A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

developments to this point:

The Verge is on it as usual, also--here's their latest coverage (h/t @[email protected]):

It’s not just Apollo: other Reddit apps are shutting down, too

I'm using libreddit on PC, and Offline Reader for Reddit for my android, I'm not good at tech stuff, can anyone confirm if they are also exempted?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I believe that libreddit is looking for a workaround against the reddit api changes, if they cannot find one they will move to web scraping

Unless they find a workaround or switch to web scraping, I don't think so. RedReader was exempted specifically because it has a lot of accessibility features for blind users who use screen readers.
