abff08f4813c, in did anyone else from the USA grow up being forced to say the pledge to the flag in school?

This was very me

hihusio, in did anyone else from the USA grow up being forced to say the pledge to the flag in school?
@hihusio@kbin.social avatar

we did this during elementary school in the 80s. I also remember doing duck and cover drills for nuclear war.

adonis, in Not able to Login to kbin.social

I had the same issue at the very beginning...try copying the link and pasting it in the browser

stackPeek, in Do you prefer Android or iOS, and why?
@stackPeek@kbin.social avatar

Android, simply because how more free I am using it. I can side-load APK files for example, unlike iOS.

sgibson5150, in Are there actually any deals worth getting on Prime Day?
@sgibson5150@kbin.social avatar

The Verge had a listing for the Hyper-X Cloud II Wireless headset for like $60, but it turned out that price was for the wired version. 🙁

ForkingHell, in What are some plot driven, serialized, crime/mystery/drama TV shows without supernatural elements?

Check out some Scandinavian noir like Trapped or the Bridge.

Phobos, in What is this air compressor part called?

UPDATE: Changed the o-ring and it holds pressure now.

yarn, in Caster wheels for office chair?
@yarn@sopuli.xyz avatar

I bought the roller blade wheels and can confirm they were very rolly. I couldn’t stay in a comfortable position. Maybe there’s a pad you could buy to reduce the rolliness.

I ended up going with these. It sucks not being able to roll, but at least I can keep my chair in a comfortable spot, and I’m not scratching the floor up.

Hello_there,

@yarn interesting idea. Are they a little slidey? Or not really?

DrChickenbeer, in can you sort by Newest automagically for your Homepage? or will the default always remain Hot?
@DrChickenbeer@kbin.social avatar

@dbtonez it's already possible in kbin-- just go to settings and change the drop-down for what you'd like as your homepage.

dbtonez,
@dbtonez@kbin.social avatar

thats for the default landing page: All, Subscriptions, Favorites, and Moderated. I'm looking to extend this functionality to be able to browse by newest as opposed to hot for this setting. its only a click away but, i dont know i guess i'm lazy.

BrerChicken,

This is an option on Lemmy, so you can always browse your magazines from a Lemmy instance 😉

But honestly, it’s only one tap at the top of the screen. That might be a good first script project–you can write your own!

dbtonez,
@dbtonez@kbin.social avatar

funny you mention that, writing the script actually crossed my mind!

noughtnaut, in Do you prefer Android or iOS, and why?

Android is, in my opinion, the "best of what's currently available." Mind you, this does not imply that it is "good".

I dearly miss PalmOS and the Tungsten and Treo product lines, as well as the Psion brand. Those terrific PDA's had features that modern phones still lack. Conversely, I think modern phones come with a plethora of features that aren't really positive. But then, I'm not really a fan of the whole style where you can barely touch a device anywhere without operating it in some way. This is just my personal opinion.

The #1 reason why I would never choose Apple's products is that, while they excel at what you're supposed to use them for, their platform is way too locked down for my taste. As a device owner, I want the ability to customise stuff and install (and remove!) whatever the hell I want (including ads!), and Android delivers that in far greater measure than Apple.

Ragnell, in Is KBin really slow to update on posts from other federated instances?
@Ragnell@kbin.social avatar

For me, /sub stays the same for a long time but /all changes pretty quickly.

Cat, in Do you prefer Android or iOS, and why?
@Cat@kbin.social avatar

My first smartphone was an iPhone. Most things were counter intuative. I also had to jailbreak it to do the things I wanted. A lot of it was basic stuff. The one I remember was that I wanted to use certain Bluetooth devices that would only work when jailbroken.

Once I tried Android there was no turning back. I've used Apple devices for work and it is still counter intuative but things like Bluetooth are less restrictive at least. Still you shouldn't have to try to break or hack the system you're on to get basic settings that aren't available by default.

Catarinalina, in Kbin: What is your favourite (or least favourite) horror film?
@Catarinalina@kbin.social avatar

A few have mentioned Hereditary already so I'll give an honorable mention to Dark Skies with Keri Russel.
