This is not the first post where I feel it but I love it so much that we have a lot of people on Lemmy that can talk about things not related to computers!

It's interesting to me that articles mention godot before unreal. I mean this is not the first time I see it

Being able to change volume and songs without picking up my phone from pocket is also very convenient.

Wired headsets can do that too

I don't use spotify, and I thought those are volume buttons, and did not understand where are the like and dislike buttons until I read the post. I think this is just a dumb design choice.

That's very weird as with docker on windows you technically run your containers in a linux vm, and besides that, in my experience windows is not nearly stable enough to be useful for running services.
All while I have been deploying selfhosted services for myself without problems on Linux for years. My only problem has been the constantly overloaded system, but that's no surprise when you run heavy services on the 10+ year old portable hard drive system disk. Windows would only perform worse in that environment.

Are we really making a tantrum about a default setting? One that is (or rather would be) a sensible choice? Or am I missing the bigger picture?

If the devs wanted to put some intrusive default settings (like a central image-upload checker) then I would understand, but this is a fucking boolean for whether to allow infinite scrolling on the bundled frontend.
This is what server admins are for: to config their servers in a way they see fit for their communities.

And about the content URLs. Later on they agreed on accepting it if someone implemented it well, even if they said they won't work on it for now because there are more important things to get done (and let's be honest, that's true).

It's their partner. Maybe OP just wants to get rid of microsoft in their home network and the household, which is not an absurd thing I think.

I doubt DND (Do Not Disturb) hides those notification icons on any phones. It's purpose is just to mute the sound and vibration of most of them.

but who would have thought something that sounds as simple as wanting to RDP across 4 monitors would be so damn difficult.

The ubuntu unstability surprised me (not that I would recommend it anyways), but this didn't. Isn't RDP a proprietary protocol of Microsoft? Probably not too many use it in the Linux world

Fortunately not everyone lives in the US

I mostly use bluetooth, but the jack of my phone is not sitting there unused. I have wired headphones too, and I frequently use my phone as a microphone (because it is one) by connecting it to my computer by a jack cable.

Also, the next headphone of mine will probably be wired. Always keeping it charged is not really a problem, but the privacy aspect of Bluetooth has started to disturb me.
With a wired connection, you exactly know and control who connects to your devices, and at the same time you don't announce to the world that you are here.

Also, as I understand you can't use USB-C for audio and charging or data transfer at the same time, or even all 3 at the same time. Is that right?
That is critical functionality for me. Audio is not just entertainment, it could be an online meeting or other things too, and at one point I'll have to change my phone, or transfer files from it. However I don't have a USB-C phone so I can't test it, so I would appreciate if someone could confirm if this is actually the case.

It's not weird when they are saying weird things and you want to find out about their motives.

Of course it is, the problem is that it is very unlikely

I doubt they will find anything in the logs. It is overwritten over time, and it is also lost when the phone is rebooted. Might still be worth checking, but yeah.. check the date of the oldest message.

Finding when was that app installed would be a good idea, as that is stored persisently (e.g. you can check it with App Manager), but not after it has been uninstalled.

I honestly doubt that WSL runs at native speeds. WSL2 literally runs in a VM, and IO performance is known to be worse even compared to WSL1. Maybe it's just not directly noticable. Do you run a graphical environment in it? If not, that could help a lot too in not noticing it.

For me the first loads quickly, the second either keeps loading it results in a server error.

I think this is a genuine error. Why don't you contact your instance operator?

Yes, that may be an option.. except that google can irreversibly lock you out of your account, or they can delete your files if their content scanning think it goes against some of their terms, but also simply there are people who don't want to lose their privacy to google.

If you can see DMs between 2 e.g. sh.itjust.works users that's very worrying, but if you can only see messages where one participant is registered on your instance, that's just natural.

Other than that, I think vote information should only be visible to

  • the instance's admins where the user is registered
  • the community's mods (and in turn the admins of it's instance) where the reaction has taken place,
    and not to any and all instance admin who is federating with your instance.

You also need to buy that TV to test that

amputatorbot.com sums it up. It was (is?) a bot for reddit

Yes, this is straight out deception, and another avenue of making other targeting based ad networks less useful.

But most of these are not must haves. Like, SteamDB?

Tell this to those that were bullied for being themselves. Not just in high school, but as adults. You'll find plenty in the comment section.

If it's only quality would be being foss, I would understand. But that's not case case. The main quality of firefox (I think) is that you have no chance for privacy whatsoever with other browsers. It's not just the current state of chrome, but from time to time google always does something to make chrome worse than before, and it's even expected because that is in their interest

I think there's a missing detail.

Do you want to use different towels for the different parts of you even right after showering? Or only so that a different one for after shovering, another for your hands for when you just washed hands, and another for the face when you just washed your face?
I don't think the former is normal, but the latter is. A different one for showring and just washing your hands is good to have I think, and if you have got oily skin then a third one for your face is also completely understandable.

Try the singlefile firefox addon. It will save the page to a single HTML file that you can open in other devices too. Usually you'll be able to scroll back quite a few messages in the saved page. I think that depends on how much you scroll back to load them

Fast scrolling when pageup/pagedown is not available or not enough

Yes but that's only good. I'm a computer guy too, but I couldn't talk much about anything else, and I want to read about other topics too, besides this

Try reloading it once or twice. I usually have to do that to have more than just a few comments show up

I only open reddit when something there comes up in a search result, and even then only through Libreddit.

Honestly I'm still suprised that Lemmy communities are this active, but I'm very happy.

How do you know what did they vote on?

If it's just a little, like 3px corner radius, it can look good, I like that.

But every graphics designer has to make it 10+ for some reason, and it's fucking ugly

There are people who use (regex) blocking for the zip TLD and that other one that google released with it, for the reason that they can be very deceptive.

What about 300%?

No one encrypts their emails, yes. As a protonmail user I don't do it either, because proton's software does that automatically for me.

With the email system, end to end encryption is only beneficial to you, it doesn't have a disadvantage for you. It's totally transparent, meaning that it works without affecting how you do things normally.

I always use DDG but neither they support exact match nor exlusions with the dash. They only have a slight effect, but they don't actually work.

Firefox PWAs (via plugin)

What do you mean? Is there a plugin for that?

Firefox Web-Apps over Electron apps

I don't think Firefox's browser engine supports anything like that currently.

It's not like as if firefox would lose significant market share to librewolf

Sometimes that happens for me too in the Liftoff app. But if I reload the comments with "swipe to refresh", them all the others will appear too.

Ok, and what how do you shorten it? No way I'm typing it out all the time it comes up. Comms seem to be appropriate
