Jerboa started crashing for me around the time they did an update that required a newer lemmy version. I've been using Liftoff and that's working pretty well so far. I'm trying to stay open to different apps because they're all pretty new and none that I've tried have been exactly what I'm looking for yet.

The point of the strike is that the writers are trying to get a fair share of the money they bring in for those corporate fucks, and also secure some protections for their jobs against AI. I agree that there's a ton of old content available, but I selfishly do want to see new things come out, and less selfishly this is impacting regular people who work on these shows (technicians, set designers, caterers, plenty of people aside from the Corporate Fucks). I hope the writers get a fair deal soon.

The Amazon listing mentions "does not connect to the internet or to any devices" so it might actually not have any sort of connectivity.

Sheesh I thought this was uplifting news until I thought about this perspective. I hope there is some sort of language in these grants that will hold ISPs at least a little bit accountable to build out actual networks.

I'm lucky to live in a town that has municipal broadband, so I pay a reasonable rate for gigabit fiber and it's owned by my town so there's less of a profit motive and no need to appease shareholders by cutting corners or using unfair pricing. I wonder if some of the funds from this program coukd be used by more towns to set up their own ISPs like that.

I always wanted a furby and maybe now that I'm a grown adult I'll finally get one lol. Although any time I see a furby now I'm reminded of this scene from Mitchell's vs the Machines.

I like those projects where people have attached a raspberry pi to the old furbies to turn them into cool things, I wonder if that will be possible with these new ones?

I had the Pikachu one and I honestly had no idea it was supposed to even be a pedometer, I thought you were supposed to shake it...

Thank you for that recommendation it was absolutely worth clicking through for the gif.

I haven't been able to figure out from any of the arti Lea I've seen.. What is it that Putin ended up giving to Prigozhin? What was Prigozhin asking for?

Awesome to see this getting some media coverage. I hope the writers strike ends in time for Oliver to be able to do a segment on his show about all this.

Hello!

I put the Lemmy web app shortcut where my Rif app used to be on my phone, so my muscle memory from always opening up rif has me going to lemmy instead. I've barely been looking at reddit at all and really enjoying seeing these lemmy communities grow. Once rif is gone I don't plan to use reddit at all (aside from the occasional specific Google search for "specific question reddit") and I don't think I'll miss it.

I was about halfway through Tears of the Kingdom, but then the Miyoo Minu Plus I had ordered a month ago was delivered and I spent the rest of the weekend playing Wario Land 2 and Super Mario Land 2. Nice blasts from the past and I really love the miyoo hardware.
