they haven’t aged well

This sort of humor in general hasn’t aged well. I think this sort of thing is still funny when it’s a surprise, ie used sparingly.

I think so; except leaning more heavily on promiscuity?

I don’t know if this holds true outside of my awareness, but I am only hearing folks refer to it as PTO (paid time off) these days. The place I work goes as far as to blend all types of days into one bucket, to be used for sick time or whatever the person needs.

I’m surprised that was enough - don’t underestimate a kids ability to make their own pixie dust out of whatever they have around. Now there’s plant soil and sugar on the floor too.

The Breakers - this is the Rockefeller’s summer home in Newport. It’s open for tours, and though I don’t recall the prices being crazy, it’s definitely been a while.

It’s so ostentatious and over the top, but beautiful, and full of wonderfully made things.

I think it’s interesting to consider our modern billionaire class as equivalents to Rockefeller’s gilded age.

Oh, and while you’re in RI make sure to get a Del’s frozen lemonade.

Disclaimer: I’m a 15 year iPhone owner, so I don’t have practical experience with this, but this is the angle I’d be researching, were in your situation. Or considering an iPhone, lol, Apple is still updating 10 year old phones. Of course, I don’t expect this crowd to take that last comment seriously ;)

Having not read the article, I would wager a guess that because 401k balances are invested in diverse funds, and if the fund composition includes corporations contributing to emissions… and you are making money off their profitability… you are therefore contributing to those emissions. Pick other things to invest in.

No one mentions Adele?

I’m no one important, but I’m impressed!

Honest question - do you think there are more conservatives than liberals in the US?

How do you think republican candidates would fare without gerrymandering and the current state of the electoral college?

From the article (I am not the author)

Only Watch is a huge deal in the world of watches. You are completely forgiven if you haven’t heard of it, as it’s a charity event that happens only every other year and this is only it’s tenth edition this year. Started in 2005 it was a way to raise funds for research on Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Since then, it has become a milestone event in the watch world, as pretty much every relevant name in the industry contributes a unique timepiece - hence the name Only Watch - to be auctioned off. And they bring some crazy pieces - in 2019, a Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime Ref. 6300A sold for CHF 31 million.

The last auction raised CHF 30 million with only 53 watches for sale. This year, there are 62 watches going up for auction and I’m going to do something crazy - here’a list of all 62 of them. In alphabetical order.

The search tab icon is on the complete opposite end of the screen from the search text entry field. Engaging with search requires tapping the bottom most area, then the top most area, then back to the bottom keyboard area. It’s slow and clumsy.

Tapping the search tab icon once already brings the user to the search interface. Tapping the tab icon a second time while already on the tab should bring the search text entry field into focus so the user can start typing. See IMDb app for a live demo.

When a post contains an album of multiple images, I can only see the first image in Memmy, but I can confirm via the web that the post contains multiple images.

I haven’t seen anyone else complain about this - am I missing how to do this? Do others not care, or not realize there are multiple images?

Example post that in Memmy shows one image, but the web shows two.

I change out my switches frequently, and I’m looking for a tool that’s better than the free ones I’ve received over the years. Something that is robust, less likely to bend or break, is comfortable to use, and does a good job. Extra points if it’s cool looking, or comes in orange.

Comparing to Apollo, the haptic feedback in Memmy is more intense when taking action like voting. Apollo gives you just enough to know you’ve taken action, and Memmy feels like someone is flicking my phone with their finger.

If I had to guess, I’d say Apollo is soft and light, and Memmy is heavy and rigid. [https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/playing-haptics](Apple’s HIG for Taptic Engine for reference.)

For me, the difference is at worst mildly unpleasant feeling, but I also use the app before getting out of bed in the morning, and the Memmy haptic audibly resonates through my mattress and has woken up my wife. She is admittedly a light sleeper! I think there’s also a trivial impact to battery.

I propose that this be dialed back in Memmy to levels similar to Apollo, except perhaps when you’ve transitioned to slide to downvote. I could still envision it being useful there.

In the top comment of another post I learned that there’s a way to buy our beneficent app dev a coffee (or 10).

I don’t mean to pressure anyone to donate, but I personally have found this app to be crucial in my lemmy patronage, which is in turn crucial in my ditching of Reddit… so I had been looking for this, and thought others might be too.
