But when is Wendy's?

That could be part of it, but I was thinking more in terms of sharing resources like what you linked in your other comment as well as other methods to encourage community activity.

Also technical stuff like what to be aware of regarding banner/image resolutions, language settings, handling community handoffs to other moderators, etc. Basically a mix of more specific Lemmy support and general community building/outreach discussion.

Right, I was wondering if there might be a distinct term so that it might be clearer that a private entity's action is not a violation of rights in the sense that a government action might be. Thinking mainly of why xkcd #1357 tends to come up a lot

Each time I've read into self-hosting it often sounds like opening stuff up to the internet adds a bunch of complexity and potential headaches, but I'm not sure how much of it is practicality vs being excessively cautious.

Disney knew they had a gap in their demographics for twenty-something dorks with disposable income.

Hey, that reminds me, did you watch Mission Hill? I'm kind of split on it, but I feel like it may fall into the too soon territory. However I could also see it having outstayed its welcome if it had been more successful.

I hate hauling a small tablet around.

Don't you mean a "phablet"? 😜 If that awful name had stuck, I wonder if it might have dissuaded the device enlargement.

While I don't disagree with most of what you mention, I do have to ask on a couple points...Isn't it probably significantly more expensive for them to make foldable screens than to make a smaller phone? Also wouldn't a larger device mean more materials involved which may mean similar or just as high costs as to engineer something more compact?

Also these are open questions, I'm not expecting you personally to know one way or another, your comment simply inspired them. If someone else has some insight on them, would be interested to read it!

By chance do you happen to use Revolt? If so, do you (or @Takeshidude@lemmy.world) know which client might be good to use?

It's a first gen Moto X, been kicking myself ever since I realized the mistake. If it's the sort that can power on with battery removed, that would be great! (I'd migrated the microSD card from it before the swelling, so it's the internal storage I'd be trying to get at btw.)

Piggybacking off this question, what would be a safe way to extract data from a phone with a swollen battery 'cause you forgot lithium batteries gobble electricity up and go all Popeye the Sailor when they've been used awhile?

Ooh, that...Puts it in context. Also had no idea they were working on a Kraven movie (then again, didn't realize Madame Web was coming out either).

[–] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

That sounds pretty appealing tbh. Thanks for elaborating on it!

 

Maybe I'm misunderstanding how the Show Context link is meant to work, but I would think when you click Show Context, it should show the comment being replied to so you can see the...Well, context.

Currently, at least on Lemm.ee, clicking Show Context does nothing. No parent comments are shown whatsoever, so the comment being viewed remains isolated & without context. The only way to see the context is to open all comments and search through for the comment you were linked to/saw and then read what it was replying to.
