Fun fact: The “unsinkable” actually came from its sister Olympic, after it came out relatively unscathed from a collision with the Hawke (Wikipedia link)

damage to Olympic and Hawke - Olympic has a hole in the side of its hull, Hawke’s bow has been completely mangled and now looks pug-nosed

Fun fact: Between the 3 ships of the class, Olympic was the only that survived to retirement. Britannic was sunk by a mine in WWI after less than a year in service.

I’m getting started on making our logo. Here’s the template instructions for those who want to help out:

• ~~Open the canvas settings, scroll down to template, and enter this URL: ~~
• Set position to 550x650 with a size of 75
• Set color conversion mode to Nearest custom
• UPDATE: You can just use this link to get the template in place, you just have to set the Style mode: https://canvas.toast.ooo/#x=594&y=692&scale=7.39&template=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.zip%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2Fa8788779-c400-495c-aae3-460235eecdc6.webp&ox=550&oy=650&tw=75&title=Lemmy.zip&convert=nearestCustom
• To get the exact colors, I set the style to Numbers and also enabled “Add numbers to palette entries” under UI settings
• At least for me, the template is slightly misaligned with the grid. If you press g to turn on the grid, you’ll see the top left side is the worst. Go by the top left corner of the blocks there. For the rest of the image it’s close enough to be obvious

Lmk if you’re also joining this, if there’s a few we can set up a Matrix channel to coordinate!

It has Reddit sync vibes, which I’m a fan of.

Pssst… !syncforlemmy

Not 100%, but there’s already a semi-public limited alpha release (already full) and I believe the only thing standing in the way of a full publicly available download is just Google’s approval. Hopefully, we should have it within a few days

Adding 4 spaces at the start of the line makes it a code block, note the different font as well. Just take the extra spaces out from in front of the list items.

Also, the opening ** to bold “Additional functionality” is on the line before, which doesn’t work

I see a lot of issues there already, is it available for download now? I haven’t gotten the email yet and I don’t see it on the Play Store

The questions on this one seemed relatively easy to me.I instantly knew the document one from a similar incident (though I didn’t remember the name of the fonts), and the outage one because Iraq has been doing the same thing (having them dance so closely around the right answer was painful). I didn’t have the audition part of the barefoot one, but I knew the general idea. I also knew the idea of the opening question, but misunderstood it to be specifically Resident Evil 2, and didn’t get what 2 1/2 letters would make “II” or “REII” or something like that

Sorry about what?! That’s awesome!

old.lemmy.zip as well. I love how everyone went right for the “old.”

I hate how much I actually want to try this

Yeah, it’ll be odd not having weekly Tom Scott anymore. But after 10 years of weekly videos, few could be more deserving of a break. I wonder how long it will be

(Also, welcome to you and Briko! I’ve haven’t even finished the sidebar or done anything to promote it yet, I assume you must’ve come in from the Local New feed?)

Ah whaddya know this is already a trending community. I guess that’s the benefit of being on a smaller instance!

I had no issues setting it up with Authenticator Pro

Is there any reason not to add all languages as options? I presume it should be possible to pin English to the top with Undetermined?

Well sticking with the theme, they also have UHF and The Weird Al Show in their catalog. Haven’t looked into it much further than that though

I realize this is almost a month old, but in case you’re still wondering or if anyone else has this question:

I know many apps that can aggregate everything you watch and tell you what platforms it’s available on (including Plex), and I believe some like Google TV (the app, not to be confused with Android TV the operating system) can even that show on the specific app for you, but you would still need to have the apps downloaded. Afaik there isn’t any way to stream shows from multiple sites through one app
