What is a good video host for the Fediverse/Lemmy?
Try resizing your browser window. Youll notice that the content reflows very slowly, and that youll often see giant ugly black bars. This is a pretty bad user experience for people who resize their windows often. That alone is not enough to warrant a rewrite of anything though, so thats why it hasn't been fixed yet.
The only other reliable video host I know about is Streamable, but I've never looked at their privacy policy so it may be just another YouTube. Might be worth a look though?
I find it odd that you like Liftoff but not Boost as I found them to be rather similar.
The new app requires more effort to perform basic actions.
As a daily user, I don't care what other benefits it may provide. If using the app becomes more difficult, it's a bad update. End of.
If the majority of users don't like your update, it's shit.
I should add: many users likely aren't vocal. However this doesn't really count as the people who actually care about the quality of the product will be the ones reporting issues, and this demographic does not always line up with the reviewer demographic.
There was an AskReddit thread titled "Have you ever felt a deep personal connection to a person you met in a dream only to wake up feeling terrible because you realize they never existed?"
The original comment being referenced has been since deleted, but you can still find some reposts floating around.
Here's a copy of it:
throw away account cause this is really personal.
My last semester at a certain college I was assulted by a football player for walking where he was trying to drive (note he was 325lbs I was 120lbs), while unconscious on the ground I lived a different life.
I met a wonderful young lady, she made my heart skip and my face red, I pursued her for months and dispatched a few jerk boyfriends before I finally won her over, after two years we got married and almost immediately she bore me a daughter.
I had a great job and my wife didn't have to work outside of the house, when my daughter was two she [my wife] bore me a son. My son was the joy of my life, I would walk into his room every morning before I left for work and doted on him and my daughter.
One day while sitting on the couch I noticed that the perspective of the lamp was odd, like inverted. It was still in 3D but... just.. wrong. (It was a square lamp base, red with gold trim on 4 legs and a white square shade). I was transfixed, I couldn't look away from it. I stayed up all night staring at it, the next morning I didn't go to work, something was just not right about that lamp.
I stopped eating, I left the couch only to use the bathroom at first, soon I stopped that too as I wasn't eating or drinking. I stared at the fucking lamp for 3 days before my wife got really worried, she had someone come and try to talk to me, by this time my cognizance was breaking up and my wife was freaking out. She took the kids to her mother's house just before I had my epiphany.... the lamp is not real.... the house is not real, my wife, my kids... none of that is real... the last 10 years of my life are not fucking real!
The lamp started to grow wider and deeper, it was still inverted dimensions, it took up my entire perspective and all I could see was red, I heard voices, screams, all kinds of weird noises and I became aware of pain.... a fucking shit ton of pain... the first words I said were "I'm missing teeth" and opened my eyes. I was laying on my back on the sidewalk surrounded by people that I didn't know, lots were freaking out, I was completely confused.
At some point a cop scooped me up, dragged/walked me across the sidewalk and grass and threw me face down in the back of a cop car, I was still confused.
I was taken to the hospital by the cop (seems he didn't want to wait for the ambulance to arrive) and give CT scans and shit..
I went through about 3 years of horrid depression, I was grieving the loss of my wife and children and dealing with the knowledge that they never existed, I was scared that I was going insane as I would cry myself to sleep hoping I would see her in my dreams. I never have, but sometimes I see my son, usually just a glimpse out of my peripheral vision, he is perpetually 5 years old and I can never hear what he says.
EDIT (24 hours after post): never though anyone would read this, I changed a line so that it no longer seems that my 2 year old daughter bore a child.
I have never seen Inception or the Star Trek episode so many have mentioned (but I will eventually)
I will not do an AMA
I've had many PM's describing similar experiences and 3 posters stating such experiences are impossible, I'd say more research needs to be done on brain functions. Pre-med students, don't assume you know everything.
A few have asked if they can write a book/screen play/stage play/rage comic etcetera, please consider this tale open source and have fun with it
It's not random at all, it makes perfect sense.
It's alright to admit if you don't understand a joke, there will be people willing to explain it.
Interestingly, this JXL loads in Boost, but the one in the post doesn't. Perhaps it's because it's inside a comment?
I like how Tanya's thoughts here can be easily overlooked as typical meme hyperbole by people who don't know that that is exactly what she thinks about at all times.
I would say finding that the bug is in a library is worse than finding it in your own code.
If it's your own code, you just fix it.
If it's in a library you then have to go and search for issues. If there isn't one, you then go and spend time making one and potentially preparing a minimum reproducible example. Or if you don't do that (or it's just unmaintained) then you have to consider downgrading to a version that doesn't have the bug and potentially losing functionality, or even switching to another library entirely and consequently rewriting all your code that used the old one to work with the new one.
Yeah, I'd take my own bugs over library bugs any day.
Many laptops are made with the US ANSI layout and other layouts like UK ISO are either shoehorned in at the final design stage or relegated to shuffling symbols around and requiring both Fn+Shift to type a character that used to have its own damn key. I'm not salty.
Definitely! We all as a community need to clean this place up, just as clean as Ajax will make your home! Buy today!
Not to mention "I hear what you're saying". While objectively true, it doesn't mean that they understand or give a shit in the slightest. I have a very argumentative family member that says that line ALL the time, and all they really want is to get you to shut up so they can say what they want to say.

How to create a bot account?
Jump
Sounds like you'll either have to make an email for each bot or make them on an instance that doesn't require emails to sign up.
Or, if you use Gmail, you could use your own email with a + alias. For example: If your email is you@gmail.com then you could use you+bot@gmail.com as the boy's email. It should be treated as unique by Lemmy (I have not yet checked), and all mail sent to it will automatically be tagged as Bot.
I would much rather look at wind turbines than smog.
No more accidentally biting my tongue or the inside of my cheek while eating. Sometimes I'm just excited for some good food and it just gets completely ruined :(
I just looked and they have a paid tier for $10/mo that removes the free limits and includes 500GB of cloud storage.
