Thanks! I just sent you a tip as a thank you! Keep up the great work!

I’m actually wondering now if the fix has not been deployed but has been added for an upcoming release? My app still has the issue… anyone else know?

Looks like this was the issue and a fix has just been deployed. Fast work!

Yeah that might be it I guess. Lemmy.ml is the OG instance that the devs of Lemmy maintain though right? I guess they may have pushed a recent update that other instances don’t have which could have caused the issue? @dessalines@lemmy.ml any idea if this could be the case?

Definitely read this title and thought “Oh great some positive climate change news” assuming they meant ‘plays’ as in ‘potential courses of action’, but upon clicking the article I realized they meant ‘plays’ as in live theater productions…

As a ‘front page of the internet’ it has been a pretty great replacement for me as it’s where I go each day to just see what’s going on. However, due to the smaller size you do lose a lot of the activity in more niche communities and the sheer volume of posts/comments compared to Reddit. That’s the biggest downside. Still, you also lose the incessant ads/bad UI/UX decisions and ever accelerating late stage capitalism driven enshittification so that’s a big plus.

I think the point about the 3 year upgrade cycle being optimal unless you are a real enthusiast is right on the money. I’d say I’m moderately interested in tech improvements in this space and it seems ideal for me as I will be considering an upgrade from an iPhone 13 Pro (likely informed by how gimmicky or actually useful the Apple Intelligence stuff becomes and if I can offload my ChatGPT Pro subscription). If you’re really not a huge phone tech person or looking for the best camera quality then every 4 years is probably completely reasonable as well. At that point, the battery life is probably starting to suffer as well…

Can you clarify what the problem is that this solves? Your charging cable wiggles too much when it is plugged into the top? If so, I don’t appear to have that issue at least that I’ve noticed.

What a well-timed and interesting video. I just saw my doctor earlier today and we discussed medications to address my anxiety which appears to be exacerbated or induced by ADHD. He told me about the difficulties getting stimulant drugs and ended up prescribing bupropion (Wellbutrin) instead partly due to this issue. He did not make any mention of the role that the DEA or the profiteering of drug companies has apparently played in this situation.

Tend to start with top (day) for my subs and then switch to scaled once I get down to posts that are below 100 upvotes or so to see more posts from smaller communities that can’t make that ‘top’ cut.

Furiously hammers X to doubt

Yeah didn’t even think about the drop through trucks. I feel like they are a lot nicer because you ride much closer to the ground. Feels smoother and easier to push long distances with the lower center of gravity. From what I recall, longboards use a reverse kingpin set up compared to the normal kingpin trucks on short boards and that makes them feel looser and more surfy as well but just be aware it is going to feel quite a bit different to a short board. You won’t find yourself having to pivot the board around nearly as much which is nice.

I have been into longboarding off and on for the past few years and I have loved my Maestro Pro from Bustin. I don’t do any dance or tricks, just commuting and cruising. Honestly, I feel like you don’t necessarily even need a symmetrical board if you’re not into tricks though but this one would be a good option if you do want one. If you’re on the fence sign up for their newsletter and wait for a sale. They also make these cool hybrid boards which are pushable but also have electric assist but they’re a bit too pricey for me.

This kind of technocratic approach can sound great and it’s always good to have policy and positions formed by those most knowledgeable in the relevant field. The problem is that the “experts” that will likely have her ear will be the ones that are vetted and approved by the power elite, the wealthiest in this country who will largely recommend what is best to protect their privilege, wealth and position.

Agreed, but it’s not gonna happen. Too far left, two demonized by the right and I don’t think they want two women on the ticket. It’s 2024 and sad to say it will still be hard enough to overcome sexism for many voters just for Harris.

Not exactly what I was thinking of but still worth a sub!

TBH This might be a good enough idea to merit a whole community of people just posting singular cool screenshots of games they are playing. Could be a cool low-effort visual way to document what folks are into at the moment. Kind of like a visual version of those ‘what are you playing’ weekly threads that used to be everywhere.

This is the kind of news that should actually be posted on all of the ‘uplifting news’ communities, instead of ‘teen works 600 hours for minimum wage to help pay for his mother’s dialysis’ or whatever…

Been having fun and happy to see a gameplay balance patch so soon. That said, the technical side of this game is what really needs work and according to everything I’ve been seeing from Digital Foundry and others there’s some serious low hanging fruit that could improve the frame rate and pacing that is still pretty poor on all systems. Hopefully they bring some attention to that side of things soon. Game is certainly playable in the current state in my opinion but would be much more enjoyable if it actually stuck to something close to 60 FPS in most situations on XSX/PS5.
