I hope so too. But he's already not supposed to be using Mar-a-lago as a permanent residence. So we'll see what happens.

I'm not sure, that's a question for the Dev.

Some of the reason may be the hastle of rebranding, having two Openboards would be confusing so the fork would need to change names and icons and such. Some of it is also be this is for personal use, and we happen to find it, so they may not be interested in the expectation of maintaining it beyond their own useage. Some of it may be this is good enough, Openboard's release cycle is pretty slow so the fork doesn't need to be updated and released often, so an APK on Github downloaded twice a year is good enohgh for them.

I doubt even for health reasons, probably more for security reasons. Secret Service securing a prison would be a nightmare for anything short of splitary confinement. For that reason alone, he'd probably be under house arrest.

You're correct about the difference between Local and All!

You can see the full list of Beehaw's Connected and Blocked instances here. A that URL format works for any Lemmy instance, https:///instances.

Edit to fix link markdown.

I have something like that as well. Skiing and swimming make me feel like that, in different ways.

I'm a lifelong skier, and raced for a couple of years in high school which really improved my general skiing skills, comfort, and confidence. When I'm skiing, I can get to the top of a mountain with an incredible view, I can better see just how vast that little section of the world is. I feel small but at the same time I feel like I can conquer anything, the only thing that can hold me back is a willingness to try.

I'm also a lifelong swimmer, and raced at an amateur level for a about a decade between middle school, high school, and college. It feels amazing to be comfortable and move well in an environment that's almost totally not for humans. It feels like what I imagine being able to fly would, and unlocks a whole new world of otherwise unconventional movements and if you take it to a large pond/lake/ocean weird and amazing creatures as well. That can be amplified even more by doing things like snorkeling, even more curious creatures and structures, not needing to break the immersion to breath. It's a world unlike anything else.

Edit: Sorry about the spam, this seemed to be failing while on Airplane WiFi, so I kept resubmitting not realizing each was actually submitted.

There is more to genedered events than meets the eye. On the surface, it can seem like trying to separate based on ability or potential ability that may seem unnecessary. I don't follow golf so I can't compare the best men's and women's golfers myself. However Chess is also has men's and women's leagues, and doesn't need to separate on any physical differences between men and women. When it comes to events like Chess, US Chess started a Girl's league to help draw and maintain girls playing the game to great success.

Having a separate women's league can make sure that women see there is an oppotuntiy to play and lower that bar to joining, potentially reduce toxicity from a still otherwise male dominated event (this analysis has a gender breakdown for the India Chess Federation), and make sure that women win some of the prize money available incentivising players to play. However there are some like International Master Sam Shankland that believe that it would be better if there was just one league for everyone to compete in, incentivising everyone to improve to the highest level. There are some concerns about a skill gap between men and women, however there are statistical analysis showing that can be explained by having two vastly different sizes of groups being represented and ranked.

Based on a quick glance of the API documentation it looks like TMDM/OMDB doesn't receive your filenames, they use unique IDs assigned to their shows and potentially searches based on titles/episode numbers that Jellyfin is already aware of.
Even if Jellyfin used the filename to search OMDB/TMDB, the headers, body, and the path of the URL (api.themoviedb.org/) are all encrypted by the TLS connection so would not be visible to your ISP.

I'll add that to my rotation! So far it's looking like the most complete app yet. I'm also keeping an eye on Boost for Lemmy, as an ex-Boost for Reddit user.

I flip between a Progressive Web App, Thunder, Jerboa, and Liftoff on Mobile (Android). I've been spending most of my time in Thunder, but each method is missing just a couple features that others cover which are occasionally useful.

The Stage - Avenged Sevenfold

It's a metal album with a pretty big departure from their normal sound (going from more traditional Heavy Metal to more Progressive Metal), and dropping a Single (the title track, The Stage) then the full album by surprise. It's their first conceptual album with a focus on where humanity is (in 2016), how we interact with each other, our progression with technology, and our place in the universe which is still very interesting and fun to unpack. The extended version includes their covers of songs they grew up with in Southern California, ranging from Spanish folk songs to Pink Floyd. It's fantastic to hear a band truly enjoy expanding their sound and creating music they want and seem to love.

This superscript in another post mentions briefly at the bottom in that Beehaw ran into a critical bug in v0.18 which is preventing the upgrade right now.
