overview for Travalanche

Had a friend who's dad sold hacked cable boxes. We watched so much HBO and Cinemax there. I'm not even sure how many times we watched Boogie Nights when it came out. That friend also introduced me to Fallout and LAN parties. Good times.

How do you strike a balance between being present in the moment and planning for the future? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Thanks to my crippling ADHD, I'm completely the opposite of that, and still manage to fuck up my budget.

Dear Lemmy, **why** Star Trek?? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Eh, more like Trekkies are techies. I would consider myself somewhat of a techie, definitely nerdy, and very much into sci-fi, but I really don't give a shit about Star Trek. I've seen a lot of it, just because I've had a couple girlfriends that really enjoyed it, but otherwise I probably wouldn't have watched any after my childhood.
Now, if HBO were to do a hard R version, I'd probably get into it.

What's the deal with buying single cans out of a multipack at a bottle shop? (Australia) in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Dude. This is 2023. I'm sure they've already got a translator app that flips the words for them.

Getting API error: temporarily_disabled whenever I try to view comments. (lemmy.world)

I haven't been able to find any information about this error anywhere, so I'm hoping to find some help here.

I'm using version .150
The problem persists after a phone restart.
I haven't tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but that's what I'm going to try now.

*UPDATE: Nope, that didn't work.

*UPDATE #2: I got frustrated with this issue and decided to install another app instead of waiting for someone to come along with the magic answer. Welp, the issue followed me to the Thunder app. This leads me to believe that it's either an issue with my phone (possible, but I haven't changed anything on it, either shortly before, or since this problem started) or an issue with Lemmy itself (of which I know absolutely nothing about how it works internally).
I did, however, see a big block of code pop up a couple times when Connect was trying and failing to load the comments, but both times it disappeared as soon as I touched the screen. I'm not a programmer, by any stretch if the imagination, so I didn't notice if it looked weird or anything (other than appearing where it shouldn't). I'll keep poking at Connect and Thunder to see if I can get it to do it again so I can try to grab a screenshot.

UPDATE #3: I was able to get the block of code to pop up again. This time it stuck around and, even though it wouldn't let me select and copy the text, let me take pictures. It's a pretty long chunk of (what I'm guessing is) HTML, which starts with "Error: < ! DOCTYPE html >"(minus some spaces) I took screenshots of the whole thing, but it's like 60 screens long so, I can edit the pics into one and post it if that helps, but it will take me a while.

UPDATE 4: This only seems to happen when I'm logged in. If I'm logged out while using the apps, I can still see the comments.

Is there an adapter or any other way to connect a USB headset to the controller? (lemmy.world)

My 3.5mm headset died. I have a nice USB-A gaming headset, but I haven't been able to find any way to connect it to the controller. Do any of you know of a way to do this?

Children's opthalmologist? (lemmy.world)

My son has some vision issues that I think should be checked out. Do any of you have a recommendation for a pediatric opthalmologist by chance?
