Not a single person in this thread who says Hitler? Kind of disturbing tbh.

Not sure if it counts as technology but it was a Ford Focus.

I think it is generally a bad idea to support sites that promote hatred and fascist ideas by providing them traffic and content.

I'd like to add from a user's point of view. Firefish.social was advertised as the flagship instance and in the beginning everything was fine and nice on there but then they started to implement new stuff and this broke something leading to the flagship instance being down or unusable for most of the time. Days turned into weeks with the server not running or at least not without problems (only talking about timelines, not to mention other features like antennae or lists which wouldn't work at all) without any communication from the admins and no replies to direct inquiries. I eventually moved to another instance running a stable firefish version. But our admin also complains about being ignored by the dev team, so they decided we will be moving to Sharkey. And we all know that Kainoa is young, started uni last year and a new job - that's all fine and understandable but maybe not compatible with running such a big project. Which again is fine but also means that -for now- the project is not being worked on while in a broken state. I think this is valuable information for users and admins and it was good to hear this from someone in the core team.

I'd love to but would need a lot more training to do so. Which I fear I won't get due to time and financial constraints - you know, being the bread winner of the family, full time job, a child... But on the other hand, I do love my current job and it earns me the money to buy all the expensive text books, so I won't complain. :D

Was into mini painting for a while when my partner and his friends still used to play BattleTech. I did play a bit myself but painting was much more exciting. :D I'd love to get back to it - always looking enviously at the Warhammer displays in our games store.

My weird hobby is reading textbooks on forensic medicine and other forensic sciences. Like how to perform an autopsy, how to identify the cause of death, how to take and interpret fingerprints from different surfaces and such. I am a trained toxicologist but unfortunately only had basic training in forensic toxicology as part of my curriculum (and not working in that field now). 🙂

Hey... I've updated Voyager to the newest version (1.18.0 on android) but now I have masses of posts in my Home tab from communities I don't subscribe to. How is that even possible? Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a fix?

EDIT: Okay, thx everyone! Then this might again be a problem with discuss.online.

I have the same issue with Voyager on Android. Starts normally, briefly shows the UI but then everything disappears and I am left with a white screen.

Also already re-installed. Doesn't change anything.

It is also extra ironic, because one of the arguments for not giving artifacts back to their home countries is "They can't handle and store them properly."

Why is the BBC still using this disgusting photo for thumbnails? Could've just used a photo of Rubiales alone.

It is mostly complaining about the hardships of life as a creature without any responsibilities whatsoever.
