You're missing the really obvious angle given that this is the BBC. She doesn't need to come down on whether it's good or bad at all. She simply needs to show that it's something interesting to look at and explain how it works which certainly is maths.

This sounds like a client problem. Modern Lemmy has community blocks as part of the insurance user profile. Have you tried web client or another app?
Sure, but 90% of the English speaking people online are Americans. I presumed it was in that context

disappearing menu bar
I keep running into a situation where the top menu bar disappears. I can scroll up down and enter/exit posts but I can't e.g. change filter settings because the interface elements for them aren't there. Most recently this happened when I blocked a community- my feed was reset and my menu bar disappeared.

Options for non-smart TV in UK 2024?
I am considering replacing my old 50" 1080p TV which I use with (external) Chromecast and Roku. I would like a 4K display 60" or greater but I really, really don't want any smart features. I am aware that I could purchase a commercial display to achieve this and that's my fallback option. Can anyone here make any useful recommendations? I am in the UK so e.g. 'Sceptre' is not available here.
In advance, with respect, I am technically capable (check my post history) but could I ask to please avoid threads along the lines of:
- 'non-smart TVs aren't a thing' - fallback is a commercial display
- 'Nobody wants/buys non-smart TVs' - I do
- 'Any TV not connected to internet is dumb'/ 'Just don't connect it' - This is no longer true since many TVs require a setup before use involving internet access and/or will seek access via open wifi/bluetooth/HDMI.
Thanks!
Edit:
Some commenters seem to be struggling with the 'why do you care if it connects?'. Some examples why:

Lemmy 0.19 compatibility?
Two instances I have accounts with have switched to Lemmy 0.19. This is a breaking change for many apps, including Connect. Is there any news re supporting this in the near future or is it time to look for another app?
Edit:
This is now working for me (at least for 2 separate instances) with Connect version 1.0.153 (details in comments below). Thanks so much for rapid response!
