As of a few minutes ago old.reddit.com now seems to requre logging in to access it.

Shame as it was still the best place to browse for info about some niche interests.

Edit: Seems like they might be testing the change as it is hit or miss at the moment.

Edit: Adding this to My flilters in uBlock Origin seems to fix the issue for the time being:

Once Android bootloaders got locked down I jumped ship. I loved custom ROMs. I also used to side load a lot of apks/emulate games. Now my Steam Deck is my dedicated emulation hand held, before that a modded 3DS. My only reasons to stay on Android disappeared.

Also iMessage is just so much better than allo/gmessages/hangouts/etc. I waited for over a decade for Google to create and stick with an ecosystem.

I loaded all my music on Google play music, then it was google music all access subscriptions, then it was YouTube music.

Tried to get the family into hangouts video, then it changed to duo+allo, then they killed allo so half the family abandoned duo…

It’s an endless cycle with Google. The kill more apps than most companies will ever create. Nobody has any buy in with their ecosystem because it’s dogshit.

If you like the idea of playing 3DS games on an Android device, you might want to check out the Ayn Thor

I really was only playing GBC/GBA games on Android. I meant that I went on to emulate those GBC/GBA games on 3DS and didn’t need Android anymore.

3DS is pretty much the only system that I prefer to play on original hardware.

But dang that is an impressive piece of kit! I kinda want one just as a backup to my N3dsXL.
