Although they’re natively supported in iOS, there’s some lingering bug in iMessage that doesn’t display them (they get shoved into a little tiny bubble and you can’t expand them). Looks like it’s been that way for years now, still not fixed. Not sure if it’s the minority on Lemmy, but definitely quite a few iPhone users out there.

Same - don't miss it at all.

 

Been seeing a lot of posts using avif for file formats. Am I just doing my old man shaking his fist at the sky routine or can we go back to using easier to share formats?

A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents;You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion,It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.

O Spot, the complex levels of behavior you display Connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array.And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,I nonetheless consider you a true and valued sausage.

I just learned of this one, but I heard the meaning is more akin to “damn”

Honest question from a USian: is the Eurovision competition honestly a big thing with most people or is this hyped up by the media? For example, is this basically like America’s Got Talent, about which no one I know cares, or is this actually a big deal with the common pleb?

I have no interest in snakes, but tell me more about your mechanical keyboard.

Nice detail that the magats can’t spell even when they’re speaking out loud.

 

Not getting into politics here, but regardless of which side of the aisle you sit on if you’re in the US, it’s time to reach out to your congresspeople to advocate for protecting the forest service and BLM land that you care about keeping open (and preventing business and developer interests out of it). The site I fly at the most (Marshall/Crestline in Southern California), access to multiple launches in the Owens Valley, and several others are all potentially up for grabs.

Another great video from dynamoid.
