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.

Thanks for doing the research! I’ve been wondering what it was.

Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen. Finally completed the base game after falling off from the tediousness. I really hope the sequel addresses that issue because otherwise, it has fantastic combat in a world with mythical creatures.

Okay TIL there are golden raspberries.

Yay! Exciting. Thank you!

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’ve been using this extension for years. Very useful! Works on all sites with images, so it’s been especially helpful when I’m viewing an image that doesn’t enlarge; I simply scroll to zoom in.

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

Oh sorry, not sure about kbin. I guess you can just post directly then.
