What's a melty cookie? Like temperature warm so the chocolate is melting?

This is a case of being the change you want to see in the world. The fediverse contains content you subscribe to or create. It's trivial to block content you don't want to see. It's still small enough that you can effect visible change on it. And if you're not seeing content you want to see, are able to post that content.

I think the reason it's so prevalent here in the US is because the vast majority of the population ended up here at least in part due to immigration. So identifying as ethnically originating from elsewhere is a part of that self identity.

The disparity however, is knowing that while traveling through Europe, this style of self identification falls flat because simply being ethnically from a place doesn't mean you can claim to be born and raised from there. And that meaning is what's different between the US and Europe.

Having used their software in the past, I'm personally quite uncomfortable with this technology being used to monitor American citizens.

YouTube has a subscriptions feed that shows videos only from channels you follow.

I've found that turning the watch history off results in more accurate and relevant recommended videos from videos you watch from your subscribed channels.

When the recommended videos suddenly go off kilter, it's telling that the video you're watching is somehow related to the weird side of YouTube.

4, 5, 9.

4 because while the process might be painful, aside from the process it's not an extreme change. And because I needed to pick 3 and only 3 options.

5 because that super strength would certainly come in handy if it's controllable. It would suck if everything gets absolutely crushed by accident the moment you attempt to interact with it.

9 because why the hell not. You can't be happy all the time, and the rest of the options seem to be a net negative. So at least being able to live comfortably or account for #5 would be okay

Yes, toggling that setting off and restarting the application did not change the appearance and behavior. The android nav buttons still overlap the application's menu buttons

 

This isn't really a bug, moreso just a compatibility issue with Android 15. Wasn't a problem with 14.

This one wins, thread closed

 

Going to a user profile and selecting the add note option does nothing.

 

If I'm not mistaken, in previous versions tapping the home button while already on the home screen would return to the top of the page and refresh. Version 1.0.198 does not do this

On January 2, 2024, we launched to orbit our first six Starlink satellites with Direct to Cell capabilities. Launch and early tests of the technology were all completed without issue. On Monday, January 8, less than 6 days after launch, we sent and received our first text messages to and from unmodified cell phones on the ground to our new satellites in space using TMobile network spectrum. This validates that our link budget closes, and the system works!

I'm excited for this service as it'll be the most tangible rollout of new technology enabled by SpaceX's rapid launch approach to satellite mega-constellations to most people.

 

Scrolling to the top of a new post screen erased any post body you may have typed if you scroll back down. This only happens if you happen to have a tall image that you've uploaded to post. Normally the entire page displays without scrolling, which is why it may have gone unnoticed.

 

I was looking at the thread for Sync because I was wondering how the same issue might be handled in Connect. Seems like it has the same issue. RIF handled this by having a view more button that displayed child comments in a separate view once the nested levels hit a certain threshold so they weren't smushed against the edge of the screen.

 

Currently, Connect will ask if you'd like to open a clicked URL. You only have yes or no options.

Adding a copy URL button would prevent having to view the page in order to access the copy URL option from there.

Adding the standard share button isn't as useful to me since I'm only trying to share URLs to friends. But I noticed the lack of this when I'd backed out of a page and figured I'd share it. But ended up having to view it again just to do so.
