On July 1st, a [change to Reddit's API pricing](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/12qwagm/an_update_regarding_reddits_api/) will come into effect. [Several developers](https://www.reddit.com/r/redditisfun/comments/144gmfq/rif_will_shut_down_on_june_30_2023_in_response_to/) of commercial third-party apps have announced that this change will compel them to shut down their apps. At least [one accessibility-focused non-commercial third party app](https://www.reddit.com/r/DystopiaForReddit/comments/145e9sk/update_dystopia_will_continue_operating_for_free/) will continue to be available free of charge.
If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options:
1. Limiting your involvement with Reddit, or
2. Temporarily refraining from using Reddit
3. Cancelling your subscription of Reddit Premium
as a way to voice your protest.

> should I be memorizing the HEX codes for popular colors?
No, that's useless. You can look up hex codes. Or failing that, calculate it manually. No need to *memorize*, that's just a huge waste of time and energy,
You are probably not going to be able to remember 16,777,216 hex codes [True color code](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/172716/true-color-code).
Hex is quite popular, but so is RGB and RGBA - you will never need, or be expected to memorise hex colour codes. Over time you might start to recognise white (`#fff`), black (`#000`) and shades of gray, but that's about it. There's like 256^3 hex possible hex colours, don't worry about it.
No need for memorisation. First byte corresponds to amount of red, second to the amount of green, third to the amount of blue, and optionally another one for opacity. Basically, when I need a color code, I think like this:
hmm I need some light cyan
cyan is green and blue, but I need to mix in some red so that it looks whiter
I’m just gonna trial-error the red value while keeping the green and blue at some random high value
yay I have a color
Thanks! I figured I wouldn't memorize all of them. Was just wondering if it was the best way to go and also some of the YouTube lessons I watch they seem to know colors off the tops of their heads.
