Yeah. There was an incident in the university where I studied that the whole roof collapsed. https://hongkongfp.com/2016/06/10/city-university-may-sue-contractor-rooftop-collapse-investigation-report-released/

 

I couldn't find a setting to enable gif autoplay. Is it hidden somewhere?

I have enabled video autoplay but the gifs are still not playing.

I'm using eternity v0.1.2 from fdroid.

What are these dotted ball shaped things I circled in yellow in the image?

I thought they may be sea urchin skeletons. Though the things in the image may be too many and too large?

They are in a mural in Brighton, England. The subject is "Protecting Costa Rican Wildlife", so I guess they are of some native species there.

It just had a thought.

 

I'm looking for a smart power strip, which allows me to remote control and schedule on/off.

Last year I bought Hey!'s smart power strip. Hey! is a UK brand, but turn out its products are just branded Chinese products. I used it anyway but it just bricked itself last month.

For quality, safety, and security reasons, I would prefer a non-made-in-China smart power strip.

Compatibility with Home Assistant is prefered, but not 100% required. I'm interested in switching to Home Assistant but I haven't yet.

Thanks for any suggestions!

This is a longstanding issue that wheelmap knew and promised to solve.

Some info from the OSM talk mailing list.

 

In this information era, some of the few people who are resilient against fake news are the weebs. They're always asking for sauce. Be like weebs.

Thanks for checking. I've just sent an email to feddit.uk to see if they have any idea on their side.

 

My posts and comments to feddit.uk communities aren't going through. I can only see the posts and comments on this instance but not on feddit.uk.

For example, this post doesn't appear in https://feddit.uk/c/brighton

Is there any technical problem or is one defederated with another?

It still happens to me as of today.

I've found the relevant GitHub issue, which says the fix is to compile lemmy with pict-rs v0.4.0-beta.7 or later versions.

At least you're not rewarded with more ads.

That sounds so much like Twitter and Reddit... lol

I lived in Kowloon when Kai Tak Airport was still in use. We had planes flying super low above our place all the time everyday.

Here is a picture I found on Wikimedia Commons that illustrate how low were the planes.

It was very noisy as you can imagine.

The schools in Kowloon had air cons installed pretty early when air cons were still considered expensive and not very common among school buildings. It was necessary because the windows had to be closed for all time for soundproofing.

Use Newpipe. It plays youtube (and several video sites') videos without any ads nor trackings. No Google account needed.

Install it and set it as the app for opening youtube links in system settings.

Note that the app is not available in Google Play store. It can be installed from f-droid, or you can directly download its apk.
