This is not an Apple thing. Android phones use HEIC by default as well. This is a good thing. HEIC uses smaller file sizes and has fewer artifacts than JPEG.
Exactly. Android’s default image format is HEIC as well. Jpeg is outdated and needs to die already.
I’m honestly surprised it’s taking this long. I was expecting same-day justice, delivered straight to his face.
On my feed it’s just pictures of pets and people who I don’t know making lists of things they like. But to be fair, I just installed the app today.
Makes sense, cause as an American I can confirm that throwing bricks through windows isn’t a tradition here. When we’re mad at someone, we simply send the police to kick down their door and shoot their dog instead.
Like the others have said, use Voyager to filter out the instances and communities you don’t want to see.
Honestly, waking up and seeing my balance was the only thing that kept me from ending myself the day after the election.
So glad I invested when the price was at $20k and everyone was calling it a “scam”. Good thing I didn’t listen. Bitcoin literally saved my life.
This exactly. I didn’t join Lemmy for a long time, because I would search for “Lemmy”, get confused when I see a page asking me to “pick an instance” instead of seeing a front page, and then leave because I thought that they were all independent from each other.
It wasn’t until reddit killed my favorite app that I finally decided to put in the effort to figure it out.
You are hurt. You should go into the light. You are only safe there.
Imgur if you want memes, cats, and politics, but keep in mind that they’re not much better than reddit. No 3rd party apps, and the official app has ads & sells your data to Facebook. You can block it by using the DDG app and enabling App Tracking Protection, however. Also setting your phone’s DNS server to dns.adguard-dns.com. You should be doing those two things anyway, regardless of what apps you do or don’t use.
Besides this place, I also use Imgur and YouTube to help fill in the void after leaving reddit. I’m considering joining Bluesky and Mastodon as well but I’ve never used a Twitter-like interface before so it’s intimidating.
Unfortunately I still haven’t found a suitable replacement for niche communities. There’s always forums, but I got too used to points-based communities, and because comments are sorted chronologically, it’s hard to know what’s crap and what’s actual useful information. Which can suck if you need a good opinion on something. 20-30 years ago that wouldn’t have even bothered me, cause forums were the only social media I knew then. But times have changed.
CoD mobile is good… when played in an Android emulator on PC. It’s basically CoD: Greatest Hits, and it’s way better than Black Ops 6 (or any console/PC CoD, for that matter). All the best maps from the old games are there. Takes me back to the days of MW1 & 2 on the XBOX 360.
The only issues is that it takes some tweaking and the right emulator (Gameloop) to get a steady 120+ FPS, and it can take dozens of matches before game starts pairing you with other mouse and keyboard players (instead of just bots or controller/touchscreen users), but once you’ve established your rank, it becomes ton of fun cause you’re not just destroying everyone you match against. It becomes a legit challenge.
Unfortunately none of them have any fast respawn servers. By the time the cooldown period ends, the war is already over.
Hilarious, but if they actually assumed that then they would allow you to put different toppings on each half of the sub.
The wife and I slept in today so we went to our local taco shop called Maskadores. It’s basically Subway for Mexican food. Pick your dish, pick your meat, then your toppings. She had carne asada tacos with lettuce, pico, queso blanco, and cilantro. I had a chile relleno burrito. Literally a chile relleno wrapped in a tortilla with rice, refried beans, guac, cilantro, and pico. It was delicious.
Yep, most people are deficient.
Started drinking 500mL–1L of coconut water every day. Cramps are gone forever now. Learn to like the taste if you don’t. It’ll extend your life.
Bong and blowtorch, but no dabbing tool? 🤔
Sugar, cinnamon, and butter on spaghetti is amazing (sans meat, herbs, and spaghetti sauce, in case it needed to be said). It doesn’t taste like spaghetti; it tastes like dessert.
