How did Huawei get it’s hands on a Snapdragon chip? If I recall correctly, they’re under US trade sanctions.

Maybe they won’t kill it within 3 years because they have plans to license this technology to other companies (language apps?).

Maybe this comparison is an exaggeration, as the Steam Deck GPU is also widely compared to a GTX 1050 in horsepower, which in turn seems substantially more powerful than a SD 8 Gen 2.

I’ve seen some people recommend using RedReader, which is an app whitelisted by Reddit for being accessibility-friendly. I’ve tried and it is not too bad. I simply don’t have much patience to play cat and mouse with Reddit’s inevitable crackdown.

However I’m only using it to access NSFW subs. For everything else, I’m sticking to Lemmy. It’s possible to bypass the API’s blockage of NSFW content by creating a subreddit (it can stay in private mode), which in turn will turn the user into a moderator, and mods are given free access to NSFW content for moderation purposes. 😎

I would understand your argument if you were talking about a Smart TV app like Netflix, in which they have to assure API backwards compatibility for TV OSes that are slow to approve app updates (or won’t accept at all once the TV is old enough).

But in the case of Reddit which app is on mobile phones, I find it hard to believe they’d be too worried about blocking access to older versions of their API. If someone can access Reddit’s app, then this person has internet access, and so is able to update the app.

It may be so initially, but the developer will be burdened updating the extension for the foreseeable future to maintain compatibility with Lemmy updates.

Wouldn’t it be more useful contributing this feature directly to Lemmy?
