Yesterday I found Interstellar which has this feature. I assume mainly because it is not only a Lemmy app, but also a PieFed one, which has this feature in the reference frontend (AFAIK).

Are there other Lemmy apps or frontends that support thread merging?

A former U.S. Army general tasked with overseeing U.S.-led military support for Ukraine lost classified maps on a train in Europe and was concussed after an "overindulgence in alcohol" during a dinner in Ukraine, according to a report by the U.S. Department of Defense's Inspector General.

The 50-page report, dated March 12, found that Retired Army Major General Antonio Aguto Jr., who led the German-based Security Assistance Group-Ukraine (SAG-U), violated policy in his handling of classified maps while on a State Department-chartered trains.

SAG-U, which was established in November 2022 with about 300 military personnel, assists with "coordinating the training and equipping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine," out of Wiesbaden, Germany, according to the Pentagon.

I’ve often heard that the reason Windows has suffered from bloat and so much has been built on top of ancient underlying technologies, partially to ensure compatibility with old software.

If something like Windows 11 requires specific hardware in order to install it, why does it need to accommodate compatibility for archaic devices/software?

Would it not be preferable for Microsoft to start from scratch with an OS that is considerably more efficient and cut-down for newer devices, similar to something like Apple’s MacOS transition from Intel to Apple Silicon, and just provide security updates for the legacy operating systems that would be in use on un-upgradable hardware?

Sri Lanka declined permission for two U.S. combat aircraft to land at a civilian airport earlier this month, President Anura ​Kumara Dissanayake told parliament on Friday.

The U.S. had requested permission ‌for the two aircraft to land at the Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport in the southern part of the country from March 4-8, Dissanayake told lawmakers.

"They wanted to bring two ​warplanes armed with eight anti-ship missiles from a base in Djibouti," ​he said during a statement.

Do you prefer the hulking majesty of a Galaxy class, the sleek curves of an Intrepid class, the retro-futuristic Constitution or something else?

I've grown quite fond of the Danube class runabout. Small, agile, warp capable, and weapons. Most of the amenities of a larger ship in a smaller package. Where the large ships are like flying cities, the runabouts are more like space RVs and the quadrant their open road. There's just something more personal about them that appeals to me.

Regime will do whatever it takes to cling on to power – including sacrificing economies of other Gulf states

Brinkmanship, the ability to take a country to the edge of war without plunging it into the abyss, was the cornerstone of cold war diplomacy. But in our different, more unstable times – in which the line between state and non-state actors has blurred, and weapons of war have diffused – the world this week finally tipped over the edge, and suddenly it is in freefall.

The first six days of the Iran war cost the US $12.7bn (£9.5bn), but now the Pentagon is seeking as much as $200bn in military funding. Oil at $125 a barrel is no longer an Iranian, or Russian, fantasy. The crown jewel of Qatar, Ras Laffan – the world’s largest liquefied natural gas plant – may not reopen fully for five years, at a cost of $20bn a year. Other combustible oil depots in the Gulf, from Bahrain to Abu Dhabi, are exposed to Iran’s low-cost drones. Then add the human cost of 18,000 civilians injured and more than 3,000 killed in Iran alone.

The regime in Tehran, fighting for its survival, had long warned that if it were attacked it would retaliate by targeting American bases in the region. Yet Donald Trump, the US president, seemed surprised when it did so. Inured to decades of isolation and condemnation, Ali Khamenei, the late supreme leader, said at the beginning of February: “The Americans should know that if they start a war, this time it will be a regional war.”

Medics and officials say there is systematic use of double-tap strikes in campaign to make the south uninhabitable

Lebanese healthcare workers and officials say Israeli bombings have deliberately targeted medical workers and facilities in south Lebanon, including through the use of double-tap strikes, in what they describe as a systematic effort to make the area unlivable.

Since the war began on 2 March, Israel has struck at least 128 medical facilities and ambulances across south Lebanon, killing 40 healthcare workers and wounding 107, according to the Lebanese ministry of health. The war started when Hezbollah launched rockets at Israel, triggering an Israeli military campaign.

Most of the strikes on medics happened while they were sitting in ambulances or at first aid centres, several of which have been destroyed in south Lebanon. Israel has also carried out at least five double-tap strikes, a tactic in which an initial strike is followed by a pause, allowing medical workers to arrive before the area is bombed for a second time.

I'm using e/os and I want to be sure that, when connected to my local network, my local dns server is used, however, no matter what I do, my phone always use google's one. Is there any way to fix this?

Iran’s attack this week on Qatar’s natural gas export facility threatens to disrupt not just world energy markets but also global technology supply chains because the helium it produces is crucial for a range of advanced industries.

Best known as the gas that makes party balloons float, helium is also a key input in chipmaking, space rockets and medical imaging.

Qatar supplies a third of the world’s helium, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, but the nation had to halt production shortly after the war erupted three weeks ago. The latest Iranian strikes against the region’s energy producing infrastructure have added to supply worries, with Qatar’s state-owned gas company saying it would crimp helium exports by 14%.

Don't know if anyone uses it, but I use it a LOT. It's the main way i consume media. It's no longer maintained as of a month ago. Hopefully someone forks it.

A global crash is about to happen by 2040-2050, but billionaires' heads could be on the guillotine 8-10 years sooner, when the price of everything soars into space, and they, of course, do not want this, therefore, they decided to accelerate the collapse and destroy Internet with AI to avoid it. As an example, you can read about the Great French Revolution of 1789-1799. I don't remember the exact dates, you can look it up on Wikipedia or somewhere else.

That's why billionaires and others are so active in promoting AI and investing incredible money in it in the hope that it will help fix the situation or at least give them time to take a break and hide in bunkers, and in 2027 they plan to use AI agents to charm people and scare them away from resistance, because these AI agents will sing perfect songs better than any singers and human fantasies, draw masterpieces of art better than any person in seconds and for any tastes for any person, and not only photos, but also animations and videos + copy the souls of real creators and even improve them at the request of people without copyright problems. Add to this deepfakes and wars, as well as news that will also distract people from real problems.

And when the AI bubble finally bursts in 2029-2033 then the Great Depression 2.0 will begin, which will not end like in the 1900s, but will gradually return us to the level of the civilization of the 1800s without the Internet, computers and electricity, and the billionaires will hide in bunkers. And all because of the fear of the magical guillotine.

Well that was quick

Hi everyone

I decided to give home assistant a go as I'm tired of the lifx app. Plus, it means I can move to different brands of lights and control it on the same app.

I am not overly tech savvy but I know enough to operate my TrueNAS server for my needs. That being said I'm always learning and emjoy it.

I installed it through the truenas apps page (basically just docker). Install was successful, I created a user account and logged in on my phone through the app. So far so good.

I went to search for lifx bulbs but it's not finding anything.

I'm wondering, have I missed any steps to ensure HA is able to discover bulbs?

Any advice appreciated
