Would it be possible to create a webapp version of this? With ICE and CBP freely able to search phones now, I am worried about retaliation if they find this app on the phone.

I wouldn’t combine NYT and NPR in the same category. NPR has been broadcasting a lot of stories about Israeli attacks on Gaza civilians in both their news and long form podcasts.

The fact that Democrats should be raising their voices as loudly as possible against this admin’s moves but instead a sizable 10 of them voted to censure the 1 Democrat who tried to in fact do that, tells you everything about the Democrats’ plans.

At this point, there are only a handful of them who are rallying their constituents and speaking out about this admin’s atrocities, but the majority is completely MIA. Then they wonder why their voters are MIA during the elections.

The era of US-Canada being brothers in arms is over. I doubt US will be receiving any favors in the future without something in return. And if Canada chooses to expand their supply chains outside of the US, which they 100% should, there’ll be no coming back to a scale of trade as it exists today.

  1. Rampant unchecked capitalism of recent decades has created large wealth disparities akin to the earlier decades of the last century. It is no longer possible for one person in a household with a regular job to support a modest lifestyle for their family. All benefits especially medical for the whole family, being completely intertwined with the current job reduces mobility and further feeds into the wealth gap by keeping wages low. It’s easier to blame the powerless for this state of affairs than the powerful because the powerless cannot object.
  2. The fear of the other has been accentuated by media and misinformation. Targeted algorithms feeding most of the information that is consumed has created echo chambers that reinforce existing beliefs and fears. The propaganda state has never had it easier.
  3. The large military and police has given never before control to the state about what is allowed to be protested. Combined with the day to day struggles, it’s extremely hard to come together for what is right. The ruling class is able to maintain the fine balance between absolute misery and general dissatisfaction that it is still better to struggle through a thankless job than to say fuck it. Failures of recent large uprisings like Middle East and Hong Kong have reinforced the futility of standing up against the rulers.
  4. Evil has many heads and there’s always one head that you can find alignment with. It could be the deregulation of businesses, lower taxes, anti abortion, racism, but as long as there’s one thing you can align on, the general sense of powerlessness makes it easier to overlook the other heads.
  5. The line between evil and good has never been murkier, especially with globalization. If you focus on the betterment of your community, it would be considered good, but what if it leads to suffering of others outside the community. Is it also evil? What is community - is it the people in your neighborhood, your religion, your country, fellow business owners? The fuzzier these lines are, the harder it is to untangle them.

Progressives need to start their own party. The establishment DNC is so entrenched with big donors and lobbyists that it is unable to serve the people. Their balancing act of appeasing both the right and the left is just serving to alienate everyone because the final policies get so diluted. They have become too stuck in the quagmire of their own doing. I don’t see the DNC being able to change any time soon and through their inaction, will only enable more devastation of the country.

The new Progressive party should align with the DNC as the opposition during this administration but simultaneously run more like minded candidates in the next elections with their own separate fundraising campaigns. That’s the only hope I have for meaningful change to happen.

Current Behavior

  • there is a Hide Read posts button

  • there is an option to Mark Read on Scroll

  • there is a Gesture to Hide

  • There is an option to Reset Hidden posts

Issue

  1. When some GIF/video posts take time to fully load in the , I would scroll down to next set of posts while I wait for previous videos to load. As a result, I cannot turn on Mark Read on Scroll because the slow loading posts have not been Read. 

  2. Upvoting/Downvoting marks posts as Read

  3. If I want to hide some posts, I use the Gesture to Hide posts.  

  4. If I hide a post by mistake, using the Reset Hidden Posts option deletes the history of Hidden posts but keeps the history of Read posts. 

  5. After reading the incorrectly hidden post, if I Hide Read Posts again, only the Read posts are hidden. The previously Hidden posts have been reset are not hidden at this point.

  6. As a result, in order to retrieve one post marked hidden by mistake, we end up unhiding all the other Hidden posts. 

Solution

Provide a Gesture to Mark Posts as Read

  • This gesture can then be used instead of the Gesture to Hide posts. 

  • When Resetting Hidden Posts, the history of Read posts will be preserved. 

  • When using the button to Hide Read posts again, all Read posts will be correctly hidden instead of losing the Hidden posts history. 

  • Alternative Solution**

Provide an option to Mark Hidden Posts as Read

Finally, thank you so much for consistently providing the most amazing Lemmy browsing experience!

DSM5 needs to add Petty ~~Manchild~~ Adultchild Disorder as a recognized mental health issue so these people can get the help they deserve.

The same christians who got offended by this would also complain about muslims being prudish when they get pissy about showing their prophet.

One of the funniest things about most of these companies enforcing RTO is that their “on-site interviews” are still virtual. So you believe being in-person is more effective except when it comes to paying for travel expenses for interviewees.

Just shows the massive hypocrisy behind these RTO mandates.

I reached out to Roku support regarding this. The rep told me “why are you complaining. You are the only one.” He then disconnected the chat. I’ve reached out to my state’s AG to report this. No action so far but waiting. If there are enough complaints, that might help move the needle.

What Roku is doing should be completely illegal - bricking the product after purchasing it for full price if you don’t agree to waiving your rights.

He took the plea deal probably because he can’t afford a lengthy legal battle, decline to pay his lawyers, getting court dates shifted, appointing his own judge,… There is an entirely separate US justice system for the rich and powerful.

If CA decriminalizes it, everyone would be looking toward the state to see its success or failure. Opponents would try to find any excuse to shut it down whether in CA or other states. So if we can set up guidelines and necessary infrastructure for safe use, both medically and recreationally, it would be better for long term success of psylocybin legalization.
