  • We’re in agreement, then. It’s a shame that the woman was straight up executed for such a tiny amount over the limit. I bet most of us couldn’t even feel that 15 grams of difference if placed on our palms. But that’s how it is in SG despite us outsiders wishing for a less than lethal judgement, and they do try to warn people of the consequences of possession at every step of the way to that country. So the onus is, to an extent, on the visitors as well to protect themselves.

    I watched a few vids in the past where random Singaporeans were asked what they thought of the capital punishment and while most agreed it was severe, they also said it made sense considering their country was hamstrung by widespread opium addiction in the past. Unfortunate, but if the Singaporeans themselves don’t push for the change, it’s unlikely to happen anytime soon.







  • I don’t think Reddit will feel a noteworthy sting anytime soon. But that’s okay. Like some here have already said, what matters is fediverse ultimately growing big enough for us to have a sizeable group of people to interact with regarding hobbies or any random topic posted here.

    Although, I can’t move on without whining about the bug or whatever it was that prevented me from commenting anywhere for the last …almost a month! On rare occasions, I couldn’t even see anything on my feed so Lemmy clearly has ways to go in regards to matters outside of its contents.




  • That depends on the phone. I remember some old Samsung flagships using a native 16:9 sensor. That was over at least half a decade ago though. Another device with such a setup I remember would be the Nokia 8 Sirocco.

    And, the now extinct Windows phones had atypical arrangement where neither aspect ratios would result in the full usage of the sensor, though 4:3 got closer. The Sony Xperia 1 V has multi-aspect ratios too, afaik, where you’d gain some horizontal FOV at the expense of the same vertically when switching from 4.3:3 to 16:9 or longer.

    For the vast majority of the phones and their users out there though, I agree with you. I’ve seen way too many people go with 18-21:9 pictures, probably thinking they’re capturing more of the scene as they see that aspect ratio fill up their screen.


  • I deleted my account so there’s no going back for me. Not that I would anyway. I’d be lying if I said I don’t miss some of the subs I used to lurk on there, but that’s not something I can’t move on from. I still have many informative comments and posts I’d saved up in RES though.

    Speaking of which, I came to know way too late that the max number of saved items in Reddit is 1000. Does anyone here have a clue on whether or not Lemmy has a similar restriction? I lost many good posts and comments I’d saved up for years due to that limitation until I switched to RES saving.
