Last I heard they want to switch to another platform, and don’t consider it worth upgrading to 0.19 because they’re leaving soon so it wouldn’t be worth the hassle.

This is pure guesswork on my part, but they could be waiting for Sublinks (a Lemmy-compatible backend) to get up to speed before switching to that. They say that the new platform is “compatible with all Lemmy apps”, and Sublinks is the only project I know of that fits that criteria.

Another picture:

And a better shot of the yellow pin, since it’s at a weird angle:

Link to the music video in which the jacket appears (albeit without the pins).

Lemmy instances are able to censor words; it can’t be set per community. When viewing a comment from an instance that censors some word, that word will be replaced with “removed”. This applies to both comments sent by users of that instance, and comments sent by external users.

Blahaj doesn’t censor any slurs

Aha, so it seems that other instances do censor external comments for their own users. It was “fag-got”.

Lemmy.world censors only “faggot” and the N word. Lemmy.ml censors “bitch” and various slurs. I believe their users can still see comments with these words in (?), though the censored words are removed if they post them themselves

This is Philomena Cunk, a satirical BBC news reporter. They produce videos in which she interviews historical experts but only asks them stupid questions like “Were the pyramids built from the ground up, or from the top down?”

Doesn’t exist yet :(

Yeah, the average iPhone user probably doesn’t use Files at all. Photos stores all of your photos and videos, so it’s really just PDFs that go in there for me. And a lot people don’t ever download PDFs anyways, since you can view them directly in a browser.

r/OrphanCrushingMachine was a popular subreddit inspired by this tweet

This isn’t iOS, despite what the post description says.

It’s certainly not an iPhone - iPhone alerts have never look like that, and that isn’t the stock calculator app.

Some people rely on ‘screen readers’ (software that reads text on the screen out loud when you move your finger over it) to browse content on Lemmy. Some screen readers can read text on images (I know Apple’s does, not sure about Android), but obviously it can make mistakes and there’s missing context a lot of the time. Hence the transcriptions.

There was a group of people on Reddit who added image transcriptions in the comments of posts but it was rarely seen in the post itself. I quite like that it’s been more popular on Lemmy. For inline images you can add hidden transcriptions using markdown, but for image posts it has to go in the body of the post.

There are also a couple of other benefits. The post is more likely to appear in search results if someone searches for text included in the transcription. And if the image fails to load for whatever reason, or the image host deletes it, you can get the gist from the transcription.

Not sure; I’ve wondered that before too. If I had to guess I’d say people just keep naming future kings after previously liked kings - the first few king Louis weren’t all that popular, but later on there were some popular ones (Louis IX was named a saint, for instance, which may have boosted it).

16 is certainly a lot of kings to have the same name. I believe there’s 20-something Pope Johns, if I recall correctly

They just don’t want you to see the tongues licking the dishes

You mean 2 -> 4?

2^2 = 4

I made a beef stroganoff meme a couple days ago, and it seems it’s become beans mk2 lol
