I'm noticing that when you get a response and you tap the comment to go to, the screen doesn't actually take you to the comment; you still have to scroll down to see it. Could the screen automatically scroll or just start straight at where the comment is visible? Galaxy S25 on Android 16 here, if that helps.

Other apps like Summit and Thunder allow you to access the options menu for your posts and comments when viewing your own profile and directly edit your content right there. It would be cool to have that in Blorp.

I just returned here from Thunder, which has two amazing features:

  1. It always asks whether you want to share a link from its instance, your instance, etc. It'd be cool if Blorp had this option to just always ask instead of having to go into the menu to change it every time. Even previewing what the URL would look like under each option would be cool.
  2. It can create an image that has text embedded around it, which you can pick and choose in a modular way (just the image, or with the post title and/or post body, and/or the URL in the shared message body, etc.). I find this to be by far the most incredible feature that I've ever seen in any messaging app ever made (that I've tried, anyway). (In fact, the chief reason I left is that it doesn't support private-messaging, oddly enough.)

I read somewhere on Reddit that people who use Linux should periodically, manually check for security updates to their computers' BIOS from their motherboard manufacturers, because Linux apparently ends automatic updates once you leave Windows. I have no idea of where to look on the ASUS website for my Zenbook 14, or if that's even the right place. Could anyone give any guidance on this matter? Is this a thing that we should indeed be doing semiannually or something?

And what else should I be doing on a schedule (even if annually), while I'm at it? Haha.

Edit: thanks, everyone!

  1. Set the custom keyboard shortcut sh -c 'pgrep -i keepassxc > /dev/null || keepassxc' to Alt+V
  2. Keep KeePassXC's default autotype prompt keybinding, which is Alt+V

One disables the other. I thought that going the grep route might make the program opener conditionally inactive, but apparently that's not doing anything. I would really like to avoid using a separate keybinding if possible. Otherwise, I guess I'd just have to have it open on launch.

In GNU nano 7.2 (the latest as of this posting, as far as I know), why does Ctrl+Delete delete entire words but not Ctrl+Backspace? How do we restore its correct functionality?

Oh, of course. This is why people use the offline models in Ollama, LM Studio, Jan, etc. I even know a guy who is training his own fully offline LLM. FOSS is generally the safest way to go, hence Lemmy, Linux, etc.

I thought self-hosting requires, like, paid ownership of a website or something. I don't think I've ever self-hosted before and am lost with its guide.

My primary concern is RustDesk's warning about possibly shutting down its free self-hosting because of bot abuse, despite now requiring GitHub accounts. There seems to be nothing even remotely close to RustDesk, except possibly HopToDesk, which I heard is a fork of an older version or something.

It'd be nice to be able to keep this going just in case. Or are there free, E2EE servers out there that anyone knows of?

Edit: Wow, I didn't need any of these; Meld via Nemo Compare does the trick in conjunction with the built-in text editor, Xed! Glad I came across this delightful plugin!

~~Kate~~. ~~Zed~~. ~~Basically anything with Git's diff doesn't seem to allow live edits to either file directly in the comparison itself; I have to open one of the files in another text editor and search for the discrepant lines manually. Is there anything that can rival VSCodium out there (which, yes, has no telemetry but still feels too resource-heavy relative to the Syncthing sync-conflicts for which I intermittently use it to manually resolve)?~~

~~The search has gotten so bad that it feels like a failure to have to download Notepad++ on Windows to try to run it through Bottles, in which I then had a graphical scaling error (had to restart with 200% DPI, but the mouse cursor is still tiny) and I couldn't open my own Linux user directory in its file browser.~~

~~I'm pulling my hair out; I had no idea that this would be such a ridiculously difficult search. I'm trying NeoVim next, with possibly LazyVim, but I fear the same outcome...~~

I didn't keep the .XPI file, unfortunately. Is it possible from a phone's file structure to export or even build this from(/out of?) a currently installed add-on that can no longer be (easily) downloaded?

I lack the time to learn Lemmy tools and run this place and fx0mt left for whatever unfortunate reason. Let me know and I'll briefly review your account history (you don't have to have nodded anywhere before, but you must already have a decent history and not simply be new to Lemmy). Thank you.

The entire French government is abandoning Windows for Linux. It is absolutely possible to change the entire ecosystem; just hard to hit that catalytic point, but more and more people are going that way, thankfully. Maybe they'll even eventually find Lemmy!

It's weird because I've installed Mint on other PCs and Macs and have never seen this problem before (admittedly probably slightly older versions of Mint), which keeps recurring on my machine.

I'm trying to ditch Google Calendar for a totally server-less approach, while still being able to share what I'm up to with certain contacts. Any guidance (via Syncthing or not) would be appreciated!

I feel like this is more the iOS experience, personally.

Oh, Sans is smarter than that; he'd say how you can't refund because you've already played for way more than 2 hours to get this far. If anything, he would mention your actual playtime statistic in his dialogue.

Two bisexual friends have independently told me from their own experiences that "bisexual" mostly = "gay with a dash of hetero," effectively, and that it's not at all 50/50. I wonder how true that is for the rest of the world.

Now this makes me wonder if Lemmy has an equivalent to /r/ConfusedBoners.

LiChess is what should be abounding.

prevent communities from becoming echo chambers

I suspect this will still become a problem since we can subscribe to whichever communities we like and vice versa.

and get over my attraction to men

This wording stuck out as alarming. Do you see anything concerning about this as a motivation to try this, regardless of age?

[-] Flagstaff@programming.dev 27 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think I agree with you:

  1. OP provides no examples of the claimed sassy comments, not a single one. It looks sufficiently generic to be early-AI-produced (recent AI should be able to go extremely specific lol).
  2. Account claims to be male but the username comes off as female: sarah2653@lemmy.ml
  3. The account is primarily comprised of open-ended posts with nearly zero comments, so it doesn't seem to be primarily concerned with actually thanking anyone for any of their input or sharing any further context beyond each post, or at least sharing what they took away from any replies.

Conclusion: this post isn't worth responding to or wasting any further brainpower on because the scenario is fake. Downvote it to hell and maybe even report it until OP gives evidence otherwise.

The movie about her was absolutely phenomenal. I strongly encourage anyone interested in this stranger-than-fiction account to check it out.

I don't know if you've been keeping track, but TSLA's stock has been plummeting.
