That’s so good to hear! Glad it went well in the end.

For me, I moved cities a while ago and was very anxious about losing my doctor. I had been her patient for the last near decade after a string of doctors who looked like they hated their job. Happy to say my new doctor is quite caring. I’m also seeing another doctor who can prescribe me a new medication which I’m having high hopes for and he is quite decent.

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!

Check out https://beehaw.org/c/poc.

The app is going pretty well! It’s pretty smooth and quick. There’s just a few things I’d like to see addressed:

• the time and date for each post is way off. I’m guessing it’s using a certain timezone instead of my local time
• show the instance for each post. For example, I can’t tell if a post is on beehaw.org/c/technology or lemmy.ml/c/technology because it’s just shown as “c/technology”
• the username and time in the header can overlap as seen here
• open links in Custom Tabs
• the list of followed communities should also have their instance shown
• EDIT: a button to jump to next parent comment

And some other minor things that would be nice to have but not urgent

• option for a dark theme/background (not AMOLED black)
• ability to change font size. At the moment it is fine (thank you for not picking super small fonts like a lot of others!) but I’m sure it’ll be beneficial for others requiring more accessibility
• the list of followed communities is not in alphabetical order so it’s hard to navigate

Thanks for all your work so far!

Thank you so much for adding the ability to change the body and comment font size! This has been invaluable.

Okay TIL there are golden raspberries.

I’m not sure if it’s exactly the same thing, but you can click on Instances at the very bottom of the instance, or add “/instances” to the url e.g. https://lemmy.ml/instances to see the list of blocked instances.

This is why I’m too scared to see a physiotherapist or an occupational therapist, even when they advertise that they deal with chronic fatigue etc. I’m seeing that their work revolves around doing things, but that’s what’s making my symptoms and health worse.

It’s depressing having to explain to every health professional that the literal journey to attend their appointment is easily too much and affecting my health, even if it involves a short walk. If getting there and back is an issue, how is doing whatever they’re recommending in addition likely to help?
