Apparently it is not. They have submitted it to the ietf. I will have to watch closely to see if librecalc/excel and languages/libraries adopt support. Seems like it does solve some common problems with CSV.
For me I use the accessibility shortcut, three presses of the side button pops up a menu so I can select color filters (grey scale) and reduce white point (80% is my default). I enable both when I am reading. It's really helped eye strain when I'm reading.
I use an iPhone. I tried switching to Android 3 times over the years since the first iPhone came out. Same plan, same provider, grandfathered in, same house, same spot. Each Android phone did not get the same level of cell service in my house as the iPhone. I have side gigs I do contract work for, and I have had cases of missing calls where the Androids have cost me $100's of dollars; the phone didn't ring... just a voicemail notification showing up hours later.
After the 3rd attempt, the last being a Nexus 5, I gave up. I draw a line when a device messes with my income, regardless of my ideological stance on open source and not having a Windows device or even an Apple laptop in the house for the last 15 years. I'm hitting 40 this year, and switching doesn't have the appeal it once did, and I'm not sure it's worth the effort at this point.
To answer the question, yes we do try, and some of even want to. In my case it just wasn't in the cards
Apollo did have a backend that made up for features that the Reddit API either kept as private APIs or refused to implement. He released the code as open source last week. He paid a part-time developer for the implementation and maintenance of code as well.
Featured that other APIs offer, like webhooks, pub/sub etc., were requested by various developers over the years but never implemented or took far longer to implement (years). This led to developers designing workarounds to get feature parity with Reddit's app, i.e., notifications. A few of these drastically cut down on total number of API calls by design, which would help them reduce the infrastructure spend they are so concerned with.
Ignoring the content consuming (Apollo, RiF, Sync, etc.) third-party app side of the discussion.
My biggest takeaway from the entire argument is Reddit now has 2000 employee's but 100 of the requests for improvements for the API, built-in moderator tools, etc., have been mishandled/ignored/years late. Because of that, many people took matters into their own hands and used the API to fill in the gaps in their moderation/admin/creator workflow, and initially, before they conceded on some of those tools, they were affected as well. It wasn't until a couple of days into the uproar (after the price was released, before the blackout) that they reversed course on some of those tools, including conceding the accessibility apps (being 39, and wearing hearing aids for severe loss, I sympathize with the users that are protesting because the web and first party app are lacking in this). I can understand the protest from the above, especially giving the short timeline between prices being released and go live.
I'm all for businesses being profitable; I'm all for companies having the right to adjust processes, prices and change terms, etc., but in my opinion, Reddit has severely mismanaged this situation and, in general, been a severely mismanaged business if they are as the CEO says not profitable by now.
From reading a few blog posts, there appears to be a complete lack of process and governance since the moderator team resigned and the "leadership chat" (which I understand was only supposed to be temporary) was implemented.
I didn't care for the official statement, it's great they apologized, but it's lacking a lot of details and an RCA. The explanations from other members personal blogs go in further detail and that makes the official statement seem kind of hand wavey.
I'm born and raised in Louisiana left in my late 20's for 10 years in Texas and now live on the East Coast. My accent is all over the place, only time my Louisiana or Texas accent for that matter, come back is if I spend a minimal of two weeks in either state. Company I worked for in Texas out of a few thousand people I only heard a Louisiana accent once and his was way more pronounced then mine being he was from closer to true Cajun country.
I was highly interested in Zed and joined the wait list for Alpha/Beta over a year ago. With that said, I've been using Linux as my only OS for 15 years. I was highly disappointed when the beta was released it was MacOS only.
Original documentation/hype around it tried to make it seem like it would be a cross-platform competitor to VSCode and a replacement to Atom from the start. Recently they even locked the platform support GitHub issue for Linux with the below comment.
> Cross platform support is still very much on our radar and we’re dedicated to support both Windows and Linux in the future. As we've previously stated, we aren't taking feedback on the roadmap for platform support and as such we've decided to lock this issue. Any update regarding this will be noted on our website.
No open roadmap, no firm platform support commitments, and a closed development stance from the get go, make this a non starter for me.
At this point it wouldn't surprise me if they plan on staying MacOS only and to start charging.
From their website:
> We’re Zed Industries, a small and passionate team on a mission to build the world’s best text editor—for you, and for your team.
What's funny, is my team of 30 people is 70% Linux 25% Windows with the remaining 5% being MacOS users who are managers who don't touch code in spend their time in Jira/ServiceNow.
I recently moved from VSCode/Neovim back to Jetbrains/Neovim and at this point I think I'm done switching.
Optiplex 9020's make surprisingly good home servers. I have three, a 2 node proxmox cluster and 1 running as a NAS. The cluster is running 15 VM's including a 5 node docker swarm. I downsized from older HP G1 series in a rack when I moved across country in 2019 and couldn't be happier. Runs everything I need and they were cheap to max out.
