The "Jump" button currently does this. You can turn it on in App Settings > Appearance > Comments

Most of the options and layout are great and the scroll is very smooth. The only thing besides custom themes I would love is a long swipe in addition to each short swipe.

I'm trying out the eternity app and liking a lot of things so far. I really enjoy customizing the look of lemmy apps but so far seem to have pretty limited outcome with choosing a theme. I can pick dark or light mode but if I choose a premade theme or try to create one, it doesnt change anything.

edit: also, collapsing comments only collapses the vote buttons and not text 😬

There are 4 on different instances when I searched, the most active one looks to be !changemyview@lemmy.world

I personally havent tried it but "be the change" you know? I didnt see a few subs I missed so I made them (different account). Start posting on there and maybe it will inspire more.

 

I now live near a pine tree and don't know what to do with all of the pine cones. Decorations? Just burn them in a fire pit? Any ideas welcome.

Hmm the beans don't normally get stuck and there really isn't a ton of resistance, so I wouldn't call it strenuous. It feels like maybe the amount of forced to scrub a dish kind of hard. It's not difficult, but the time it takes can be tiring if grinding a whole pot.

It looks like a cast iron burr that fans out over a dome shape

I've only tried it the one time so far but doing at a moderate pace that wasnt making me sweat and the finest granule setting was about one minute for 15g.

It was in pretty good shape to begin with, but I cleaned it and ground some coffee and it worked great! The top nut adjusts the granule size and made it pretty fine when I tightened it.

Any of you have an older grinder that you enjoy using or tips for using them?

Oh duh, you did say that. The only other thing I could think of is going to the way back machine and getting one of the earlier apps like Mlem or Memmy, or message one of the app's developers for a version that is compatible.

The dev for Arctic has been pretty responsive and may be willing to help you out.

Maybe Voyager's web app?

GBB 2024, this was a crazy way to start the semi-finals. I can't wait to see more from both of these guys.

 

Normally I absolutely cringe at the "reaction video" format, but Dlow usually does it in a fun and informative way and not simply for entertainment.

He comments on a bunch of beatboxers around the world. What I liked about this video is that it shows people from all over and some doing some pretty crazy stuff. Some are better than others but I like to hear non-competition beatboxers to get a variety.

 

Wishing you all a good Ramadan and may Allah bless you and your families.

That's an interesting question. Many people are answering the question "Would people from 150 years ago think the quality of life is better" instead of "Would they think modern people are weaker."

I think that depends on how you define "weak" or "strong." Physically, I think there is less manual labor needed, so in general people from the past may look at us as weaker. The understanding of mental health and resilience is lesser in the past, but if conveyed in relative terms, I do think they would see how more resilient we need to generally be to things now like doom scrolling and algorithms that we are exposed to in the present.

Humans are pretty adaptable. Since we generally have more access to resources now, I would argue modernity has the side effect of hindering our sense of agency. Likewise, we are adapting different "strengths" based on the challenges we get in the present.

Huh, I got the same result when using the Lemmy Explorer section and searching for an instance with "Exclude NSFW" selected. If I searched by community instead of instance, it worked and included the instances you mentioned. Weirdly it actually included at least one community that was NSFW with "Exclude NSFW" selected.

I think a better preface would be "I was going to say a joke about the postal service… But it always has a poor delivery."

For those interested, the book Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker has very understandable details about sleep. He touches on the waste removal during NREM. He initially became interested in sleep by finding that Alzheimer’s was first predictably detected in changes in EEG sleep waves before symptoms of forgetfulness began.
