iPhone user here, with an ad blocker in Safari and DNS-based ad blocking. Don't assume all iPhone users are in that category...
This is because they are paid for the canvassing, right? I can't fathom a reason why to bother with this, if not for that. Other than maybe some Dem tomfoolery to skew the ground game reporting, I guess.
The intent is likely a self-driving car, self-spotting the homeless. This shit belongs in /c/aboringdystopia .
This is fascinating. I hate the treadmill due to the monotony of doing that for 20-20 minutes. If I could break that up into 5-minute chunks over the course of the day, it's less monotonous, for sure.
Investing billions
Weren't the headlines a week or two ago about Microsoft trying to get taxpayer funded aid for reopening 3-mile Island? Companies shouldn't be asking for taxpayer funded handouts when they are basically printing money at this point.
Fucking Woodward. We're going to be getting these tidbits dropped all the way through the election. This guy and his antics to sell books...
It's always to sell a book, never when it could actually matter in real time.
While you are struggling to make rent, we're releasing clickbait to distract you from who you should really be mad at.
They missed the 25-foot waterproof wall, for the actual damage, the storm surge...
Hulu is owned by broadcast networks, they could just be using the same media, pre-condensed.
It's for ad time. At some point, the TV industry realized though couldn't get studios to make "30 minute" shows shorter then they already were (for ad breaks), so they artificially compress those show times to fit more seconds of ads in addition to the ad breaks they already had time for.
So say a studio releases a 20 minute episode of content for a 30-minute time block, distribution companies like Hulu will take that 10 minutes for ads,, plus compress (by speeding up) the 20 minute episode, too. It wouldn't even surprise me if they use an algorithm to determine which parts of the episode they can speed up more aggressively than others, to hide that impact from the viewer.
Wouldn't matter. The only means of reversing this is impeachment of a SCOTUS judge, or him stepping down willingly. That's why things like passing laws for term limits matter, to at least eventually get these people off the bench.
Nope I'm just awful.
People on the opposite side of that tolerance spectrum look at us avid ad avoiders like we put in too much effort to do that, so I see it as two sides of the same coin. I started blocking/avoiding ads due to the nuisance, long before privacy and security became even more prevalent attack vectors through advertising. That was just a benefit to the time saved by blocking ads, but not it's a primary use case.
When developers commit source code to a shared repository (for integration in software people like us use), they have the often-squandered opportunity to summarize the changes they are submitting. Linus (rightfully) thinks this opportunity should be leveraged more appr9opriately and more often, with more quality.
Maybe the rug itself was evidence that was buried, separately from a body. Weird, but having 2 dogs hit warrants some scrutiny for sure.
Unlikely all 4 though. Give people 1-2 they can map services two, instead of multiple wasted (branded) buttons.
I appreciate seasons with fewer episodes as they are forced to focus on good pacing and less "fluff". But longer in between seasons makes you forget the plot. I like anthology series as they don't rely on plot carrying between seasons.
I learned my lesson from the early days of covid. Buy that good stuff i bulk as a habit, not as an emergency reaction.
Any way to change background color of CarPlay's "Now Playing" view?
For me, it's a light grey color and the text is white, even when CarPlay is set to always use dark mode. This is hard for me to read, but I can't find any way to change this. I'd rather just have an actual dark background when in dark mode.
Request: Make it faster to switch accounts
For folks using multiple accounts, it feels a bit buried to go from content in one to the other. It would be nice if the number of taps to go between different accounts was reduced by a few.
"Mark read on scroll" doesn't work reliably
I don’t know if this is the app, instance issues, or both, but I’ve found this feature to not work well
Feature request: Swipe through image posts in feed
I think it would be cool to be able to swipe left/right when viewing an image post from the feed or in a community and be able to go from post to post like a slideshow.
Swipe left to reply in Inbox just marks comment "read" and hides it
Reproduced in latest release today. When I swipe left on a comment in Inbox to reply to it, it just hides it. If I go to the All view and re-swipe left, it'll open the reply dialog. So it appears to only be a bug if you have the view set to Unread.
Accessibility abandoned?
Build 72 seems to be the nail in the coffin for font scaling. All text is tiny now. It's there any plan to support accessibility?
If a subscribed community has no content, it won't load
It seems like some failure loop. It won't load the community screen at all. If there is at least one post, it loads fine.
Request: Favorite communities without subscribing
Some communities will have a deluge of posts, which tend to astroturf the main feed. I loved the feature in Apollo that let us mark a sub as a favorite to make it easy to get to, without subscribing to it and having it hit the main feed.
Layout for feed
Can we get the option to put the voting buttons on the left? Also, view on ipad is truncating the titles when there is plenty of room.
Request: Feed view should remember last setting
When the app launches fresh, it seems to default to All instead of what I had before (Subscribed).
EDIT: I just found the setting for this. I don't recall seeing it before, but happy it's there!
Feature request: Better color contrast for voting buttons
In dark mode, when viewing the voting buttons, could we get higher-contrast coloring when a post is voted on? The upvote coloring is nearly impossible for me to distinguish from the default un-voted color (light blue vs. grey). I'm using the darkly theme, but darkly red has the same challenge. Using browser extensions to override this is only an option for desktop-only usage.

“The bottom line is that conversations exhorting Pence to reject electors on January 6th are not protected,” D.C.’s federal district court's chief judge wrote in April.
