What was so special about the Apollo app?

Reply in thread

He was even better than that - not many people realised he purposely allowed free posting from Apollo to Reddit groups related to depression, suicide, addiction etc.

Normally you had to pay for Pro sub in Apollo to be able to post, but he didn't want to create any barriers for people seeking help so allowed the free app to post to those subs.

Should pubs and restaurants be kid-free zones? (The Guardian)

Reply in thread

Depends, uk licensing laws are complex... for example a pub with an area set aside for serving a substantive meal may be permitted children in those areas only if they are eating with adults.

A restaurant with a pub/bar attached, even if completely openly attached so looks exactly the same as the pub example above, will almost certainly be permitted to serve children food without an adult present (at least legally, some may have policies against that).

And those are the easiest examples.

Aye so people keep telling me, I wish I knew what was causing my issues as would much rather be using it - prefer the UI, the customisation etc but the performance I just had to give up on the end.

I see the Reddit BS of downvoting stuff people disagree with has moved to Lemmy as well... Won't take long for the morons to ruin open conversations on here as well 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️
