Those are horrible. The captions are down there, and the movie is up there. And sometimes the arm goes limp and you have to prop it up again. And where do you suppose I put my drink? On the floor?

Smaller phones do have a place though. I've got a 7-year old son with Type 1 diabetes. We wears a Glucose Monitor that requires a Bluetooth connection to get a reading. He needs to carry a mobile phone for this reason, and because of his size, and the fact that he needs to carry it basically all the time, a smaller phone is best. He does not need a camera, or to browse social media.

This app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather when I had it installed has an option to make the weather notification permanent (persistent).

This app seems to have been sold since I last installed it.

I don't think you can get widgets on the usual Android lockscreen anymore. What I used to do was make the weather app have a persistent notification, and have that notification showing on the lockscreen.

It's this end of tipping culture?

The link works now, but doesn't show the goal

The World Cup could be referring to so many things!

We have the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023, Mens Rugby World Cup 2023, Netball World Cup 2023, Mens Cricket World Cup 2023. And there's probably more.

I don't really watch more than 2 hours per day. Sometimes I just watch the 1 episode, and if I've started it earlier enough, then I might be able to sneak in another episode before I get into bed.

I've generally stopped watching movies because they're too long. I prefer the shorter episodes of TV shows.

Every now and then when I'm in the mood for a movie I'm looking for 90 minute movies. Otherwise I doze off

I think this problem could be partly solved with the option to curate your own feeds. Currently I am using Connect for Lemmy, and I see 3 feeds, Subscribed, Local, and All. It would be good to be able to create a new feed and populate it with content from specific communities.

And going even further, I should be able to make my feed public, so other people can subscribe to my custom feed too.

Maybe this is already an option with some of the other Lemmy apps?

 

Have been seeing plenty of old news articles popping up here. Is this someone from Reddit trying to undermine Lemmy as a source for up-to-date football news?

 

I have always wondered why the Melling line was not extended to connect with the Wairarapa line at Manor Park. Now it could be a possibility.

And we may have missed an opportunity to relocate the Melling Station onto the other side of the river on the Riverbank car park, closer to the Lower Hutt CBD. We could still retain the car parking as it is, and have the new station on raised platforms, with the cars below. But I'm not a geotechnical engineer.
