They do, actually. Eligible creators (basically you have to live in the US, be over 18 and have made at least 100 karma in the last 12 months) can claim 33% of the money spent on the gold.
Please don’t just say “no” to a question without actually doing research. Disliking a platform isn’t a reason to spread misinformation about it.
You get $0.90 per gold - the fancier golden upvotes are worth multiple gold, with the most expensive one being worth 25 gold. So the post creator can claim 33% back
Theoretically, yes. Supposedly (If you live in the US) you can cash out $0.90 for every ‘gold’ you receive. In the image, the leftmost golden upvote is worth one ‘gold’, and the rightmost is worth 25. This means that one gold is bought for $2.69, so the post creator can claim 33% of that money back if they are eligible. https://www.reddit.com/contributor-program
This isn’t entirely true, according the article. If a producer in the US was using the name “Champagne” before 2005, they can continue to do so, but producers can’t start using it anymore.
It took two decades of negotiations, but finally, in 2005, the U.S. and the EU reached an agreement. In exchange for easing trade restrictions on wine, the American government agreed that California Champagne, Chablis, Sherry and a half-dozen other ‘semi-generic’ names would no longer appear on domestic wine labels – that is unless a producer was already using one of those names.
Some people rely on ‘screen readers’ (software that reads text on the screen out loud when you move your finger over it) to browse content on Lemmy. Some screen readers can read text on images (I know Apple’s does, not sure about Android), but obviously it can make mistakes and there’s missing context a lot of the time. Hence the transcriptions.
There are also a couple of other benefits. The post is more likely to appear in search results if someone searches for text included in the transcription. And if the image fails to load for whatever reason, or the image host deletes it, you can get the gist from the transcription.
Not sure; I’ve wondered that before too. If I had to guess I’d say people just keep naming future kings after previously liked kings - the first few king Louis weren’t all that popular, but later on there were some popular ones (Louis IX was named a saint, for instance, which may have boosted it).
16 is certainly a lot of kings to have the same name. I believe there’s 20-something Pope Johns, if I recall correctly
For anyone who doesn't know what this is - Apollo had a feature (see image) that would show the weather at a location in the header of a location-related subreddit. For example, r/Tokyo would show the weather in Tokyo. This was only added in iOS 16 and was off by default iirc, which is why many people may not have heard about it.
I agree this is a cool feature, but it's far from essential so it'll probably be some time before we consider it properly. I'll add it to our backlog 👍
I don’t see why you’re being downvoted - whilst a significant portion of Apple’s claimed ‘carbon neutrality’ can indeed be attributed to carbon offsets, they have also made changes in other areas. Here’s a graph from Apple’s climate report that shows the supposed change in emissions between last year and this year’s watches.
We’re sorry this happened! Users aren’t meant to be able to remove the info stack widget 🤔 Did the app let you remove the info stack widget, or did it bug out and remove all of the widgets itself?
Deleting the app and redownloading it from the App Store should fix this, but you’ll have to readjust all of your settings I’m afraid. I’ll add a ‘reset’ button for the interaction bar customiser in the next version, so that it’s easier to fix if this happens again.
