I've no idea what those emojis represent...

That said, if you wish to be understood, then you might consider expressing yourself with language that's clearly understood.

Emojis in professional emails are very uncommon. Consider explaining how you feel with words instead. If chatting, then consider image emojis or only the most commonly understood simple text emojis. Uncommon or more recently developed emojis are more likely to be misunderstood and/or considered immature.

No need. It's already proven. And it's inhabited are tardigrades!

I really really really don't like where this is heading. Hell, I don't like like where it already is. 😖

Thanks for the parenthetical. I think all clickbait titles should have such qualifiers. It really helps clarify exactly what the article is about.

I'm not much of a collector, so the IRL figures made me giggle (and smile ear-to-ear). To me, it's quirky silly fun that perhaps others take a little more seriously. So sorry about that. Then I saw the Boimler character posing with Tawny Newsome. I didn't see her doll available on the link, but from the little image available... Oh my goodness, I absolutely adore her hair. 💜

I was wondering if this would happen. Now I know. 😒

Pretty sure Rubén develops this app on his own, and part time at that. He posts updates here, moderates this community, and bug and feature requests are reported here. This is a direct line. Not to mention that Boost is closed source. Community is great, but I'm afraid your suggestion would mean more work for him. This Lemmy community is a good way to get everything you're suggested without most of the overhead.

Lovely bird and incredible shot! 💜

With the server migration and the back end update, I really had high hopes. Haha. But alas... The All feed times out when I try to go to the next page with Boost. I went to the web UI and hit next it sure enough times out as well.

The secondary account I created doesn't have the problem at all.

I appreciate you checking into the logs before. I'm still really curious about the cause, but it seems like I'm the only one struggling with this. I don't really want to waste more of your time.

I will probably do a little more troubleshooting out of curiosity, but I don't have high confidence that it's going to be rectified.

As soon as I tried tesseract while anon, I was overwhelmed by the garbage post. Turns out I blocked it long ago on my account.

I'm all for defed.

Great news. I hope it was relatively non-eventful.

I see this often and wonder how much I miss as a result. Imgur links neither render as a link nor an image. I only know it's a link to an image when I view it the same post via the WebUI or another app. I don't even realize these are images most of the time and just scroll past.

Is it simply not being handled yet? A bug? Design decision?

I have finally figured out a way to poorly and incorrectly mispronounce "dólares" so that it would finally let me through the exercises that include numbers and money. There is no single word it has struggled to understand more than that one. And trust me, I am saying it correctly. Good grief!

What about you? What words does Duo refuse to accept from you?

Does anyone know where I could find comparisons of the various Lemmy clients available? I'd like to see something contrasting things like app maturity, features available, update release frequency, and etc?

I'm looking to try out some of the more mature clients since the one I'm using (Boost) has been exhibiting some problems for me recently. I wanted to narrow down the cause of the problem and will be trying other clients to make sure my instance isn't the issue. I'm writing this from Eternity (Nightly).

 

Is there a way to enable logs outputs? I'm getting pretty regular timeout errors on my primary instance of choice. I'd really like to know more details about what's going on.

Time outs (self.lemmy_ca_support)
 

Ever since things came back up after the Jan 5th outage, I've started to encounter regular timeouts. I will scroll past a couple dozen number posts and then it will stop as of there are no more. Within a few seconds, the application produces a time out error.

I use Boost for Lemmy as my client, but I'm not convinced that the issue is the app since switching my instance allows me to continue scrolling without a problem. And to be clear, prior to January 5th, I've never experienced a timeout in the app.

I'm curious if I'm the only one experiencing timeouts on Lemmy.ca. If so, then I'm curious if the admins are aware of any issue.

 

EDIT: I find the article interesting, but not in the good sense. I'm glad to know, but it only leaves me feeling achy.

I also find the down votes for this post interesting. The source is trustworthy and accurately reflects the US American populace. Perhaps the negative votes simply reflect how many, including myself, feel about this news in general.

 

“It revolves around safety, security, and, I think, common sense. It protects our children and grandchildren in private spaces where they are most vulnerable,” said Republican Ohio state Sen. Jerry Cirino, the bill’s sponsor.

 

Older article (2023), but sharing for those unawares.

The birds - which have been around since the prehistoric Pleistocene era - were officially declared extinct in 1898.

After their rediscovery in 1948, conservationists began collecting and incubating eggs from wild takahē, to prevent them from being eaten by predators

 

This kid really is incredible! I heard him and his mother interviewed today on All Things Considered. Managed to find this Audubon article to show my family. It links TikTok videos that show off what he can do. I don't really know how to share those directly and they often don't work for me because of registration requirements. I think they should work for at least one listen for you all though.

How do you teach a bird how, and where, to fly?

The distinctive Northern Bald Ibis, hunted essentially to extinction by the 17th century, was revived by breeding and rewilding efforts over the last two decades. But the birds — known for their distinctive black-and-iridescent green plumage, bald red head and long curved beak — don’t instinctively know which direction to fly to migrate without the guidance of wild-born elders. So a team of scientists and conservationists stepped in as foster parents and flight instructors.

“We have to teach them the migration route,” said biologist Johannes Fritz.
