    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.

  • Legally blind woman left anxious and in tears after rideshare drivers refuse to pick her up 23 times in six weeks

    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.

  • For those out of the loop, [several Lemmy instances such as lemmy.world were hacked.](https://lemmy.world/post/1290412) [An update on what happened including steps for mitigation has been posted](https://lemmy.world/post/1293336). I thought it was worth bringing up seeing as partizle.com has custom emojis and thus vulnerable to the hack.

    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!

    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!

    Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. Finally completed the base game after falling off from the tediousness. I really hope the sequel addresses that issue because otherwise, it has fantastic combat in a world with mythical creatures.

    The app looks great! Unfortunately it keeps crashing immediately once I've logged in, and every time I open the app since. I have reinstalled the app, and the issue is reproducible.

    Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. Started it last year but fell off because of how tedious it was. With the announcement of a sequel I thought I'd get back to it. The combat is really something enjoyable.

    Can't believe I forgot all about this. It was the one thing I was sad to lose when I upgraded from my Nexus 5 to the Google Pixel. So simple but so useful.

    I just downloaded Obtainium but I'm noticing an issue. Maybe you can help me? For Thunder, because it's using an unconventional version naming system, Obtainium isn't detecting that my version wasn't actually the latest. Mine was 0.2.1+6 but 0.2.1+7 was out, and Obtanium said that I'm on 0.2.1+7.

    I've been using this extension for years. Very useful! Works on all sites with images, so it's been especially helpful when I'm viewing an image that doesn't enlarge; I simply scroll to zoom in.
