It's apparently impossible to order something from the Belgian Amazon site to have it shipped to the US. Is this true, and is it true for every non-US Amazon site? in c/[email protected]

Does the aftershave contain alcohol? There are usually shipping restrictions on things like perfume because of this.

I’ve had companies write clauses in their employee manual which states you must apply and get approval for using your paid vacation days a month in advance. When you sign the contract, you agree to these rules.

The thing is, where I live, there is no requirement to receive approval, and you really only need to give one day of notice (which has precedent in court). The use of these days off if the employee’s legal right.

The really shitty thing is that companies can legally write illegal clauses in their contracts, they just can’t enforce them. However, if an employee is young and doesn’t know their rights, they will just follow the rules blindly (I know I did).

Also, leave only accumulated for two years here, so you have to use it or lose it.

So the moral of the story is to educate yourself on your local labor laws.

Has anyone ever seen a "10A" USB-C cable and can tell what their purpose is? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I’ll save you guys from watching. It was just a bog standard crappy USB C cable. This video reeks of advertising to me. The tool which was used to identify the cable (which tbh I thought was pretty cool, so I searched it using the obvious hints in the video) is a kickstarter which is starting sometime today. Awfully sus!

Healthcare: How Long Do Patients Have To Wait? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

They should include more countries for this to be a fair comparison.

Here in Japan you have to wait zero days to see the equivalent of a GP (a doctor of internal medicine is what would be considered the closest) unless it is a weekend or holiday. But even then, there are some clinics open on those days (they share the responsibility on a rotating basis).

You simply rock up and wait to be seen. Generally you won’t be waiting too long. Maybe 30 to 60 minutes. With pharmacies conveniently located next door, you’ll be in and out in no time when you’re feeling crook.

Thanks for making this app.

The bar at the bottom seems to scroll up before being hidden when scrolling. I’ll attach a video in a moment to illustrate this.

Also I only noticed this after upgrading to ios18 last night.

Thanks for. All the hard work which you’re putting into the app. It is my favorite!

I was greeted with a beta expired message today.

Should I just start using the AppStore version? Will I lose any settings if I install it over the beta?

Thanks in advance

It sucks, yes. But, if you select the “web” tab instead of the “all” tab at the top of the page, you’ll get something more akin to what you’re looking for. There’s probably even a way to script it so that it defaults to that view.

iOS 17.5 Attention Aware bug (lemmy.world)
 

Has anyone else noticed that alarms and timers don’t reduce in volume if you are using the device, or when you pick up the device and it recognises you with Face ID anymore?

It’s really annoying to get a full volume alarm when you’re using the device.

iPhone 13 if it matters. Toggled attention aware on and off and also restarted the phone without luck.

[bug] viewing saved comments crashes the app (lemmy.world)
submitted 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hi there, thanks for the great software. Currently on 0.4.1 (4), but I’ve noticed the bug on a few previous versions.

When viewing saved comments under the user profile, everything appears fine. However, if you try to scroll it instantly crashes back to the springboard. I have a suspicion that it is something to do with the fact that I have saved many comments which include YouTube links. Has anyone else noticed this?

Edit: switched to another account to play around, and I could replicate the crash just by saving a comment which contained an embedded picture.

Denying same-sex marriage is unconstitutional, a Japanese high court says (apnews.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/13104054

A Japanese high court ruled Thursday that denying same-sex marriage is unconstitutional and called for urgent government action to address the lack of any law allowing for such unions.

The court does not have the power to overturn the current marriage law, which has been interpreted to restrict marriage as between a man and a woman. Government offices may continue to deny marriage status to same-sex couples unless the existing law is revised to include LGBTQ+ couples, or a new law is enacted that allows for other types of unions.

[bug] swiping back doesn’t honor text size (lemmy.world)
 

First, thank you for building this wonderful app.

This is my favorite feature of the app: the ability to return to the previous post by swiping from right to left.

With the latest TestFlight version, I noticed a new bug: the text size on the returning post is set to the system size, and once complete open, switches to the user’s choice of text size. The result is a little jarring.

To replicate, set the text time to something other than the system size. View a post, go back. And then swipe across to return to the post. You should be able to see the effect.

Suggestion: Thumbnails in the feed should have an overlay to indicate what kind of content they are (lemmy.world)
 

I love this app, and keep coming back to it after testing other apps, too.

However, I find myself tapping thumbnails which I think are images, which instead open another site. Maybe it is my way of browsing, but I have noticed that other apps I display the content type, which makes for a more desirable browsing experience for me at least. Is this something that is in the works?
