Do you think Americans will be branded something like Nazi?
  • By not voting in Nazis. The people here are politically motivated and likely already voted for not-trunp, but did they volunteer, door knock, fund drive etc. We've all seen this coming for years. It's exhausting to constantly fight it. We need to, globally.

    Unfortunately, many are disengaged and are not prioritising politics. People are avoiding difficult conversations with racist family members. People are not forcing their non Nazi representatives to close the loopholes that caused this.

    Would I do different? I don't know. I hope so, but I can see how it's hard. I have a family member who is quite liberal and started expressing some racist views. I was quite taken aback and have only pushed a little. It was enough that they don't express then any more. But, could it be they just don't express then to me?

  • Do you think Americans will be branded something like Nazi?
  • Yes, but I think the point is that all Germans were tarred with that brush for years, for their tacit support of the regime. It’s the same in America at the moment. MAGA has corrupted politics and while many don’t agree, they don’t stop it. We’re all the builders of alligator aushwitz maga, or just workers that took money to make a concentration camp? That’s just a recent example.

  • Experimental Moderna flu shot more effective than approved vaccine, company says
  • Yes, but still needs to be submitted for verification and approval. As per the article, they withdrew the precious application for a combined shot. It's not clear if that's due to more data, or just that this newer one is more promising.

  • Jurassic World Rebirth review – Scarlett Johansson runs show as near-extinct franchise roars back to life
  • With marvel, they were only starting to link a larger universe at that point. It wasn’t captain america 8. Each of the individual heroes has dwindles after a few outings.

    I think James Bond is the only major franchise I can think of that has maintained a level of quality with that many movies. There is some up and down and a change in tone and style with new actors, though.

    Ban pride events
  • Pride events are about acceptance (and tolerance). Without pride events, there are no funds for the things you want funds for. So, while having fun while people are hurting can seem wasteful, pride events ensure less people are hurting.

  • Dating advice for a single mom?
  • I wish you the best with dating and you sound quite mature from this and other posts.

    As others have mentioned, you might find it tricky to find someone your own age that is ready to voluntarily take on parental responsibilities. However, I'd also warn to be cautious of older men, as some have suggested, as you may find that leads to a power imbalance, especially if financial support is one of the things you're looking for.

    You've mentioned what you're looking for. I think it's worth reflecting on what you're offering for the relationship too. I'm sure you're a lovely person with lots to offer on a.personal and emotional level, but a lot of the post talks about what you're looking to, as benefits for you, rather than what you could both gain.

    I say this more in the way of again, being concerned that if you seek to gain these things from the relationship, or you see the relationship as something for you to personally gain from, then you'll find someone who also is looking for things in the relationship, beyond the relationship itself. If you've already been in an abusive relationship, I'd worry that it reoccurs.

    Instead of looking at what they can offer financially and looking at long term goals, of be looking at compatibility, friendship and respect as being the goals. If the relationship is to succeed and lead to financial interdependence and child rearing, it needs to start on solid ground.

    I don't think, like others that it needs to be something you raise before a date, but it's certainly something you would need to raise before getting intimate emotionally, sexually or otherwise. That's likely to lead to more wasted dates, but if youre leading with lots of reasons not to date, from the other partners perspective, it will be less likely to make that first step. That is not to say you should be disingenuous. If it comes up naturally, or you're asked, you should be honest.

  • In many US cities, it's illegal to build low-cost housing without parking.
  • I know it's common in my city, Sydney, for apartment complexes to build enough car spaces for the occupants. Part of the issue is that of they didn't have that requirement, none would be built, I steady putting extra pressure on street parking and public parking facilities. Residents of those complexes also have no entitlement to a parking permit, which older houses without spots do have.

    Nowadays, in inner city with less car need, the spaces required is reduced, with some spots reserved for car share schemes instead.

    So, like everything, blanket rules aren't great but rules are needed for a reason.

  • how do you exit from a video on ipad

    When I go to a post with video media, on iPad, there doesn't seem to be a way to exit. For images, they can be swiped away or touch outside to exit. For videos, ice tried different gestures and there is no back button or X.

    I use Android daily, with a back swipe gesture, but there is no such gesture I'm aware of on iPad. Does anyone know how or should I submit a bug or feature request?

    Using containers for different accounts

    I’m trying to set containers for some websites on a shared windows terminal with multiple users under the same login. We use some cloud software and each user has their own log in. Manually opening websites in container manager allows this, but I’m struggling to do so for opening in container for the home page.

    Each log in just launches in the default container (unassigned). I’ve tried using bookmark tree, which seems to support containers, but I can’t get it to work. Assigning a site to always open in a container doesn’t seem to work either as it’s the same site for multiple users (which seems to be the purpose of multi account container), so if it always opens in container A, person B still needs to manually open in their container.

    bug with exiting images

    I just recently got the 190 update pushed. It mentioned lots of fixes. One was image handling.

    I have found that now exiting an image is a bit slow or glitchy. A single gesture to go back does not exit and instead it needs two. Tapping an image instead still closes it but there is a delay that wasnt there before.

    I'm on a pixel 7pro with gesture navigation.

    bug - refreshing after data outage unresponsive

    My phone coverage stopped for a period. I was using connect at the time and a comment failed. I initially thought it was a big but noted after restarting, it still was out. Then I checked with a test search to find it was all internet.

    A few minutes later internet was back. Went back into Lemmy and refreshed. No data showing. I checked down-for-me for my instance and it was up. Refreshed again. No data.

    Again restarted app and it was fine then. So, it seems he connection outage did not allow refresh after it came back, despite a restart during the outage.
