40 years ago today Terry Fox, a 21 year old Canadian who lost a leg to cancer, began an east to west cross-Canada run to raise money and awareness for cancer research. He ran the equivalent of a full marathon every day and made it to 145 days and 5,373km before he was forced to stop and he lost his battle with cancer.
have any SUV with this type of rearview mirror and honestly IMO it is the best driver assistive technological in a decade, in actual mirror mode I get a small view around 400 x 400 mm but in camera mode I get a full unobstructed view. I get the complaint about VR sickness as I had a few existential crisis's when the vehicle was new but that issue passes with time and it is only an issue for people who have muscle memory that the rearview is a mirror, as this option becomes more popular younger generations won't be affected by this.
Vivek Ramaswamy, a candidate for the presidential nomination from the Republican Party of the USA, who is in the top three in terms of popularity among Republican supporters, promises to recognize the Russian occupation of Ukraine and block its path to NATO if elected president.
As a registered Republican any candidate who doesn't support Ukraine will not get my vote in the primary. And if the party nominee doesn't support Ukraine I will vote outside the party in the general election.
I was just prompted that a PWA was available for kbin. I now have it installed, really great to see this. IMO it is a great stopgap until native apps are available.
Where can I find the list of instances kbin.social is federated with? I'm asking because android@lemmy.world has locked the community as they are merging with Android@Lemdro.id. I'm unable to find and thus subscribe to the community at Lemdro.id and I'm guessing it is because kbin.social is not federated with Lemdro.id.
Sometimes my Nokia G60 5G on Android 13 reactivates Adaptive Brightness without my consent. In fact, it did so while I was writing this (noticed because the screen suddenly got brighter while I was typing; also, the virtual keyboard went away as if I had tapped out of the text input box)....
I don't think there is a way to disable the feature, it sounds like a bug in the Nokia. My only suggestion would to be to use the Tasker app and write an automation that automatically turns off Adaptive Brightness if it is turned on. If the brightness changes when Adaptive Brightness first turns on you could have the task restore the previous brightness also. I know this shouldn't be needed but it is an option.
How are username collisions handled since there is no centeralized userbase for the fediverse. Or is it just not an issue since the magazines of different instances are disjoined? Sorry I'm trying to figure this out as I assume the majority of us are.
I've said it before and I'll say it again and again, fuck Carmen Ortiz, such an senseless tragedy. What else was he destined for, he was so young but left such a great legacy.

There used to be a button to only view posts from subscribed magazines. It was at the top with the "top", "hot", "newest" buttons. What happened to it?
You can also turn on the top bar in the site settings, not to be confused with profile settings. Hamburger Menu, Gear Icon, turn on Top Bar toggle, then save if there is a save button otherwise refresh page to add the top bar (I think the save button was depreciated)

Could we get official word on what Kbin's stance is towards federating with Meta?
I would like to know if I can feel safe here, or if I should pack it up and start looking elsewhere sooner rather than later....
