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.)

Such aaaaas... Manifest Destiny Land?

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?

I don't get how that stack of plates causes the first panel.

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.

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!

Yes cops are technically violent gang members i know...

Hey, all that matters is whose side they're on! ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

Or 3D-printing!

Skill-driven games require major dedication. Why would @rumschlumpel@feddit.org care to suffer through Silksong, not knowing what to do or where to go, getting frustrated by having to memorize enemy moves, etc. when there are experts out there who have already discovered everything and the most efficient takedown methods (or other amateurs who don't find it as painful to explore so)? I see nothing wrong with this.

I used to be a huge gamer but frankly I find tinkering with Syncthing and Espanso perhaps even more fun than playing tough games, and watching NC (no-commentary) playthroughs by people who have already tested everything, etc.

[-] Flagstaff@programming.dev 21 points 9 months ago

Incredible! I had no idea this was going on; thanks for sharing!

[-] Flagstaff@programming.dev 22 points 10 months ago

I'm sad to say that I wouldn't bet on it...

I don't think it will ever even happen because the winning party may just always think, "Good, don't vote; that allowed us to win more easily."

Vivaldi isn't even fully open-source anyway, so it's worth leaving regardless.

[-] Flagstaff@programming.dev 19 points 1 year ago

I don't get it. How does Dec4 = Luigi?

[-] Flagstaff@programming.dev 23 points 1 year ago

Dang, this reminds me of how genuinely helpful /r/Scams is and how we could develop an equivalent, thriving community here on Lemmy.

Anyway, vet the company and have a friend read the messages, or share them here. Do not do anything involving money (you should only be gaining it, not having to part ways with it), and the app sure as heck shouldn't ask for your SSN at this time.
