Try just joining a local domain which is ostensibly apolitical, then find communities that meet your needs

Which one are you using? I was looking at ironfox

I still find it interesting that the Vanadium browser in Grapheneos is Chromium based, with no possibility of extensions. I know this is for security reasons but it feels odd to still use chrome on my phone and Firefox everywhere else.

Ah yes sorry, in my haste to post I didn't think fully about that. I'll edit to add.

I read a really interesting comic about this industry, about a "school" called Elan. if you've not come across it it's linked here but trigger warning, it is no holds barred brutal with abuse themes out of the gate

Edit: added trigger warning and spoiler, thanks @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world

That's the one I meant, yes

I switched to thunder from connect recently and had the same question. As it happened I was in GitHub for something else and looked it up, it's a known issue because instances don't have picture height as part of their meta information so the only way to find out how big an image is would be to load it. Something to do with the way thunder is designed precludes this.

Next Lemmy version gets around this issue, once the instances start switching to it.

I thought ages ago about a passive technology to use solar power to capture carbon dioxide and turn it into solid form.

I realised that I was trying to invent trees.

What happened to hexbear? I mean, I blocked the whole instance so I didn't have to read their crap any more, but did it disappear?

[–] TIN@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago

Thanks, I didn't think about this and was about to report something which, lo-and-behold, has a bug report already.

[–] TIN@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago

Amazing, thanks!

That's just taking the pith

 

This just started happening today so probably something I've changed in the settings but I don't know what. Whenever I take a "back" action, the phone keyboard pops up. This is true if I swipe on my phone (system default action), or press back in the top left of the screen.

I've tried toggling the swipe to go back in the settings but it doesn't seem to impact this one.

Any ideas gratefully received, it's quite annoying

 

Is this NSFW? It feels like this might be NSFW.

 

Well okay then

 

Misaligned jump off a cliff in my explorer. Can't drive it out, guess I'll be falling!

 

From a live Renault app, I'm always amazed the car companies' apps are so bad, it's not like they're short of a bob or two to spend on getting it right.

 

I know this community is not strongly in use but... I find the linked letter to be helpful to me when times out in the world get difficult. It's odd, because the message is quite religious and I'm staunchly agnostic.

Yet, I urge you, ask you, gentle you, to please not spend your spirit dry by bewailing these difficult times. Especially do not lose hope.

It always works for me, hopefully it might work for someone else out there.

 

How low on avocado do you need to be to not be allowed to say that it's guac? 3.5% will certainly do it.

 

I'm not 5G enabled yet so theoretically 4G+ should be my fastest connection speed. However, on O2 I find that it's effectively the same as having no connection at all, and often end up shifting down to 3G just to get some connection.

This can't be right, I feel like I've forgotten a setting or something! Has anyone managed to figure it out, or maybe first does anyone else have the same issue?

 

Having trouble phrasing this, so in case it's not clear I'm not looking for casual misogyny thanks

Having a debate with a friend about whether men shopping with women can be fun and I'm wondering how coloured my view of this is by me and my ex.

I'd love to hear what makes a great shopping experience for you with your friends or significant others!

 

I was driving round the M25 and there was an accident in front of me, I could still get round so I slowed down, put hazards on but drove past and carried on my way.

What's the actual protocol in those situations? I could see all the airbags were deployed, there's nothing I could do for the people inside and for sure getting out on a motorway is a bad idea.

But I feel like I should have done something different. Can anyone with knowledge enlighten me?

My son asked me if I would play league of legends with him, so tried it for the first time. So much going on!

Firstly, how does anyone zero in on what hero they want to play, there are so many of them! I feel like it would take a year just to play enough to decide.

Secondly, the purchase UI seems to have been designed to ensure that a new player can never understand it. I'm sure like all things it becomes clear over time but jeez, did a professional team really work on that thing?

Anyway, 2 defeats from 2 games so far, I write to you from the lobby waiting for the third!
