I would argue Arctic is the best iOS app. It is smooth, has the features I value like custom theme support and gif scrubbing, and developer had been responsive in fixing bugs and adding features when possible. !arctic@lemmy.world

I’m new to trying Android apps but Eternity has been my main one with Raccoon being pretty solid too.

The “Jump” button currently does this. You can turn it on in App Settings > Appearance > Comments

Most of the options and layout are great and the scroll is very smooth. The only thing besides custom themes I would love is a long swipe in addition to each short swipe.

There are 4 on different instances when I searched, the most active one looks to be !changemyview@lemmy.world

I personally havent tried it but “be the change” you know? I didnt see a few subs I missed so I made them (different account). Start posting on there and maybe it will inspire more.

Hmm the beans don’t normally get stuck and there really isn’t a ton of resistance, so I wouldn’t call it strenuous. It feels like maybe the amount of forced to scrub a dish kind of hard. It’s not difficult, but the time it takes can be tiring if grinding a whole pot.

It looks like a cast iron burr that fans out over a dome shape

I’ve only tried it the one time so far but doing at a moderate pace that wasnt making me sweat and the finest granule setting was about one minute for 15g.

Oh duh, you did say that. The only other thing I could think of is going to the way back machine and getting one of the earlier apps like Mlem or Memmy, or message one of the app’s developers for a version that is compatible.

The dev for Arctic has been pretty responsive and may be willing to help you out.

Maybe Voyager’s web app?

That’s an interesting question. Many people are answering the question “Would people from 150 years ago think the quality of life is better” instead of “Would they think modern people are weaker.”

I think that depends on how you define “weak” or “strong.” Physically, I think there is less manual labor needed, so in general people from the past may look at us as weaker. The understanding of mental health and resilience is lesser in the past, but if conveyed in relative terms, I do think they would see how more resilient we need to generally be to things now like doom scrolling and algorithms that we are exposed to in the present.

Humans are pretty adaptable. Since we generally have more access to resources now, I would argue modernity has the side effect of hindering our sense of agency. Likewise, we are adapting different “strengths” based on the challenges we get in the present.

Huh, I got the same result when using the Lemmy Explorer section and searching for an instance with “Exclude NSFW” selected. If I searched by community instead of instance, it worked and included the instances you mentioned. Weirdly it actually included at least one community that was NSFW with “Exclude NSFW” selected.

I think a better preface would be “I was going to say a joke about the postal service… But it always has a poor delivery.”

For those interested, the book Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker has very understandable details about sleep. He touches on the waste removal during NREM. He initially became interested in sleep by finding that Alzheimer’s was first predictably detected in changes in EEG sleep waves before symptoms of forgetfulness began.

They might be doing some maintenance because logging into my world account also gave me an error message.

Most comments seem to be focused on the logistics of applying and financial concerns. Those are important, but before that I would strongly suggest you evaluate your reasons for doing the program and understand your commitment. For one, interviews and applications will want to know this anyway, and two, these reasons can be tested when things get difficult.

A few insights: school has changed in the last few decades. Things are more lean and there is more expected from students. A big divide if you consider a PhD program is whether it is a researched based (eg R1) or teaching school. A research based school is more competitive and honestly feels like a business sometimes. How many papers can you crank out? Can you devote extra time to helping research professors so that you get better opportunities?

There is a changing (and unclear) landscape of software. Sources libraries and PDF organizers can be helpful. Most the students I know are using some form of AI to read or write papers, and they make edits and such. There is ongoing debate on the ethics, but people are using it regardless. If the precedent becomes writing papers at the efficiency of using AI to structure the papers, the level of expectations again rises.

Also be sure to have a support system in place. Things can get overwhelming and frustrating, and leaning on people when needed will be important.

Start with really pondering your reasons for doing the program and see if a program would fit those needs. And it would be a great idea to reach out to current students at least a couple of different schools to get their input on how the program is. There is only so much you can gain from reading the website. If it is really what you want to do, start looking at the requirements and email the program director or assistant to see if you’re missing anything.

Currently it’s a little buried, but hopefully could get uprated. You can get to that by going to the community, click any post, click the three dots, click Community dropdown, and then either Sidebar, Unsubscribe, Block, etc.

First, I’m not a counselor but I highly recommend one. It is so useful to sort things out with someone. It sounds like you are conflicted between two bad options: conform to fit in, or be patronized. Those both suck and I can see why that can cause anguish.

Is there any way you can be around people that dont fit those two categories? Someone that you can relate to and feel more like yourself?

And some of what youre describing sounds similar to the Black exploitation in the film industry. People described their experience that they needed to act a certain way to “be Black” or they were not accepted. Just an idea, but could you put your art out there in a more anonymous way? The feedback you get might be more authentic, if that’s what you are looking for. Ideally you wouldnt need to do this, but unfortunately it is what some authors and artists have done to navigate the race-based treatment.

I hope the best for you. It’s a shit world sometimes.

This is the onion-ness we all deserve

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll definitely check that out! I found that when searching for “philosophy,” I get a lot of history of philosophy, and the ones that do bring new discussions are not usually picking themes that in all that interested in.

If you’re on iOS, Arctic made some big updates that make it arguably better than Voyager IMO. The biggest thing that got me was color picker themes, so you can literally make your own theme (and save and share them). Also the markdown is pretty great now. Voyager is still pretty solid and very good performance and features.
