Always ask for an upgrade, especially if you're above base level on their rewards scheme. I got heaps of Emirates upgrades to BC doing this. Also, I once had my seat double booked on an a380, was a great economy with good leg room. If this happens, and the plane is at full capacity, don't fight for your seat. Arrived at seat, taken, check boarding passes, double booked. I told the lady to keep the seat, called a flight attendant over to sort it out, BC upgrade right in front of her!

    Apple don't let you change app icons outside of the app? I'm not sure what's stupider, apple or Reddit. On Android I can set my icon to whatever I like in my launcher.

    Did Anyone Ever Really Need a Smart Display? in c/apple@kbin.social
    [–] 1 point 3 years ago

    I have a Lenovo smart display (the small one) on my bedside table, and it's brilliant. I don't really use the smart features much but it's nice to just be able to tell it to set an alarm. It means my phone is free for watching YouTube or whatever in bed. Love that it is internet connected and always accurate.

    What I really want is a smart 'analog' clock for the living room that isn't the Amazon one. Have a large Lenovo smart display in the living room but I want something wall mountable that is visible from more directions.

    I have no desire for a phone stand

    just create your communities here in the fediverse. If they get populated, then you will be able to assign mods from your userbase. You're preaching to the un-convertible over there now.

    What will you do if reddit undoes API changes? (kbin.social)
     

    Interested in getting a feel for what people may be likely to do IF reddit reverses their decision regarding API access, or reduces access fees to a reasonable level and 3rd party apps remain sustainable.

    While I know the chances of this are extreeeemely slim, until 1st July there is an ever so slight chance this could still happen.

    From my perspective, the community harm is done, and those who have left prior to July 1 have left due to principles, not because their app stopped working. As such, I'd be inclined to think most of those migrators would stay here in the fediverse.

    But would we see a mass exodus back to reddit if the changes were undone? It's easy to say no, but if it went back to operations as relatively normal, it may be easy to justify going back for some users.

    I'd like to think I wouldn't go back. I've deleted content and account from reddit. I'll be happy here so long as there is enough userbase for some discussion.

    So.. I get this on some of my subscribed communities on other instances. I get some of the content, but nowhere near all. Is there a ranking which preferences synching of other instances communities? The more popular ones never seem to have this problem.. Or is there just 'lag' between instances and it's something that will have to be dealt with in the infancy of the fediverse?
