It's never a good look when the story changes this much. Something's definitely being covered up.

It looks like you've marked your account as a bot account. Bot accounts aren't allowed to vote to help combat vote manipulation--unflagging it as a bot should solve the problem.

I'll save you the watch, it's a 20 minute Balatro ad with some pedestrian commentary on what makes games fun sprinkled in.

This little bronze orc:

It was a gift from my father, who in turn received it from its sculptor, Sterling Lanier. Lanier was a family friend and an editor at Chilton Books, where he insisted that a book he had read in Analog Magazine be published despite it having been turned down by a score of other publishing companies. The book was initially such a commercial failure that Lanier was ousted from Chilton--a grievous injustice, as the book in question is Frank Herbert's Dune.

Because cross-platform apps inevitably feel out of step with the OS they run on. Native apps can use system components and behaviors and will almost always run better because they don't need to be wrapped in a cross-platform framework. Admittedly a platform-locked app isn't going to be a universally perfect Lemmy app, but it can certainly be a platform-specific perfect Lemmy app.

With no disrespect to Voyager, its devs, or its users, this is why I can't use that app despite its impressive feature set and high level of polish--the ui feels fundamentally wrong on iOS, and the fact that it's a very direct Apollo clone but not written in native swift makes it feel like a knockoff.

Agreed--if I put up a poster on a billboard, I'm not really in a position to complain if someone takes a picture of it.

Mlem, Voyager, and Boost all offer keyword filtering to my knowledge

That's the neat part, they don't

Is this a common problem? I've almost never had a burrito fall apart on me unless it outright rips--I once made the mistake of ordering a burrito in Scotland, and that was pretty formless, but it was also less a burrito and more an embarrassment hiding under an ill-fitting tortilla.
