I don’t even watch sports and I get buried in gambling ads.

Only started after moving to a somewhat struggling blue collar town, but it was immediate, and the pure volume of it was shocking. Really hit me wrong.

Adblock and VPN everywhere possible now. Degoogling, containerized browsing, hardened settings, like damn basic privacy shouldn’t have to be so much work.

You know… I’m not sure I’d recognize my own voice if I heard it

Nacho Libre

lol I know, it’s a silly ridiculous fuckaround, but it’s sweet and stupid and wholesome and sometimes that’s what I need.

I can and do appreciate artistry in cinema, but you didn’t ask about that. Nacho is one film I’ll just always be happy to watch.

It also got me through half of a stay in a hyperbaric chamber when I got the bends, and I’m very claustrophobic, so big credit to it there. Panic attack didn’t start until the speakers malfunctioned five minutes into Amelie, and I was suddenly too hot and 1000% certain the chamber was going to catch on fire and kill me.

Nacho soothes.

Ok. I find beauty pageants in general to be reductive and gross… but yeah. You can smell the stink on that decision from Canada.

I mean just look at Yamikani.

In no universe are they on the same level.

The regex redirect feature is another massive pro. I hope they bring it into Orion as well.

I already use Stop the Madness for this, and probably will continue to as it’s a more global solution, but having it built right into the search engine at least shows they’re taking real steps to hand control back to the user.

The irony in this statement, talking about a known depressant lol

Drinking for me is increasingly borrowing happiness from tomorrow, and the older I get, the higher the interest rate climbs.

I’ll still enjoy a drink, but have definitely become more choosy about when and whether it’s worth it.

My go-to is to ask what they like to do in their spare time.

A lot of the time you’ll get answers about how they have none or how it’s filled with chores, but you can always redirect and say, if you suddenly had a bunch of free time just for yourself, and you couldn’t use it to work, what would you fill it with?

In my mind the latter gets you down to what brings them joy, and in some cases how they want to see themselves, which can tell you a lot about a person.

Even if they did (they won’t), they can pry my mini out of my hot, irradiated hands.

I think the best we could hope for is a simple firmware update, assuming enough of the right people make noise about it. I’m sure Apple would much rather we all just bought new phones though, so they won’t do anything unless they have to.

Oh I didn’t mean to imply otherwise - Overcast is awesome.

I guess I worded my question poorly. I’m more asking if there’s any way to block trackers without blocking the entire podcast.

The stream/download just hangs, or errors out because it “cannot connect to creep.noteventhehost.fm” or whatever - just won’t load at all until I unblock and it’s able to do its dirty work.

Not sure if this is even within the capabilities of a client… I’m starting to think not, and that I’ve asked a stupid question lol

I don’t want to pile on, you guys are doing a great job

Immediately for me though, since you asked:

• ability to see which instance I’m logged into at a glance (memmy has this in the feed topbar)
• inbox functionality
• search (communities, posts, users, all)
• other user profile pages (incl ability to message, block)
• tap to open images, pinch zoom, save/share
• markdown buttons in the text editor

Missing from both:

• ability to hide thumbnails in compact mode
• text size scaler
• ability to hide read / swipe to hide individual posts
• swipe from device right to go forward (like device left goes back)
• own profile page with ability to see all my posts and comments, edit/delete, saved items etc.

Memmy was easily my app of choice, but these are some big improvements so it’s between these two for sure now.

Each has important features the other doesn’t, but both are steaming ahead at a record pace. I know all about how the tiniest feature can take ages to code properly, so I’m really appreciative of all the work being poured into making lemmy more friendly.

Especially for us who had apollo set up just right for all our own personal idiosyncrasies lol

Thunder is too far behind to compete right now, but damn if the front runners aren’t setting the bar high
