I would argue Arctic is the best iOS app. It is smooth, has the features I value like custom theme support and gif scrubbing, and developer had been responsive in fixing bugs and adding features when possible. !arctic@lemmy.world
I'm new to trying Android apps but Eternity has been my main one with Raccoon being pretty solid too.

The "Jump" button currently does this. You can turn it on in App Settings > Appearance > Comments
Most of the options and layout are great and the scroll is very smooth. The only thing besides custom themes I would love is a long swipe in addition to each short swipe.
I'm trying out the eternity app and liking a lot of things so far. I really enjoy customizing the look of lemmy apps but so far seem to have pretty limited outcome with choosing a theme. I can pick dark or light mode but if I choose a premade theme or try to create one, it doesnt change anything.
edit: also, collapsing comments only collapses the vote buttons and not text 😬
There are 4 on different instances when I searched, the most active one looks to be !changemyview@lemmy.world
I personally havent tried it but "be the change" you know? I didnt see a few subs I missed so I made them (different account). Start posting on there and maybe it will inspire more.
I now live near a pine tree and don't know what to do with all of the pine cones. Decorations? Just burn them in a fire pit? Any ideas welcome.
Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested at about 8 a.m. at the Milwaukee County Courthouse and is in federal custody.
Hmm the beans don't normally get stuck and there really isn't a ton of resistance, so I wouldn't call it strenuous. It feels like maybe the amount of forced to scrub a dish kind of hard. It's not difficult, but the time it takes can be tiring if grinding a whole pot.

It looks like a cast iron burr that fans out over a dome shape
I've only tried it the one time so far but doing at a moderate pace that wasnt making me sweat and the finest granule setting was about one minute for 15g.

It was in pretty good shape to begin with, but I cleaned it and ground some coffee and it worked great! The top nut adjusts the granule size and made it pretty fine when I tightened it.
Any of you have an older grinder that you enjoy using or tips for using them?
Oh duh, you did say that. The only other thing I could think of is going to the way back machine and getting one of the earlier apps like Mlem or Memmy, or message one of the app's developers for a version that is compatible.
The dev for Arctic has been pretty responsive and may be willing to help you out.
GBB 2024, this was a crazy way to start the semi-finals. I can't wait to see more from both of these guys.
Normally I absolutely cringe at the "reaction video" format, but Dlow usually does it in a fun and informative way and not simply for entertainment.
He comments on a bunch of beatboxers around the world. What I liked about this video is that it shows people from all over and some doing some pretty crazy stuff. Some are better than others but I like to hear non-competition beatboxers to get a variety.
That's an interesting question. Many people are answering the question "Would people from 150 years ago think the quality of life is better" instead of "Would they think modern people are weaker."
I think that depends on how you define "weak" or "strong." Physically, I think there is less manual labor needed, so in general people from the past may look at us as weaker. The understanding of mental health and resilience is lesser in the past, but if conveyed in relative terms, I do think they would see how more resilient we need to generally be to things now like doom scrolling and algorithms that we are exposed to in the present.
Humans are pretty adaptable. Since we generally have more access to resources now, I would argue modernity has the side effect of hindering our sense of agency. Likewise, we are adapting different "strengths" based on the challenges we get in the present.
Huh, I got the same result when using the Lemmy Explorer section and searching for an instance with "Exclude NSFW" selected. If I searched by community instead of instance, it worked and included the instances you mentioned. Weirdly it actually included at least one community that was NSFW with "Exclude NSFW" selected.
I think a better preface would be "I was going to say a joke about the postal service… But it always has a poor delivery."
For those interested, the book Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker has very understandable details about sleep. He touches on the waste removal during NREM. He initially became interested in sleep by finding that Alzheimer’s was first predictably detected in changes in EEG sleep waves before symptoms of forgetfulness began.
They might be doing some maintenance because logging into my world account also gave me an error message.
Most comments seem to be focused on the logistics of applying and financial concerns. Those are important, but before that I would strongly suggest you evaluate your reasons for doing the program and understand your commitment. For one, interviews and applications will want to know this anyway, and two, these reasons can be tested when things get difficult.
A few insights: school has changed in the last few decades. Things are more lean and there is more expected from students. A big divide if you consider a PhD program is whether it is a researched based (eg R1) or teaching school. A research based school is more competitive and honestly feels like a business sometimes. How many papers can you crank out? Can you devote extra time to helping research professors so that you get better opportunities?
There is a changing (and unclear) landscape of software. Sources libraries and PDF organizers can be helpful. Most the students I know are using some form of AI to read or write papers, and they make edits and such. There is ongoing debate on the ethics, but people are using it regardless. If the precedent becomes writing papers at the efficiency of using AI to structure the papers, the level of expectations again rises.
Also be sure to have a support system in place. Things can get overwhelming and frustrating, and leaning on people when needed will be important.
Start with really pondering your reasons for doing the program and see if a program would fit those needs. And it would be a great idea to reach out to current students at least a couple of different schools to get their input on how the program is. There is only so much you can gain from reading the website. If it is really what you want to do, start looking at the requirements and email the program director or assistant to see if you’re missing anything.
Currently it’s a little buried, but hopefully could get uprated. You can get to that by going to the community, click any post, click the three dots, click Community dropdown, and then either Sidebar, Unsubscribe, Block, etc.
Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll definitely check that out! I found that when searching for “philosophy,” I get a lot of history of philosophy, and the ones that do bring new discussions are not usually picking themes that in all that interested in.
I have been listening to the podcast Twenty Thousand Hertz, which picks a sound or music (eg music of Hans Zimmer) and the host recommended another podcast called Imaginary Worlds. I cannot get enough of it. The host picks a topic and usually has guests to discuss it (eg Terri Pratchett’s Discworld, or how Norse mythology permeates present day).
The show tickles my sense for philosophy by asking really open-ended and thought-provoking questions. And the host quite often has a books or movies that I would have never otherwise heard of, such as Octavia Butler- Lilith’s Brood (aka Xenogensis) and Dora Raymaker - Resonance; which explore the experiences of black and autistic authors, respectively, and how that shapes the stories they create.
Not many things prompt me to think outside of the box like this show. I just wanted to share, in case anyone else could enjoy it as much as I am.
If you’re on iOS, Arctic made some big updates that make it arguably better than Voyager IMO. The biggest thing that got me was color picker themes, so you can literally make your own theme (and save and share them). Also the markdown is pretty great now. Voyager is still pretty solid and very good performance and features.
That might have been me, I always ask for more visual options haha. The colors really make it more pleasant to use. Anecdotally, the performance seems better with transparencies off, using opaque colors. 
Thanks for the tip for testing the colors. And sharing the preview. I’ll try editing my post to have the previews included.
Also on a personal note, make sure you pace yourself and take breaks. There will always be more to improve and sometimes I think people feel that they need to push themselves. It can wait. Two of my favorite Lemmy apps kind of just stopped flat, and my hunch is that the developers got burnt out.
I’m not sure where else best to post this, so please direct me if there is somewhere more appropriate.
I’m looking at getting cable again and still have a DOCSIS 3.0 modem. It looks like the biggest limiting factor is the speed but there are other mentions of “improved latecy and power comsumption.” If I’m not get a speed that exceeds 1Gbps, is the latency that much better for $160? I game a little online but hadnt noticed an issue in the past.
For that matter, is an AC wireless router is fine? The AX or Wifi 6 looked neat, but I’m just not sure the benfits are worth the cost. Any input is appreciated.
I’ve been using Express and had a great experience so far, but I may want to try a Proton subscription for cloud space and more emails. It also comes with a VPN service but I’m a little leary on trying something new. Any thoughts on Proton VPN?
I like the idea of a less profit-driven business that is maybe more community-focused but I wonder if they have the same capability as a bank? Have you been able to do your banking needs at a credit union? Was the customer service decent?
I made a low Roman bench out of a piece of bowling alley that was being trashed and some old fence posts. I fitted the legs with slanted mortise and tenon joints and realized that was a lot of work, so I did the other side with bored out round mortise and tenons, which was somewhat easier. There is a notch in place of a full vice, and I mad e a “crochet hook” attachment for wedging up large boards for edge planing, but it split so I’ll need to figure out a different grain direction.
More pics:
I also made a new joiners mallet. My other one’s handle broke because it was pretty soft. The head is a chunk of 3” thick red maple that I’ll use to make my full-sized bench top, and the handle is something dense (oak?). I had to slim down the end of the handle so it would fit through the head. I cut the curve of the handle by cross-cutting lines and then chunking them off with a hatchet and smoothing it off with a spokeshave.
I didnt have an actual mortise chisel, so I essentially had to chisel out the whole mortise. I plan to go back and clean up the fit a little better and smooth out the edges later. I’ll use both of these to make a larger bench to work with, and use the Roman bench as a sawhorse.
Pics:
The name originated from the English spelling of a French version of a Miami tribe name for what's now the Wisconsin River.
According to the state’s historical society, Jacques Marquette first described the region in 1673. The cursive M was later misread as a W by Rene Robert Cavelier.
The meaning of the word was discussed:
> However, the hypothesized meanings were derived incorrectly from the Ojibwe language, not Miami, because the latter had not yet been mastered by modern scholars.
> Another possible origin for Wisconsin's name was mentioned to WPR in 2019 by University of Wisconsin-Green Bay elder in residence and member of the Menominee tribe, Napos. He said he "was always told the name came from the Menominee word 'Wēskōhsaeh.'"
> The first part of that word come from the word "Wis-cu," which Napos told WPR means "something good." The ending of "Wēskōhsaeh" is locative, meaning "'a good place to camp,' or 'to make a clearing' or 'to basically live.'"
