I am begging you to fix this edit bug

Arctic is the best iOS Lemmy app I've found. Thank you for making it!

But Arctic regularly loses my previous changes after an edit.

  1. Write a post, ideally a long one.
  2. Post it.
  3. Edit it several times in the next few minutes.
  4. Lose previous edits as you get a random revision of your post when you hit Edit.

The simplest solution would be to maintain a local post/comment cache for a period of 10 minutes or so after each post/comment. When you submit a post/comment or save an edit, it writes to the local cache. The text box on the edit screen would then load from that first, guaranteeing you don't lose changes due to eventual consistency delays.

Meet the Trump Voters Downplaying Hits to Their 401(k)s

From the Wall Street Journal. Select quotes, rearranged for maximum irony:

The average 401(k) balance was $131,700 at the end of 2024.

“What’s more important to me than having a few extra dollars in my retirement is that this country is set up for success,” Paris said.

The couple have lost $70,000 in retirement savings since January.

“He’s doing some hard work, some things that are very difficult for people to understand and difficult for people to accept,” Williams said, “but it’ll be to our long-term benefit.”

Meanwhile, the share of Americans who haven’t retired and are confident in their retirement prospects fell to 67% from 74% the prior year.

She said she takes solace in the fact that Trump is surrounded by a cabinet full of handpicked experts whose advice she thinks could help avoid further losses.

Trump’s Call to Scrap ‘Horrible’ Chip Program Spreads Panic

Opinionated summary:

  • Despite Republican assurances, Trump called the CHIPS Act “horrible” and pushed for its scrapping, creating chaos for an industry already struggling with uncertainty.
  • The Trump administration has already sabotaged the program by laying off key staff and considering changes to the projects, showing its disdain for U.S. industrial growth.
  • Industry leaders, who have already committed billions to U.S. chip production, are now left in limbo, thanks to Trump’s shortsighted, destructive rhetoric.
