Lmao that is a valid point.

Of course. And you realize balloons can have an advantage over satellites in certain situations?

Yep and just to note. There is currently a bug it seems where if you swipe too far, the gesture will have no effect. Instead swipe just a bit to reveal the symbol and it should work.

I’m just gonna be open minded about it and not jump to conclusions. I could see the US gov making it into a big deal for reasons and I could see it being a balloon to take pics of bases, etc on the ground. Both seem like logical outcomes. I mean it could be a weather balloon but I sorta doubt it based on what I know about weather balloons (I’m an amateur weather nerd). But I could be wrong! I’ll admit that. Gotta keep an open mind.

I don’t want a war with China, that would be awful. I’m just trying to be realistic about it. Seems silly to go through the trouble to make a surveillance craft like that and it not even have the capability to beam back any data.

Can’t say I believe that one bit. With how small transmitters can be these days, why wouldn’t it have one? Sounds to me like damage control. Not a whole lot of details in the article anyway.

Once again, freaking incredible. I look forward to testing! And might I say, the new icon is beautiful!!

Truly appreciate all the work you and anyone involved on this app (and lemmy in general of course) are putting in. It’s restoring that loss I’ve been feeling over the whole reddit situation.

I think it’ll take a while for us to know the real overall impact spez’s decision has made on Reddit’s user base. Until then, it’s really just speculation unless something concrete comes out (like financial reports etc).

Ah yep that’s the issue. I’m a big swiper and always tend to over swipe. I frequently accidentally downvote when I mean to upvote due to it.

I love when I come across an app that just really sucks me in and actually excites me when updates are available. I check the test flight app periodically throughout the day to see if memmy got an update and when it does it’s legit exciting for me. So I’m def onboard for starting on the betas!

I feel like the compact mode in general could really use some refining. It just looks kinda loose in a way. I usually prefer compact modes but for now I’m really loving the non compact mode.

24 is my GOAT so I’ll def have to give Jack Ryan a shot.

Ah as a workaround for now you can simply load your lemmy in browser and mark messages as read. Then restart memmy and it’ll be cleared.

I can’t seem to find a way either. I’m sure it’s being worked on and will be fixed soon.
