Even if you knew what to do I find those captchas for archive links never work. It will just make me keep completing them forever and never show me the site.

To get around this and not disconnect your VPN, search for the page you are looking for with startpage then open the link with the "view annonymous" option and it'll open it via a proxy.

I only played Vice City on release and that didn't have bikes so I'll look forward to the updated post of "I got 20 BMX's into the VCS garage xD

Hope you can achieve your dreams!

This was possible in both 3 and Vice City on the PS2 so I guess it just carried over to these versions.

What? No one should be using Amazon but especially not if you are at all privacy conscious, on top of that OP said they buy as little online as possible. Mullvad you can shove cash in an envelope and send it to them, why would you purposefully shit on your own privacy to buy a gift card through Amazon?

100% going to places like Japan and seeing how it could be with proper organisation and funding just makes it hit home how lack lustre it is here.

However at least it isn't as dire as the US I guess!

I love trains and would rather use then over most options for non local travel but the trains here can be fucking dog shit and are massively over priced for the service.....

The album is fucking great, as are the two following albums from them!

It isn't that bad but it is 100% the worst track on that album and probably one of their worst songs (although their newest album more recently was pretty Meh)

I skip it every single time I listen to the album.

Prepare for the worst tasting shit you'll probably ever smoke, it's like smoking mothballs.

 

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone can help me with this question before I spend my money on a different mount for this caliper.

I am going to increase my front rotor size but what is printed on the side of my current mount has me confused. It says 160mm or 180mm implying that this mount can be used for both but surely the pads need to be in a different position for each size of rotor? I can't just bang a 180mm rotor on and change nothing else and expect it to work fine can I?

Can anyone clarify for me what this text on the side of the mount is getting at, am I able to use this mount for the bigger rotor somehow? If so how?

I plan on taking it apart this weekend and trying it out for sizing before I order a different mount but in my mind the caliper would need to be pushed further out to make space for the increase in size for the rotor and was hoping someone could enlighten me on what this text actually means whilst I plan the work in my head :D

 

This album is chefs kiss right up until the last three tracks. Don't keep up with this genre at all any more but think I'm gonna have to delve into more new releases!

 

So, every other month it seems I go and try to find a different app for Lemmy that generally performs better in terms of some issues I have with Connect. As usual today I have done this and realised I really like this app and others just fall flat for various different reasons as always happens.

So I guess this is a request to please update connect just to fix a few bugs and stop some frustrations in my day to day use. Anyone else that has reoccurring issues maybe please just add to this thread in the hopes of just ironning out a few issues that ruin the experience of what otherwise is a fucking great app!

My first major issue is the handling of images. This issue was introduced in the last update I believe. Image loading can be painfully slow sometimes which it never was prior but is something I can live with, what is more frustrating is when an image is present but blurry as a lot appear whilst "loading" but then upon completion it displays the following error page instead of the image -

If I download the image from this screen it will save the correct image so there is an issue somewhere with the image itself being displayed within app. I haven't seen this error with gifs however they will sometimes just never load showing a black screen with no error, I believe this is only with jpeg?

The other most frustrating thing to deal with is the app refreshing itself when you switch to another app on your phone. This does not happen all the time but does it often enough to be very frustrating. Even when I am in the middle of a reply to a comment or post, I switch to a browser or whatever to copy a link and switch back and the app will refresh itself to "frontpage: hot" feed. This is especially frustrating when trying to reply to ransom threads on /all as I then may never find what I wanted to reply to again or it takes an inordinate amount of time scrolling.

In a similar vein if you do post a reply to something, after that reply has been sent it will again default back to "frontpage: hot" so by responding to any threads you totally lose your place on a feed, as someone who browses all a lot this is incredibly frustrating! Again, it never did this in the past that I remember.

Moderator tools would also be amazing but I dont really care to much about this when compared to these issues above.

Eternity is the closest I've found to the experience I get here but the deal breaker there for me is it won't download anything unless it has notification permissions and nothing gets notification permissions!
