depth of parent / child comments to include, merging with post content
• being able to "favourite" a sub without actually subscribing
• hiding posts that you've already seen

Ultimately, as with any tool, the best tool is the one you have on you.

When this saga began, I didn't think I'd be struggling with such a sense of disconnect with the loss of an app of all things. However, I do feel that Christian's eulogy for Apollo helped, a gentle reminder to "smile because it happened". Here's to moving on.

This reminds me on why I turned off personalised ads on Google many years ago.

I work as a psychiatrist, and regularly have to search for literature surrounding the medications I prescribe (like antidepressants). After a few months of practice, Google started having ads that start with “if you’re depressed, have you tried… ?” Or the more click-baity “so-and-so have tried … and you won’t believe what happens next! ”

It was funny the first few times, thinking that Google must have profiled me as depressed.
