Walmart Access Update 🛒
Over the past three months, our Walmart Access Partnership has been a huge success, with Explorers in nearly all 50 states using this opportunity to enhance their shopping experiences. It’s been great to see how much this partnership has meant to so many of you.
As the pilot phase wraps up on February 16, the Walmart access offer will be on hold while Walmart reviews and considers continuing this offering. We’re hopeful this partnership will continue on a permanent basis, and we want Walmart to know just how valuable it’s been for our community.
If you haven’t had a chance to check it out yet, we encourage you to visit Walmart with this offer before the pilot ends. And if this program has made an impact on you, please share your story with us—your feedback can help show Walmart how important #AccessForAll truly is.
Aira access is now available for free at Walmart locations US-wide, and while shopping at Walmart.com. Learn more and find a location near you.Hannah Griffin (Aira)

Very popular CNN host Jim Acosta was always challenging Trump’s false narratives, but now that Trump is back in office, CNN decided to push his show from 22:00 to 00:00.
Jim Acosta responded by quiting live on air, saying “One final message: Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope.”

Does "Save to folder" function work for you on the current stable and dev?
When ever I enter a folder and confirm, the browser (Firefox) freezes until I refresh it. The browser asks on refresh if I really want to leave the site since it is still processing.
After the manual refresh, the site is correctly saved.
Background: I was diving in the Code to adjust the color for the "save to folder" dialog, which is actually colorbox. Are we interested to make it a modal like the compose window?
I already fixed the color appearance, but am reluctant to create a PR on a may be faulty feature in general.
PS: I am so grateful for the dev container for friendica, it simplifies the dev process at leat for ui tremendously! ❤
@Der Marek The feature works for me, I've fixed the awkward UX recently on develop: github.com/friendica/friendica…
Improving the display would be welcome, by using the regular modal window instead of the the colorbox for example.
Ahh okay, thank your very much! I pulled your PR and now the save works like a charm.
On the other hand, the background color is not fixed for frio dark / black.
I created an issue on github, elaborating my assumption for the cause for better discussion:
