Awww did someone get an ear infection and need ear drops

Christian Tietze

@christianselig did the cat just dodge an armor breaking bullet that hit the concrete wall?

Would explain the expression

David Bureš

@christianselig He just like me fr (I also had an ear infection and needed drops recently)

Is there any "meta" with YouTube and which video codec to upload so as to help with processing times? h264? VP9?

@christianselig anecdotally I’ve found AV1 to be much faster than H.264

Sang

@christianselig Lower resolution videos will generally process much, much faster, so if you want to optimize for processing time, I’ve found 720p video processes pretty quickly (it’ll be a bit faster too if you encode based on the YT guidelines - h.264 @ ~7.5 Mbps): support.google.com/youtube/ans.

YT seems to always re-encode uploads though, so I usually just live with the processing time and upload prores 422. The quality generally is noticeably better, esp at the higher end of the ladder like 2k/4k.

@christianselig it’s possible you have some encoder setting enabled/disabled that’s causing YT to deprioritize your processing, but it’s more likely deprioritized because you don’t have a ton of/consistent views on your channel. Also 4K will slow down processing a good bit.

Excited for Severance season 2, but I miss when shows came out yearly as a kid, I barely remember what happened in season 1 at this point

@christianselig When you get to work you’ll remember what happened.

Dallas Groot

@christianselig there are very well put together YouTube videos explaining what all happened.

YouTube wouldn't build an app for the Apple Vision Pro, so I did! Introducing Juno, an Apple Vision Pro app for YouTube, now available at juno.vision 📺🥽

@christianselig Juno looks great, but unfortunately I don’t have the full $3,604 to spare. I do, however, have $5 I’d be eager to part with if you were ever to make a version for iOS.

An amazing independent client for YouTube is needed for all the same reasons that Apollo was needed for Reddit. The current crop of them is pretty awful.

Congrats on having a great looking app on launch day!

@christianselig At first I didn't realize this was a video, then clicked and it gets even better. It's a 3D printer for you, a thousand finger massage unit for your cat. :)

@christianselig
All the cats I've known well (20+) have liked lying on top of washing machines during the spin cycle (even during cool 30℃ washes).

This machine looked pretty vibratey in a similar way. You may draw your own conclusions. :)

@christianselig I voted B originally as I “like” it more, but on reflection A reads more as a Tiger than just a cat. So now I’m conflicted.

bapt :smug:

@christianselig B, because it's a cub and because the tail is important:)

Christian Selig

Here's a little sneak peek for what would have been Apollo for iPad. You have stackable panes allowing you to easily view and move through multiple things at once (or go full screen!), Gallery Mode, and sections are moved to the side, with support for opening new tabs

@christianselig glad we don’t get to have that, would have been horrible. Lucky Reddit saved us 😭

infix

@christianselig loved and miss Apollo Christian. Not tempted to build a Lemmy app?

Christian Selig

Also, if you bought the "Goodbye Apollo" wallpaper set, might be worth refreshing it! It started out with 8 wallpapers but is now up to 30, which you get for free if you unlocked it previously.

If you didn't, you can unlock it in the Apollo app or from christianselig.gumroad.com/l/g

@christianselig no chance at getting a “diving for upvotes” themed wallpaper, eh? That was my favourite icon. Not sure if you’re adding any more in the future but that would be a cool one to add! The ones you’ve already got are incredible already

the three-day monk

@christianselig These are great! Thank you for putting this together. I can’t really speak for any community, but I’m sure I’m not alone when I say that you did some amazing things with Apollo. You deserve to be proud for all of it. I’m looking forward to all the things you do in the future.

Christian Selig

Thought I'd record deleting Apollo and its API token from the Reddit dashboard 🥹 ow

@christianselig this sucks i keep opening it and hoping the widget updates the art but nothing :/ Hoping you will be back with the most fire app for mastodon as a blanket replacement for twitter and reddit

juco

@christianselig absolutely gutting. Best of luck for whatever you do next

Christian Selig

Well, at least Reddit has admitted their "we're not trying to be like Twitter/Elon" stuff was false

@christianselig

Astonishing that _anyone_ thinks Musk's work at Twitter has been positive in any way. Even financially -- is that awful platform really going to start earning back the -- what -- $22bn he's lost on it so far?

The Animal and the Machine

@christianselig @DataDrivenMD
These CEO’s think people are idiots, which makes them idiots.

If you want to talk deals, it’s either
a) I give freely into the public domain and expect everything to be in the public domain.
b) You pay people who add value and we all have a commercial relationship.

In some ways I’m pleased this control is exposed, but it didn’t have to be this way.

Christian Selig

It's a real shame that Reddit seems to care this little about the community that rather than making an effort to talk to developers and moderators and apologize for how this was handled, they'd rather just wall themselves off and and dare users to keep going. theverge.com/2023/6/13/2375955

Christian Selig

No one is asking Reddit for the moon and the stars, just to listen to small changes.

Even Twitch, which made horrendous moves this month, recognized that the community is what gives their company any value at all, and responded in some capacity to make their users feel heard.

Christian Selig

As the subreddit blackout begins, I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to the Reddit community and everyone standing up ❤️ Let's hope Reddit listens. reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comment

@christianselig I'm hoping they change course but I'm going to delete the apollo icon from my homescreen just in case. Wouldn't want to accidentally visit the site.

Best of luck 🤞

Christian Selig

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. ❤️ reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comment

@christianselig This whole thing is just sad and depressing... I really hope for a small miracle. But thank you for your great work!

Tim T—

@christianselig Thank you for a great app. On the plus side: I’m already excited for what you do next.

Christian Selig

I’ve had a lot of questions about Reddit’s planned AMA today and “What if they…”, so I added a section to the bottom of my post to answer that and thought I’d share it here too.

Got off my call with Reddit just now about the API. Bad news unless I come up with 20 million dollars (not joking). Appreciate boosts. reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comment

DELETED

@christianselig Sounds like they are trying to kill off 3rd party apps in order to have full control over their users exclusively via their own app. That sucks. I don't use Apple anymore but when I did I used Apollo and it's a top quality Reddit client. Hope you're able to develop another app/income stream.

My new favorite Siri/HomePod interaction just happened 😛

“Hey Siri pause”

-HomePod lowers music volume to speak-

“There's nothing playing”

-increases music volume back up-

@christianselig I had something like that:
“Hey Siri, turn on the lights in the living room”
“Okay, some of the lights didn’t respond, you can ask me which ones”
“Which ones?”
“Here’s what I found on the internet for ‘which ones’”

😐
