[USA] Appeals court rules that cops can physically make you unlock your phone
  • Holy crap this is a great tip I did not know! I haven't had a run in with the police in like a decade, but better safe than sorry. Hopefully I never need to use it, but I just tried it on my iphone and works like a charm, so thanks mate!

  • Here's what's happening to ad blockers in Google Chrome (and other browsers)
  • They only have 40 posts so I gave them a follow. It's when accounts have like 10k posts and an account is less than a year old that I won't follow them, I don't need that noise.

  • Trump threatens to cut off aid to Ukraine 'prior to taking the White House as president-elect'
  • Please stop writing nightmares for me to read, thank you. /s

  • Roger Stone Caught on Tape Discussing Trump’s Plan to Challenge 2024 Election
  • They will. And they'll take it to the Supreme Court, where <checks notes> they'll just install Trump as the winner of the election. Mark my words.

  • 376 boys in blue sat around and let 19 kids and 2 teachers die
  • The Supreme Court ruled like a decade ago that cops DO NOT have a constitutional right to protect you. A cop can literally watch you get stabbed to death in the streets, and they are not obligated to help or stop it. Let that sink in.

  • Clarence Thomas raised him 'as a son.' Now he's facing 25-plus years on weapons and drug charges.
  • What’s with everyone in our government having family members that are felons all of a sudden? God damn, shit is getting wild van wilder by the day!

  • Just a reminder
  • I'm legit not trying to troll here, but I vaguely recall a news story last month where Biden said it's not genocide. I forget if he was referring to Ukraine or Gaza, but either way I was kind of dumbfounded like wtf.

  • Over Here
  • It's not just Trump tho, a majority of current Republicans in Congress also support fascism. Even if we're not fucked this November, the pendeullm swings both ways in the US, so sadly at some point we will be beyond fucked. Vote and shit, but enjoy your lives while we can, the next ~30 years are really, really gonna suck blue balls.

  • America’s Top 100 donors heavily favor Trump and the Republicans
  • Remember this simple fact: in the US we call it lobbying, but every other country calls is corruption.

  • Elon Musk threatens to ban Apple devices from his companies over OpenAI partnership
  • I use a filter on Mastodon so I can limit how much Elon Musk headlines I see. People love to talk about him, I mean here we are.....but at least with the filter I can tune out the noise most of the time. It's blissful. A shame there's no filters (that I know of) on Lemmy to hide asshats like this. I already know Musk is a POS, I don't need to see a dozen articles every single day to remind me.....

  • Watch: Adobe angers artists with new Photoshop terms
  • "Wtf else do people want in gimp, an automatic dick sucking machine?"

    I mean, now that you mention it, I would very much yes. YES.

  • Windows just changed my desktop wallpaper and re-added the search bar without my permission after an update
  • I guess Lemmy is mostly tech nerds like myself, but it's still cool as hell to see another Fedora user around :)

  • Google Chrome change that weakens ad blockers begins June 3rd
  • https://www.fastcompany.com/91038756/why-floorp-has-become-browser-of-my-dreams

    Pros: vertical tabs, web apps, side panel, workspaces, many customizations. to be clear tho, Firefox has already stated they will be incorporating most of these features by version 130 or sooner.

    Cons: no mobile app, video playback with DRM may be an issue on some sites, uncertain future, essentially it's maintained by one dev so if they ever go the future is uncertain.

    tl;dr, Floorp is kind of like Vivaldi with customizing and privacy in mind, but based on Firefox's gecko engine

  • Trump says he's "okay" with jail or house arrest
  • let's be honest, he is beyond rehabilitation.

  • ‘No way out without bloodshed’: the right believe the US is under threat and are mobilizing
  • it's going to get a lot worse before we start to actually do anything about it...

  • Texas Supreme Court rejects challenge to state's abortion law over medical exceptions
  • Life is way too short. You made the right call for yourself and there's nothing wrong with that.

  • Trump supporters try to doxx jurors and post violent threats after his conviction
  • These people are nothing, but a bunch of unhinged cowards. Fuck'em.

  • For 20 Years, I Couldn’t Say What Donald Trump Did on the Set of The Apprentice. Now I Can.
  • Ohhh you just know it was a hard R too....what a piece of scum.

  • [Feature Request] Add option to move upvote/downvotes to left or right side

    Would it be possible to add an option to move the upvote/downvote area to the left side? It would be great for those that are left handed vs right handed.

    We already have the ability to move the thumbnails to the left or right side, which is great and would love to see an option like this make its way in too. If it’s not possible no worries but I figured it can’t hurt to ask, thank you!

    [BUG] Community titles all have different font sizes

    As you can see in the above screenshot, the communities on the left hand side like lemmyworld, technology, and microblogmemes all have different font sizes. This is very jarring and needs correcting, plus it’s much harder to read small fonts when it’s all squeezed in there.

    One solution could be to put the communities name on the line above the post title or perhaps put it below the upvote/down vote line so it has more space. Please hope you can fix this, as it makes readability difficult, thank you.

    [Feature Request] Add ability to move up/downvote/comment/time bar from the left to right side

    This is a screenshot from Narwhal 2 (one of the last still active Reddit apps), and for context the layout is a lot more consistent. What I mean specifically is the community heading title is always on the far left indent, and it’s always color coded for easier readability. Also for consistency the upvote/downvote numbers are always on the far right indent. My eyes always know where these two things are in that regard. On Avelon the upvote numbers after the community title so the numbers/the button to upvote them aren’t always in the right place. This is a small nitpick to be sure, but as a graphic designer for consistency it would be great to keep things in places they should always be. If you have any further questions, I’m happy to expand and explain my reasonings. Also thank you so so much for making a wonderful app.

    Possible to add hiding up/down buttons?

    This may be an odd request but as it stands now there are at least two ways to upvote/downvote a post, either clicking the arrow buttons on the left side of the post or the big rounded buttons on the right side too.

    I think for a very minimal, clean and simple look if you could add an option to remove/hide the big rounded upvote buttons. I normally tap the little small arrow on the left so the big rounded buttons take up space.

    Please let me know if this is already being worked on or if it’s something you might consider to add in the future I’d greatly appreciate it.
