Study: Bridgerton ‘most dangerous’ series to pirate in c/television@kbin.social

So what's different about Bridgerton compared to other popular shows that makes it especially 'dangerous'? Not interested in click bait

Return to office is ‘dead,’ Stanford economist says. Here’s why in c/futurology@futurology.today
[–] SquiffSquiff@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This is the second order effect that doesn't seem to have been at the centre of the conversation. It's all very well if you are an established company who took out an office lease at the beginning of the 2020s, you have a bunch of boomer managers who basically need daycare, and the HIPPO at the top is also a boomer acting all entitled about having people come back to the office.

It's something else. When you're starting a new business and seeking investment capital, do you think your investors are going to want to spend their money on office accommodation and ability staff like receptionists, cleaners etc, if they think they can get equal or better results without it?

Outgoing federation seems to be broken. in c/sdfpubnix@lemmy.sdf.org

Yeah, it's at least the second week, what with this and the 0.19RC 'upgrade' breaking app access I also have had to migrate

Can't login to Sync app in c/sdfpubnix@lemmy.sdf.org
[–] SquiffSquiff@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

We're now in the second week of an incompatible pre release version on SDF. Other instances have also reported federation problems with this instance. I haven't seen any sort of statement here about the situation or action to fix it. People in glass houses etc...

I came to Lemmy largely because of the Reddit API switch off and that's effectively what this instance has done...

Can we roll back to server 0.18.x please? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Thanks for all the hard work etc.

Like many other users I am now unable to use my SDF account with my Lemmy apps. As some commenters here have pointed out this seems to be due to SDF upgrading server to version 0.19 which isn’t ready and breaks app support- see

Please could we rollback to the previous working version for general/production use pending a working upgraded version

Thanks!

Edit: For everyone recommending to use Voyager, thanks, but I thought Lemmy was meant to be about federation. Perhaps others will switch but personally I am not interested in jumping through hoops moving my settings across because of an inappropriate version change.

Been using Connect for months, great app! I am in Beta program. Last few hours I am unable to access my main instance (lemmy.sdf.org) using my main account with it, I get error

Error An error occurred when retrieving from Lemmy. sdf.org. Details: type 'Null' is not a subtype of type 'bool' in type cast

I am able to access this using desktop browser. I am able to access alt accounts on other instances using Connect.

How to fix this?

Edit

As some commenters here have pointed out this is due to SDF upgrading their server to version 0.19 which isn't ready and breaks app support- see

Was the Android 14 update recalled? in c/googlepixel@lemdro.id
[–] SquiffSquiff@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

Yes the update most likely was withdrawn for people who had not yet installed it due to a significant issue affecting Pixel 6. You're missing absolutely nothing of value on Android 13 in the meantime

Was it axed (cancelled) it just never made? Personally not interested in shows about people I don't like doing things I don't like or don't care about.

[Question]: How to get Connect Filter and Block features for desktop? (lemmy.sdf.org)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by SquiffSquiff@lemmy.sdf.org to c/lemmyconnect@lemmy.ca
0 comments fedilink
 

I've been using Connect for a couple of months now and really like it. I'm using the Beta on Kuro's recommendation for some (for me) killer features that I am looking to replicate on Desktop. I don't know if these features are now available in the main Connect release (yet?) but anyway:

  • Filters: Exclude posts from your feed if post contains a filter word (regex)
  • Community filters: Exclude communities from your feed if post contains a filter word (regex)
  • Blocked instances

What's my most straightforward route to getting these on a desktop? I am using an M2 Mac, typically with Google Chrome, but I don't mind using an extension or a different browser for this.

I'm aware that I can install some iOS applications and can currently see

  • Memmy for Lemmy
  • Thunder for Lemmy
  • Voyager for Lemmy
  • Avelon for Lemmy
  • Milem for Lemmy
  • Liftoff! for Lemmy
  • ~~Lemmi~~ (not a Lemmy app!)
  • Lemmios
  • Bean for Lemmy
  • CheeseBot for Lemmy

but I can't readily find one which has these features and the mobile on desktop experience is not ideal. Also not keen on apps insisting on a login to even preview use.

I'm also aware that there are also android emulators for Mac but I don't have experience with these to know which if any of these might be suitable for daily use for my purpose.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

[Help] Where is the (block) 'keyword' setting? (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

I'm now at the point where my blocklist of communities is a multiple of the number of my subscriptions. A lot of my blocked communities have similar or even the same titles across different Lemmy instances, e.g., 'politics', 'news', 'memes'. New ones pop up every time I visit 'all' and it would be so nice if I didn't have to go through blocking each individual one each time. I understand that nobody has a working regex block at the moment but I've seen mentioned in several places that LemmyConnect has a keyword filter. Please can someone show me where it is?

Thanks

Feature request - freeze gifs in avatars (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

Would it be possible to have a feature to 'freeze gifs' in user avatars. As you can see from this example it can be really distracting. We've all seen what signatures and other cruft look like on other forums- see Ars technica etc.- and I am in the camp that anything that adds cognitive load but isn't part of the post or comment should be minimised.

Thanks

Thanks for a great app. Miles better than Jerboa and better than the initial version of Sync! I have a feature request (apologies if I have misunderstood something):

I have multiple Lemmy accounts on multiple instances. If I want to browse in a public place then I 'hide' NSFW. If I want to browse NSFW then I will switch account but I then have to also unhide and unblur NSFW. Could it be possible for these settings to be set in the context of the account rather than the app so that switching accounts could also switch these settings?

Thanks
