  • Do themes not work for anyone else?

    Jump

  • Most of the options and layout are great and the scroll is very smooth. The only thing besides custom themes I would love is a long swipe in addition to each short swipe.

  • New to lemmy. Is there a version of /r/changemyview?

    Jump

  • There are 4 on different instances when I searched, the most active one looks to be !changemyview@lemmy.world

    I personally havent tried it but "be the change" you know? I didnt see a few subs I missed so I made them (different account). Start posting on there and maybe it will inspire more.

  • Cleaned up an antique coffee grinder

    Jump

  • Hmm the beans don't normally get stuck and there really isn't a ton of resistance, so I wouldn't call it strenuous. It feels like maybe the amount of forced to scrub a dish kind of hard. It's not difficult, but the time it takes can be tiring if grinding a whole pot.

  • Lemmy app that works on older IOS devices

    Jump

  • Oh duh, you did say that. The only other thing I could think of is going to the way back machine and getting one of the earlier apps like Mlem or Memmy, or message one of the app's developers for a version that is compatible.

    The dev for Arctic has been pretty responsive and may be willing to help you out.

  • Are we modern humans, across the board, enormous wussies compared to people, say, 150+ years ago?

    Jump

  • That's an interesting question. Many people are answering the question "Would people from 150 years ago think the quality of life is better" instead of "Would they think modern people are weaker."

    I think that depends on how you define "weak" or "strong." Physically, I think there is less manual labor needed, so in general people from the past may look at us as weaker. The understanding of mental health and resilience is lesser in the past, but if conveyed in relative terms, I do think they would see how more resilient we need to generally be to things now like doom scrolling and algorithms that we are exposed to in the present.

    Humans are pretty adaptable. Since we generally have more access to resources now, I would argue modernity has the side effect of hindering our sense of agency. Likewise, we are adapting different "strengths" based on the challenges we get in the present.

  • [Bug Report] Excluding NSFW instances from Lemmy Explorer excludes most instances, including lemmy.world

    Jump

  • Huh, I got the same result when using the Lemmy Explorer section and searching for an instance with "Exclude NSFW" selected. If I searched by community instead of instance, it worked and included the instances you mentioned. Weirdly it actually included at least one community that was NSFW with "Exclude NSFW" selected.

  • I think a better preface would be "I was going to say a joke about the postal service… But it always has a poor delivery."

  • Sleeping pills stop the brain’s system for cleaning out waste

    Jump

  • For those interested, the book Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker has very understandable details about sleep. He touches on the waste removal during NREM. He initially became interested in sleep by finding that Alzheimer’s was first predictably detected in changes in EEG sleep waves before symptoms of forgetfulness began.

  • How to get back into academia for a masters degree after being out for 20+ years?

    Jump

  • Most comments seem to be focused on the logistics of applying and financial concerns. Those are important, but before that I would strongly suggest you evaluate your reasons for doing the program and understand your commitment. For one, interviews and applications will want to know this anyway, and two, these reasons can be tested when things get difficult.

    A few insights: school has changed in the last few decades. Things are more lean and there is more expected from students. A big divide if you consider a PhD program is whether it is a researched based (eg R1) or teaching school. A research based school is more competitive and honestly feels like a business sometimes. How many papers can you crank out? Can you devote extra time to helping research professors so that you get better opportunities?

    There is a changing (and unclear) landscape of software. Sources libraries and PDF organizers can be helpful. Most the students I know are using some form of AI to read or write papers, and they make edits and such. There is ongoing debate on the ethics, but people are using it regardless. If the precedent becomes writing papers at the efficiency of using AI to structure the papers, the level of expectations again rises.

    Also be sure to have a support system in place. Things can get overwhelming and frustrating, and leaning on people when needed will be important.

    Start with really pondering your reasons for doing the program and see if a program would fit those needs. And it would be a great idea to reach out to current students at least a couple of different schools to get their input on how the program is. There is only so much you can gain from reading the website. If it is really what you want to do, start looking at the requirements and email the program director or assistant to see if you’re missing anything.

  • I can’t access subscription informations for communities

    Jump

  • Currently it’s a little buried, but hopefully could get uprated. You can get to that by going to the community, click any post, click the three dots, click Community dropdown, and then either Sidebar, Unsubscribe, Block, etc.

  • Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll definitely check that out! I found that when searching for “philosophy,” I get a lot of history of philosophy, and the ones that do bring new discussions are not usually picking themes that in all that interested in.

  • The Best Lemmy Client

    Jump

  • If you’re on iOS, Arctic made some big updates that make it arguably better than Voyager IMO. The biggest thing that got me was color picker themes, so you can literally make your own theme (and save and share them). Also the markdown is pretty great now. Voyager is still pretty solid and very good performance and features.

    Arctic’s biggest update, v0.4.2.3 is ready for testing on TestFlight.

    Jump

  • That might have been me, I always ask for more visual options haha. The colors really make it more pleasant to use. Anecdotally, the performance seems better with transparencies off, using opaque colors. 

    Thanks for the tip for testing the colors. And sharing the preview. I’ll try editing my post to have the previews included.

    Also on a personal note, make sure you pace yourself and take breaks. There will always be more to improve and sometimes I think people feel that they need to push themselves. It can wait. Two of my favorite Lemmy apps kind of just stopped flat, and my hunch is that the developers got burnt out.
