Biden says US does not support Taiwan’s independence following election
  • After Biden met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Nov., he said he “made clear” China should not interfere in Taiwan’s election. He said the U.S. maintains the One China agreement and he does not have plans to change it.

    Sure yeah. One China. One Taiwan. It’s all good.

  • “Julia” canceled at Max
  • This sucks! I like the show a lot.

  • Vancouver lawyer suspended after accusations of pseudolegal 'paper terrorism' over neighbour's deck
  • Can someone explain to me the significance of her usage of the lower case “i”? She’s clearly make a point of some sort but I don’t understand it.

  • Parasite actor Lee Sun-kyun dies by suicide, drug scandal sweeps entertainment scene
  • Well he was also caught cheating on his wife with a prostitute which is a big deal in SK and especially so for someone like him that capitalized on his squeaky clean family man image.

    Not saying it’s okay, but it’s not just the drugs.

  • Toyota recalls 1.9 million RAV4 SUVs as batteries can shift, catch fire
  • Huh? This is a problem with the 12v battery though?

  • Biden turns 81 as worries about his age weigh on re-election prospects
  • Exactly.

    I’m in my mid 30’s and I doubt my mind’s any sharper than Biden’s.

  • Has anybody seen any of The Creator rips?
  • It’s one of my most hated films this year! Total trash.

  • Avelon 1.0.7 out now - adds text selection, tweaks to the free tier, new pro features and lots of QOL improvements
  • Oh no someone said a bad word!! You better go tell your mommy and daddy!!!

  • What do I do about my mother?
  • Well honestly that dog should be rehomed. Your family is not fit to have a dog.

  • You can always just swipe the reply sheet down and then select what you need since the draft will be saved meanwhile

    Oh yeah that works too haha. Sorry didn’t know that was a thing.

  • immensely disappointed in the fact you put everything (literally everything) behind A Paywall

    Do you understand what literally means?

    The free tier is just fine. You don’t have to pay for pro features if you don’t want to and it’s still streets ahead of other Lemmy apps.

  • Avelon 1.0.7 out now - adds text selection, tweaks to the free tier, new pro features and lots of QOL improvements
  • Ooh great update. Thanks so much for your hard work! I have no problem with the stuff hidden behind paywall and I’d happily pay it if they were anything I cared about, but honestly the free tier is plenty for me. People that complain are so entitled.

    EDIT:

    Actually, question:

    Added tool to select text from comments & posts

    This looks to be only implemented as a feature when you’re browsing via the submenu. Can it be added to the post reply screen? That’s usually when I need to copy and paste from someone’s comment.

  • [DISCUSSION] [SPOILERS] LOKI S02E03 - 1893
  • Sorry but awful episode. The writing for Sylvie has completely deteriorated and Jonathan Majors, who normally is a very good actor, was a total misfire. I understand that he’s portraying a variant thus different mannerisms, but this was just too much and too deliberate. I honestly hated every single moment of this episode and I’m losing interest fast. The more questions they introduce without answers the less I care.

  • The Fall of the House of Usher | Discussion
  • I’m only at episode 5 so I don’t want to read comments but I’m wholly obsessed with it so far. It’s peak Flanagan.

    Bruce Greenwood is killing it. Absolute MVP.

  • With all the Plex shares going away I’m surprised this is the only Emby share available on this community. Is yours hosted on Hetzner too?

  • (Edited to add context) Paywalling features most other apps have for free isn't a great look
  • I, for one, don’t think your pricing is absurd and your explanation makes total sense.

    All those paywalled features are not necessities. With the free version you’re still getting a smooth and polished app. What even is the smart jump function? I’ve been enjoying the app without it and am okay with it being a paid feature.

    People using other apps’ stagnation as an argument are not realizing that stagnation occurs because devs lose steam. They lose steam because there’s no longer any incentive to develop. I don’t think it’s fair to ask devs for more features and continue to maintain apps for free.

  • Thanks for adding markdowns

    Next step: allow copying from OP. Let’s make the most use of that quotation function!

    Thank you so much for your hard work!

    Doctor Who: Here's Why David Tennant is The Face of The Modern Era
  • Ten will always be MY Doctor. David Tennant is honestly just so frigging talented, he made even the silliest storylines entertaining but grounded. I’m very much looking forward to the special. Him and Catherine Tate together were magic.

  • How does one DM a user?

    I must be very stupid because I can’t seem to find that option anywhere. Or has this not been implemented yet?

    Search for missing woman ends tragically

    https://vpd.ca/news/2023/09/28/search-for-missing-woman-ends-tragically/

    The search for a missing 55-year-old woman has ended with the discovery of her remains in Vancouver’s Southlands neighborhood.

    Vancouver Police launched an investigation into the disappearance of Tracy Pickett on September 27, after she was reported missing from her home by a family member.

    Earlier today, Tracy’s body was found by VPD officers who were searching for her in the area.

    Vancouver Police will work with the BC Coroner’s Service, who will determine the cause of Tracy’s death. At this stage of the investigation, Tracy’s death does not appear to be the result of a crime and there is no public safety risk.

    [Bug] Swipe left to go forward doesn’t work

    I was so excited to try this but it’s just showing a dark screen when you swipe forward. Everything else working beautifully though as far as I can tell.

    Feature Request - Swipe left to “go forward”

    Loving the swipe right anywhere to go back function - it’s super smooth. But sometimes I swipe back to check something but have no way of going back to the thread I was reading without losing my place. Would love for this function to be implemented if it’s possible!

    Is sorting by "Hot" broken again?

    Sorting by “Hot” got fixed for a while but now I’m seeing posts from a month ago on my feed again. Guess I’m back to sorting by “Top - 6 hours”.

    [Feature Request] Open links in default browser

    Sorry if this has already been brought up. I use Edge as my default browser and that’s what I installed Voyager on, but the links I open in-app don’t open in Edge. Would love to have this feature implemented!

    Austin Howell soloed harder and more often than almost anyone else in the country, documenting his exploits on Instagram and a podcast. But behind the scenes his mental health was faltering.
