In Boost, I'm happy with Card View that shows pretty big thumbnail and a healthy extract.

Apparently yes: https://old.lemmy.ca/post/1605561

Correct. 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.

I'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?

Using a combination of top day, mark read on scroll, and hide read, I regularly reach the end of the internet, and am glad.

It 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.

I tried to be a good citizen and search for a similar request, but I failed to put the right keywords together.

Yes, thanks. I have found that. But a long press doesn't save a lot of time over a short click. I'm looking to scroll right by.

Key sequence? Chord progression? Story plot? Emotional journey? Dramatic arc?

In addition to the other answers: Great Replacement Theory.

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore.

Republican politicians have used the conspiracy theory to discredit the Democrats, falsely accusing them of inviting migrants to the country who would then give the Democratic Party an electoral edge.

I'm not sure of its sourcing but I just bought the Shoppers Drug Mart Life brand. Does anyone know where it's actually made?

Who's gonna tell him?

The earliest known use of the name America dates to April 25, 1507, when it was applied to what is now known as South America. It is generally accepted that the name derives from Amerigo Vespucci, the Italian explorer, who explored the new continents in the following years on behalf of Spain and Portugal, with the name given by German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller.

So your first common ancestors are your great great grandparents, so that's third cousin, and they're a generation older than you, so once removed. Third cousin once removed.

I believe that the answer is second cousin once removed.

I believe you need to count the distance to the common ancestor from the older generation of the two people being related.

I agree that the first common ancestor is OP's great-great-grandparent. But only OP's relation's great-grandparent. So OP's parent and OP's relation are second cousins.

Then the removed takes you down the tree from OP's parent to OP.

I could be wrong, but my impression is that there is less politics and less bias involved in defining words and and providing pronunciations and etymologies then there is an articles about history and politics and people.

I especially like Wiktionary from the point of view of exploring cognates between languages and etymologies that cross language boundaries, in a big dictionary that covers many languages all at once.

Ah. I get it now.

My work is forcing me to use Edge, and Edge is giving me news when I open up a new tab, and I'm upset to notice that the news seems to alternate between Raw Story and Daily Mail for "balance".

The choice of the Lemmy title to match the Raw Story title is understood.

I'm giving the more general guidance to do the extra work to track down Raw Story's source, the Guardian in this case, and to link directly to that.

Raw Story is always a repost, generally sensationalized, and not always with a link to the source.
