The constant UI changes that fix nothing of importance and make using it less enjoyable.

A recent update changed the options for navigation from being able to hide the three icons at the bottom and swipe instead to make it like an iphone where you have one swipe up and it does things based on whether you hold or let go immediately and now the sides are go back swipes. They kept the option to show buttons, but apparently keeping the two options and adding this new train wreck as a third option is too hard. So to use my fulll screen real estate I have the joy of accidentally going back a page dozens of times per day, holding or not holding the swipe up the wrong amount of time dozens of times per day, and when I crop photos I constantly catch the stupid edge go back thing and have to cancel. At least it asks first I guess.

Why couldn’t they keep swipe up for three things if they kept the buttons in the same spot anyway? I am still trying to get used to the new stupid thing after a few months because the bottom buttons are such a waste of space.

That is the worst offender, but changing icons, how notifications work, and several other things are just annoying enough tl not drive me away but feel like change for the sake of change. I know some changes can require a lot of maintenance to have multiple options, but keeping a basic navigation option when adding a third should not jave been a big deal.

Be the continuation of a meme you want to see.

A lot of the reason for separate sports and other competitions is because of exclusion due to sexism, not physical differences. Chess for example was riddled with men who refused to play women, or share knowledge, or anything that would help the playing field be anywhere close to equal.

While it would be technically possible to force everyone together, a lot of the separation is so that training and knowledge transfer can occur, women can feel welcome to participate in the first place, etc.

Yeah, tankie bullshit deserves to be heard because of an open mind, but not fascist bullshit.

Both are bullshit and should be blocked.

I don’t want to end up in a bubble and only hear opinions I already agree with. I think I did block one far right instance entirely, cause I don’t value the ideas of bigots and fascists.

Hmmmmm

Edit: Apparently tankie bullshit is fine!

In my experience all comments in the chain after the blocked user are not displayed.

I want to block the users as a group even if the instance at which I am registered does not defederate.

Lemmy.ml and hexbear were the first two I blocked and have zero regrets.

I blocked a few others because the content didn’t interest me and my preference is to browse on All instead of Subscribed so I can find content in communities I did not know existed. For example I blocked lemmynsfw because I didn’t want the content to come up while browing in public.

I wish there was an additional option to block all users of an instance separate from the instance block that applies to communities.

Am American and welcome any kind of discussion. I don’t think any country or group should be immune from discussion, including criticism.

As with any country, we have plenty to criticize and we are large and influential enough that there should be plenty of discussion about the things we do. Especially our meddling across the globe.

The Multiversus approach!

I was hoping for Adele.

My disapppintment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

So the extra A is for ‘Asshole’?

True

Friends, including friends of family, helping to get a foot in the door for someone who is otherwise qualified is using connections and not nepotism.

Nepotism is when an unqualified family member is given a job that should have gone to someone else.

Prior to 2006, Breyers was known for producing ice cream with a small number of all-natural ingredients. In recent years, Unilever has reformulated many of its flavors with nontraditional, additive ingredients, significantly changing the taste and texture of their desserts as a result. Following similar practices by several of their competitors, Breyers’ list of ingredients has expanded to include thickeners, low-cost sweeteners, food coloring and low-cost additives — including natural additives such as tara gum and carob bean gum; artificial additives such as maltodextrin and propylene glycol; and common artificially separated and extracted ingredients such as corn syrup, whey, and others.

I have some Tillamook chocolate ice cream that was extremely hard when I scooped some earlier today. When we first get it from the store it is fairly soft though, so my assumption is that my freezer is set to be a lot colder than the one at the store.

Not sure what the exact temp is because it is a numbered dial, but I have a fuzzy recollection that it was about zero degrees F when I checked it a few years ago.

Took me about 5 hours to get through the winter intro story that is linear before it gets to being the open world. Not sure if that was slow or not, but it was a bit longer than I would have preferred.

I don’t think sides is the right word. Starting with an assumption of what the right amount of vacuuming is makes it easier.

The right amount depends on how fast they get dirty. She might have been right if her experience was with pets. His might have been if he was rarely at home. It depends on what their current combined situation is, and weekly or monthly could be reasonable amounts too.

I find driving two wheeled vehicles in cities scarier than on the highways., and stopped riding them when it seemed like it was more dangerous that it was worth because of all the other terrible drivers.
