it would be nice if iWork used ODF as it’s really not productivity software if its formats are not compatible with the rest of the world no matter what OS and software one is using
  • I have used the Excel/Word/Keynote formats with iWork and it’s okay. MS Office is the de-facto standard format and recognized by Google Docs, OpenOffice, and of course MS Office.

    I don’t think it’s a truly open format like ODF, but you can be sure it’ll be recognized everywhere for a long time.

  • Commenters were shut down by people repeating Boeing PR because THEY already knew the outcome.

  • NASA Decides to Bring Starliner Spacecraft Back to Earth Without Crew
  • Thanks to everyone who shut down speculation. You were right! They are 100% coming back on Starliner. There’s no question at all about safety, and the only reason they haven’t come back yet is because it’s a perfect opportunity to study the problem while Starliner is still in space.

    That’s what the article said, right? /s

  • OP are you the author? I disagree with your rankings but enjoyed your commentary. You have good insights into intra-state social dynamics too. Thanks for posting.

  • A Totally Objective Ranking of US License Plate Designs
  • Yep. Iconic and looks fantastic on almost any car.

  • A Totally Objective Ranking of US License Plate Designs
  • This ranks California’s 10/10 design near the bottom and Texas’ 9.5/10 design way too low.

    The blobby multicolored designs ranked highly here don’t look good on an actual car.

  • What the fuck happened to YouTube!?
  • Plenty of adblocker extensions on iOS Safari.

    For YouTube, I’d recommend Vinegar, although the more general adblockers will also work.

  • NASA just scored a badly needed win: The best potential evidence of alien life yet
  • Contrarian opinion:

    Discovering that Mars once had life would be bad for NASA. It would mean that human exploration of Mars might not be allowed as it could contaminate the evidence.

    And it would be terrible for humanity, according to Kurzgesagt, because it would indicate that we may soon go extinct.

  • Safari Private Browsing 2.0
  • Excellent writeup. It describes the privacy protections in simple terms but includes enough detail that I can understand how it’s implemented.

  • What ios keyboard do y'all use, and what are your opinions?
  • I use the stock keyboard. It’s terrible, but so are the alternatives, plus there are privacy concerns.

    One nice thing I will say is that the word suggestions are actually good in the latest iOS since they are now based on an LLM.

    Bit other than thst typing is so inaccurate taht O have to go back and corewxt nearly every word.

    Swipe typing showing hello very much either. (Swipe typing doesn’t help very much either.)

  • I’ve been locked out of PayPal for years because of their mistake

    About 3 or 4 years ago PayPal added the option to buy cryptocurrency, which I thought I’d try. (Dumb idea 🙄)

    Part of the sign up process was glitched. I retried and clicked submit one too many times, I guess. Now I’ve been unable to use PayPal for years. They blocked me because THEIR SITE was broken, but the web page essentially accuses me of being a criminal and asks for my bank records. No way in hell.

    This was just for me to pay others. I can only imagine how awful PayPal is if you are a vendor.

    Fuck PayPal.

    “Failed to mark post as read” errors

    I see this error almost every time I open the comments on a post.

    My server is lemm.ee. Does it not support the “mark as read” feature?

    Apple Store across the street from an Apple Store -- are there any closer than this?

    Comedian Lewis Black has a routine about “a Starbucks across the street from a Starbucks”. Apple Stores aren’t nearly as common.

    Unless you’re in Glendale, California -- where Apple Glendale Galleria is across the street from Apple The Americana at Brand.

    Are there any other Apple Stores this close together?

    The stores are less than 150 meters apart, but unfortunately they aren’t within sight of each other. As you exit Apple The Americana at Brand, you won’t see the other Apple Store — only a notably uncrowded Samsung Experience Store.

    How reliable are EV chargers?

    New EV owner here. We charge at home so I don’t need to use them, but stores nearby have chargers. I tried them to see how they work. They are often broken.

    One store has a Volta charger (free!). It worked great the first time; the next time I went it was broken.

    Walmart has an Electrify America fast charger. The first time I went, 1 of 3 was not working. The next time I went, 1 of 3 was not working, but it was a different one.

    Was I unlucky, or are these charging networks unreliable? Has it been getting better or worse over time?

    What’s the policy for this community if we want to discuss current shows? And does Lemmy have a way to mark spoilers?

    How can I block a user from my timeline?

    On the “all” timeline I see posts by bots that I want to filter out. I have tried blocking the “lemmit bot” in Memmy, but I still see its posts.

    Link posts are missing links

    Some posts that are just a link to an article have no link. For example, this post has a link to an article which doesn‘t show up in Memmy.
