When asked to make a birthday wish on stage during a live performance he joked “Don’t miss trump next time”. Because of the comedic nature of the show and the political right’s famously thick skin (compared to the snowflakes on the left) the joke was taken in good stride and nothing else of note happened.

Of course that’s bullshit. Right leaning news-entertainment media lost their collective minds that someone would dare say something so heartless about a poor disenfranchised millionaire manchild. And (I’m severely paraphrasing here) that instead of making terrible remarks about the lord and saviour/second coming of Jesus you should save the hateful rhetoric for minorities and the chosen hated religious groups.

My understanding is that Kyle essentially lost his career over the remark (cancel culture’s out of control!!) and Jack Black distanced himself from Kyle and they cancelled the rest of their tour.

I’ve seen how the public system can work when it’s working well and I’ve read plenty of terrifying stories from USA from both “successful” and failed private health visits to know that our public system is a treasure that we should try our damndest to protect.

It’s part of why I’ve copped the Medicare charge instead of getting private health when I turned 30. I would rather pay a little more for a decent health system than pay a lot more for a shit one.

Cape Coral will certainly be living up to its name.

But then how would the established aristocracy elevate themselves above the common rabble to justify a company position that already has their name on it thanks to nepotism? Surely those poor nepobabies won’t have to compete with The Poors in the future! How unjust!

Considering they referred to it as “an Xbox” instead of a specific generation I’m going to assume they weren’t around when the first Xbox was still a thing so they’re probably new to this.

Technology connections did a video on it. Basically the lights which lasted forever either; sucked at giving light and/or sucked at sucking power.

Light manufacturers got together and made a standard which was a sweet spot of power efficiency, longevity and light output. Unfortunately, being decent at all three meant no longer sucking at two to boost longevity.

I’m currently going through a pretty bad divorce where my wife cheated on me, drained my accounts, lawyered up and send a letter demanding $280,000 and isn’t signing documents or responding to her legal council.

I’d love to get it all finalised and end that chapter of my life but realistically I can’t force her to do anything. I can’t make her sign documents, I can’t make her talk to her lawyer. So ultimately it is what it is.

Frankly, that saying has (since our separation) become an anthem to me. I can understand why you’d think it’s defeatism etc if it’s someone speaking of something they can legitimately do something about but truely sometimes it really is what it is.

 
 

I know when things first kicked off we would get server updates semi-regularly such as finances and server load. I can’t say I’ve seen one for a while, just wondering how things are going?

 

Looks like cycle count, manufacture date and first use date are all new. I wonder if the information will be accurate for aftermarket batteries?

 

I have accounts on two instances and couldn’t figure out why the feed was semi-broken and running out of posts on one. Since then the second instance posted about updating to 19.0 from 18.5, after the update I’m having the same issues as I did with the first server. I’m assuming they made the shift to 19.0 earlier. Seems to work in the respective PWA’s, but not in Mlem.

I’ve logged out and back in with the first affected account without any change and cleared the app cache.

Mlem V1.1.1 iPhone 15PM iOS 17.2

 

I recently updated to a 15PM from a 12PM and as such am new to always on display (AoD). I’ve found that the first touch after waking from AoD on the Lock Screen registers at first and then is ignored/reversed. Is this normal behaviour that’s seen in all AoD iPhones or something related to my specific phone?

Edit: so I think I’ve found part of the issue. As the screen wakes there’s a short transition animation, if I wait for that to complete plus 1 second or so then it works as intended. If I interact mid-animation then it’ll either not register the input or cancel the input at the end of the animation.

I’ve found the touchscreen sometimes doesn’t register, especially the backspace button on the keyboard for some reason.

I’m considering putting in a report to Apple but don’t want to until I know whether it’s just me or a broader phenomenon.

 

After updating to V1.1 the grey fill on the vote indicator on compact comments stopped working.

It highlights a bit of an issue that I’ve had since switching to Mlem; I’d love if that upvote icon fill was colour coded the same as an up/downvote. Previously it was just grey which is ok but having it colour coded would visually function better imo.

This is on an iPhone 15PM iOS 17.0.3.
