Its nice to be able to use it with a remote instead of fumbling around with your phone.

Also performance, decoding support, not burning your phone’s battery, etc

No ads, better performance, customizable

I also tried Projectivy in the past but I don’t remember why I switched away from it. I think there was a performance bug that was causing it to crash. Both may be good options now

That explains why I got “better than 0% of players” the first time. Even after jumping the wall, I got “better than 33%” :

The best score is probably 3

• 1 to line up the ball against the wall on the right
• 1 to bounce it off the wall onto the other side
• 1 to bounce it against the curved corner to get it in to the hole

Edit: Even 5 only gets you better than 41%

In higher education, some schools have a chain of escalation, and usually things usually don’t get to the point of actually doing a “trial” (although that does happen some times)

• students are innocent until the instructor suspects something
• instructors can implement the penalty that they see as appropriate, but the student can appeal to a higher authority if they think it is not appropriate (department, dean, etc)

Even in civil justice systems, guilty until proven innocent doesn’t mean that someone faces no restrictions until guilt can be proven. When two parties disagree, they will try to solve it themselves while the court remains an option if that doesn’t work out.

Our school actually publishes summaries of the incidents, if anyone is curious what students are getting up to these days: https://universitycounsel.ubc.ca/sites/default/files/media-uploads/files/SD 2024-2025.pdf

The Flintstones ones are very memorable, I wonder if the marketing was helped by the fact that the vitamins look like rocks 😄

That way when they are exposed to the air and begin to discolor (which is harmless from what I understand), it doesn’t become unpalatable to children

Context

Almost 305,000 doses of the morning-after pill were provided free of charge in England’s high street pharmacies in the first five months of the new contraception service, according to new NHS data (October 2025 to March 2026). This figure marks one of the biggest changes in access to emergency contraception in decades, putting a free morning-after pill within easier reach of millions of women.

Thanks, I didn’t know about them before today and this is probably why

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hail_cannon

There is no evidence in favor of the effectiveness of these devices. A 2006 review by Jon Wieringa and Iwan Holleman in the journal Meteorologische Zeitschrift summarized a variety of negative and inconclusive scientific measurements, concluding “the use of cannons or explosive rockets is a waste of money and effort”.[7]

There is also reason to doubt the efficacy of hail cannons from a theoretical perspective.[8] For example, thunder is a much more powerful sonic wave, and is usually found in the same storms that generate hail, yet it does not seem to disturb the growth of hailstones. Similarly, hail cannons are placed at ground level, while hail formation occurs at altitudes above 10,000 meters; a device with an effective range of 500 meters, above, would be unlikely to have an impact at an elevation 20 times higher.[9][10][11] Charles Knight, a cloud physicist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, said in a July 10, 2008, newspaper article that “I don’t find anyone in the scientific community who would validate hail cannons, but there are believers in all sorts of things. It would be very hard to prove they don’t work, weather being as unpredictable as it is.”

This is in line with how a lot of large open source projects are dealing with it

• don’t force people to use an AI tool
• don’t be a jerk to people who choose to use a tool with AI
• you are responsible for how you interact with the project. If it wouldn’t be ok if done by a human, its not ok if done by a bot

Neat!

Which fork of the interface are you using, or are you maintaining your own? From what I remember, the main Mylmym repo hasn’t seen updates in a few years

For sure, thank you for working on those!

Reports are sent to both the mods and the admins on Lemmy, and so we do see them, but it’s easier on us when communities have their own mods to deal with things.

Sounds great, done!

I removed the existing mods, added you as the first mod, and then added the others back. That way if the other mods return, you have support, but you can still deal with it if one of those accounts causes issues in the future.

Cheers, and let us know if you need help with anything :)

This feels like a time-traveller changing history scenario. I wonder what the original intent was

BERLIN, Aug 7 (Reuters) - A bus driver knocked an explosive-laden drone out of the air, potentially preventing an ‌attack this week at a German airport that serves as a major NATO and cargo logistics hub, a senior lawmaker said on Friday.

The man spotted the drone flying low while he was working at Leipzig/Halle airport late on Tuesday, then kicked out at it ​in what Detlef Seif described as a courageous but dangerous act.

The drone, which prosecutors said was equipped ​with professional explosives and a detonator, then crashed nearby, Seif, from the governing conservative CDU ⁠party, told journalists.

it looks like this was posted twice around the same time. since the other one has more comments and upvotes, I’ll remove this one

This is something a lot of people would like, but right now that feature is marked “not planned” by the developers since it would be difficult to implement. That might change if they get more funding / get through more of the backlog / someone else works on it.

You can see those feature requests and discussions on their GitHub page: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5110

You can totally send off multiple messages to moderators and see who responds first. I will say though that if it’s not urgent, the mod may just be too busy to sit down at a computer and get through those messages.

Personally I look through the profile and see which mods have made a post or comment recently, and message based on that.

😐

Personally, when I’m reading an article, I skim past the parts that explain climate change, unless it has some new bit of information (ex. updates to historical trends). It’s not because I doubt climate change, but because I’m pretty familiar with the core points already.

I think it is helpful to talk about it in longer articles where you have room to dive into the topic, and put the current topic into a relevant wider context. However, I don’t think we should require it for the sake of mentioning it. It’s not effective at changing minds when its done like that.

I agree that the last article should have included the wider context. I would also be concerned if there is a growing pattern of not mentioning it when it needs to be. On this last point, while it’s more difficult, I would prefer if they analyzed sentiment and phrasing rather than counting mentions.

I agree with the point you are making, that this study shows that there is a risk of people using these systems to generate biological weapons.

However, in this particular study, they created bacteriophages. Those are viruses that attack bacteria, and the focus of that research is usually around creating antibiotic treatments (fight bacterial infections with viruses that kill them). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteriophage

Yea I wouldn’t think twice if someone said “sub” or “sublemmy”, but “subreddit” would be confusing anywhere that isn’t reddit

No problem!

That’s the one I forgot to check 🤦 I looked in !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca

Thanks!
