That’s so good to hear! Glad it went well in the end.

For me, I moved cities a while ago and was very anxious about losing my doctor. I had been her patient for the last near decade after a string of doctors who looked like they hated their job. Happy to say my new doctor is quite caring. I’m also seeing another doctor who can prescribe me a new medication which I’m having high hopes for and he is quite decent.

I love the redesign! Looks so much sleeker and the colour for dark mode is better.

Could we have a setting to disable swipe gestures please? Clumsy me will end up accidentally triggering the wrong ones all the time.

That’s appalling that that sort of behaviour is still prevalent with taxis. I think rideshare services also share the same problem though? There have been many anecdotes onine by Australians quoting their awful experiences with rideshare drivers and even some mentioning they found taxis to be the better option nowadays.

Regradless, I firmly believe the taxi industry should be held up to a higher standard.

That’s a good point, and really unfortunate. I found the rising popularity of rideshare to be beneficial, as it meant more availabilities for rides and better pricing. However to get to that point, the barriers to entry for drivers had to be lower; the main appeal of being a rideshare driver is that you get more freedom than driving a taxi.

My concern is that by enforcing rules on rideshare drivers that they find too unfair, they are simply going to decide it’s not worth it, and leave the industry altogether. Then she will still find it difficult to get a ride, seeing as there are none.

It really is a tricky situation and my simple uneducated answer is “more taxis”.

I have a disability but I do think rideshare drivers should be allowed to decide if they want dogs in their privately-owned cars or not.

I find it strange that the person in the article specifically mentions 23 refusals from Uber drivers, but what about taxis? Taxis should not discriminate, unless the driver has a particular condition like allergies to dogs. If I had an assistance dog, I would be seeking taxis, not rideshare, because I understand most people wouldn’t want dogs in their own vehicle.

Do note I mentioned assistance dogs, which require certification.

Hi Kuro, could you please address the font size issue as indicated here. It is the biggest thing holding me back from using the app. Thank you!

Thank you so much for adding the ability to change the body and comment font size! This has been invaluable.

Okay TIL there are golden raspberries.

Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen. Started it last year but fell off because of how tedious it was. With the announcement of a sequel I thought I’d get back to it. The combat is really something enjoyable.

Can’t believe I forgot all about this. It was the one thing I was sad to lose when I upgraded from my Nexus 5 to the Google Pixel. So simple but so useful.

I just downloaded Obtainium but I’m noticing an issue. Maybe you can help me? For Thunder, because it’s using an unconventional version naming system, Obtainium isn’t detecting that my version wasn’t actually the latest. Mine was 0.2.1+6 but 0.2.1+7 was out, and Obtanium said that I’m on 0.2.1+7.

I’m trying out Homeseek which is like desert Frostpunk, and Gord.

Homemade chocolate syrup? Yum! How do you make it? I love chocolate but am turned off by all the artificial chocolate sauces and syrups out there.

I’m not sure if it’s exactly the same thing, but you can click on Instances at the very bottom of the instance, or add “/instances” to the url e.g. https://lemmy.ml/instances to see the list of blocked instances.

Linkin Park went from nu metal to alternative, pop rock etc (I’m not really sure).

That’s right, Cyberpunk 2077 was released for PC on Dec 2020. And yet for recommended settings and above, it’s now requiring AMD processors released from Sep 2022, and Intel processors released from Q4 2021. These processors are all on the higher end too. This is a huge jump.

I’m very surprised about the processor requirements. For no Ray Tracing, the high preset asks for Core i7-12700 or Ryzen 7 7800X, and Core i9-12900 or Ryzen 9 7900X for ultra.

I thought most games aren’t so heavily reliant on the number of cores and threads?

This is why I’m too scared to see a physiotherapist or an occupational therapist, even when they advertise that they deal with chronic fatigue etc. I’m seeing that their work revolves around doing things, but that’s what’s making my symptoms and health worse.

It’s depressing having to explain to every health professional that the literal journey to attend their appointment is easily too much and affecting my health, even if it involves a short walk. If getting there and back is an issue, how is doing whatever they’re recommending in addition likely to help?
