Is there something wrong with Lucid's cars? Most of the discussion I've seen seemed positive.

Trakt was popular in the past, and has integrations with Jellyfin, although some people may have left after their pricing/feature changes earlier this year.

Here is a relevant thread you might find helpful: https://lemmy.ca/post/38746526

Libredirect is another one that handles a bunch of similar redirections, although it's a bit buggy.

Cool! Your first link seems broken, trying it again here: !MarkMyWords@lemmy.world

Excerpt:

The first climate migrants to leave the remote Pacific island nation of Tuvalu have arrived in Australia, hoping to preserve links to their sinking island home, foreign affairs officials said on Thursday.

More than one-third of Tuvalu's 11,000 population applied for a climate visa to migrate to Australia, under a deal struck between the two countries two years ago.

The intake is capped at 280 visas annually to prevent a brain drain in the small island nation.

 

Excerpt:

Machias Seal Island is a tiny tear-shaped island — about 550 metres long and 250 metres wide — located in the Bay of Fundy off New Brunswick.

Both Canada and the United States have tried to claim the island, which is mostly uninhabited except for a lighthouse keeper and some researchers studying the island’s seabird colonies.

Sen. Jim Quinn, who is from New Brunswick, says he was upset to see an American tour company website describe the island as being “on the Maine coast.”

“That’s unacceptable in this day and age, especially with where we are with our neighbours to the south,” he said. “That administration has made various claims about Canada and its 51st state and all of these things.”

Machias Seal Island is a migratory bird sanctuary maintained by the Government of Canada. The lightkeeper is flown in every few months from the Canadian Coast Guard and only two small tour boat companies, one of which is Canadian and the other American, are allowed to visit the island during certain months.

I completely missed that, nice catch 😄

From the description on the website:

My family has always been obsessed with animals. We had every pet imaginable while growing up. Maybe 30 different types of animals over the years? I've wandered over all 7 continents in this beautiful world to see wild animals very up close in the wild. Sometimes very uncomfortably close. I was never super into bugs.

Once, I visited the middle of nowhere, Mexico, to see the fireflies in the forest. We walked into the forest at dusk. Everyone stood there quietly until the sun fully set. We waited and at first there were a few, then more, and more. Until the entire forest lit up as I had never seen before!

This tries to recreate that magic. While it doesn't do it justice. If I can make some of you take a moment out of your day to breathe and smile. I did my job for the day.

Now I have a deep appreciation for even the bugs in our big, magnificent world.

Assuming OP is also the creator of the website, thanks for sharing your work here @nomadsteve@lemmy.world :)

Does the amount of water affect the rate of growth, or is it a timing thing?

Am I absorbing water like a sponge, where I'd grow much faster in a pool vs. the rain

Or is it a reaction to any prolonged contact with water

I love it, little guy looks mildly sleepy 😄

Unless something changed very recently, it's still in early talks

EBU has confirmed early talks are underway, but no decision has been made

However, don’t expect a confirmed new inclusion any time soon, as Eurovision is currently wrestling to keep the contest from tearing itself apart.

Not only that, the numbers don't make sense

The $2 trillion figure is likely derived from a report published in March by the American Enterprise Institute, a right-wing think tank based in Washington D.C.

The report’s authors came up with the figure based on military expenditures of NATO members between 2000 — six years before the 2 per cent target was actually formalized — and 2024. The report did not provide a dollar value for Canada’s alleged shortfall specifically.

 

A major earthquake of magnitude 7.6 has hit Japan's north-eastern region.

The quake occurred at 23:15 (14:15 GMT) at a depth of 50km (31 miles), about 80km off the coast of the Aomori region, the Japan Meteorological Agency said,

It prompted tsunami warnings which have now been downgraded to advisories, while waves of 40cm (16in) were seen in some places.

Local media reports that some people in the region have been injured, while trains have been suspended as a precaution.

Two-person indie studio Chequered Ink launched a pack of 10,000 game assets to "give budding developers an alternative to AI", which includes over 9,000 graphics for platformers, RPGs, puzzle games, board games, and more, as well as over 700 sound effects.

starting in late March 2026, there will be a new limit of 5 high-traffic communities per moderator. Only communities with greater than 100k weekly visitors count toward this limit, and there are no limits on communities under that amount.

For those who are impacted (less than 0.1% of active mods), we’re rolling out in several phases over 6 months to ensure mods have sufficient time to prepare. We notified all impacted moderators last month, and you can also check your status anytime here.

More details in the thread.

We could also consider policies around this on an instance level. I don't think it's that big of a problem yet, and "X communities with >Y users" might not be the best metric for us, but it's worth discussing

 

If anyone has an article with more technical details on what the solar radiation did, and how they're going to patch it, I'd like to read about it :)

Airbus said it discovered the issue after an investigation into an incident in which a plane flying between the US and Mexico suddenly lost altitude in October.

The JetBlue Airways flight made an emergency landing in Florida after at least 15 people were injured.

The problem identified with A320 aircrafts relates to a piece of computing software which calculates a plane's elevation.

Airbus discovered that, at high altitudes, its data could be corrupted by intense radiation released periodically by the Sun.

The A320 family are what is known as "fly by wire" planes. This means there is no direct mechanical link between the controls in the cockpit and the parts of the aircraft that actually govern flight, with the pilot's actions processed by a computer.
