Lmao that is a valid point.

Of course. And you realize balloons can have an advantage over satellites in certain situations?

Yep and just to note. There is currently a bug it seems where if you swipe too far, the gesture will have no effect. Instead swipe just a bit to reveal the symbol and it should work.

I feel that certain games can be like that. I’m big time into single player games with good stories where you can get lost in it all. I used to play more multiplayer games like battlefield with friends and it was a great time but it does seem those types of games have gone the way of wanting to analyze every player move and figure out how to monetize the player. Maybe that’s what you’re running into.

Oh heck yeah that’s right. I remember when tweetbot got the boot from Twitter and they made the ivory app now. I’m happy to pay for an app made by Tapbots… they know how to make an app. Checking it out now.

I sure will. Are there any good apps for it yet? Or just web based for now?

I’m just gonna be open minded about it and not jump to conclusions. I could see the US gov making it into a big deal for reasons and I could see it being a balloon to take pics of bases, etc on the ground. Both seem like logical outcomes. I mean it could be a weather balloon but I sorta doubt it based on what I know about weather balloons (I’m an amateur weather nerd). But I could be wrong! I’ll admit that. Gotta keep an open mind.

Ohh I gotcha! Lol that’s funny. I haven’t really checked out mastodon yet so am out of the loop

Huh?

Lmao is “toot” the equivalent of “tweet” on mastodon?

I don’t want a war with China, that would be awful. I’m just trying to be realistic about it. Seems silly to go through the trouble to make a surveillance craft like that and it not even have the capability to beam back any data.

Can’t say I believe that one bit. With how small transmitters can be these days, why wouldn’t it have one? Sounds to me like damage control. Not a whole lot of details in the article anyway.

It was made available in the update that was released today. So you’ll need to update the app and then when you launch it after the update you should be presented with it.

Probably have a lemon party. Hey hoooo!

God I hated all the joke comments that wound up at the top with thousands of upvotes. Just one big circle jerk on many serious topics. I’m sure it’ll still occur in Lemmy to some extent but hopefully the lack of karma will help keep it down.

Once again, freaking incredible. I look forward to testing! And might I say, the new icon is beautiful!!

Truly appreciate all the work you and anyone involved on this app (and lemmy in general of course) are putting in. It’s restoring that loss I’ve been feeling over the whole reddit situation.

I think it’ll take a while for us to know the real overall impact spez’s decision has made on Reddit’s user base. Until then, it’s really just speculation unless something concrete comes out (like financial reports etc).

Ah yep that’s the issue. I’m a big swiper and always tend to over swipe. I frequently accidentally downvote when I mean to upvote due to it.

I don’t have much experience with adguard but have been using 1blocker for years and have been happy with it. It’s of course not system wide ad blocking (it won’t block YouTube ads for example) but it works great in safari.

I love when I come across an app that just really sucks me in and actually excites me when updates are available. I check the test flight app periodically throughout the day to see if memmy got an update and when it does it’s legit exciting for me. So I’m def onboard for starting on the betas!
