I wonder at what point repairs would be satisfactory for engineers to declare it usable again. Would it need to go on an empty test flight exactly along its normal path to be declared "safe enough?" What's the minimum incurred damage at which a plane would be considered totaled?

  1. Enable haptic feedback reduction in the settings
  2. Start typing or editing any post or comment body
  3. Open the deeper markdown menu to access unordered lists
  4. Put your finger on unordered lists, change your mind, and drag your finger without having let go straight to ordered lists
  5. Feel the earthquake under your finger

Update: apparently, this also still happens in the save post-share-report menu.

Thunder is great at displaying the number of comments for each displayed crosspost of the currently viewed post. This helps me find out where further discussions of the topic at hand are separately happening, as opposed to me poking through several crosspost links only to find out that there is nothing going on there.

Alternatively, seeing 0 comments can help me more quickly decide to go to those links to intentionally seed more activity among the crossposts (and help Lemmy's "bustling" appearance to would-be members and redditor converts), haha.

Regardless, it's always nice to see the comment count before tapping crosspost links.

Additionally, it would be great to press-hold on crosspost links and copy them without having to open them.

It'd make for way easier post title-editing/-updating.

Additionally, on my S25 (in portrait orientation, of course), I'm having some sort of issue with the last character displaying off-screen unless I manually swipe left to see it. I can't seem to reproduce it reliably but it's happened at least 3-4x now ever since I've revisited Blorp and it can be just a bit bothersome.

So far, press-holding on a user's profile link does nothing different than just tapping. More ways to do stuff are generally welcome, as is basically Summit's UI principle (even though I left it because its search engine was too capable of doing the same things in weird ways lol).

Try to type:

\*Dun, dun, *duuuuuun*\*

It instead becomes:

*Dun, dun, *duuuuuun*

This causes it to be impossible to surround the full text with asterisks while italicizing inside.

How much of this is necessary or even helpful? (easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com)

On Mint Cinnamon, alt+clicking apparently drags the current window. Meh; why, given tiling (whether manually with Super+Arrow, automatically with cortile, etc.)?

On Windows, alt+clicking directly on links lets you nullify the link-following so you can highlight the link text to then copy. This is a far more useful feature to me. Is there any way to change Cinnamon to do this?


Solution: Just disable the feature in the "Windows" settings' Behavior tab!

I was replying to a larger comment by someone else and I couldn't figure out how to highlight and copy to paste into my own reply just a part of their longer comment. How do you do this? The only workaround I could think of was to back out and be able to highlight sentences in the comment from the main view of the post, not in the drafting section of my reply.

I'm finding that I don't really like the hot pink and fuchsia coloring. Is there any color-customizing? I would prefer orange or olive or sand... A color wheel would be great, but I see nothing.

  1. Go to your inbox
  2. Check for new replies
  3. Look at the double-checkmark icon in the top-right, get confused over what it does, fear doing something undoable upon accidental tap, so hold your finger over it to try to get a description of what it means
  4. No helpful text appears explaining what tapping it will do

The double-checkmark icon is relatively new to me. I've only seen this on Lemmy clients and I didn't remember what it was at first.

  1. Start drafting a post in Blorp to submit to any Lemmy community
  2. Spot a typo, or otherwise intend to delete or add a word, etc. in the middle of the title line
  3. Proceed to delete or
  4. The moment I press backspace, space, or any character, the text caret/cursor jumps to the end of the title text, causing the rest of my backspacing or typing to get placed there; I have to keep manually moving the cursor back to the spot in the title that I wanted to edit, per character.

I've never seen any other app do this. Could this be investigated? I'm running Android 16 on a Galaxy S25, if that helps. Thanks.

~~[Feature Request] Be able to filter for only unread replies~~

~~Sometimes I intentionally keep older replies unread as a reminder to go back to them later if they're addressing material that I can't get to at the moment but can follow up with later. So could there be a way to filter for only unread replies so that I can find those more easily? That would be great.~~

So... That was all the original post body. Then I realized (which I had somehow missed) that there is an "Unread" button already. The weird part is that it doesn't have an unread pip icon even if "replies" does. This really kinda threw me off for a bit.

Yes, I thought this is excellent. I hope some of them will walk away with enough inside knowledge of how things work there to know how to sabotage/cripple the company in some way/s later.

It's not gonna make them obsolete. It's gonna keep piling on technical debt from bad practices of which it's entirely unaware (not that it's ever "aware" of anything) while tricking dumb upper management, C-suite, and investors into thinking that it can render so many people obsolete, before it all crashes. "Pride comes before the fall."

I just want the same interface from Y2K that runs so fucking fast my eyes can’t keep up with my fingers.

This is literally what Linux is always like and it never slows down even after decades. It boots and shuts down in about 3 seconds each. Join us; I spent a lot of time typing a foolproof guide recently. Let me see it actually get used lol!

I just played a game on Steam earlier tonight with friends; it launched WINE under the hood so invisibly that I couldn't believe I wasn't playing it on Windows. Nearly everything is cross-compatible these years with WINE, Bottles, Proton, Lutron, etc. There is basically no fear. If anything, the software typically performs even better.

Indeed: electric vehicle batteries are lasting even longer than estimated. All the constant breaks from use that the batteries get has been interestingly improving their durability (which makes me think that shutting off our phones for 1 whole day per week or even month could improve their lifespan, even for the 40-80% lithium-ion boundary keepers).

I hope they eventually crumple from hiring stupider and stupider team leads, then.

Vivaldi is not open-source, so it shouldn't even be considered as an option. Try !waterfox@programming.dev!

[-] Flagstaff@programming.dev 39 points 11 months ago

Thanks for the context, which led me to downvote this post. Come on, guys; not all complaints are valid.

[-] Flagstaff@programming.dev 36 points 1 year ago

Oh.

I guess I was thrown off by the driver not actually smiling in the second frame. That really messed me up and wondered if there was something far more sinister underneath the detour lol. I'm thinking too much.

[-] Flagstaff@programming.dev 32 points 1 year ago

no mercy for ~~surveillance~~ capitalists!

There, all fixed now.

[-] Flagstaff@programming.dev 46 points 1 year ago

I'll be back.

... to check on your work. Keep it up, kiddo!

[-] Flagstaff@programming.dev 43 points 1 year ago

Gosh, I hope these things don't start targeting Lemmy instances.
