I was uplifted for a minute and then I read the comments.

Guys, why is it so hard to just respect that people exist that you might not fully understand?

"Dead language"

Dude it doesn't count if you're literally killing the language on purpose

Considering contractions would be part of the birthing process caused by hormones overall, probably still painful. I don't think her uterus realizes it's elastagirl on a hormonal level. Just because you know and can solve the issue doesn't mean your body stops freaking out

THIS IS *NOT* OKAY.

This sets a dangerous example, and we need to talk about it.

If you punch a Nazi like this, you're going to break your wrist. Remember, make contact with the largest two knuckles (index and middle finger) and keep a strong wrist. You want to hurt the Nazi, not yourself!

Stay safe out there and keep punching Nazis.

This has been a public service announcement.

[Two images shown side by side. The first shows a young man in a black shirt standing on a crowded sidewalk, his hand raised above his head in the historical "Nazi salute" with a lightly smug expression. There is a person's hand holding up their middle finger prominently in his direction visible from the right side of the screen, but everything past their forearm is out of the image frame. In the second image, the same man in the black shirt is shown with his hand at his side, as a second man in an orange shirt is shown in the middle of punching the taller black-shirted man in the jaw. The fist of the man punching is angled slightly upwards at the wrist, so his fist makes contact at the knuckles on his fingers rather than using the flat surface of a typical punch. The image is captured before the man in the black shirt reacts to the punch. The hand holding up a middle finger is still visible in the right of the frame.]

Image Transcription: Line Graph


[A line graph is shown depicting the number of users on Lemmy over one month's time. The horizontal axis lists the date of each reading, with an interval shown for every day. The earliest date begins at '2023-05-28' and the most recent date is given as '2023-06-26'. The vertical axis measures the number of users, with intervals marked at every 5,000 users, with an upper limit of 50,000 users. There is a green trend like and a blue trend line graphed from plot points at every horizontal interval. The green line is labelled 'Active users monthly' shows increase over time. The line remains flat at approximately 1,000 users from the '05-28' date mark to the '05-31' mark, then begins to gradually increase to approximately 10,000 users, starting to show a trend similar to the beginning of an exponential growth curve. At the '06-11' date mark, the line begins increasing at a relatively steady rate, with the last marked date showing just over 45,000 users. There are two points in which the line shows an apparent indication of levelling off in user count, before then showing a sudden increase in users again, with neither of these points significantly impacting the overall upward trend. These points are at the dates '06-16' and '06-21'. The second graphed line, the blue line, is labelled 'Active Users Half year' and starts at approximately 3,000 users, but follows an almost identical trend shape as the green line as it increases approximately parallel to it. The blue line ends at around 48,000 users at the final graphed point.]

@nelson@tech.lgbt, @nelson

Lol the Twitter webapp is trying to load something from its internal graphql API and getting a 429 Too Many Requests response. Twitter's JavaScript ignores the error and tries again, hundreds of times a second.

Twitter is DDOSing itself.

[The mascot icon for the app 'Apollo for Reddit', a small cartoon-style astronaut's head, is shown smiling in from of a pink heart, with two smaller hearts floating above it. There is a white volume icon in the upper right corner and white text below the icon. The image has a black background.]

Thank You

Apollo shut down on June 30th due to reddit making drastic and sudden increases to API pricing for developers.

It was an absolute honour to build Apollo for you all over the last 9 years, I loved every minute of it.

I'm a migrating ToR trying to transcribe posts on Lemmy and that's one thing that often bugs me with these interfaces, I need to exit and clear my comment every time I want to look at the images included in the original post on mobile (which, when transcribing verbatim, is a lot of times)

It can get both frustrating and exhausting to have to do, since I'll need to do it like six or seven times per post. Is there a way to allow users to easily see the parent comment or post (including linked media like images) as they're typing their comments? The faster and smoother the interface, the more transcriptions I can get done in a timely manner, and that can help users who need screen reader friendly descriptions on content.
