Yeah, something's funky, though weirdly nothing seems amiss on the status pages I know of. Neither the official status page (https://status.lemm.ee/) nor this instance neutral page (https://phiresky.github.io/lemmy-federation-state/site?domain=lemm.ee) show anything noteworthy that I can see. Hopefully sunaurus can figure it out!

I've posted about it before, but I think the app should have a No-Thumbnail/No-Predownload option like RiF had. Most of the data it uses up I never make use of. It's a big waste.

I have. It's great. Always wished it had gotten more seasons.

Why would it be unconstitutional? The amendment doesn't require forced labor, it just allows it. States deciding to nix it as a "punishment" are fully in their rights.

What's the deal with the shopped on safety gear?

No. Just the Trump thing. Conflating that with anything else you said is a very weird bit of normalization for the former.

Right? Considering how much the people that use netflix use it (near constantly in a lot of cases), this suggests that a worrying amount of people pay for netflix without using it at all. All that work-free profit and they still have lay offs and price raises.

Pretty easy to understand. This illustrates it nicely. Just imagine millions more of the man under the pipe feeding into it with their individual drips on the other end.

I've already agreed that situations vary. My point has always been about this study, not others. In this situation, the 15-20% of births in teens was not "the traditional driver of USA birth rates" (paraphrasing).
As for the other person, they were being an asshole for repeatedly attempting to use their own misunderstanding to delegitimize my point instead of taking even a moment to consider my words wholly. Pardon me for not having a surplus of patience to endure that today.

Feel free to stop responding to my discussion with someone else with your asinine "contributions". They serve no purpose but to derail the conversation with your brash lack of understanding.

This was my first thought too, hah.

Obviously even 1 extreme outlier can skew things, but that's not the case here.
In the terms of your analogy, this is about 3 people out of 20 pedaling a (weirdly long) bike and steered by all of them (somehow). Would you say that group of 3 are driving? Or would you concede it's the two groups of 6 that are mostly driving the bike?

I'm unclear what the gameplay will be like. The vibe feels like something between DRG and Outlast Trials?

The amount the percentage represents is irrelevant. A billion people could be involved, but if the total is 7 billion, it's not going to be a significant part of the total trend.
Planning to watch through Jordan Peele's movies for the spooky season and thought it'd be nice to expand that out to other movies from POC creatives. My current list includes *Sorry to Bother You* (another favorite of mine I've been meaning to rewatch), *Bad Hair*, *Horror Noire*, and *Ganja & Hess*. Any other movies that fit the theme that you would suggest? They certainly don't have to stick to African American/Black creatives, and English isn't a must, but would be preferred.
Not my home instance, but I hope the question is pretty universal. Was hoping to check through some of my hidden posts that I hid for spoiler reasons now that it's not a concern.
I've been taking a break from Magic since the beginning of Caves of Ixalan for a number of reasons, but am wanting to check out Bloomburrow. Since part of the reason I stepped away was the Play Booster changeup for drafting, I was wondering how people are feeling about it. I'd be particularly interested in reading your thoughts on it if you were a hater that has ultimately come around to the change.
When I used Reddit is Fun, it really hogged up data unless thumbnails we're disabled. I've noticed that Connect is also using quite a lot of data, but there is no similar setting that I can find (there's an option to disable preloading images, but I'm not seeing what that changes). Even if there was just an option to toggle thumbnails manually, it'd be much appreciated.
I noticed a distinct lack of response to comments and looking at the threads from other instances shows that my comments aren't appearing outside of lemm.ee, and going to the link I shared shows there are 0 up-to-date instances with lemm.ee. This happened around the big update in December, too. Not sure what the cause is, but here's hoping it can be resolved soon! *Dunno if this info would be helpful, but the last comment of mine that seems to have federated properly was from 07:15UTC, and the first comment that seems to be missing was from 14:15UTC. So something happened between then.
One of mine is *Commit This to Memory* by Motion City Soundtrack. I basically took the title verbatim and know the album word for word. And while I would love if it did, the rest of MCS's stuff just doesn't hit the same way. And if you're not an album person, maybe a period of time in the artist's work? Whatever works for you. *Lots of mentions of hit debut albums that subsequently petered out, which follows with the dreaded sophomore slump that hits many artists. Anyone with mid or even later career albums that stand alone? Those always intrigue me.
Just had this thought and I'm caught between the two. Assuming anything being considered were all "good" photos, what would you prefer if it were you? *Lots of great responses! I do want to clarify that I am not currently dealing with this scenario myself, but I appreciate the thoughtful comments. Hopefully they can help people that are struggling. I know I'll keep them in mind for the future.
I absolutely adored the first 2 seasons as they came out and wasn't confident in how the third season would follow up. And tbh, the first half was somewhat underwhelming. The Zava stuff seemed pointless and it kinda felt like it was running on auto-pilot. But man, starting with the Amsterdam episode it was just banger after banger (with special nods to 'The Strings That Bind Us' with Sam's emotional arc and the finale 'So Long Farwell' with, well...everything). The last show that made me laugh-cry that much was The Good Place. I know there's lots of folks sad about it being done so quickly, but I don't think I'd want it any other way. Bill Lawrence, Jason Sudeikis, and everyone else on that show made something truly wonderful, not just for tv, but as a heartfelt examination and embrace of the flaws and strengths in all of us. This story about football that's not really about football (but still really is) will always hold a place in my heart. *slaps 'Believe!' poster*

For one, even if I wanted to use it, piped never works for me. Second, on mobile, my alternative of choice doesn't recognize everyone's non-yt links, so it removes my choice in the matter. Third, I have no reason to trust the weird-ass domains I see, and to un-fuck the url takes much more time then just handing out the original YT links and letting people choose for themselves how they view the video.

Rediscovered this vid digging around my old youtube playlists. I barely knew who Tom was back then, and with his recent announcement, I thought it was kind of neat to come back to. Hopefully others find it as funny/neat as I do!
I do this for a few things, movies in particular. For me most recently, I'm planning on watching Bo Burnham's *Inside* this weekend, for the first time since I watched it shortly post-release. I wasn't really intending to wait \*checks watch* nearly 3 years on that one, but I definitely felt it needed some space before a rewatch. Anyone else treat certain pieces of media similarly?
I just noticed that all of my comments for the last few days don't show up in the parent instance of the post. It is happening in several different instances, so it seems like it's probably an issue on the lemm.ee side of things. So far comments aren't appearing in 'Lemmy.world', 'Lemmy.ca', or 'Sh.itjust.works' While looking into this, I also noticed other lemm.ee users posts that aren't appearing when switching instances. *Suddenly got some interaction with the lost posts, as well as a few comments from 'lemm.ee' on the other account I've been using, which matches up to [sunaurus's post on updating to 19.1.](https://lemm.ee/post/19843583) Glad to see things appear to be working as expected again. Hopefully 0.19 doesn't have anymore surprises for us!
The instance I'm on just did the update and this comment highlighting is really throwing me off. It's super glaring and unpleasant imo and I'd really appreciate the ability to turn it off. I've looked around a bit but haven't found anything myself. Am I missing something?
Considering the latest rash of spam images plaguing the platform, I decided to figure out how to block embeds entirely since I never really liked them in the first place and am sharing what I got working since I figured it might be something others would like to enable themselves. (Fyi, this method requires uBlock Origin) - Open your uBlock settings and navigate to the 'My Filters' section - At the bottom of the document, add two breaks and then paste this: ``` lemm.ee##p > span ``` - If your instance is different than `lemm.ee`, then replace that with the instance you use to have it work. With that enabled, images and videos shouldn't load in comments anymore. I'm sure there's a better way to do this, so feel free to share if you know! This is just what I knew how to get work asap. Hope it helps some people! --- *0.19 seems to have borked the method I previously posted, but I was able to find another string that works that seems to be more efficient anyhow. Hopefully this one works for a while! I'm going to leave the old strings at the bottom here just to cover all bases. To reiterate, these are the old strings that, afik, do NOT work anymore. ``` lemm.ee##.comment-content > .md-div > p > [src] lemm.ee##.comment-content > .md-div > p > video ```
I drafted the heck out of it and I noticed today that I am 1-of "complete" with WOE, which is the first set I've done that with on Arena. While LCI looks to be good in it's own right, WOE just hit all the right notes and I miss it already, so cheers to an awesome draft format! It was great while it lasted.
