  1. Comment on Apollo will close down on June 30th. Reddit’s recent decisions and actions have unfortunately made it impossible for Apollo to continue. Thank you so, so much for all the support over the years. in ~tech

    Well, that settles it. Reddit was fun while it lasted, this is my home from now on.

    Early 2010s. Tech was advanced enough that most sites didn’t suck too badly but there wasn’t nearly as much advertising or intense spam as there is now.

    Anyone remember the old YouTube layout on desktop? Those customizable channels were the bomb — that’s another thing I miss. Seemingly every website had some ability to customize heavily, be it with images or even CSS.

    Thank you for your offer!! :) I'll probably give it a shot at some point soon, got relatively decent at fixing kernel shenanigans when I was running Manjaro. Lots of instability on there!

    My intro to programming was Java, 10 or so years ago. I learned to make Minecraft mods, haha.

    In my eyes the most important thing to learn programming is simply to do - set a (hopefully reasonable!) goal, and learn as you go.

    Me and a group of close friends are working on a survival / exploration indie game! I can’t share much until we announce it properly (some time this year!) but we’re all super excited about it.

    Hey everyone!

    I’m an 11 year reddit grandma who is absolutely fed up with the direction the site is headed in. Really noticing a trend with the number of veteran users in this thread - it’s really nice to see so many people who are migrating here.

    I managed to snag my first name as a username here too, so that’s pretty cool. Looking forward to interacting with everyone here!
