Do you guys think this is a scam? in c/asklemmy

  1. 3rd party URL shortener, immediate red flag
  2. Non-USPS.com domain once you tapped it (which you shouldn't have)
  3. National service sending from a South Carolina area code instead of a short code or a toll free number
  4. Does USPS even have your phone number tied to your delivery address?

He was going to do those J6 pardons anyways, don't kid yourself. He didn't need "additional cover".

NBC considers households over $100k as "rich people". Sigh....

Google's iOS app now injects advertisements for Google Search on third-party websites in c/[email protected]

Yes but the difference is they were opting their readers in. Now Google is hijacking content without consent if the site owner.

Huge win for Internet freedom: Google must sell its Chrome browser in c/[email protected]

Misleading headline. They have asked a court to force it, not triggered anything real, yet. Google will fight it hard because its one of their most powerful surveillance tools.

People simultaneously seem scared of AI automating jobs, and of there being too many old people for young people to look after as they'd be too busy with jobs. Wouldn't those cancel each other out? in c/showerthoughts
[–] plz1 22 points 1 week ago

AI isn't going to guarantee those young people the income the jobs it is replacing would. AI as a part of capitalism is about cutting costs, not to be beneficial to society. It may have that as a side effect, but not enough to account for the economic impact of job losses on hose impacted by those losses.

I'm betting the House GOP leveraged that report staying secret as a way to get him to withdraw.

Death of 19-year-old employee found in Walmart walk-in oven was not foul play, police say in c/world

It just means the punishment is money, not jail. That's what it really means. Companies can kill people with negligence and pay money. People that kill people with negligence go to jail. And also pay money.

Trump confirms plan to declare national emergency, use military for mass deportations in c/news

I know. The headlines are all 47 will care about. As is tradition.

ICE and DEA are probably in every state already.

He'll be focusing on undocumented folks in blue states, first, for sure. But economists are already predicting skyrocketing grocery prices as labor scarcity is forcibly introduced by these deportations, either way.

My guess, he focuses purely on "shock and awe" by targeting blue cities with workplace raids rather than just going to literally every farm in the south.

Any way to change background color of CarPlay's "Now Playing" view? (self.apple_enthusiast)
submitted 1 year ago by plz1 to c/apple_enthusiast
1 comments fedilink
 

For me, it's a light grey color and the text is white, even when CarPlay is set to always use dark mode. This is hard for me to read, but I can't find any way to change this. I'd rather just have an actual dark background when in dark mode.

Request: Make it faster to switch accounts (self.voyagerapp)

For folks using multiple accounts, it feels a bit buried to go from content in one to the other. It would be nice if the number of taps to go between different accounts was reduced by a few.

"Mark read on scroll" doesn't work reliably (self.voyagerapp)

I don’t know if this is the app, instance issues, or both, but I’ve found this feature to not work well

Feature request: Swipe through image posts in feed (self.voyagerapp)

I think it would be cool to be able to swipe left/right when viewing an image post from the feed or in a community and be able to go from post to post like a slideshow.

[Bug] Swipe left to reply in Inbox just marks comment "read" and hides it (self.memmy)
submitted 1 year ago by plz1 to c/[email protected]
1 comments fedilink
 

Reproduced in latest release today. When I swipe left on a comment in Inbox to reply to it, it just hides it. If I go to the All view and re-swipe left, it'll open the reply dialog. So it appears to only be a bug if you have the view set to Unread.

Accessibility abandoned? (self.memmy)

Build 72 seems to be the nail in the coffin for font scaling. All text is tiny now. It's there any plan to support accessibility?

If a subscribed community has no content, it won't load (self.memmy)

It seems like some failure loop. It won't load the community screen at all. If there is at least one post, it loads fine.

Request: Favorite communities without subscribing (self.memmy)

Some communities will have a deluge of posts, which tend to astroturf the main feed. I loved the feature in Apollo that let us mark a sub as a favorite to make it easy to get to, without subscribing to it and having it hit the main feed.

Can we get the option to put the voting buttons on the left? Also, view on ipad is truncating the titles when there is plenty of room.

When the app launches fresh, it seems to default to All instead of what I had before (Subscribed).

EDIT: I just found the setting for this. I don't recall seeing it before, but happy it's there!

Feature request: Better color contrast for voting buttons (self.lemmyworld)
submitted 1 year ago by plz1 to c/lemmyworld
14 comments fedilink
 

In dark mode, when viewing the voting buttons, could we get higher-contrast coloring when a post is voted on? The upvote coloring is nearly impossible for me to distinguish from the default un-voted color (light blue vs. grey). I'm using the darkly theme, but darkly red has the same challenge. Using browser extensions to override this is only an option for desktop-only usage.

Sincerely, a visually-challenged Reddit refugee.
