New York pizza culture is deeply personal to all involved. The idea of using someone else’s recipe would be repugnant.

Better title would be “Genetic algorithm learns how to make functional Factorio blueprints”

The issue: Certain website (like wired.com) will limit the number of articles a user is allowed to see before a paywall is forced on the user.

Proposed solutions:

  1. Allow the user to clear cookies for a website, resetting the limit. Possibly even introduce a user editable list of websites where cookies are cleared when the site is exited.
  2. By default or a list based on website, open links into “private browsing”/“incognito mode”, which should remove persistent cookies.

Additional information: many websites accomplish the paywall through the use of a client side tracking cookie. Removing the cookie resets the counter.

Additional removing cookies helps limit online tracking, keeping the user slightly more private.

Removing cookies does come with some downsides. If the user is logged into the website, removing cookies generally logs them off. Also, any persistent settings will likely be lost. Due to the normal use case of Voyager and Lemmy, this likely won’t be a significant issue.

On iOS: it doesn’t appear cookie data is shared between safari and voyager. Websites visited in Voyager do not show in the cookie list on the safari app.

Anything to add? Is there a setting that does this and I just missed it?

While all these things may help, the whole theater experience kind of just sucks vs home viewing. If it’s not a masterpiece of visual art meant to be experienced at scale (think Dune), then having to travel, being on someone else’s schedule, in a room full of people with widely varied movie etiquette, paying $10 for a box of candy, and sticking to the floor is generally a no go.

While not exactly what you are asking, check out Nebula as it has a lot of long form content that is not slop because they actively monitor it.

That design is known as “Ball and Claw”. It likely originated in the east with some symbolism, but when it went west, craftsman thought it looked cool and started copying it with minor changes.

Pretty sure this has been proven fake.

It doesn’t! The shell is part of the turtle, they can’t leave their shell like a hermit crab.

About to jump planets, what should I be taking along? Also is there anything I should make sure is done on the OG planet before leaving for a bit?

Based on the safety plan including “installing a location tracking app on the child’s phone”, the kid has a phone and could easily call for help or be called if there was a concern.

Children used to ride bikes much farther then a mile without even a quarter in their pocket to pay for a phone call.

bloated IT budgets

Can you point me to one of these companies?

In general IT is run as a “cost center” which means they have to scratch and save everywhere they can. Every IT department I have seen is under staffed and spread too thin. Also, since it is viewed as a cost, getting all teams to sit down and make DR plans (since these involve the entire company, not just IT) is near impossible since “we may spend a lot of time and money on a plan we never need”.

This will be unpopular:

Before or at the same time as we fix sub-minimum wage, we need to also address the disability benefits cliff. I personally know multiple disabled people that limit how much they are working so that they don’t hit the cutoff where all the benefits disappear, not tail off. Generally these people enjoy their work and are capable of working more, but if they earn a dollar too much, they are screwed, loosing access to a number of subsidies and medical care.

Love the app and love the work you are doing on it! Thanks a bunch! I am running into one minor issue:

Right now if you block a community, then search for the community, it shows, but it will appear that there are no post in the community.

Ideally, if I am accessing a community from the search, even if I have blocked it, I would still like to see the post in it rather than having to unblock it.

For example, I almost exclusively use “All” and “Home”, in “All” political subreddits can get over bearing so I blocked it, but when I want to go look at the community in light of recent events, they all show as blank.

Ideally I would love a warning on the search page that I have blocked the community, but clicking into it will still show me all the post of the community.
