  • Porn isn’t going anywhere. LoL

    Give Project 2025 a read. Wild things in there.

    Gay marriage? It’s already dangerous to just come out, let alone get married.

    Thanks to who?

    And contraception? They’ren already losing that one too in many states thanks to local governments anyway.

    Literally a direct cause of the last Trump administration.







  • Some forward thinking - which we all know is most definitely not a thing when it comes to suburban development patterns - would see these installed from the beginning to ultimately save money long term on maintenance and upgrades.

    Since the suburbs are an unsustainable Ponzi scheme designed to cram as much money out as possible though, they will go for the cheapest up-front option, total lifetime cost be damned.


  • The municipality I lived in previously had a really interesting project where they were trying to improve the lifecycle of underground infrastructure.

    Instead of digging up the ground, putting in/repairing something/whatever, and then covering it up, they were going to install a permanent ‘infrastructure tunnel’ which could have installations and repairs be done without digging up and covering.

    If successful, this kind of seems like what the shipping container did to the shipping industry, an incredible efficiency play.





  • As promised, some feature requests:

    • When replying on the view comment reply from inbox-screen, when submitting response, the screen does not update with the new comment. This would be a nice addition to have!
    • When on the view comment from profile-screen, I often find myself wanting to read the parent of the active comment as well as the comment itself. Additionally, it would be nice to also be able to see ‘sibling comments’, other replies to the comment that this was a reply of.
    • When making posts under less-than-ideal clients side network conditions/unstable server conditions, the post can sometimes become many times duplicated, potentially by some retrying mechanism. This can be a bit of a mess, and it would be nice if retries were for non-mutating API calls only, or if possible from the Lemmy server’s side, add idempotency so that duplicates get discarded.

    Thanks again for a great app!

    EDIT: Bonus - when posting, the total comment for post-counter does not update to reflect the new state/fetch the new count. It would be a nice touch to have this update.






  • I think global warming as a term is not great, because it fails at communicating the end result of the overall average temperature increase, which is more chaotic weather on account of the increased energy present in the system. Sometimes this will mean temporary local reductions in temperature, and sometimes it will mean unusually cold years in places. Don’t give people the option to use ‘bUt iT’s cOlDeR tHiS yEAr sO hOw cAn gLoBaL wArMiNg bE rEaL’ as an easy argument.

    Climate change is the more accurate term, but I do prefer terms that more accurately communicate the severity of the situation, such as the climate crisis, for example.
