Okay, well Barack Obama stole my private jet (I have no proof of owning the jet).

Maybe dw.com can turn it into a 700-word story called “Is Obama Stealing Airplanes?”

They didn’t even show that this guy owns (or owned) the land…

(They even say he has no deed or proof.)

This is lazy clickbait journalism.

Answer (to the clickbait title): No.

Reason (from the article): The wind-farm land-rights were purchased by a chinese company for millions, directly from a Bosnian politician (and the bosnian politician had secured the land-rights from “local authorities”).

It says that right in the “article”.

…It’s a pretty lame “article”…

…clickbait title, zero evidence to support the claim, written in the style of a first-draft.

“I’d call this bullshit and wouldn’t recommend it.”

• Which statement are you calling “bullshit”?

• You wouldn’t recommend what?

I’m waiting for the math… Support your claim that you would “make a killing”.

I don’t see how you would…

The most you could possibly make would be $32.50 in an hour… (and that’s ONLY if you had a fare for ALL 60 minutes of an hour… and somehow still made less than $32.50 from those fares).

…And you’d be driving your own car and burning gas for that whole hour…

So show me (with math) how you’d be “making a killing”.

The central feature of their business IS having drivers WAITING when a ride is requested.

So yes - it would be fair if they included some “waiting time” for each ride (maybe up to 15 minutes of actual waiting time).

These apps ONLY have value if there are drivers WAITING when a ride is requested, so drivers should be paid for that.

Okay…

Give me the math of how this new wage would help you “make a killing”.

Keep in mind that this wage merely sets a floor for the specific-minutes when you have a fare.

• (And brother - driving for uber is not “running your own business”… it’s being maximally-exploited by a business… with no liability-protection, no security, and almost zero rights.)

If you wait 10 minutes for a fare… give a 20-minute ride to some suburban house… and then drive 20 minutes back to the city…

your pay would be $10.83 (with this new deal).

…that’s very different from $32.50 per hour.

• Does an airline baggage-handler only get paid for the “specific minutes” when he is lifting luggage?

• Does a cashier only get paid for “specific minutes” when there are customers in her line?

The original goal of this lawsuit was to classify drivers as employees under state law…

And that goal was ignored completely.

It’s not as much as it seems…

The wage is only “for time spent traveling to pick up riders, and transporting them to their destination”.

• No pay for driving back to the pickup area.

• No pay for waiting when there are no fares.

It’s a per-minute wage, and only for certain minutes.

Could you imagine… if someone spent a year on the JWST… then returned to earth…

how mellow that person would be.

I love the joy you feel from the appearance of a monarch - knowing what that signifies.

And I love the way you study the overall water channel.

I think you have to select multiple languages in settings.

Select “Undetermined, English, and any others” (and then save).

(this language setting affects the web app, mobile app, and search results)

That might fix it buddy.

Yeah, I understand what you mean (after a year of exploring the Web Socket).

That lemmy auth value is pulled from a JWT cookie in the browser - which you can access in JS by document.cookie. It allows user-specific API calls (retrieving saved posts, subscribed communities, etc).

Yes exactly - living on the edge!

One way to learn the new API is - explore the code of (similar) extensions and browser scripts, to see how they build and send their calls.

Is there a specific API call you’d like to make?

Maybe someone can reveal that method and endpoint.

This User Script called Fediverse Redirector auto-redirects all Community, Post, and User pages to your home instance. It works well.

• Just click install on that page - it will be added to TamperMonkey (or similar).

• Then click settings (under the script) and enter your home lemmy instance.

And to directly answer your question: the raw code is visible in that repo, so you could explore how the post redirect query was constructed.

Just pick one of the suggestions and start doing it.

There are a lot of great ideas in your other post.

Yes, this issue has been fixed and merged into 18.1 (the next lemmy version).

• You can see the lemmy-UI github issue here.

• You can see the fix/merge here.

And as a temporary fix (until 18.1 releases) - if you click the “create post” button, then click the “back” button, the subscribe button should magically appear.

You can see all open feature-requests and bugs in the memmy github repo.

In some cases, you can read dev comments about fixing that issue.

That’s true - Lemmy displays new comments above “top” comments, allowing them to be seen by everyone.
