Why were Trump's eyes so small in the debate?
  • He’s too vain to wear spectacles so he squints. Combined with the way he screws his face up like a child it makes his facial features look smaller.

  • Apple Intelligence - Supported Devices
  • There’s a risk of that backfiring though. There could well be people who stick with an older iPhone to avoid Apple Intelligence.

    Conversely, people will rightly ask if Samsung can bring GalaxyAI to two year old phones why can’t Apple bring it to a phone that it is still selling.

  • Add an a flair or any indicator when a post is locked
  • Yes, it’s hard to provide screenshots because without commenting I can’t tell if a Post is locked.

  • Add an a flair or any indicator when a post is locked
  • I have to say I’ve never seen that and don’t realise it should be there. I only tend to find out when I try to comment.

  • App Icon
  • Thank you 😃

  • App Icon
  • I like that !

    Would also make a good wallpaper with some blank space at the top.

  • Even if this app's development has stalled...
  • I do too. They seemed like a good person. There were some mistakes but everyone makes them

  • How’s this app now?
  • I do hope they are okay. I don’t think they are the type of person to charge a premium amount for lifetime (which was controversial at the time) and then stop development. They seemed honest, so I am concerned that something has happened.

  • Do you mean an option to hide the tab bar at the bottom of the screen?

  • English is such a peach.
  • It’s because the im isn’t a prefix but part of the word. (It was originally spelt empeche)

  • English is such a peach.
  • It is, check the OED.

  • Pro?
  • And @evgiz hasn’t posted in weeks. I hope everything is okay.

  • User icons in voyager
  • You should be able to see Avatars and profile pictures.

    What is the general flair/info you are talking about?

  • In non technical terms, some operating systems (eg iOS) will vouch that you are human. Which bypasses the need to click on things.

    See https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/iphone/iph4f43a30c9/ios for details of how to turn it off

  • [Bug] Subscription list is empty
  • I’m not sure. There’s been no activity for two months despite big bugs like the crashing and lists being empty.

  • [Bug] Subscription list is empty
  • Yes, this (and some crashes ) seemed to start with v1.08

    There doesn’t seem to have been any update since then

  • Look up Egg Theory. It will blow your mind.

  • AskLemmy temporarily closed
  • Putting aside that this use case doesn’t meet the five requisites for block chain use, the fediverse in general and Lemmy is already struggling with too much data being stored and moved.

  • How do you deal with the thought of having to work for 40+ years and then when/if you retire, you're too old to do much?
  • The answer is: do a job you like and do the things you like. I’m due to retire in ten years and won’t be doing so. I won’t work as much but I will work

    It’s easier in some countries than others. But the key is not wasting time on things that you feel pressured to do because of societal norms or because you’re too lazy to do anything different.

  • If there was more than one Illinois, would they be called Illinoises or Illinoi?
  • Basis becomes Bases Crisis becomes Crises Oasis Oases Echolalia Echolalies Etc Generally the vowel becomes an e

    Illinois Illinoes

  • What’s next for feddit.uk

    So it’s been five months since @tom@feddit.uk last posted and two months since he contacted @emperor@feddit.uk

    It’s seems like nothing much has happened and the plans for a replacement were briefly resurrected then shutdown.

    I guess we’ve all moved on.

    Possible Bug when opening app.

    Occasionally getting this error when opening mlem. Going to Communities and tapping subscribed fixes it.

    Beeper Mini not able to register phone with any UK SIM

    Can anyone suggest a solution to this. I contacted beeper on the email address given in the App Store listing but have had no response or even acknowledgement.

    I can log in using my Google Account, have subscribed and have given permissions but when it comes to the phone registration stage I always get the error “Something went wrong please check your network settings or try again later”

    What I’ve done to troubleshoot.

    Checked network settings Checked for update Cleared cache and storage Uninstalled and re-installed Tried a different phone Tried SIMs from different providers (Vodafone, O2, Lebara)

    I’m seeing other reports of this in the UK and Ireland , so suspect it’s just poor code. But does anyone have any more ideas?

    Some questions

    A couple of weeks have passed, the dust seems to have settled but there are a few important questions remaining. These give a little concern for the future.

    Is there more than one admin able to update the instance?

    Does someone other than Tom have access to the server in case it goes down or has a problem?

    Are backups being taken and if so does more than one person have access to them?

    Avelon won’t login to v0.19RC

    Hi, seems like a change to authorisation has broken backwards compatibility. Avelon isn’t able to login to instances running 0.19 which is “just around the corner” according to Lemmy devs.
