Agreed. I read Wool for the first time a couple weeks ago and watched the first 2 episodes just to see that storyline in live action, and was really disappointed by the lack of the reveal.

Memmy is also a great Apollo-like app for iOS. They say they’re hoping to launch it in the App Store today, but if you can’t wait here’s the TestFlight link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/6jaRU6rD

Sounds like some tokens broke when Reddit pulled the plug. Still no access to content, but Christian has fixed the app itself in case anyone still wants to tip, refuse a refund, get the wallpapers, or download their data.

The concept is pretty great - I'd love to have a single device that's usually my phone but can expand into a tablet if I need the space. But it doesn't sound like our technology and materials are ready for it yet.

I haven't yet heard a Ray Porter narration I didn't love.

In no particular order:

-Project Hail Mary narrated by Ray Porter

-Old Man's War narrated by Ray Porter

-Bobiverse narrated by Ray Porter (can you tell I enjoy Ray Porter narrations?)

-Wool narrated by Edoardo Ballerini

-Anything Brandon Sanderson narrated by Michael Kramer

Bonus: Redshirts by John Scalzi (Star Trek meta-parody narrated by Wil Wheaton)

TIL goulash is essentially Beefaroni. I’d always heard of goulash but never knew what it was. Gonna need to stock up on supplies for a lazy cooking day :)

Anyone who’s interested in this should check out the book All Yesterdays, where artists have tried reimagining dinosaurs with actual muscle and fat instead of the shrink-wrapped look. They updated some classic dinosaur designs based on recent findings, such as how triceratops may have had spines/quills along its back like a porcupine.

To demonstrate how unrealistic the shrink-wrapping style is, for the second half of the book they applied that technique to known modern animals with some terrifying results, like these swans.

I think it’s a slur against people with Down’s syndrome. It was originally used to refer to people from East Asia (mongoloid from either Mongols or Mongolia, not sure which), then later applied to people with Down’s syndrome due to similarities between some East Asian facial features and the facial features common among those living with the syndrome.

Looks like it was most commonly used in the 50s and 60s. Not sure if it wasn’t considered offensive then or if people just didn’t care as much.

Edit: also, props to you for using this as a chance to learn rather than getting defensive.

How does it feel on Mastodon posts? Are you able to follow Mastodon users?

I haven’t found a way to, and when I visit Lemmy communities via Mastodon, I can’t really post or upvote or downvote. The UI is totally different- literally like browsing Reddit using Twitter’s interface. An app that truly combines them will either need two interfaces or some pretty brilliant UI/UX design to make everything work in one interface

That would be great. It’ll take some pretty good UI/UX design to make a single experience that works well for both types of communities. Looking forward to seeing what developers come up with.
