FedEx has absolutely no clue what 'economy' means. in c/mildlyinfuriating

Airlines do in fact use excess cargo space to ship things for shipping companies / postal services. I’ve also heard before (I can’t verify though), that airlines are more than happy to leave your luggage behind if it means they can squeeze on one more piece of cargo since the cargo makes them much more money than they otherwise would have to pay you for delaying your luggage.

I mean, my wealth has more than doubled over the past decade. The stock market has been going absolutely bananas, and my retirement accounts have done well.

Illinois at least passed a law to limit the consent given when using a digital ID with a police officer such that they’re ONLY allowed to use it for ID and not snooping, but that’s the only state to do so.

[Feature Request] Share link to post / comment using instance of choice (lemmyverse.link)
submitted 3 weeks ago by subtext to c/voyagerapp
2 comments fedilink
 

Hi, loving the app!

Something I hope could be added as a feature would be the ability to set an instance to use as the base for all link creation. As an example, I would like to always share Lemmy.world links when I’m sending links to posts to my friends. Currently, the share button shares the canonical link to wherever the OP’s home instance is.

There is a web app called Lemmyverse.link that will create Lemmy.world links from any Lemmy link, but it would be extremely convenient if this functionality were built into Voyager.

Ideally this could be added as a feature to Lemmy, but in the meantime, I’m hoping it could be added to Voyager!

Feature request: share link using currently logged in instance URL (self.voyagerapp)

When sharing a post, the app defaults to using the URL from the home instance of the poster. I’d prefer to share the link as it exists from my home instance.

Recommendations for cappuccino mugs (self.espresso)
 

With the state of Amazon currently, I can’t tell what is good and what is crap on there anymore. So I wanted to ask you fine people if you had any recommendations on cappuccino mugs. Not super worried about cost, but also don’t want to break the bank for some mugs.

Any recommendations / thoughts appreciated!

Please help me to get started (self.espresso)
 

Hello!

I recently got a new espresso machine (a Breville Barista Express if that helps at all), and I have no idea how to get started picking espresso beans. I think I’d like a milder, darker roast for either lattes / cappuccinos but also good for drinking straight.

Where do I even go about finding a good bag of beans? Are there any recommended sites? Do you just go to your grocery store?

Any other advice for a brand-new first timer?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
