Are there any launchers that have Nova's 2 best features?

  1. Swipe-to-open folders (with tap to open the first item in the folder)
  2. Set any icon you want as an app icon?

I've tried Lawnchair and it was missing these 2 features. I will switch to any launcher that supports these!

The Shoe Bomber was caught because he was trying to light a fuse with a lighter. You cannot light a bomb with a pocket knife. If you want to ban something from planes, ban lighters

I didn't read Solrize's comment as saying "There shouldn't be paywalls," just asking the very legitimate question as to how they will interact with federation.

Interestingly, 404 just solved something kinda related: they developed a way for subscribers to get a custom RSS feed address, so they can access paywalled articles directly in their RSS reader. TMK, they are the first publication to do this. I imagine they would do something similar for federation. (I believe that if any of the custom RSS feeds show huge traffic numbers, 404 shuts it down, but I'm not sure)

"We're gonna get all the poors off the road so it's only nice cars"

 

I genuinely believe that car owners could be tricked into supporting FuckCars policies by a very crafty politician/campaign. It would work like this:

  1. Proclaim your love of cars. Loudly. "I want to make our city the best city in the world for drivers!"
  2. "What are the biggest problems drivers face today? Traffic and parking! Therefore... We need to open up roads and parking spaces..."
  3. "And that's why we're going to cap the number of cars that can enter downtown. With increased public transit, we can free up these roads for drivers! That way: more parking, less traffic, a better life for drivers"

Do the same thing for bikes:

  1. "These bikers want to share the road, but studies have shown that whether you use sharrows, plastic bollards, it doesn't matter: people still get hurt.
  2. And here's the thing: when a car hits a cyclist, it's bad for everyone, including the driver. Nobody wants to hit a cyclist. But the sad truth is that it might just not be possible to share the road
  3. "That's why I'm proposing that we make some roads car-only, to protect cyclists." [Crowd of drivers cheer, and you quickly say:] "Also we'll make some streets bike-only, for the same reason." [And then when you get in office, just be like "Yeah the highway is for cars"]

I'm available for speeches if anyone's hiring

Surprisingly, one of the only groups to use this calendar IRL was a giant international corporation: Kodak

There's a push to get OpenReads to work with BookWyrm

https://github.com/mateusz-bak/openreads/issues/96

 

This happens a lot: I apply for a job and they ask for my complete address. Why? I would understand if they just want to know what city/town I'm in: That has bearing on how easily I can get to the office.

But why do they need to know my street address?

The only thing I can think: Indeed/LinkedIn/take-your-pick is building a profile of me based on this info, using my street as a proxy for my income, credit score, or, ultimately, for my social class.

From now on, when they ask me, I'm just going to put a rich person's address. For this one I used a Brooklyn townhouse where Maggie Gyllenhaal and one of the Saarsgaards lives.

 

Last year Elon Musk accidentally revealed that he has a burner account on Twitter called @ErmnMusk.

Now that account is gone.

I'm looking for an archive: its tweets, its likes, anything and everything. Does anyone know where to find?

Wow, that was it. Thank you!

Fair question! But yeah, I'm seeing this issue with my lemm.ee and not my lemmy.world

 

I'm unable to load my own profile in Eternity. Having this issue across multiple accounts. Tapping "Profile" in the sidebar brings up my profile but it's empty, no posts load. Anyone know how to fix?

 

I just joined lemm.ee from lemmy.world. I was drawn to lemm.ee bc it federates with all the right instances.

But my feed is behaving oddly. (I view Lemmy through the Eternity app on Android.)

  • I'm seeing posts from communities I haven't subscribed to, even when I view my "Subscribed" feed
  • I get a weird error when I try to comment on some posts (in Firefox@lemmy.ml, most recently)

These issues didn't happen previously. Anyone know how to fix?

I'm confused. I've been using this extension for years on desktop without this issue. I think it has an option where you can install a companion conversion app on your machine and bypass the QR code. Am I mistaken?

My Asus Zenfone 8 is still going strong after 2+ years. Case and screen protector help, of course

I'm looking for a way to pull images from my Lemmy feed and display them on desktop tiles, similar to Scrolldit. Ideally, the images would refresh every so often.

Does anything like this exist?

Thank you

I'm looking for an EV motorcycle that can support 2 passengers. Anyone know of any?

I've read that the Sondors Metacycle can fit 2. But that's all I've found. Seating on the Zero FX is said to be tight, and other bikes seem specifically designed to cap at 1 passenger. Ex: the Johammer or the Tarform

Maybe you could fit 2 on the Land Moto District? But any owners in here know what that drops the range to?

Thanks all
