The older boys are often the most cuddly. I have an 18-year old orange boy and all he wants is contact. It’s lovely.

That is fucking hilarious. What a child.

The feature I miss most is the ability to get back to my All feed without losing scroll position after an accidental swipe takes me back to the Feeds list. The only way i know to get back is to select All again, which resets scroll position to the top. Very annoying to try to find my way back to the post I was on.

I believe Apollo had a feature allowing for a swipe right on the bottom button bar to return to the feed without losing position. That’s the only thing missing from my experience.

That’s a great article, tanks for posting.

Cory has a way for getting right to the heart of things, and does so marvellously here. Great explanation of why the investments continue despite the dogshit economics of this industry.

Every headache you run into will build a few more skills as you fix it, but if you are like me, you won’t run into many more than you already have. I dropped windows for good over a year ago and changed distorts a few times but never looked back.

Thanks for sharing your experience!

From the article:

“I do remember some discussion about whether we should include it, and some snarky laughter. But it was not intended as a joke. It was not inspired by any hot dog stands, and it was not included as an example of a bad interface—although it was one. It was just a garish choice, in case somebody out there liked ugly bright red and yellow.”

This is such bullshit. Pointless manipulation of product offerings to hide the true cost, and thereby manipulate prices. I’ve been doing paper towel math like this for years and it drives me nuts. Grocery stores’ profit model is now almost entirely based on price manipulation and nothing else.

LCD Soundsystem - Daft Punk is Playing At My House

The Walkmen - We’ve Been Had

I wish I played the drums so I could play along with these. Enjoy!

This is 100% the plan. It’s a ‘when’ at this point, not an ‘if’, despite the extraordinary restraint displayed when dealing with these fuckwits to date.

[–] paddythegeek@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 months ago

Cool. Thanks for the explanation.

[–] paddythegeek@lemmy.ca 15 points 3 months ago (2 children)

This is pretty cool!

Forgive my ignorance, but what/how would you use it to broadcast?
