I purchased a used iPhone SE 2 for my son from Amazon for $140. This phone had a brand new battery and the screen and back glass are flawless. I was very impressed.
However, if you love the iPhone SE 1, I think that the iPhone 13 mini would replace it well. You would keep the squared off aesthetic, but gain a lot of usable screen real estate. The latest iPhone SE phones are the same size as an iphone 6, and similar to the mini, but they have lower end features and the round aesthetic. The only deal breaker I see is that the SE phones have touch ID rather than Face ID. Not sure which she would prefer. (I would love to have both!)
The myColorado app is great as it stores a legal ID (except for police interactions???) as well as insurance and vaccine info. Colorado also supports the Apple wallet implementation, which is absolutely useless. The Apple wallet version can only be used at an airport, but when when I tried to use it at DIA the TSA officer just said "no". I think Apple may be the one who is doing it wrong...
I think we all need to do a little more commenting on top of our lurking. I would also like to reiterate my thanks. But mostly, we just need more comments!
This instance and more communities
I want to use this community as the "general" community of this instance. There is already a much more popular Colorado community on lemmy.world, and it is unlikely that this will replace it or properly augment it in that same way.
Next, I wanted to create a community on this instance that is new and useful, not just a replication of something on other instances. The first thing that seems to not exist in its own right and makes sense on this instance is Colorado Camping and Hiking.
With all of the lemmy.world ddos attacks and the brief time when the .ml sites had trouble with their TLD status, I think it shows that a little bit of diversification is helpful.
Anyone else have an idea for a community that would make sense here?
I know I'm a fanboy, but I have been using apple maps since iOS 6 beta and it has been great for me. Maybe I just happened to be in parts of the world where it just worked better. Often when I would find an issue, I would check google, and google had the same issue.
Club Dread is my favorite Broken Lizard film. I guess that is my humor, and it is not for everyone.
The first time I read this comment it was a word salad. Now I’m in a better place and it is absolute poetry.
Subscription fees are part of this but I think the direct pipeline to the customer data is a bigger factor.
I switched from lastpass to 1Password shortly after they sold to logmein or whatever. I have lately been eyeing the whole suite offered by https://proton.me
I would entertain the idea of using Apple keychain, but I am really hooked on password sharing with the family. Have not seen a good implementation from Apple yet, but maybe it is on the way (or I missed it!).
I did a bad job on my DuckDuckGo'ing initially. After a second try and better keywords I found this document: https://www.denvergov.org/content/dam/denvergov/Portals/747/documents/policy/DPR-Alcohol-Policy.pdf
The most useful text is found in Section 2, and I am highlighting it here for convenience.
Possession, consumption, sale or service must be in compliance with State Law including, but not limited to, no consumption by persons under the age of 21 and as otherwise prohibited. In addition to the above restrictions, the following restrictions apply unless authorized by a Concession License, a Contract, or a duly issued Permit:
- Kegs and glass containers are prohibited.
- Alcohol Beverages may not be possessed or consumed in parkways.
- Alcohol Beverages may not be possessed or consumed within the boundary of any pool.
- Alcohol Beverages may not be possessed or consumed within the boundary of any playground.
- Alcohol Beverages may not be possessed or consumed within twenty-five (25) feet of any entrance to a recreation or senior center.
- Alcohol Beverages may not be possessed or consumed within the boundary of any skate park.
- Alcohol Beverages may not be possessed or consumed within the boundary of any bike park.

Denver city parks alcohol policy
cross-posted from: https://centennialstate.social/post/39084
Most city parks previously had a policy easily visible and posted indicated that 3.2 beer was the only allowed alcoholic beverage. I have recently found signs at Jefferson Park and the pirate ship park at Sloans lake indicating that hard alcohol, glass bottles and kegs are prohibited, but the language seems to specifically leave beer and wine (without glass) off the prohibition.
Jefferson Park sign
Sloans Lake old 3.2 sign
Sloans lake new sign
Does anyone have a reference for the generic city wide policy? There is no sign at my local park, and I want to know what the default setup is.

Awesome! Thank you!
Lightning was amazing when it came out, and helped to push USB-C. Still, its time has come. I’m anxious to ditch lightning and then only need usb-C for iphone, iPad, and laptop. Then I can use Apple Watch charger to charge watch and AirPods Pro 2. With some mag safe chargers around the house, I’ll be set.
This totally makes sense. I get it now. So I will just make sure to subscribe here, and start posting from here.
I finally counted how many communities show up on one page. it is 50. So I only see 54 communities in total when I look at "All" communities from this instance. On lemmy.world there are more than 500 communites that show up in "All" for me (i got tired of clicking after 10 pages)
The list of communities on the first page on lemmy.world and centennialstate.social are pretty similar. Just for a point of reference, I went to the 5th page on lemmy.world and chose a random community: https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
That community is not showing up for me on this instance.
another random one: https://lemmy.world/c/humor does not show up in the list of communities for All on this instance.
@[email protected] Thank you!
Only a page and 4 more communities show up here
I’m seeing a lot less communities on this instance when I look at “All”. Are we blocked from several instances, limiting what we can see?
Thank you! Also, hearing about the crazy stuff on lemmy.world I missed today on a 39 mile (Bosch pedal assisted) bike ride with the kids show how everyone needs more than one instance. Thanks for keeping this alive in this time of trying to figure it out.
Cherry Creek Bike Trail Status
Wanted to check on the trail status before trying to use it today. This popped to the top of DDG. There is also an interesting chart for the level of the cherry creek. https://waterdata.usgs.gov/monitoring-location/06713500/#parameterCode=00065&period=P7D
Bottom line is that today the trail is only flooded in one place, but muddy in several.
New progressive web app
wefwef — a mobile-first Lemmy web client. Contribute to aeharding/wefwef development by creating an account on GitHub.
This progressive web app does not need a beta invite and should work on android. It is only being tested for iOS at the moment, but it is very slick so far.
The rapid pace of development on lemmy and lemmy apps is wild to be witnessing live.
Memmy app is good
I’m still getting used to it, but it already seems better than mlem. It already supports iPad and swipe to upvote/reply as well as multiple accounts.
https://testflight.apple.com/join/6jaRU6rD
I know mlem is out of beta invites, but this one is better and I think is just one dev.
Thinking on a welcome message to post on Reddit.
This instance will need a little more traction to be useful. I’m thinking it may be useful to collaborate on a welcome message to post on Reddit. I was thinking that the r/Colorado subreddit would be a good test as it is a much smaller community than r/Denver.
Part of my thinking is that we should advertise not as a replacement for Reddit, but an addition, and an insurance policy of sorts. Basically not to oversell it, but also not to attract everyone, just those who are curious. If we can get that up, and some of us here can add comments and some updoots, it should give some much needed visibility and that logical Colorado landing spot for those who just don't know what to do.
Issues with multiple communities with the same name
Is there an issue with different instances having the same community name? I read that it may be an issue, but it was not clear.
This is a neat site for tracking the fediverse and this instance.
