Current Version: Boost Beta 1.0.22 (26)

Issue: When I send DMs, the keyboard always covers the message input box at the bottom of the UI, making it impossible to see what I am typing.

To workaround, I switch to the WebUI for messages (which is worse for its own reasons) or I write my message in a different app and then cut and paste it into the Boost message field.

Federal immigration officers in the Chicago area will be required to wear body cameras, a judge said Thursday after seeing tear gas and other aggressive steps used against protesters.

U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis said she was a “little startled” after seeing TV images of clashes between agents and the public during President Donald Trump’s administration’s immigration crackdown.

“I live in Chicago if folks haven’t noticed,” she said. “And I’m not blind, right?”

Every win matters. It's so important to see sensible judges.

This is some much needed good news to read. 💜

I know Terri's life has been completely uprooted because of all of this and so I wish her the best as she moves forward.

Some people have the audacity to say that Trump's policies don't lead to misery and death.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: “No one has died” because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: “No children are dying on my watch.”

But the data says and projects otherwise.

A study published in The Lancet journal in June said the U.S. funding cuts could result in more than 14 million deaths, including more than 4.5 million children under age 5, by 2030.

The United States could have been a beacon of hope and a model to look up to. For many years, that was the case for people and immigrants all around the world.

In a matter of months, that has all crumbled to its foundation. It's so hard to watch.

Some of her final advice prior to her passing:

"Focus on the present and make choices today whose impact will build over time."

It was on my watchlist for a bit and I finally got to it today. The themes were heavier, especially with Simon's (Jack Quaid) mental health. I couldn't say how accurate his portrayal of paranoid schizophrenia is, but it was more than enough for me to really feel for him.

It's one of the first times I've watched Jeffrey Dean Morgan in something since I stopped watching The Walking Dead (because of his character, actually). In this movie, Deerman is quite a mess of a human, but he makes up for it.

Overall, I enjoyed the film. I really appreciate how they ended it. I wish there was an epilogue so I could know what happens to Simon.

What did you all think?

I've watched season 1 through 6 and there definitely were more than one episodes that just left me feeling like crap... But there's so many incredible episodes intermixed, like San Juniperno, that has made me keep coming back.

Today I watched the first episode of season 7, Common People, and... I just can't. It's done me in.

I have a question for those who have watched the remainder of the episodes. Are there any episodes that end on any sort of positive note or are they all this dreadful?

Maybe it's just not for me anymore. I get the premise behind Black Mirror, but there is something about this episode that just kind of shoved me past a point that I'm not sure it's worth it for me to keep watching.

To prism.

It's a light sentence, but gives them time to reflect.

Monica Lewinsky on the reclamation of her life, bullying, and her podcast on reclamation.

I get that she was caught within a political scandal, but what happened to her and since then is so much more than that. I hope this video isn't removed because of what happened in the past. This is quite literally the first time I've seen her since the late '90s and it was such a breath of fresh air to see her being treated so wildly different than back then.

I thought it was worth sharing and I think it's important to remember that the people involved in "scandals" like these are real humans like us, deserving of being treated with dignity and compassion.

Yeah, affairs suck, but hypocrisy suck more. This is a private matter and people need to mind themselves before they mind others and their doings. What was done to her was terrible and I'm so glad to see her picking up pieces of her life.

In your account preferences, "Show Read" is enabled by default. If you disable it, then any time a post is marked "read", you will no longer see it on your feed. The app I use is currently set to mark posts I've scrolled past as "read." I'm not sure how the Lemmy WebUI does it.

This is a great tool to make sure you don't repeatedly see the same read posts on your main feeds, but apparently it also applies when viewing a community directly.

I was able to see videos at https://lemmy.world/c/crazyfuckingvideos until just a few days ago. Now it says no new posts for a year and I can't see any new posts.

I've never posted or commented in that community. There are no modlog actions against me regarding that community or instance. I haven't blocked the community or instance. My instance hasn't blocked lemmy.world. I don't think my instance has blocked the community specifically because my alt on the same instance accesses it fine. This problem exists both within third party apps and the normal Lemmy WebUI.

Does anyone have any idea why I am not able to see the content from https://lemmy.world/c/crazyfuckingvideos while logged in?

Thanks.

Oh my goodness. I love the spritely innocence of Sylphrena. Being an honor spren, cousin to wind spren, i cant help but find myself absolutely delighted by her mischievousness.

I'm reading Stormlight 5 now and this scene had me absolutely cracking up. I can't believe Brandon wrote this. It is so very Syl. 🤣😂😜💜💜💜

Syl’s eyes went wide, and she let out a soft “Ooooo …”
“New style,” the woman behind the counter said. “Based on an old ko-takama.” To their confused looks, she continued, “Female warrior clothing, very old, from our more savage times. That didn’t use the uniform coat, of course—and those had a higher waist, and sometimes a bow. I might have a picture somewhere …”
She trailed off as Syl’s clothing fuzzed and she was immediately wearing something similar. Syl rose up a little, her skirt—which was longer than the one she had worn in the past—rippling faintly. Thin, pleated, with the fitted jacket above. She continued to wear her hair loose, though she was one of the only ones in the room to do so.
“Nice,” Kaladin said. “It suits you.”
Syl grinned.
“I’d suggest,” the woman said, “a nice pair of leggings or trousers under the ko-takama for a Windrunner—or whatever you are—so that …”
“What?” Syl said innocently.
“When you’re flying,” the woman said. “So that, you know …”
Syl cocked her head, then gasped. “Oh! Or everyone will see my chull.”
“Your … chull?” the woman asked.
Syl leaned forward conspiratorially across the counter. “I could never figure out why these humans were so shy about the spot between their legs! Strange to my uncultured spren mind. Then I figured it out! Must be something pretty ugly down there, for everyone to be so afraid to show it! The ugliest thing I know of is a chull head. So when I made this body, I put one there.”
The woman stared at Syl, and seemed to be trying very hard not to look.
“… Chull head,” the woman finally said.
“Chull head,” Syl replied.
“Down … there.”
“Down there.”
Syl held the woman’s eyes with an unblinking stare, before adding, “I feed it grass sometimes.”
The woman released a shockspren and made a sound not unlike one Kaladin had heard from men being strangled.

Bwahahahaahh! 😂😂😂😂
