It’s certainly an interesting time at the early stages of Lemmy. It’s a real race. Some early front runners like Liftoff! seem to have been left behind.

Thanks. What mechanism would cause the gravity waves?

I ask because there is a controversial theory that the universe actually consists of a number of interacting fields. They’ve always been there. What we observe as matter, time etc are the result of those fields.

You are perpetuating stereotypes. They have been using computers for at least 30 years as they’ve had the email address that long.

What do you think this certain age is ? What evidence do you have to counter the UN campaign and the actual research? I’m happy to consider alternative viewpoints. Is this something that just seems logical to you?

Excuse my ignorance but what is CMB?

This is another example of ageism. The key characteristic here is not that they are older but they use an ISP provided email address. They could be 24 with an ISPaccount they’ve used for ten years.

It’s also an example of media stereotyping older people as somehow being affected more, implying they can’t/won’t switch, are somehow not savvy enough with technology to cope and to be less capable.

Look at it this way. If you’ve had an email address for 30 years. How many times did they move house or change car or change phone number. Did they cope with that? Of course they did. And it’s more disruptive when you move physically

The UN is campaigning to stop older people being stigmatised as set in their ways, unable to cop and technologically disadvantaged. Not only does it penalise older people but distracts from the real issue. The issue here isn’t their age but the lack of portability of email addresses which are used as a means of identity.

With the proviso that you don’t give it to companies. Use a feature like hide my email or use forwarding from a gmail etc account.

(Companies like Facebook can use your own domain to profile you and your family. Other companies use Facebook services for advertising )

Looking through the GitHub it doesn’t look like anyone has commented on a bug for over a month and no one has been assigned to one for much longer.

@Liftoff last posted on Lemmy 21 days ago.

All concerning. Wish someone would say what is happening. I’m sure users would chip in if it’s a funds issue.

I’m not sure what’s going on there’s been nothing for several weeks now and over on Matrix no talk of any bug fixes. I posted in the community asking if users can do anything (in case it’s a resource issue) but didn’t here anything

It’s a real shame as other clients are seeing rapid development but it’s falling behind and as you say, the iOS app seems to stop responding and needs tidying up.

I’m not surprised given all the disasters (remember when they lost control of the channel due to a ‘mistake’ and lots of videos were deleted ), errors in videos (clearly badly researched) and the number of times Linus has had to appear on camera with his sad face apologising.

My view- the biggest problem is Linus who needs to grow up and take things seriously.

Have you checked your junk or spam mail folder ?

[–] FelipeFelop 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, this has been a long standing bug. There don’t appear to have been any updates for several weeks, I hope this doesn’t mean Liftoff is no longer actively developed?

I’m loving the Mint theme , my favourite one yet. Easy to read but not too bright. Thank you.
