I’m just this guy, you know?
Feel free to look up the TouronsOfYellowstone Instagram account for a fun follow…
Precisely. I live near Yosemite National Park, and it would be an absolute disaster if there were enough hotels, campgrounds, and amenities to meet the demand. The demand FAR exceeds its capacity for tourists, but it would destroy the very reason for that demand if that actually happened.
So what did they do? Set rules for the number of tourists allowed in the park per day, and stuck to it.
¯_(ツ)_/¯ Sure, you do you. I’ve backpacked solo for just over forty years now, and far prefer it. Technology makes it easier these days, so it’s easier than ever before.
I suppose you’d have to ask the horse…
I do hike with a Garmin satellite communicator, but I disagree on hiking alone. I do that all the time, and have for decades. Just let someone know your itinerary, so SAR will know where to go, is all.
And these days, every new iPhone allows for emergency SOS satellite texting.
Cheers.
It’s a shame. I did pay for lifetime, and that’s always a risk. Looks like this bet didn’t pay off. The money doesn’t bother me - more the fact that there isn’t a portrait-only Lemmy app that’s a good replacement. If anyone knows of one that’s as good and will stay in portrait without having to put the whole phone in portrait lock, please let me know…
Categories such as “education” are useful for limiting access for specific groups of devices. For example, if one class has a particularly mischievous group who keep going off task from their devices, rules can be created to whitelist certain categories, and only pass traffic that are in these more straightforward categories. Just FYI.
I work in K12 IT, and the reason is that all manner of categories are defined for both blacklisting and whitelisting when creating content filter rules. So while “education” would not be used for blocking, it would be useful for rules to apply to specific defined groups or devices which can only access specific categories (such as education). Just FYI.
Honestly, this baffles me. I work in K12 as a CTO, and when hiring techs or network admins, I always let applicants know during the interview when I will make the hiring decision, and they will receive an official letter of regret if they are not hired. I always keep resumes on file, as you never know if other opportunities come up. Why would any organization want to burn bridges with potential hires?
Maybe it’s just me being Gen X, but not hearing one way or the other would prompt me to pick up the phone, and at the very least check back to ask if they’ve made a decision after a week (maybe two) if I’ve interviewed…
Dang, I guess it’s being investigated as a homicide for sure. Pretty weird for Bishop. The guy’s neighbor is a family friend, and she said he was being harassed for the past two weeks by someone, but that’s all she said. No idea what that means.
Here’s the update from Sierra Wave: https://sierrawave.net/homicide-investigation-inyo-county-sheriffs-office/
I mean, is there such a thing as a silent electric coffee grinder? I think I can live with it…lol.
My primary observation is that Baratza sells replacement parts for their grinders, and the parts are interchangeable in the Sette series, which I think is really cool.
Happy caffeinating!
Time After Time is underrated. Mary Steenburgen and Malcolm McDowell. McDowell, playing H.G. Wells, invents the Time Machine, and then Jack the Ripper uses it to go to the future. H.G. Wells follows him to stop him, and he meets Steenburgen in “modern” times (the then-current 1980’s.)
Fun movie - a sci-fi thriller, I guess you’d call it. Still one of my favorites, too.
Ditto! Was waiting for logins to get fixed on v.19x instances. Thanks so much!
That’s good to hear. Looking forward to the actual release update, since I’m not on the beta, and therefore can’t log into my home instance until that gets fixed. Appreciate hearing that part is fixed!
Thanks. I’m fortunate to live in the area, and just happened to be able to pull over and take this one. Not too bad for handheld, I think.
Yes, down for any v.19x instance for me as well. Avelon seems to be struggling to keep up. Had to switch to a different app to log into v.19x instances (using Voyager seems to work on any flavor instance right now). Been several weeks that Avelon is broken on v.19x instances…
Thanks to the dev. It’s by far the most polished Lemmy app for iOS right now , and I’ve tried just about all of them.
The pricing is like, a week of morning coffees, so I’m not really sweating it. And that $14.99 for a year is a great option at $1.25/month if thirty bucks will break you.
I’m happy to have bought pro lifetime, and glad you’ve put the number of hours in developing Avelon. I look forward to seeing how it matures.
Oh, just FYI, I LOVE that Avelon is portrait only while scrolling threads. I browse a LOT with the phone while on the couch, or lying in bed, and currently NO other app stays in portrait when sideways. I don’t know any savages who read in landscape. That’s rightly reserved for videos or wide photos, in my opinion. It took Christian YEARS to figure out a toggle in Apollo where you could lock to portrait while browsing text, and auto-rotate only for videos or landscape-only media. It was why I bought Apollo Pro lifetime, finally! But, here’s your Pro lifetime subscription from me, so thanks for making it the way I like it already… ;)
Cheers
Sadly, the article is mistaken (in terms of “failing”). They started an athletics program where none existed before, so they more than made up for lost academic students and replaced them with student athletes. New enrollment spiked so high, in fact, that hey actually had a housing shortage due to too many students, and had to provide emergency housing off campus in local hotels.
His plan worked for its intended purpose- to scare away any LQBTG identifying (or even LQBTQ tolerating) students and staff, and replace them with less tolerant people.
I had left a review on the App Store warning users that Memmy is still broken for any instance that uses late v18 or any v19. The dev responded that they would issue a fix soon.
Still, since I needed something that works, I tried a few of the many Lemmy apps. Voyager is nice, but Avelon is the only app that stays in portrait while I scroll lying down, so that’s what I’m using presently.
I don’t disagree. To have this controversy on top of that - ugh.
