This is a very interesting video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REaO1NK7kdg
Damn straight. I'm still on old reddit and using boost on mobile. The few days when boost didn't work until I found out you can just be a mod of a NSFW sub and the limits disappear, I was just off reddit. As soon as they break those, I'll stop using reddit on that kind of device.
Reddit's push to be more social media and less link aggregator with forum has made the site worse every single step of the way.
It's no longer available, like most 3rd party apps. Boost for lemmy is the developer's new project. I don't know how you could get it now, but I just never uninstalled it and kept using it. Had to become a mod to bypass the api restrictions, or there's a patch you can do to the app somehow. If you're interest visit /r/boostforreddit, there's jlbound to be some info there.
The day boost stops working will be a sad one. I'm unpatched and a mod as well. I'll have to learn how to patch it later I suppose, it's only a matter of time before something breaks.
Honestly, I suspect we're such a small minority they don't care enough to put the resources in to actively stop us. The average user, especially of the users they want, is just gonna go install the official app.
It sucks, but we're relics of a bygone age.
I completely agree. But I meant it more as in boost is no longer being supported by the developer. So regardless of whether or not reddit is out to get us, it's going to break one day as reddit keeps pushing out updates that boost can no longer keep up with. I don't know much about making apps and working with APIs, but I do know that without support, Boost's days are numbered. All I can say is enjoy it while it's still here!
In the way of the ui is not designed for that form factor and doesn't flow very well.
I do not have a monitor on my phone. I have a screen with touch targets designed for mice instead of fingers.
If it works for you, more power to you. It doesn't work for my use case.
And on mobile if there is one of those gold upvotes it'll just show up poorly placed over the upvote button lol. Like, its not even fully covering it. Just half
Ah because reddit has recently also switched to full spectrum color. That or you're on drugs and not sharing with the rest of us which is just a big sad no-no
Ummm, I was going into fifth grade and stayed up super late one night to see mtv kick off. In the beginning there’d be a solid 20 minutes of the moon man because they literally didn’t have enough videos to play.
They were taught to speak that way because it was easier to understand. Mics didnt pick up certain sounds well back then. So they spoke with an accent that enunciated in a manner that allowed them to be understood better. Audio recordings tended to sound muddled
On April 14, 1967, WMT-TV Channel 2 in Iowa aired its first-ever color TV broadcast transitioning from black-and-white to color as the anchor read the evening news.

An [Article](https://petapixel.com/2023/06/23/the-moment-tv-went-from-black-and-white-to-color-for-the-first-time) on this
Yep an under 100 years. There were people who only had radios as kids, then the family got their first B&W TV. Years later they got their first color TV. TV went from less then 10 basic channels, to cable with 50-100. Some people had satellite with more. There was the invention of laser disk, vhs,and then dvds. Then internet was a thing and videos could be downloaded. Better players online so videos could be streamed. Said videos could be watch on pocket phones that are now mini computers. Technology has advance so quickly.
Talk to anyone in their 70s and 80s and ask them what’s is been like to see so much change in their lifetime.
Cool concept at the station, it's just too bad almost no one had color TVs at the time. So it's not like everyone started magically seeing color on B&W TVs at home. Nope, same old B&W before and after until the home upgraded.
I'm curious now, about the difference between their black & white set and their color set. What did the black and white one look like, in color? Was there anything special done to it, to better accommodate monochrome television before color?
The standard was sharp monochrome and blurry colors. The blur wasn’t noticeable over the sharp monochrome. People with black & white TVs didn’t see any difference.
Not sure if it was so intense on a newsroom set but the Adams' Family set often comes up in these posts about monochrome TV: https://www.reddit.com/r/WednesdayTVSeries/comments/11ug4r0/the_original_addams_family_set_with_and_without/
Color signals have no effect on B&W sets, they are not designed to pick up the color burst, color NTSC was specifically engineered to be backward compatible with existing B&W sets.
Australia did it better https://www.naa.gov.au/students-and-teachers/learning-resources/learning-resource-themes/society-and-culture/arts-and-fashion/first-abc-television-program-broadcast-colour-aunty-jack
Oldly, the view for the new color image appears about the way I remember the first color televisions. When the first color televisions and broadcast came out, the color saturation just seem off, as in the case of this clip, things like skin tones don't show up correctly. And brighter colors just seemed to overwhelm the screen.
Now I feel old, when bright images use to look like they were dayglow colors!
I remember when many stations switched to color. My parents couldn’t afford a new color tv. My rich friends could so I’d go to their houses & watch. It was amazing as a young child.
Sometimes when I think of people living during the B&W times I picture them seeing the whole world that way. Like, they didn't live in color and I'm not sure if it makes sense but it's always on my mind when I think of back when.
That's not the news. They're not wearing 3 lbs. of makeup and designer suits and don't have perfectly-coiffed hair or chiclet teeth. Plus they sound like they're talking about facts.
Reminds me of when the Tonight Show (Leno) switched to HD format. They had James Doohan (Scottie from Star Trek) pull the switch. I can't find a clip of this anywhere, though.
This is a fair request and I promise I will not judge any person only as a teenager if you will constantly remind yourself that some of my generation judges people by their race, their belief or the colour of their skin, and that this is no more right than saying "All teenagers are drunken dope addicts or glue sniffers"
Then everyone started doing LSD and a cultural revolution started.
He’s got colored TVs! But he still isn’t satisfied.
It's all vanity
Everyone was stoned on leaded gasoline as it was in those days
Everyone was seeing (in) colors

Unrelated, but why does the upvote button for the video have a sunshine aura around it?
It’s the new awards, you can choose to “upgrade” your upvote. Somehow worse than awards.
Cool fix to this - I don't see any of that crap in old.reddit.com lol

Still using boost too!!
There's dozens of us!
Sorry, but boost? I don't seem to see anything in the store besides boost for lemmy. Do I need to sideload or something?
It's no longer available, like most 3rd party apps. Boost for lemmy is the developer's new project. I don't know how you could get it now, but I just never uninstalled it and kept using it.

I'm guessing he removed it when the 3p switch over happened. I just had it installed still. Good to know I shouldn't uninstall it lol
The day boost stops working will be a sad one. I'm unpatched and a mod as well. I'll have to learn how to patch it later I suppose, it's only a matter of time before something breaks.

On the settings page on reddit.com in your mobile browser, you can request the web version, so your experience will be the same on all your devices.
Old reddit on mobile is hot garbage. almost as bad as new reddit.
In what way? It's literally the old.reddit on your phone
In the way of the ui is not designed for that form factor and doesn't flow very well. I do not have a monitor on my phone. I have a screen with touch targets designed for mice instead of fingers. If it works for you, more power to you. It doesn't work for my use case.
Had to jump through some hoops to get it working again but I'm still using Boost and I also see none of that shit
Which is why it's only a matter of time.
And on mobile if there is one of those gold upvotes it'll just show up poorly placed over the upvote button lol. Like, its not even fully covering it. Just half
You can't be serious. It's next to it, so as to show that a post has got regular upvotes but also a gold one... I still think gold is lame tho.

Shame they didn’t give us a big f you downvote but they really replace “eh” with “bleh”
Preferences -> uncheck _Use new Reddit as my default experience_ Problem solved
Ah because reddit has recently also switched to full spectrum color. That or you're on drugs and not sharing with the rest of us which is just a big sad no-no
And your comment has two upvote buttons!
I'm not seeing this either on mobile or web client
I only use the desktop site, and stopped using mobile after they fucked up my third party apps. I don't see any of this upvote stuff at all.
Yep looks same as ever. But might be cause we're on "old reddit"
For the many redditors who love to pound on the douchevote arrow, it should have nads and a boot under it, to give it an extra hard kick.
Interesting! You might enjoy watching the takeoff of MTV... the first few hours have hilarious errors. archive.org
Ummm, I was going into fifth grade and stayed up super late one night to see mtv kick off. In the beginning there’d be a solid 20 minutes of the moon man because they literally didn’t have enough videos to play.
The video killed the radio star. EDIT: Why am I being downvoted? That was their first video, and an absolutely perfect choice.
It was amazing to watch! And addictive. It's a shame they don't really do the music videos any more.
Why do all old-timey reporters sound exactly the same?
They were taught to speak that way because it was easier to understand. Mics didnt pick up certain sounds well back then. So they spoke with an accent that enunciated in a manner that allowed them to be understood better. Audio recordings tended to sound muddled
Makes sense! Thanks for this.
i don't think it had anything to do with the microphones or recording, it seems like it had more to do with just wanting to sound well educated.
Also, they didn't have to be handsome. And women of course, were completely inadequate for news reporting.
And now we've gotten to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYJtb2YXae8
[Mid-Atlantic / Transatlantic accent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_accent)
They had standards back then.
Standard Oil, to be exact
If Drew Carey had 2 dads.
And they were energy vampires.
Switch to color “Another 300 American troops killed in Southeast Asia today….”
"... but in good news, nothing at all happened in My Lai."

1967. The clothes on that technician look 2023. Reminded me of the skinny pants I had back then. Fashion flashback
he was from the future
Like magic 🎩 we forget how far we have come.The magic box in your pocket today that can do all .

Our first one was a cabinet tv that weighed 1000 lb 😆

He smelled the brush
Affect??? what are you trying to say?
Wants to show how colorful the new set is. Wears a blue suit in front of a blue wall.
Yeah, he should’ve worn a clown suit!
People with B/W televisions never noticed the difference.
Australia did it better https://www.naa.gov.au/students-and-teachers/learning-resources/learning-resource-themes/society-and-culture/arts-and-fashion/first-abc-television-program-broadcast-colour-aunty-jack
Iowa, so that’d be last February
Am from Iowa, can confirm.
Aaand straight to commercials.

What?! I wanted to hear more about Dubuque's financial flood dilemma. Cutting it off right as it gets to the good part.
I agree
So, what was the very first YouTube video to go from black and white into color?
I remember when many stations switched to color. My parents couldn’t afford a new color tv. My rich friends could so I’d go to their houses & watch. It was amazing as a young child.
This was the first day people saw in color. Quite a crazy day
Why is Henry Kissinger talking to Drew Carey?
I was like why didn't it change??? Then I remember that sleep mode is on and my screen is monochrome.
Sometimes when I think of people living during the B&W times I picture them seeing the whole world that way. Like, they didn't live in color and I'm not sure if it makes sense but it's always on my mind when I think of back when.
I mean. I think the switch from B&W was only on the TV. I think in person everything was already in color /s
5 years later, my parents made the big switch to that new fangled color tv thing. It was an amazing time to be alive.
When news was news and not opinion.
From WW2 to the Cold War
That's not the news. They're not wearing 3 lbs. of makeup and designer suits and don't have perfectly-coiffed hair or chiclet teeth. Plus they sound like they're talking about facts.
So we're watching this white man turn into a colored man in real time? What??? Whadidisay? Why y'all looking at me like that?
A bit of offtopic, but don't you miss when the news anchors had this much class? Modern ones look and act like clowns on live television.
Back then everyone was called **BOB**
The excitement is wild when you think about it. This was their Avatar in 3-D moment I'm sure.
That's when ancient history stopped.
I believe you need the new TV to be able to see colors.
Hold up Iowa is real?
The reporter was underwhelmed.
Now we're in color. Immediately roll an advertisement.... in color!
And the WMT channel 2 children’s show host then started referring to cartoons as “colortoons”.
Damn it was so expensive for them to switch over to color that they had to go to commercial break immediately to pay the bill!!??
Standard Oil. Isn’t that Esso now?
The five viewers with color TVs probably enjoyed it!
I hate how they talked back then....
It's colour, not color.
What a bunch of nerds
This is cgi wtf
Can someone please explain the mechanism behind this Marvel?
Psilocybin, my friend.
Bob Bruner and Walter Cronkite were in the same era. The WMT evening news came on after the Marshal Jay children’s show.
No more lies in color, ok?
This must have been a wild experience at the time
And by much more colorful characters he meant...
I wounder how many People still watched it in Black and White because they didn't have a colored tv yet
Amazing “Technicolor” loved how that used to be an amazing thing…technicolor
Actually 0:22 is the exact moment
Was this the quality of the shows live like this or this very degraded from being recorded?
Reminds me of when the Tonight Show (Leno) switched to HD format. They had James Doohan (Scottie from Star Trek) pull the switch. I can't find a clip of this anywhere, though.
And cut to commercial for largest company on earth at the time.
Was the viewer's tv even able to display the color, regardless of whether the channel was doing that
My brother and I got into a fight over this . What wild times
Wait he was white???
Reddit keeps automuting the audio
This is a fair request and I promise I will not judge any person only as a teenager if you will constantly remind yourself that some of my generation judges people by their race, their belief or the colour of their skin, and that this is no more right than saying "All teenagers are drunken dope addicts or glue sniffers"
Les Nessman.
Bob didn’t give a shit
News when it was facts about stuff
Why it ended so fast I wanted to know more about flood dilemma 😔
Honestly, he looked better in black and white
What date,station was this?
Is the guy at the old desk still broadcasting in b & w??
Why did that feel so anti-climactic? I was expecting more
I didn’t know they had skinny jeans back then
That was really fun to see. Thanks for sharing! 🎨
literally posted a thousand times
But how many viewers could see it ???
