Consider they’re a 30+ mile, hour+ drive away, this is giving me even less of a reason to go, and I happen to like Ikea. But free coffee isn’t going to remotely make up for my gas mileage, so I guess I’ll continue to shift my furniture needs elsewhere. =/
It’s really wild that they straight up nuked CS:GO for this and it both performs worse on higher end machines (reports of stuttering when ragdolls activate or shaders load in are rampant) AND it’s missing the casual war games modes like Arms Race.
It’s definitely both. A lot of folks don’t understand that insects and shellfish are similar, and I’ve yet to see “product may contain insect meal / aggravate shellfish allergies” on things that have crickets or are processed in facilities that handle insect meal. So, the FDA likely needs to catch up. But, it’s also a cheap filler protein that’s easily grown, and companies are cheap bastards, so it’s going to slowly find its way in and push out more expensive protein options.
I do sincerely worry about insects being added as filler materials as time goes on. I have a shellfish allergy, and the same allergens that exist in the shells of shellfish also exist in most insects.
💯 this. Pocketcasts is and has been outstanding for the years I’ve had it. Great UI, and will remember your position on a specific episode cross-platform.
Came here to post this, Mint just got purchased by T-Mobile.
Everyone who cares about their instance and the fediverse as a whole needs to defederate and block their instances as soon as they pop up.
It’s worse than that, because the official app spams your phone with tracking requests. I know most apps do some tracking, but users with apps that track the trackers have reported as many as 500k requests in 24 hours.
This is not only an invasive breach of privacy from a link aggregator forum, but also straight up murders your battery life.
I just got a brand new Pixel 7a before this nonsense started. I installed the reddit app because Baconreader is like twelve years old and I’d figured I’d see if their official app had gotten any better since I last used it. It hadn’t, of course, but I also noticed my brand new phone wasn’t holding a charge at all. Like, 20% battery left at 5pm while I’m still at work and barely using it.
Reddit was using over 40% of my battery while fucking IDLE. I brought this up over there and a few other people looked at it. Someone reported it was using 60% of their iPhone’s battery in the last week. It’s repugnant.
The latter exactly. Because Spez and Reddit as a whole have refused to take action on them for literal years, they built up a critical mass, and were able to both plan a migration and do so successfully.
Oh interesting, it’s not showing as a link for me. I’ve edited. Thanks for the heads up!
Because it, as a massive problem instance for the alt-right to congregate, was allowed to build up and do whatever it wanted unfettered, once they did action it it was far too late. They immediately moved offsite to thedonald.win, and continued their actions there. It allowed them to conglomerate, coordinate, and show each other that there was enough of them to try and pull off heinous shit.
Jan 6th literally was planned and executed on thedonald, which only got to the critical mass it did because reddit refused to handle it.
It’s possible your space isn’t federated with those communities yet? You might need to start the link with searching for them using the !instance@web.site command to force your instance to download their pages first.
Yes. Many of them. I use Baconreader which predates the official Reddit App by like four years.
Does he have a disease that forces him to lie at every opportunity?
Oh neat! Yeah I agree.
When my Pixel 4a was on its way out, I was seriously tempted to get a Galaxy Flip4 because there’s someone who made a case turning it into a tricorder.
I’ve always been enamored with flip phones because they’re the closest thing we have to a Star Trek communicator, but the current gen of foldable screens are a nightmare.
That couldn’t be further from the truth.
Considering you used “woke” as a pejorative earlier and now you’re ranting about conspiracies involving Paramount (why would Paramount sanction a move to the fediverse where they can’t show ads?) and supporting a sub that was about supporting anti-mask/anti-vaxx nonsense during the beginning of a global pandemic that’s killed ~7 million people since 2020, I really am not even interested in furthering this discussion with you. LLAP 🖖
You could always criticize them, you just couldn’t be lazy about your criticism.
I’ve many times talked about the inconsistency in character development, the trend to “give backstory and then kill a character,” and the absolutely nauseating camera movement (especially in the early seasons) of Discovery, for example. Never even got a warning, nor my posts removed.
There was a major thread like a year back talking about how in Disco, the actors don’t actually move about a scene when they do things. The movement is from room to room, and then they are stuck in place as they talk and it really throws you out of it.
Edit: In fact, there’s literally a post critiquing season 4 of Discovery right now on their front page with healthy discussion in the comments.
All of these were allowed before and still.
It should be regulated.
