Yeah. It's not cheap. But class should definitely be much cheaper than $10k.. http://www.madcityparagliding.com/prices.html is $2.9k for example. That is about typical.

Of course gear is extra, but you don't need to consider purchasing until after training is done. Rental gear should be included with training.

Also places like Mad City allow paying in increments, and renting gear after graduating while you save up! And if they know you're on a budget they should be able to help hook you up with some used, cheaper but SAFE/modern gear.

Lastly any reputable instructor should encourage you to come out for introductions, watch people fly, show you the gear and what the sport is about, totally free. :)

Probably because Sync on your phone is connecting/downloading directly from Imgur, which is bad for privacy. Voyager uses the image cached on your instance, if possible, to avoid connecting to arbitrary hosts to load images when browsing your feed.

It's a problem with lemmy.world, likely due to running outdated lemmy 0.19.3 (looks great on lemm.ee, feddit.org, vger.social)

Not a client issue.

It's not a client issue. It's a lemmy/instance-specific issue. Look at the following link in your browser, then tap the image to expand. You will see bad image quality. https://lemmy.world/comment/11323036

Edit: Works fine with my vger.social account. Looks like shit on lemmy.world.

Edit 2: Looks like shit on sh.itjust.works and lemmy.world. Which are both running very outdated 0.19.3. Looks great on feddit.org, vger.social, lemm.ee which are running up to date version of Lemmy (0.19.5).

It depends on your instance.

This will be resolved once https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4698 is resolved so please give it a "thumbs up" if you want it!

Can you do a screen recording? THanks!

Wisconsin does this to preserve native ecosystems! I believe this particular land is maintained by the County.

Prescribed fire is the intentional application of fire to a specific pre-planned area, under specific environmental conditions, to accomplish planned land management objectives. Without the use of prescribed burning as a management tool, Wisconsin could lose many of its native grassland, wetland and savanna plant communities.

Is user export broken for anyone else? It exports malformed JSON ending at 121 bytes.

I've tested multiple accounts + browsers. Only happens on lemmy.world.

Hi there! I've received a few requests, so I've created a Patreon page for Voyager.

This adds an additional option, alongside Github Sponsors, Liberapay and in-app donations.

Thanks again to everyone that supports Voyager! 💙


While I have you here, let me show off a few of the new features from the release earlier today!

Random Community Button

Find new communities, randomly! Pull to refresh to find a new random one with ease.

Launch native app if available

Currently, if you tap a Youtube link, it will open Youtube in the in-app browser. (And same with news apps, etc.) Now, by default, it will open the app, if installed.

You can easily flip this off in Settings to get the old behavior ("Prefer Opening Native Apps").

Shortcut to copy text

If you want to copy all post/comment text, there is now a handy copy icon in the header of the sheet!

Android navbar style updates

I've tweaked Android navbar styles to make them a little nicer.

aeharding purple highlight

My username is now purple, so you can easily identify me as the Voyager dev

iOS Cache Clearing

You can now clear iOS cache for Voyager (native app only). Please note: It will not clear everything - iOS seems to keep 100mb around, without a way to clear. Other apps I checked seem to have the same issue.

Comments theme

You can now style the comments theme!

 

I recommend updating if you get frustrated by broken videos.

This goes for all iOS Lemmy clients, not just Voyager :)

Voyager has finally added support for spoilers! This was the 9th issue reported in Voyager's Github project, back in June last year. (Since then, Voyager users have created nearly 600 issues with around 500 being resolved!)

It was a huge undertaking, involving a few different packages and nearly one hundred unit tests in order to ensure proper parsing logic.

Also, I've published Voyager's spoiler plugin with AGPL-3.0, so any other FOSS lemmy app using Remark for markdown parsing can more easily add spoiler support :)

So, now Voyager should properly parse spoilers, check it out below! Shortly, I will add support in the Markdown toolbar so you can easily create your own.

(by the way - this release also adds support for horizontal rules. Voyager should now support all of the official Markdown syntax.)

Formatting

The Lemmy spoiler format is based on the CommonMark Container Block Directive proposal. In fact, the spoiler plugin was forked from remark's directive plugin (this plugin is not flexible enough to be compatible with markdown-it-directive, what lemmy-ui is using, without forking). Their behavior is very similar to Markdown code blocks. Here's the "happy path" syntax (but there's edge cases that behave similar to edge cases of markdown code blocks):

Hi there!Some text

Some examples

Below are some examples stress testing the spoiler parsing.

The spoiler syntax happy pathSome text


::

👋 Hi there with bonus colons and spaces!

This is a spoiler message. Boo! 👻

spoiler Nested spoiler!

This spoiler is nested within the "Hi there!" spoiler. I don't know why you'd want to nest spoilers... But you can 😆
