It does get disabled to the Quarterback, however I believe the Head Coach can flip between channels to talk to Offensive and/or Defensive coordinators during the play.

I doubt Reddit builds a decent search engine, that doesn’t actually help them at all.
If users can search, they find a previous post pertaining to what they want to see/know and they move on.
If there’s no search, users can’t find old posts or comments so they make new posts about a previously posted topic and more comments are made as other users react. That’s more content, even if low quality from a user perspective, that shows engagement which can be sold to advertisers.

That’s before considering the engineering effort it takes to make a good search engine, constantly fine tune that algorithm, and try to outpace those that are trying to game the search algorithm.

Sunday afternoon, after careful evaluation of a significant security concern, we made the intentional decision to sever our ties to the internet.

I feel like most big announcements like this end up being Ransomware. Cutting off from the wider internet feels like a weird move to defend/mitigate that? Unless it’s to reduce exfiltration?

Gfycat is shutting down and deleting their content on September 1st.

I have something like that as well. Skiing and swimming make me feel like that, in different ways.

I’m a lifelong skier, and raced for a couple of years in high school which really improved my general skiing skills, comfort, and confidence. When I’m skiing, I can get to the top of a mountain with an incredible view, I can better see just how vast that little section of the world is. I feel small but at the same time I feel like I can conquer anything, the only thing that can hold me back is a willingness to try.

I’m also a lifelong swimmer, and raced at an amateur level for a about a decade between middle school, high school, and college. It feels amazing to be comfortable and move well in an environment that’s almost totally not for humans. It feels like what I imagine being able to fly would, and unlocks a whole new world of otherwise unconventional movements and if you take it to a large pond/lake/ocean weird and amazing creatures as well. That can be amplified even more by doing things like snorkeling, even more curious creatures and structures, not needing to break the immersion to breath. It’s a world unlike anything else.

Edit: Sorry about the spam, this seemed to be failing while on Airplane WiFi, so I kept resubmitting not realizing each was actually submitted.

The Stage - Avenged Sevenfold

It’s a metal album with a pretty big departure from their normal sound (going from more traditional Heavy Metal to more Progressive Metal), and dropping a Single (the title track, The Stage) then the full album by surprise. It’s their first conceptual album with a focus on where humanity is (in 2016), how we interact with each other, our progression with technology, and our place in the universe which is still very interesting and fun to unpack. The extended version includes their covers of songs they grew up with in Southern California, ranging from Spanish folk songs to Pink Floyd. It’s fantastic to hear a band truly enjoy expanding their sound and creating music they want and seem to love.

RIF developer pushing back on Huffman’s claims that RIF didn’t want to work with Reddit by releasing emails.

Not only did they make their own app, but there was an 11 year gap between launching Reddit (2005, granted smartphones weren’t a thing then) and when they launched their Official app (2016, well into the smartphone era exploding). And Reddit bought the iOS 3rd party Reddit app Alien Blue in 2014. It’s crazy of him trying to push the story that Reddit was never intended to be used by 3rd party apps.

It is probable that these instances follow in the footsteps of Reddit- the cycle repeats.

I don’t think this is completely the case. Some instances will suffer from overzealous mods and admins, others will suffer because of absent ones, others will have too strict or too lax rules. That’s unavoidable in any large number of communities. But Reddit is preparing and doing something that the vast majority of Lemmy instances will never do, Reddit is trying to prepare for an IPO and to have to show growth to shareholders on top of advertisers.

If that is something that could be done by a Lemmy instance, if that is botched it would be even easier for Lemmy users to jump ship to other instsnces and potentially defederate from the IPO instance.

Tree Style Tabs for Firefox gets installed on every Desktop install I use.

Sometimes I run into this as well. Usually I cam scroll up a few posts, and start scrolling down again and it works. I think it’s just taking the instance a little longer to respond than it takes you to scroll and hit the end of what you have.

There are over 6000 subreddits that are still not public. Looks like Reddit is done waiting. https://famichiki.jp/@Tsutsuku/110537730270070245

My understanding is that an app needs to register the URLs it wants to try to open before it can open them. This means Jerboa world need to manually add each link as new instances pop up.

This has already been done with many major instances. If you go to your phone’s Settings, then go Apps>Default Apps>Opening Links>Jerboa (or something similar, may change depending upon your phone manufacturer) you’ll see a checklist of all currently registered links. Check those, and Jerboa will start opening those links.

If you’re open to things similar to Plex, I’d recommend Jellyfin! Plex has been making some decisions lately that aren’t necessarily selfhoster friendly. A selfhosted instance of Plex still authenticates using Plex’s central servers (if you’re internet is out or Plex is down and you want to stream your own movies or shows, that won’t work due to failed authentication). That’s compared to your Jellyfin instance handling authentication locally. If you can contact your server, you can watch your media. Plex has also announced a credit skipping feature, uploading credit timing to their central servers that can be restored on complete rebuild. While they say it’s anonymous, they need some way to associate you and the proper credit timings, to send that back to you.

Jellyfin is earlier days in development, and you should check to see what clients are available to see if that would work with your hardware. But Jellyfin is definitely catching up, I’ve been very happy with their server and applications.

That epiphany is great. I’ve done some of my best work while standing in the shower.

Thanks for the recommendations! I finally got to them after a whole bunch of listening to nothing but the new Avenged Sevenfold album. I really liked She Knows It, had an early Avril Lavigne vibe to it which I really liked. The other two weren’t for me, but I appreciate the recommendations all the same!

Nuclear Throne. It’s a fun Roguelike dungeon crawler. A run from beginning to “end” (last level before looping) can take 15min and I’ve spent 100s of hours playing over the years.There’ are so many characters you can choose to play, each with its own unique special ability.

Reddark

I just did the same with Boost. I’ve been part time both here and on Reddit, nowi it’s time to start really leaning into Lemmy.
