There’s this for corporations across the board:

For Nestle specifically:

For the occasional venting there’s also:

Always happy to see more RSS-related tools emerge!
Yeah, Belgium has its own sordid history for sure. Frankly I wasn’t aware of the extent of the abuses by the Catholic church there until reading this article, and unfortunately I suspect one may readily find similar in other countries that have had any major Catholic presence.
Yeah…Honestly now that you mention it I never have looked into how they’re structured and if that may play a part in them not doing so. What I do know is that I respect their mission and want to see them stick around and reshape things to allow for more organizations like them to exist rather than get snuffed out.
then some steam games would theoretically also be exempt because they don’t use steam drm.
I think the main difference that would arise between these and GOG would be the provision of installers. Even though some Steam games don’t use its DRM, they’re still reliant on Valve’s servers and an online connection for installation. GOG games are reliant on CD Projekt’s servers and an online connection for installer downloads, but upon download completion, one may install and reinstall games even while offline.
That’s a critical difference in digital distribution, in my opinion.
But isopropyl alcohol and enough elbow grease will get it off, if it’s just a coating on plastic.
Do beware, however, that you may want to dilute the alcohol to some degree, or simply use a lower concentration form of it. Too strong and it may eat at the underlying plastic just as much as the coating and ruin it.
are you getting a cut from kagi for writing that instead of search? gimme the deets on that deal if so! 😛
If the Otterbox case had a rubberized coating on it to try to improve grip, and with it being 6 years old, there’s a possibility it’s the culprit. You could try ditching the case for a little while, and/or getting a new case and swapping them out, clean the surfaces again and see if you feel the stickiness again after handling your phone and other stuff.
However, often with those rubberized coatings, the degradation (when severe enough to feel sticky) is more immediately apparent and you’d be more apt to avoid touching anything else afterward. Also in my experience I don’t recall it transferring to other surfaces much, but then again when I dealt with it I noticed ASAP and cleaned my hands right away.

Also these are some great mechasaurs! Thanks for sharing this artist’s work!
From login/paywalled Financial Times article that this is citing:
Data from Similarweb shows active daily users in the UK have dropped from 8mn a year ago to only around 5.6mn now, with more than a third of that fall coming since the summer riots.
- Require you to type the instance before you can start typing your credentials.
- This complicates things and adds an extra step. This also wouldn’t completely solve the problem.
First thought in a similar vein to this, have a pause for credential & instance review before passing them along?
E.g. Type everything in as-is, but instead of log in promptly sending anything, it displays all the information you just entered again with some simple message like, “Does everything here look correct?” and Yes/No or something of the sort.
It complicates things and adds a step as well, however I think it would do a better job of encouraging people to double-check for any typos than what you mention in what I’ve quoted above. Bonus of this idea is that it also keeps external ties to a minimum.
As noted, seeing as they’re neither consistently active nor terribly large (Adulting is the largest of the two with any posts), building them on other instances now would probably be just as well. They’re decent enough topics to try to build communities around imo.
This may be related to the version your instance is on and Thunder adjusting to accommodate different vote display options that your instance version allows for. You might look through Thunder’s settings regarding display and see if there’s an option to restore the display of vote counts.
Hope this helps!
Thanks! This tool seems really useful. It’s interesting how patchy service availability seems to be even in urban areas. 😕
Ah yeah, ya see, flip that switch and you bathe the computer with some extremely excited electrons
IT people don’t want ya to know it, but computers love electron baths. Takes them to a whole new level of performance!
This is buried toward the bottom of the release notes so I’m bringing it up here:
Added instance-level default sort type
Any admins out there considering changing their instance sort settings or asking people on their instance if they’d like this changed, given that we can individually set sorting anyway? Taking into account the inclination of people to never adjust default settings (I remain deeply curious about this tendency, as an aside), I think it might be worth at least bringing up to one’s instance community.
If they decide they want it to remain the same, all good, and even better, it raises some people’s awareness that they can change it themselves.
I think while some of this may be people being people (i.e. tendency to only discuss issues/problems vs accomplishments/solutions), I think there’s also a technical element to it as well in Lemmy’s case.
Up to the latest release of Lemmy (as of writing this is v0.19.4), admins couldn’t adjust the default sort setting, which was Active. Read the docs on the sort setting and Active does what it says, surfaces those posts with recent commenting activity (taking into account score as well).
So you get this unfortunate mix of: people gravitate to discussing negative stuff, people tend not to change default settings (since despite defaults being Active, we can change these if so inclined), and the default sort settings surface whatever is being most discussed/commented on, resulting in this sort of negativity feedback loop you’ve observed.
I noticed and posted about this a few months ago, have tried to upvote and comment on less negatively-focused posts occasionally, but I think this may be an interesting example of a small scale systemic issue as it takes more of us doing similar to address what’s being encountered. However, as more instances update to v0.19.4, I’ll be interested in seeing if admins decide to switch away from the Active sort setting to try to address this in their own way.
I don’t know what sort setting may be better for instances to run with instead, but I’m glad they now have the option. In the meantime I think it’s worth reminding people that they currently have the option to change their default sort settings to something different to try to see different kinds of posts. Personally I switch between New and Scaled to see a variety of posts beyond many of the regular doom and gloom posts.
Appreciate the adjustments and responsiveness! Gave it another try after this and the different formatting hit the spot! Still need to use more to see more finely tuned results, but dig the idea.
Also as others have already said plenty, would be cool to see this cleaned up for an open source release. If you’d like to see how some others are handling a sorta similar idea but with RSS feeds, you might look to Nunti for ideas on how to approach it.
Little feedback on the UI from taking a peek at this.
When I went into settings and adjusted post display style from card to anything else, it wasn’t clear to me that this wouldn’t apply to the new For You feed, which left me confused and less inclined to use it. I still gave it a try to make sure I wasn’t missing anything and to see how much the feed seemed to change with some light interaction, but I think you’d need to use it more than I did to see an effect.
Problem being: display settings not applying to the For You feed means I’m not going to use it much with the default card view.
Second part is that there was some comment display lag as I looked through posts, so if I looked at a post about cats with cat-related comments, those comments would linger and appear for a moment under a different post about possums. It’s just long enough to be noticeable, so thought it worth mentioning.
There’s also some of their business strategy, e.g. Super Mario 3D All-Stars limited release, low production runs of Amiibo, and so forth.
