I grew up in the deep south. Now I live in Japan, where tea is serious business. I will spend the rest of my life never understanding how I guzzled iced tea as a kid.

That feel when you have something better at home.

Only half-kidding. Every Trek fan should watch Star Trek Continues. It has fun for a while, including a cheeky sequel to Mirror, Mirror, then it goes hard and has a finale that rivals the films.

All while perfectly mimicking the visual style of the DesiLu production.

Its position alongside canon is that it connects the abrupt end of The Original Series with The Motion Picture in a very believable way. Visualizing the end of the five-year mission.

Resistance is rule (what is this ruleshid Microsoft?)

Description: Microsoft ad with a man on the right doing a hand sign associated with star trek and wearing a white t-shirt and black glasses with thick borders. On the left the text reads white on black " Resistance is futile - get AI-ready with Azure" Blue button says "learn more".

Buns has a record of untreated kleptomania. But Buns also manages his time very well.

[request] Help finding a war movie

I'm having trouble finding a movie I caught the ending of on cable TV once upon a time, and never saw again. Does anyone here recognize it?

Modern (~1990s) soldiers (the heroes) are pinned down. They rig explosives for some reason and use the radio to remote detonate them. Something goes wrong, and one of the soldiers takes a walkie talkie and walks towards the explosives, without any cover, to use it to force them to go off. He has to get very close to them. He gets shot repeatedly, and just before being fatally wounded, he yells "Blow!" And the explosives go off.

Additional information:

  • On US cable in the mid to late 1990s
  • Modern war film, with then-current tech (Desert Storm-era)
  • Soldiers are outside in rocky/deserted terrain during the daytime in above the described scene
  • walkie-talkie is a military-grade CB brick
  • Soldier is a short, young guy who I've seen in a few other movies typecast as a low-ranking soldier or officer of some kind

This just popped up on YouTube, and I thought everyone here would like to see it. It's meaningful to me because I had no idea that Frakes was personally engaged in the fight against pancreatic cancer (because of his late brother). The highlights are:

  • Science Fiction is not Frakes' "genre"
  • How Frakes' wife (Genie Francis) almost got attacked by a lion when she was a child
  • The Riker Maneuver (Frakes is still a little embarrassed)
  • Why Riker played the trombone
  • How Daniel Frakes died
  • PanCAN's Purple Stride Walk (It happened on April 27th. Sorry, this video is a week old. They do have weblinks at the end of the video if you're interested in helping)

This wasn't an issue when the episode was released in 1989.

GIFV do not embed (self.voyagerapp)
submitted 2 months ago by aeronmelon to c/voyagerapp

Is it possible to add support for gifv when others embed them into a post? Or at least parse the link so that it loads a plain gif or mpg instead?

I understand if this is beyond your control, but I'm comparing my experience in Voyager with my experience in every other iOS app.

Text selection and cursor placement in a text field in Voyager is so inaccurate and frustrating. I try to pick up the cursor and a word on another line gets highlighted. I try to tap a word with a red line under it and the tiny replacement selection AND the context meant pop up at the same time. I try to deselect something by clicking on blank space and the selection cycles through menus with each tap before clearing, then tapping the same blank space one too many times reselects the text and I have to cycle and clear the menus again.

This has been a problem since I started using Voyager, and I feel like it's gotten a little better over time, but it is still a very different experience from a stock iOS app that is very responsive and accurate when trying to use my fingers to select something only a few pixels wide.

Is Voyager calling native APIs for typing and selecting text or is it something custom? If possible, could you just use what Apple provides and make typing fields as vanilla as you can? I've tried getting used to it, but it is exhausting some days.

Not to make you feel bad or anything, but this was never a problem with Apollo. So I feel like it should be solvable. But if this is something you've tried fixing in the past, or you're just having to chip away at it little by little (like the issue with videos interrupting scrolling) I understand and will try to be patient.

Voyager is still the best Lemmy viewer out there, and I hope it keeps getting better. Thank you!
