Y'know, if they had walked everything back - or even just reduced API costs - right away, no one would have left. Now their top content creators have left, and nothing they do will repair the damage.
Came to the comments to say the same thing. Cool collection, but invest a few bucks on some cable ties my dude.
And this is why the Empire is destined to fall. The economy is in shambles!
I just purchased a new phone and I'm kicking myself now. I've wanted to support Fairphone for a while, but I just can't justify another phone purchase.
I think you could say the same for a lot of countries. Even the ones that seem to know what they're doing make braindead decisions sometimes.
I was a little confused since I'm from America and am used to all utilities being privately owned, so I did some research. It does look like Japan's government owns a majority stake in the company, specifically because of this disaster. The private stakeholders are still there but own minority stakes. So yeah, the government of Japan dropped the ball here. It's strange that I read the linked article and they never mentioned the government once.
Yeah, sucks to have two in a row. I think the likelihood is a little low that I "won" the lottery twice. But statistics are weird. Either way, replaced it with a Fold 4 and love the new device.
I don't think this is the forum to have this conversation, and anything I say will just prompt you to personally attack me. I think you should open your mind to other points of view and think critically.
Have a good day, and be well.
Jesus, dude. Chill a bit. They were kids who were sold a bill of goods. Some of them legitimately believed they were doing something good and noble when they enlisted, and the people in power abused that ideology. It's not the veteran's fault. Hold people in power responsible, not the people who trusted them.
Edit: there's no sense in arguing with you on this. I just saw your other comments, seems like you've got zero empathy. Wish you the best, champ. Hope you find some compassion in your life.
I love not having an algorithm in Lemmy
It's amazing seeing content I would have never seen otherwise. I really hope we stay away from any suggestion algorithms.
Ah, that's fair. Best of luck either way. This is the tough part of admin work. FWIW, the stability we've had thus far has been pretty impressive!
Sweet! I guess I overlooked that item. Thanks for pointing it out!
NSFW communities aren't showing posts
I'm not sure if it's a setting that I've screwed up or something, but when I go into a pretty active NSFW community I see zero posts. Regardless of the sort or filters, nothing loads. Is this a bug or feature?
For what it's worth, the posts load on my subscriptions just fine. It's only when I navigate to the community where it's an issue.
Quirks with "Open in browser"
I love the app, first and foremost. It's hands-down the best way to view Lemmy posts, and it feels amazing to scroll and interact with.
When I click a link that opens in a browser, though, it opens without any frame around it and can't open into any third party apps. I know it may not impact everyone, but for me this is pretty difficult to get around. Some use cases:
- I clicked the link to view Liftoff! in the Play Store, and I couldn't click to actually download the app. Sure, I already have this installed, but it could happen for other apps.
- I was reading an article that I wanted to share externally, but the menu for my browser wasn't available to share that content.
- I clicked a YouTube video and wanted to watch it in the official app instead of the browser. There was no way to open the link in another app.
Again, loving the app but this would make it so much cooler!
God, the Pixel 6 might be the worst phone I've ever owned
It's me again, hi all.
I received my replacement phone, and it's been nothing but issues since. Android System Intelligence has crashed multiple times, and Bluetooth keeps disabling itself for no discernable reason. I've tried everything short of factory reset (because I'm on a work trip and can't risk losing my MFA apps).
I regret ever purchasing a Google product at this point. Buyer beware.
Also: Google, if you're reading this, do better. I know you won't, though.
My last Pixel
I think I've decided that the Pixel 6 will be my last Google device I own. It's a tough decision considering I've owned exclusively Google phones since the Galaxy Nexus. Unfortunately, the past two Pixels I've owned (Pixel 3 and Pixel 6) have had extreme battery issues, with the Pixel 3 becoming a spicy pillow a year after purchasing. I had to have that phone repaired twice through Google's service centers, and now my Pixel 6 is having random moments of reaching 45°c. It randomly powers down, is unable to connect to cell service, and was so hot to the touch last night on a simple phone call that I was concerned to even touch it.
Google's customer service team promised a replacement, but I just looked at their tracking system and the addresses are reversed. I've spent nearly two hours in chat trying to work through this.
The kicker? They just asked me to join the Pixel Superfan club and accepted my application. Yeah, not sure I'm an advocate at this point.
DMing Curse of Strahd
This post is kind of spoiler-y. You've been warned. I also can't figure out spoiler tags on Jerboa (if you know, please help!).
We've had a blast running through the campaign. Starting in Krezk, the first experience our party had took them to the winery. Sure, that's normal enough. The Martikovs are a weird bunch, but we're helping get wine for the village. Then, the Abbott. Oh god, I've had so much fun with the Abbott ever since. They decided to use Ezmerelda's plan for the most part, only they're taking the bride to Strahd as part of the dinner.
Along the way, they've made a number of allies. Rictavio, Urwin, and of course Ezmerelda. It's a small army going to Ravenloft. The showdown is going to be epic, and my players have no idea the danger in store for them at the castle.
TIFU by not securing my headphones
Technically this happened yesterday, but I'm still pretty mad at myself.
I've been riding my ebike pretty frequently to and from work. It's a short trip and basically the same amount of time as a car would take, so it just makes sense. My bike also has a cupholder, and I've been placing my keys in there to avoid being stabbed by them.
Yesterday, I had the brilliant idea of putting my headphones in there. I was trying to reduce clutter in my pockets and make it easier to peddle. Well, I hit a few bumps that were a little larger than usual, and with the traffic and trying to keep my head on a swivel I didn't notice my headphones bounce out of the cupholder.
I made it all the way home only to discover my massive error. Rip the $200 to replace those...
