Watching a rocket launch or waiting for that launch window while at the beach is SO Florida! The best views to watch one lift off is along the beach.

Ft. Pierce looks like favorite for Brightline's Treasure Coast stop
So much for the conspiracy theory that Brightline never planned to build a Treasure Coast station. So which city will win the bidding process?

The Miami to Orlando service has just started and currently there is only one terminal (West Palm Beach) between those cities. There's bound to be greater utilization when additional stops are constructed. I heard on a TV news report that they were operating at 75% capacity (I was surprised at the number).
New Brightline schedule has 30 trains passing through Treasure Coast.
Brightline expedited the addition of 10 more trains — five each way — between Miami and Orlando. When will company ramp up to the maximum 32 trains?
Breeze Airlines schedule through end of the year
With the addition of Islip, New York, Breeze Airways will have four destinations from Vero Beach Regional Airport.

Congratulations Ruben for the release of Boost for Lemmy v1.0. Your hard work is appreciated!
I went back and selected 'default' icon in the settings and the duplicate one was removed.
Looks great. Suggest that the backup file have a unique name so it is not confused with the Boost for Reddit backup.

New COVID-19 stats from CDC just defy belief

Treasure Coast Covid Cases on Increase
Since the national emergency ended, the Treasure Coast has had over 3,200 new cases — almost double those recorded in March, April and May combined.
Lindsey Leake, Treasure Coast Newspapers
If it’s been a while since you last wore a mask in public or consciously stood 6 feet apart from others, you’re not alone. But just because the federal COVID-19 Public Health Emergency ended three months ago doesn’t mean infections have subsided.
The Treasure Coast’s eighth wave of coronavirus infections, which began in May, continued to rise in June and July, according to a TCPalm analysis of Florida Department of Health data. So did the state’s 10th wave.
Since the national emergency ended May 11, Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River counties collectively have had over 3,200 new cases — almost double those recorded in March, April and May combined. Local hospitals have seen weekly influxes of infected patients, and nearly 30% of Treasure Coast residents remain unvaccinated.
However, this latest surge pales in comparison to those of the last three summers. In 2021, for example, during the height of the delta variant, over 27,100 locals became infected from June through August.
The region’s ongoing eighth wave is “due to summer travel, crowded airports and cruises, and confirmed by wastewater sampling around the nation,” said Dr. Lyssette Cardona, chair of Cleveland Clinic Martin Health’s infectious diseases department. “This is a reflection that this virus is endemic,” meaning it’s a constant presence in the community.
Cases may continue to rise in the coming weeks, Cardona said, as students settle into the new school year, some people continue their travels and flu season begins. She’s optimistic an updated fall booster shot may help stave off a winter wave.
While a new omicron subvariant — formally named EG.5 and unofficially dubbed “eris” — accounts for the plurality of new cases nationwide, Cardona has not seen it correlate to more severe infections, she said. The World Health Organization on Aug. 9 classified EG.5 a “variant of interest.”

July cases (difference from June)

This also happened to me. I believe it was after a system update. Hasn't occurred again.

I agree that the ability to search within communities is necessary.

Thanks for posting this. It's important that Florida voters be made aware of this action that may affect their ability to vote!
Revert to v6.2.19 and disable auto update - still works great on Android 13/One UI 5.1.
Welcome back!
I hope everyone made it back to the community after the lemmy.world hack. I had to clear the app (Liftoff) cache and log back in. Everything else looks good.
I agree with cleaning up the navigation bar and fab '+'. Perhaps incorporate the + symbol into the nav bar or just make it less obtrusive. Also would like to see an option to hide the navigation bar when scrolling. Keep up the good work!
It seems to be more reliable today. I was evaluating several other Android apps, but Jerboa has moved into top position.
I thought I understood 'federation' - Help please
I created a community, Treasure Coast, Florida (!treasurecoastfl), on lemmy.world. I thought that users on other instances could find, read, and join. However, it never appears in search results initiated from other instances. Please explain.
Agreed. I would like to increase the font size for the posts. I would also prefer a a Header and Title font that wasn't quite so bold.
I didn't see my reply so I'll try again: Hi - thanks for subbing!
