News@lemmy.world•Tom Lehrer, song satirist and mathematician, dies at 97

It is a sobering thought that one of his NYT obituary writers died two years ago.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Today, the Mexican Government introduced its new chocolate bar, priced at less than $1USD. Made of 50% cocoa, powdered milk, vanilla. No refined sugar, no artificial flavourings.
4·1 year agoTo be clear, this product is still 35% (natural cane) sugar (by weight, I assume).

I’m curious what set of tools and services you settled on using instead.

World News@lemmy.world•Wisconsin woman missing for more than 60 years found ‘alive and well’.English
41·1 year agoAgreed on both parts.
I’m glad she escaped, and I hope the kids did too, whether with her or grandparents or through some other mechanism.

BuyFromEU@feddit.org•You can now check and filter apps by their Country of Origin on AlternativeTo!English
2·1 year agoI see the filtering option. But I don’t see, on mobile at least, how to choose multiple options, so that I can get everything but something.
Also, when I look at an individual product, I see how it is categorized and tagged, but that doesn’t seem to visibly include country of origin.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Lemmy has the ideal number of posts for me. Just enough to have a good time but not too many that I'm scrolling forever
3·1 year agoIn Boost, I’m happy with Card View that shows pretty big thumbnail and a healthy extract.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Lemmy has the ideal number of posts for me. Just enough to have a good time but not too many that I'm scrolling forever
2·1 year agoCorrect. But the additional feature is available on some clients. The additional feature is to mark posts as read when you merely scroll past them. That way I don’t have to keep scrolling past the same post every time I check Lemmy. I mean, I still scroll past the same link multiple times when different people have posted it to different instances, but I never see the exact same post twice.

7·1 year agoI’m using the Boost for Lemmy app on Android. My memory is that the Sync for Lemmy app also has the “mark read on scroll past” feature. I thought I read a discussion that implied that some web Uis for Lemmy also had this, but that’s not what I use and not what I know.
What client are you using to read Lemmy?

50·1 year agoUsing a combination of top day, mark read on scroll, and hide read, I regularly reach the end of the internet, and am glad.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump Says He Knows Nothing About Bombshell Article In The Atlantic
15·1 year agoIt is laughable to think this is true because Trump follows news about himself and his administration quite closely, and this is all over the news.
It is also characteristic of Trump to say he “knows nothing about” all kinds of things that he wishes he knew nothing about, from George Papadopoulos to Project 2025.
I do not assume he is telling the truth. I assume he is lying. My interpretation is that the commenter you are responding to also thinks that he is lying, because it would be laughable to think this is true.





Epstein also owned Great St James (67 ha, 165 acres), which shields the view of Little St James from the mainland.
