It makes no sense!! Like… add a cooling down period between the two features.

Over eight years, the Apple Watch has sensibly evolved—activity rings, rest-day pauses, Walkie Talkie, widget redesign—and become an indispensable daily companion. Yet its clever hand-washing feature from watchOS 7 is plagued by incessant false “loud environment” alerts from hand dryers and repeated dish-washing triggers that never get fixed. It’s baffling that a device capable of life-saving crash detection can’t handle drying your hands, making me suspect Apple’s engineers never actually wash theirs.

It's kinda crazy that "THE" launch title for S2 is Mario Kart. I get it's sold like gangbusters on Switch, but I thought for sure DK Bananza was going to be a launch title. Ends up it doesn't come out for a month after S2.

Is this the first Nintendo console (outside the NES) to launch without a Mario or Zelda game?

OMG let's hope not. We lived through that insanity w/ Milbury for too long.

LGI? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

NY has a bill floating around for this but it’s never gone anywhere.

Been beta testing this as a Kickstarter backer for many months and it's one of my top iPhone apps. Iconfactory has done a real good job and I'll say that if you like the app, $80 for a lifetime purchase really will pay for itself after only a year of using it.

The weird thing is that it doesn't matter what instance/server your friends are on. If they follow you, they'll get all your posts in their feed. The best advice I can give anyone starting out on Mastodon is to follow tags instead of people in order to surface interesting posts, then you can follow people as they come up on feeds.

I like this idea! It helps get people some traction out there without them needing to put effort into fumbling around how to do it. Kind of like a push start. I’m going to start doing this!

Oh it will as soon as the investors demand more ReTurN oN iNvEsTmEnT.

You got it. Good luck!

 

I joined up here from the other EV communities on Lemmy because it seems some consolidation is going on. Now it's looking like there's a ton of posts all from one of the mods and it's literally overtaking my feed.

For example, the top "hot" posts are here are SIX in less than an hour.

I'm all about getting the community active and all that, but is this really the best method? Spamming links to Elektrek or Cleantechnica doesn't really spur much conversation. Is it possible to just slow that roll of link spam and work on fostering more discussion?

So there's 2 files that go along with the main script: a config file and a download list.

The download list file is literally a list of YT channel URLs and any time I want it to get new channels, I add to the list. Conversely if I get tired of watching a channel, I comment it out or just delete it. YT-DLP just traverses the list.

The config is where the magic happens. That dictates how the file is named, quality you download at, location it's saved to, format, etc. You can incorporate SponsorBlock which is awesome and even DeArrow has an integration. I enjoy the logging feature so it doesn't re-download vids it's already snagged. Generally I'll tell it to get every video from a channel that's been posted in the last 15 days.

My destination for the files is a YouTube library folder I set up in Plex. Plex sees it just as another TV-like library and it pulls the metadata from the files, which are embedded by YT-DLP.

Hope this helps!
