But was $application.old_final the one to rollback to, or $application.old-final2?!

Sure, grandpa/grandma, time for your medicine.

Not to mention the benefits of versioning and being able to rollback! There’s something so satisfying about a well set-up CI/CD pipeline.

Added .webm support to the image viewer and image peek

This, along with the other image viewer fixes is a massive quality of life upgrade! 🙌

Usually someone who has obsessive behavior has something in their life that they’re not settled with. The brain sort of “gets stuck” trying to redress the imbalance of the unmet need; the coping behavior (in this case the trashy shows) doesn’t actually fulfill the need, but the brain’s still latched onto it as what might help if you just get enough of it, so the consumption grows out of all proportion.

Wow, this struck such a chord with me. It suddenly highlighted periods in my life where I’ve obsessively consumed (media, substances) with a feeling of no control, and those were often times where I was struggling with an underlying (often unrecognized) issue.

This is why Lemmy needs to keep tweaking it’s feed algorithm. I understand why many people rightly have a distaste of social media algorithm fuckery, but Lemmy doesn’t have some of the same bad incentives that an ad driven site like Reddit or twitter might have. A better algorithm will help Lemmy grow and surface interesting posts organically.

The recent feed change to boost smaller communities in 0.19 is a good start, and not showing too many posts in a row from the same community will be another welcome change.

While I’m sure there will be a lot of false starts with this tech and it will take a while to iron out the kinks, I’ve been waiting for something like this for a long time. This will probably be similar to the switch from small, limited world maps in games to expansive open-worlds. It’s going to be a massive boost to immersion and will probably lead to some hilarious bugs/unexpected behaviours. Can’t wait!

Ah, that’s fair. I’m a pretty casual player and didn’t really go deep beyond the medium skill levels, so I didn’t really appreciate the cut-corners beyond that. I hardly even played much multiplayer TBH, I played and loved the single-player campaigns, which is what I tend to do on most games :D

I saw that announcement video when it first came out and was super hyped for The Division. I didn’t end up playing it until around 2019 and I was really impressed with how close to the trailer the actual gameplay was. I know it had some controversy, but I guess I’m easy to impress lol

because I also host an instance

Ah! That rules out filtering. I don’t envy what you have to trawl through all the garbage to keep the rest of us safe!

I totally get what you’re saying, and those things drive me up the wall too.

I’ve ended up curating my feed heavily, blocking and filtering words, users and communities that don’t interest me. Since then, I rarely see any of the whining. If your client supports filtering by keyword, it might dramatically improve your Lemmy experience :)

OMG, LilDumpy left another comment! 📸

Great idea :)

Ironically this image is doing what the influencer is supposed to be doing, which is ragebaiting for virality. I’m pretty sure the cigarettes in last two pictures are completely photoshopped precisely so that people fume and rant. I’m willing to bet the captions in the entire set of images is made up. Where did you find this post, OP?

@[email protected] would you be able to confirm if this is Sync-specific functionality, and if it is intended please? Thanks!

You are right, I’ve experienced the same thing. I’ve tried disabling all Sync settings relating to swipe actions and even enabled the setting to open the drawer instead of exiting when hitting the Android back button. No other apps have this gesture, and I’ve verified this is not an Android/Samsung setting. This seems like a big.

Oh, flat-tery! I was puzzled for the longest time

Neat, the customization does help make it look a lot better than the defaults. I wonder why they didn’t just make this the new UI.

I did not know that, I’ll check out the other options, thanks!
