Not entirely. I tried to leave when they enforced the initial API changes, but there's just not enough content on Lemmy to satisfy me. I ended up finding Relay for Reddit which uses the API and costs me a couple dollars a month. I still won't contribute to Reddit anymore (no voting, posting, or commenting), but it was a great way to get content from my long curated lost of subreddits. Now I won't be able to use the Relay app anymore. I'm never using the Reddit app, so that leaves browsing on mobile using Firefox with uBlock Origin and Reddit Bouncer to cut through all the shit. I'm not sure I'll actually browse that way, but I didn't think I'd go back at all after the initial API changes either.

    Two centrist Democrats, Reps. Jared Golden of Maine and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington, took the unusual step Tuesday of rescuing GOP leaders’ own agenda in the face of a conservative rebellion.

    Those Democrats backed a key GOP procedural vote that needed to succeed for Republicans to later bring several bills to the floor.

    I purchased the OnePlus 17 over the holidays, and hate it. It's so full of AI bloatware I actually purchased a third party camera app just so that my photos won't be heavily AI manipulated. It's so bad, that I have actually been considering converting back to iPhone. The last iPhone I owned was the 4.

    In April 2024, an Indian-origin customer named Bhuwan Chitransh complained about a defective MacBook skin on Twitter. Dbrand responded by mocking his surname with the tweet: "Your last name is basically shit rash, be serious." [...] CEO Adam Ijaz acknowledged the remark as a "severe lapse in judgment"

    Holy shit that's an understatement!

    I'm really just posting this in hopes that it helps someone in a similar situation in the future.

    Long story short, I ended up removing my Atomi smart space heater (AT1481) from the Atomi smart app while attempting to troubleshoot time zones. This was a problem because Atomi removed the heaters from the app entirely when the recall went out. No amount of installing old APKs would allow me to add the heater back to the app. I tried using other apps like SmartLife to add it back through their interface, but no luck. The one thing I actually needed from the app was to set a schedule for it to automatically turn on and off. Well, it turns out that this model doesn't have modern safety mechanisms that require you to manually turn the heater back on when the power goes out and comes back on (I wouldn't be surprised if this was part of the reason for the recall, and not just the smart functions). If you use a smart plug, you can actually set a schedule to turn the heater off and on and it will retain all the previous settings and resume heating. Other settings will still require you to manually set them on the heater, but this allowed me to solve the one need that I personally had. I hope someday it can help others too!

    Disclaimer: Running a space heater unattended can be very dangerous! Do not do this if you are concerned about children or pets knocking the heater or something else over that can create a fire hazard!
