Lmao the first thing that came to mind was the “is there anyone else you forgot to ask” meme with apple in between the user and app developer.

The last I heard about that it turned out that the inclusion of a non free dependency was a packaging mistake and has been supposedly fixed

“The sdk-secrets repository and packages will no longer be referenced from the client apps, since that code is not used there.”

This is a community for The Onion and other satire so yes

The thing is the missing comments are all in English, and they affect entire posts and not just certain commenters so it probably isn’t related to the language setting for individual comments, otherwise only certain comments would be missing and not the whole thread. Plus I already have all languages enabled. As a test I also found one commenter from an empty thread and viewed other posts they commented on and both their comment and everyone else’s showed up. If it was related to people marking their comments wrong I would expect it to affect their comments on other threads too.

I’m curious if the problematic posts are the same for others, for example this thread with 60+ comments is one that shows empty in sync but with the correct comment count: https://lemmy.ml/post/22091314

And this post too with ~20 comments, also all in English: https://lemmy.ml/post/22089346

I double checked and my account settings on the web UI have all languages selected, and sync even shows the correct count for comments, just doesn’t display any of them.

My retirement account has roughly doubled between Dec 2021 and now, I basically only invest in mutual funds and ETFs with a medium risk, low fees, and high return according to Morningstar ratings (I’m not sure how reliable those metrics are but it’s what shows up when browsing funds on fidelity and it seems to be picking good options so far)

I also canceled my subscription because it’s been months and half of the posts with comments still show no comments forcing me to open every post in Firefox just to read the comments. Seems like too many bugs that leave the app unusable are being ignored.

I don’t even make decaf espresso after noon-ish.

Not sure about Facebook since authenticating for private videos is a hurdle, but for my partner who uses a mac I downloaded open video downloader which is just a foss GUI for ytdl, it also keeps ytdl up to date which is a requirement for me since I don’t want to be called when it stops working. I think on windows you have to manually install msvc2010redist but besides that it seems to just work out of the box.

I used to have a lot of apps back then that would use them as advertisement banners, it was really annoying. I forget when it happened but I’ve been using Android since honeycomb so I’ve seen a lot

I’m hoping and assuming that apps would need to ask for permission to use this, lest this turn into every app fighting to push their own dynamic island notification to the top bar, just like how back then every app wanted to have its own persistent notification and also that time when every app provided minor status updates using global toasts that didn’t specify which app created it, so you could be doing something in a completely different app and you’d get a completely random and unattributed toast with some vague message like “connection failed” with no way outside of third party apps to figure out which app sent it. /rant

Til it’s undemocratic to want your vote to count

Wait you can train the Futo keyboard? I tried it a while ago and noticed the poor accuracy and decided to shelve it for a while.

Don’t wp updates and plugins only come from one of the 2? Anyway I’m pretty sure they’re just mad that wpengine uses bandwidth from the wp update infrastructure without paying instead of hosting their own update infrastructure, which basically means that selfhosters / individuals are not the target. That said it still sounds like the dude is being hella petty about it.

I think this whole spat is about wordpress.com not .org

Gotcha, that sounds like searx is a good option then. At first I thought you were giving a reason why searx isn’t a suitable alternative as the gp comment is downvoted a bunch.

Can’t you just not enable the Yandex backend if you’re selfhosting searx?

I use the open source bitwarden server vaultwarden, but still use the official browser plugin and Android app - though I wonder if this library license change would affect open source client implementations by requiring third party extensions and apps to implement their own compatible BitWarden API. The cynic in me wonders if that could be a move to make it harder on developers of third party clients in an effort to strengthen the position of the official clients even when using a third party server like vaultwarden. I never really considered using a foss bit/vaultwarden browser extension or Android app but maybe I should if it exists.

Someone correct me if I’m interpreting the license issue wrong.

Sounds like those “soft touch” plastic surfaces. I’ve had a bunch of old plastic things turn sticky that way - it’s really hard to get it off but what I do is alternate between isopropyl, WD40 (brushed on with a cotton swab or cotton ball and let it sit for a while to let it break down the sticky before using Clorox or isopropyl to remove the WD40), and Clorox wipes. Eventually the matte finish comes off and you’re left with a shiny plastic surface. It just takes a lot of elbow grease, I often give myself finger blisters from scrubbing but it’s a relief to get it off.

Edit: also the last time I did this was on some old lighters which had a soft touch plastic which turned sticky, what ended up happening was the WD40 seemed to help soften the sticky stuff which allowed me to push it around by rubbing really firmly in one direction. If you push it towards one spot it’ll bunch up like softened sticker goo, then I use Clorox wipes to pinch up the bits of collected goo. It still took a lot of rubbing to get the last sticky stuff off to reveal the shiny plastic underneath but “migrating” the goo into a pile once softened by the WD40 (but degreasing the excess WD40 with the Clorox wipes before rubbing so that your finger doesn’t just slip) seemed to be the strategy for my sticky lighters.

Hope that helps you figure out something that works for you

If only they would do damage control for the climate instead of just their image.

Imagine accidentally leaving one of those things open and then ripping off the door by moving the desk lift thing
