If your redirects are all through a central point, then that works, but if it's done manually, that is a pain to change. So, if your provider changes or you move, it's a pain. I've moved recently, but loved at my last house for 14 years. I still changed providers multiple times, from dsl to fibre-to-node, to fibre to home.

If my email had to change each time I might not have been so nimble. Unfortunately it's a Gmail address and I am in the process of degoogling, so online mail has pros as well as cons!

Neither is your social security number nor your passport or dericing licence. Your email serves the same purpose online. Losing/changing it is extremely annoying as it's tied to so many other services.

I don’t know anyone that uses isp based email that isn’t over 60. Tying your on,ine identity to a service provider that is location based makes no sense.

I'm wearing some black ones. I love the sound cancelling. And the tap on left or right being different controls.

What if you don't think of them as people? Does that change things?

No, they are chasing short term profits over long term, at the cost of the environment.

Because when military people think they are above the law, we get dead citizens.

I think you're missing the part about airline fuel being expensive to hurtle giant flying metal tubes through the sky. Sure it costs more to buy a new plane than an old one, but it costs less over time.

Lol, no they don't. While talking about the dangers of covid vaccines, all of fox news and the maga politicians were getting vaccinated. Trump had experiment treatments for it.

If I'm annoyed by an internet connection, it's rarely due to one site. Sure, the onward connection is out of their hands, but they have choice of provider and deploy the local infrastructure.

I'd be looking at their recent declaration about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Cut them where it hurts his chances in the mod terms. Affordability all the way. He's very much a let them eat cake kind of guy. But with big Macs.

The article mentions increased risk in case of a downturn. Like the AI collapse that is expected at some point. Oops.

 

When I go to a post with video media, on iPad, there doesn't seem to be a way to exit. For images, they can be swiped away or touch outside to exit. For videos, ice tried different gestures and there is no back button or X.

I use Android daily, with a back swipe gesture, but there is no such gesture I'm aware of on iPad. Does anyone know how or should I submit a bug or feature request?

 

I just recently got the 190 update pushed. It mentioned lots of fixes. One was image handling.

I have found that now exiting an image is a bit slow or glitchy. A single gesture to go back does not exit and instead it needs two. Tapping an image instead still closes it but there is a delay that wasnt there before.

I'm on a pixel 7pro with gesture navigation.

 

My phone coverage stopped for a period. I was using connect at the time and a comment failed. I initially thought it was a big but noted after restarting, it still was out. Then I checked with a test search to find it was all internet.

A few minutes later internet was back. Went back into Lemmy and refreshed. No data showing. I checked down-for-me for my instance and it was up. Refreshed again. No data.

Again restarted app and it was fine then. So, it seems he connection outage did not allow refresh after it came back, despite a restart during the outage.
