Agree with this, especially about movement. Overall the main bad thing about regular desks and comfy chairs, is that you can sit at them without changing your posture for hours, which is bad for everything: blood circulation, posture, muscles, etc. "The best posture is your next one."

I work from the floor now mainly... it's cheap, portable, forces you to move, doesn't require anything besides maybe a few pillows and any coffee table or raised surface for a laptop.

Thx! I'm its original creator, and used it to teach myself android app programming. It also has another core maintainer, mv-gh, who knows much more about android development than me.

I haven't had too much time to work on it recently, but its open source so anyone can contribute.

Quite the two paragraphs here

There's a few running, that the democrats tried and failed to kick off the ballot in many states. Party for Socialism and Liberation is one.

The US greens are also an eco-socialist party. Ajamu Baraka is a great anti-imperialist / communist writer, and he was the green party's VP pick last time.

One feature that genuinely is cool that keeps getting better (at least on lots of android models) : battery life and charging speed.

My OnePlus 12r has a 2 day battery life, and can charge from 0-50% in like 10 minutes.

Its so good that I use the 80% max charge setting to preserve the battery for a few extra years.

At this rate I could totally see a future where we can fully charge phones by plugging them in for less than a minute.

That, and also they drew the picture in a way that makes genocide of palestinians inevitable. Genocide is not inevitable, no matter how much US democrats think it is, and tell everyone to get in line behind it.

Its so easy to construct trolley problems that have nothing to do with reality, and don't represent the options actually available, or even the problem / scenario correctly.

Libgen isn't going anywhere, they're domiciled in a privacy-friendly country.

Also a lot of books are on torrents, which means they're safe.

Nice! Best I can do is still just a heart. How are you learning / getting better at it?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

I'm starting to think now the trolley problem should be reframed as a catch-22 / false choice / manufactured consent.

Who constructed this trolley? Why are there only two options shown? Do these options actually match reality? etc.

Controlled opposition parties like the US democrats love to dangle these carrots during election seasons. Roe v Wade in red states was unrolled under Biden, while he held up his hands and said there was nothing he could do about it. But as soon as election season rolls around, they're suddenly champions of women's rights. If they were to actually do something about it, they'd no longer be able to campaign on it.

The jellyfin docker is really easy to set up. And then you get the benefit of complete portability.

 

Here is our regular update that explains what we have been working on for the past two weeks. This should allow average users to keep up with development, without reading Github comments or knowing how to program.

We failed to publish the update last Friday as scheduled, so this update contains more changes than usual. We also added @dullbananas as maintainer for the Lemmy backend repo.

@matc-pub reduced the amount of data that needs to be fetched by the browser for rendering lemmy-ui, by loading only translations which are actually used.

@flamingo-cant-draw added a URL Blocklist, to prevent link spamming.

@SleeplessOne exposed Lemmy errors in the Rust API. In lemmy-ui he added a badge for number of local subscribers to a community and added a UI to see and edit community visibility. In the leptos UI, he made the UI use the lemmy-client crate for API requests.

@Nutomic fixed synchronization of featured posts. He added a 'delete content' checkbox for account deletion which was missing from previous releases. He also fixed various bugs related to password reset, signed fetch from Mastodon, search listing type, password reset and 2FA. He updated the federation library with security improvements. Added dont require leading ! or @ for webfinger resolve. Fixed video thumbnail generation.. Added including an apub hashtag with a post.

@Dessalines added a new API endpoint for users to hide posts. He made various moderation improvements, such as removing content from local communities when a remote user is banned or purged, viewing mod action history and report history for specific posts and comments. Additionally he added an alt_text field for posts, and a new user setting for vote display mode. Also added extra fields to PostReport and CommentReport views. Has also, along with @MV-GH, been making many improvements to Jerboa.

In personal news, @nutomic's daugher will be born next month. Afterwards he will take a break from Lemmy to take care of her for some months.

Support development

@dessalines and @nutomic are working full-time on Lemmy to integrate community contributions, fix bugs, optimize performance and much more. This work is funded exclusively through donations.

If you like using Lemmy, and want to make sure that we will always be available to work full time building it, consider donating to support its development. Recurring donations are ideal because they allow for long-term planning. But also one-time donations of any amount help us.
