All of everyone’s retirement accounts are invested in the market. So it’s not just those assholes who get fucked by this.

When I build with what is on the main branch, I get an error about invalid CFBundleShortVersionString, which appears to come from here:

ios/App/App/Info.plist

    <key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
    <string>$(MARKETING_VERSION)</string>

I can workaround / hack a fix by modifying the Info.plist file with something like:

    <key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
    <string>1.0.0</string>

But I assume that's not the right thing to do. What is the correct way to set CFBundleShortVersionString or $(MARKETING_VERSION) ?

When in Large Text Mode, information is truncated with ellipses "..." Here's a proposal for a better solution, which might help in regular text mode also.

Using Large Text Mode

In the feed we see posts appear like this:

The community appears as "green..."

This could show the full community name and post username, allowing line wrap, followed by a newline and the counts on the next line.

So instead of

O green...
^ 433 v 1 O 100% O 8h

This could instead show

O greentext@sh.itjust.works 
by user@instance 
^ 433 v 1 O 100% O 8h

Yes allowing line wrap might break the text at non-whitespace characters, but I think that would still be ok. E.g.

O greentext@sh.itju
st.works by user@instance 
^ 433 v 1 O 100% O 8h

Similarly when entering post and comment view

This could instead show

O greentext@sh.itjust.works 
by user@instance 
^ 433 v 1 O 100% O 8h

Then when viewing the comments

Rather than:

psycho_... ^ 14 v 0 ... 5h

You could again allow line wrap and add a newline between the user name and the vote counts.

This could instead read:

psycho_whatever@instance 
                       ^ 14 v 0 ... 5h

This should still be okay for wrapping long user names that don't wrap on whitespace characters. E.g.

some_long_user_name@so
me_long_instance_name 
                       ^ 14 v 0 ... 5h

Also user profiles do not render well in Large Text mode.

How is this a boomer complaint? Why does everyone need my email and info?

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 174 points 11 months ago

How does this happen? Like people on the forum get into some argument about the turn radius of some tank and how they shouldn’t have lost a game, and then it escalates until someone posts the tank specs so they can be right on the internet?

I don't give a shit about reddit's DP program.

The first two or three emails I was willing to ignore. But they keep sending these.

How desperate do you have to be?

It is worse than broadcast.

If you learn anything about screenwriting, there are certain patterns and structures you follow (like acts in a play) to accommodate commercials, like to build suspense and keep the viewer interested and not changing the channel.

Streaming never had this, if you look at shows written for these platforms. The writers either ignored or didn’t even know about these conventions.

Now adding commercials later, it is even more annoying to the viewer as the original material was not meant to accommodate them.

Streaming just keeps fucking up. I already canceled my netflix. I’m on basic cable for network tv and I just pirate everything else.

What the fuck happened to README.md.

Or man pages.

Or readme.txt.

Or a goddamn wiki.

Search doesn’t suck because people aren’t working to make it better.

Search was working great for years. Search sucks because they are fucking it with SEO and ads, and they like it that way because they make more money.

So whoever they are firing for whatever reason has nothing to do with their shitty search.

I would like to build a music player / device for an older person, not tech savvy user.

I have the MP3s on my linux desktop/laptop, but not all the metadata and cover art.

I've worked with RPi before, jailbreaking iPhones and roku. So I have some limited experience with small devices.

I'm wondering if I could obtain some kind of old/used android phone, remove all the apps so the home screen is completely empty, transfer via USB or ssh/scp the MP3 files (and metadata + cover art), then have some kind of music player app which would be the only app on the phone/device.

Then shutdown any wifi or internet connectivity, but still allow bluetooth to pair with an external speaker.

There has been some dispute regarding bagged eggs recently.

I would be remiss if I did not follow up on this properly, so that the lemmy community might come to some kind of consensus regarding this highly controversial culinary phenomenon.

Serious answers only, please.

I just cancelled my Netflix that I had for like 10 years. Total shit nothing to watch.

Now there’s a million services, everything is plus. Paramount+, Disney+, Nutsack+

Even if I wanted to pay for all that shit, everyone has their own shitty app I have to install and configure and have a login and fuck you.

It’s just easier for me to torrent what I want.
