We don’t have our devs on call at all. Infra / platform ops are and I think they get 750€ per on-call week (not more than one week out of four) which includes two calls or two hours of call duration whichever is reached first.

After that it’s another 70€ per call or started hour and it’s the same if an expert who is not on call is asked to help out with an issue reported to on-call (but they may not answer / decline as there’s never an expectation to be “soft on-call”)

Overall that’s an okay deal and some sorely needed extra money for the ops guys and gals. But all the same I’m happy that my devs don’t need to plan their lives around an on-call schedule.

Edit: Ah sorry, didn’t even answer all the questions in OP…

We’re in Germany and there is a cooldown time after you fielded an emergency on-call report (which is outside of regular working hours by definition) which is either 8 or 10 hours (not entirely sure since my team doesn’t do on-call as previously stated) before you are allowed to start your regular work time for the following day.
Not sure how they tally up working hours for payroll but if you wake up to a call at 3am then certainly no one expects you to be online again at 8am. If you get a call at 10pm however then you get to start working normally the next day. (unless that issue took forever to troubleshoot ofc)

On-call rotations are one entire week per person who participates (which is not mandatory) and the participants per pool must be at least four - which is why they are pooling web admins, DBAs and other ops folk together.
That seems to work okay even though every so often more specialized know-how is required than the current on-call tech possesses for the topic at hand and then they request extraordinary assistance as described above.

Tell me you are a psychopath without telling me you are a psychopath.

From “don’t be evil” to “you know, what’s so bad about being evil anyway?”

There was another Twitler who tried to create an everything Reich.

Apple is a litigation company disguised as hardware sales. Steve “thermonuclear war” Jobs saw to this.

It used to be Relay for me as well. Other apps had neat features I wish Relay had gotten as well, but I couldn’t get away from its neat UI and UX even though I tried pretty much every third-party reddit app there was.

I’m certainly sad to leave a handful of my favorite communities behind but Reddit overall can burn down for all I care. Even before the API BS and Huffmann lying through his teeth the Reddit experience had gotten more and more annoying aside from the coziest of subreddits.

Time to move on and perhaps some of the app devs try their hand at a sleek threadiverse app with all of the QoL goodies.

Yeah, there are extensions that enable injecting custom CSS. I’m using Stylus in Chrome (switched to that from Stylish about two years ago) and essentially you need to override the native CSS with lots of !important style declarations. Basically like Inspect Element but will load every time once the relevant website(s) is done loading.

If the HTML classes and ids are straightforwards that’s fairly easy, like old.reddit for instance. But every time they change the classes you need to go in a manually tweak it. And once a site starts obfuscating their code it’s not worth the effort anymore.
But it’s possible and for a while I honed my meager CSS skills by doing my own bespoke stylesheets. :)

Yeah, you’re right. They try but it’s not the same.

Before Dark Reader I used to make custom dark theme CSS for all the sites that I frequented heavily and spent so much time tweaking things so it came out “mostly right”.

Dark Reader isn’t perfect all the time but the peace of mind it grants me is immeasurable:)

My goodness, so it didn’t just feel like Huffman was a discount Elon but that’s literally what he is aspiring to?
I don’t know what could be more pathetic than the MBA*hole emulating the Blood Emerald Silverspoon Kid Without Skills.

Reddit is so going down the drain, the downward cycle was palpable over the last years but now they’re accelerating with Mach 3.

@VulcanSphere

Count this as my vote as well. Take every other extension away (uBlock Origin excluded obv) but I simply can’t endure the eye-searing pain of the internet without Dark Reader.
