    I once rolled my ankle but in the most perfect way in which instead of pain, it was the most pleasurable “bone popping” I’ve ever had in my life. All those tiny ankle bone just popped like satisfying bubble wrap that you just grabbed and popped a bunch, it was so satisfying I was dazed for like a solid minute or 2.

    I have spent 15 years trying to do it again to no success :(














  • Doubtful, the “Exclude from taste profile” thing is actually rather new, it wasn’t there before because I’ve looked for something like it before.

    I have a playlist dedicated to archiving the “Discover Weekly” for when I get around to it and it always screwed with the “taste profile” until recently when I noticed there was now that exclude option. Though I don’t know when it actually rolled out lol




  • Yea, I never said they didn’t, and I’m generally a proponent of separating art from the artist.

    However, by conflating their official work and furthering their personal politics through the moderation of the lemmy.ml instance (which, whether they like it or not, IS seen as the “dev” or “flagship” or “official” instance) It’s not currently feasible to actually donate money while maintaining “separation of art and artist”

    If they turned over admin duties of .ml to a new, as unbiased and fair as possible, admin team nearly all the friction for almost everyone to donating would evaporate.

    As someone in another thread put it “Devs should do dev work and not mod work, admins should do mod work and not dev work”






  • This really isn’t about what they believe in, but their activities to push it on everyone else. This isn’t a case of someone discovering dessalines separately maintained personal politics blog or something, in that sort of scenario, I wouldn’t have a problem with it.

    The problem stems from how they continue to manage the “flagship” instance. They can say it’s not or that it’s “just a test server” or that it’s just randomly recommended like any other instance, but that does not change what people see it as especially since they run official development comms and official support comms from it.

    I’ve seen it before: “I went to check out Lemmy and went on the official developer instance lemmy.ml but it seemed to just be a bunch of tankies so I left”


  • Or alternatively, they could stop doing what they’re doing with .ml and loads more people, including myself, would probably start donating towards development

    understand that means that the devs might have to move on from Lemmy development and prioritize other work.

    Oh I do, the way I see it there are 4 paths

    1. they eek out just enough donations despite their constant merging of personal politics and their work and nothing changes

    2. They turn over .ml to a less biased admin team that will actually keep things fair and deal with the propaganda /misinfo (Unlikely)

    3. Lemmy development stops, and a new team without all the baggage takes over on a fork

    4. Lemmy development stops and PieFed or other alternative fills the gap

    RN they’re asking for donations, but refusing to deal with the root issue directly leading to such low donations.




  • I haven’t bought an EV yet myself because I’m not buying a new car until my current one kicks the bucket, but don’t they have that “quick charge” feature similar to phones where if the battery is low it can get to “good enough to get you to work and back” in like 5 minutes?

    I just can’t wait to not have to worry about oil changes or “odd engine sounds” anymore lol










  • Essentially now app devs/companies can have a pop-up for in-app purchases that directs a user to their own payment processors/portals where they don’t have to pay the “Apple tax” and they’ll be able to inform their users as such and even offer their payment method cheaper and/or you get more

    Before this ruling, a previous ruling against Apple forbade them from forbidding third-party payment processing in the apps at all as they had since the App stores inception. So Apple followed the exact letter of the order and still “collected” the “Apple Tax” and set rules on the message the pop-up could have.

    Now this ruling nixed their “work around”, and I’d say the judge is rather pissed, hence the “effective immediately”
