I've read the first couple chapters of Dreamsnake by Vonda N. McIntyre which I picked up after looking through the bingo thread.

I haven't read any of her work before, and am enjoying it so far. I'm finding the prose pretty crisp and readable.

I tried this for the first time over the past week or so. The driving immediately stuck out as the weakest point, so having more travel options sounds good.

I kinda wish they had just RGGed it and put everything in like a five block radius. I'm extremely early, but the city and environment just feel bad.

I have a Zenfone 9, and it's fine basically. The size, 3.5 mm jack, and battery life are all good.

There currently isn't a boot unlocker from Asus though there apparently used to be one. The UI is pretty stock-ish, so it isn't too bad, but I do wonder about updates in the future.

No, they are owned by Relx (fka Reed Elsevier), known for PAX and the scam which is the academic publishing industry.

Selling 2000 shares while retaining over 3000000 shares seems to indicate that this is for quarterly tax payments, which are due this week.

I'm not defending any actions of Unity.

The author / headline writer are being disingenuous or just clickbait chasing.

That seems reasonable, they seem consistent about the 'godling' thing.

I think any explanation as to why Shar would personally care would tie the scene together at least a little.

:::Spoiler

Does anyone else think the Shadowheart showdown at the House of Grief ends oddly?

Talk to priestess: Does Shar know about this prism thing? "Nah"

Kill everyone. (Ok this part was expected, but a little disappointing)

Documents: Prism operatives are Totally Expendable.

Next room: Shadowheart's parents are being personally tortured by Shar. This is right in front of the memory eraser, which seems like the temple's money maker.

Tonally, this seems so strange. I guess it is part of the Larian design philosophy that gods must be directly involved, but it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense here.

Like a Dragon is on GOG without Denuvo, nice. I hadn't realized that before, I'm definitely gonna pick that up.

I literally read this while waiting for shaders to process on first run. Good timing and thanks!

Overall, liftoff has a pretty decent amount of customization. Posts can be full cards, compact, or compact without thumbnails. A full width image is shown if the post is expanded.

Font size for the header, title, and body are separately adjustable. The 'action bar' (share, reply, vote, etc) does not appear to be resizable.

I was unable to find a way to browse a list of subscribed communities, which I generally find useful.

This definitely seems like a good start, I'll definitely be following development.

So it does! Thanks!

Hi, is there an Android app which allows hiding / not loading thumbnails from the post list? Like the top level would just be a list of titles, and the thumbnail would only load if the post were opened.

I assume Sync allows that setup, since it did for reddit. Are there any others?

[-] the_gmg@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

In my recollection sync for reddit had multiple long gaps in communication from the dev, including pretty shortly after subscriptions were first announced. I appreciate the desire to be paid, but I didn't find it clear that there were ongoing development or support efforts.
