I from the US, just learned about these today, and had a chuckle.

an essex girl was driving down the A13 when her car phone rang. it was her boyfriend, urgently warning her "treacle, i just heard on the news that theres a car going the wrong way on the A13. please be careful!" "its not just one car!" said the essex girl "theres hundreds of them!"

I need it now.

I need it now.

I’m not a designer, but I can appreciate thoughtful explanations from passionate people, and I very much enjoyed watching her walk through her thought process.

Further, I find steam to be incredibly clunky, and I’d love to see them adopt her design.

I don’t have any reason to not trust OP, but the likelihood of this conversation happening at ALL seems incredibly unlikely. Never mind that it is described as successful.

If true, this is amazing.

I’m surprised that was enough - don’t underestimate a kids ability to make their own pixie dust out of whatever they have around. Now there’s plant soil and sugar on the floor too.

The choice of light color for land … oof

It was like a magic eye poster for me, I knew something was there, but had to stare it into existence

To be fair, It’s also 4 am, and I just woke up

I’d love to know who actually has this honor - I would guess Trump myself, but Elmu is a good guess too

I doubt it - This covers your screen if you try to view someone else’s instagram post when not logged into an account. I expect OP just wants to see the post without giving meta their data.

I suppose I could be convinced, but my gut reaction is this is a bad idea. Most people aren’t security oriented, and would put themselves at risk with poorly updated websites that are an attack vector for bad actors… There’s a lot more at stake in regards to what personal data lives on your phone… the richest concentration of your PII.

Also, my battery life is already precious. And what if you’re out of cell range or the network is overloaded? Your site just stops working?

I just posted a feature request and thought it might be interesting to also post it here and see what the community thought.

What is the feature that you would like to have added?

When composing text, I want to select existing text and and format it, by adding a hyperlink or enriching it as (e.g.) italics

Solution

When I preselect unformatted text and

…tap to add a hyperlink, my selected text should be populated in the “show text” field.

…tap italics, my selected text should be wrapped in the formatting characters.

If I tap a wide aspect image, and rotate my phone to enbigify my view, the image doesn’t rotate with my phone orientation. If I escape the image viewer and then rotate my phone, the whole UI rotates. If I tap an image while in landscape, the image viewer opens it in portrait mode!

Ami experiencing a bug, or is this expected behavior?

I feel like this has got to be just me - at least one other person would be complaining about this, if it were a thing, right?

Lemmy search isn’t great, or I’m too new, and can’t tell if this has been posted here before.

The surprise is that this is actually a picture of bruschetta!

I’ve been a big fan of integrated bracelet watches since I started collecting in the late 90’s. This is one of my more recent acquisitions- the bracelet is so interesting!

I’m interested in knowing how many of you take your espresso black, and how many doctor it up somehow.

If you don’t sweeten, why not?

If you do sweeten, why?

[-] RustedSwitch@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

Exactly.

Owning Apple products feels less wasteful, somehow. I don’t replace them often.

[-] RustedSwitch@lemmy.world 40 points 1 year ago

security updates

They last (rocking a solid 4 year old phone)

They are rugged

The 3rd party apps are better

The interoperability with other Apple products is great

They are fast enough

Great accessory market

I’m familiar with the os

The os works well enough for my needs

Privacy - I am not the product
