Turns out it looks the same. Wait, something is still wrong. I turned the setting on, but I still don't see display names. Oh well.

No issues in Thunder.

I have display names turned off, though.

Tunic was fantastic. It's not a unique perspective I want. I want a cute action adventure game 3D VR. 😄

[-] Quibblekrust 1 points 2 days ago

What I want more than anything is a billion dollars, but second to that is a top-down VR Zelda game. I fucking love A Link Between Worlds, and I can imagine a VR game like that where you look down at the world from above, and actually look behind objects. The idea of looking down on a tiny world and controlling a character like Link is so appealing.

The game could hide secrets behind things in this way, or use it in puzzles. Maybe you would be able to spin the world around and look at it from different sides.

Are there any existing games like that?

I read the title wrong at first, too. And when I realized the question would be stupid, rather than answer it, I read it again.

So we get nine months until civilization collapses. That's fine.

The thumbnail makes it look like a silverback gorilla is in your house. If this looks too big, squint or something.

I definitely have it saved. See screenshot. But it never auto-fills. What's the deal?

Update: Turns out this is caused by viewing a large image and then zooming in. At a certain zoom level the app goes into fullscreen, hiding the navigation buttons and top bar. It then never exits this mode until you quit the app.

Like, I don't want to hear about the Steam Machine's price, registration date, or launch date 8 hours after the news comes out. I want to hear about it instantly! I want to be woken up. I want an Android App that subscribes to a webhook, runs in the background, and sounds an alarm when there's news. You know, like an Amber Alert but for Steam hardware.

Any of you nerds want to help design this?

I'm imagining not just the API, but also a front-end website where trusted users (admins and volunteers) can ring the bell when real news comes out by posting a link. Whether it's an announcement about the price, or even an announcement that that announcement will be soon. Any real news from Valve.

Yes, I'm stoned, but my idea is brilliant nonetheless! This is totally worth the effort. If no one wants to help, maybe I'll vibe code it. I know Lemmy loves that!

For real, though, are there any existing services I could use besides opening Lemmy every hour?

Korean has a perfectly phonetic written language. It was invented by King Sejong and his scholars in 1444 specifically to be phonetic. Koreans probably use "Tyranasaurus" and "tiramisu" pronounced as-is, and the translator app translated the portmanteau phonetically to English.

That's my hypothesis.

Update: It's caused by the "Show Text Post Indicator" setting being on in Compact mode.

Version v0.9.0-1

I forgot I installed Thunder via Obtanium, so I get very quick updates. I guess I shouldn't be surprised no one else has seen it. It also turns out it's caused by a non-default setting.


Is this happening to anyone else? It started after an update.

I already submitted it to GitHub: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/issues/2070

UPDATE

It turns out I didn't lose all logins in Firefox, just a couple of major ones. It was very surprising. And this was after losing all in LibreWolf, so I thought it was all in Firefox, too. My bad.

As pointed out in the comments, LibreWolf is basically "Private Browsing Mode" by default. I did not know that. I turned that off, re-copied my profile, and I'm good to go.

Original Post

I just installed Librewolf (Flatpak) the other day, here's the sequence of events:

  1. Install Librewolf
  2. Run it once and close it.
  3. Copy the contents of my profile folder from Firefox to my new profile folder in Librewolf after deleting its default contents.
  4. Run Liberwolf and see that everything is good: bookmarks, logins, extensions, etc.

The next day I run Liberwolf and notice I'm logged out of every website that I normally keep logged in. I figured I probably failed to change some default privacy setting in the new browser and it wiped my logins.

So I open Firefox and I'm logged out of every website there, too! I still have all my bookmarks and such, so I know I didnt move my profile contents by accident.

What in the world happened? Why did I suddenly get logged out of everything in both browsers?

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with btrfs.

I can't tell you how many times I've accidentally pasted random private stuff from that goddamn middle click into WEB PAGES! Things that can read whatever text you type without having to explicitly submit anything. It's a horrible thing for a new user to discover by accident. It's such an unexpected feature to new users, and no one gets told about it, ever. You simply discover it by accident.

This is a good change, not having it on by default.

To all the haters of this idea, god forbid we make Linux less weird by default for people migrating from Windows.

All that said, I have learned to love select-to-copy and middle-click paste. Especially in the terminal.

Version v0.8.1. Android 16. Pixel 7 Pro.

After scrolling a couple pages (endless scrolling is on) I start seeing "Instance of 'LemmyApiException'". Once it starts, the tiniest amount of scrolling—even upwards—causes the error. I can make a bunch of rapid, itty bitty scrolls, and each one will hide and reshow the error.

What is Thunder doing with the API on every single scroll? Even up? Makes no sense.

I don't have "mark read on scroll" enabled, or anything odd. I haven't changed any settings in weeks, and this started happening just a few days ago. It might only be happening on my home instance. I could test with an alt.

Update: I can't reproduce this using a lemmy.world account

Update: It's worse than I thought. It's crashing my VPN! I use the Mullvad VPN app. After that crashes, Thunder crashes. This happens every time.


First, it slows way down and stutters a bit, then turns all black and crashes to my home screen.

Is this happening to anyone else?

If not, can you please add a setting to disable it? It's just not for me. At best it's a distraction while I wait for the image to load. At worst, it blocks part of the image.

Android 16, Pixel 7 Pro. My Signal data was getting too bloated, so I backed it up, moved the backup to PC, and verified that signalbackup-tools can decrypt and extract the backup. Cool. Now I want to wipe the data in the app while not losing any settings or contacts or anything.

In the app, I went to Settings > Manage storage > Delete message history. It pops up two separate confirmations, and I hit "Yes" to both. After waiting a bit each time, I did this three time. It hasn't gone well.

  • Signal storage settings still says it's using almost 9 GB of data.
  • However, Android says Signal is using just 154 MB of user data.
  • All of my conversations and messages are still in Signal, but the media in each conversation shows a broken icon.
  • The "Review storage" screen in Signal still shows tons of media with thumbnails, but none open. Tapping on one just shows a blank camera roll and black space.

So, I went to "Review storage" and it let me do a select all and delete, saying, "Are you sure you want to do this? This will delete 9 GB of messages". I said yes, and it's still going. I hope this will at least delete the ghost media.

I suppose I could set a message duration in settings and let old chats expire, though I'm not really against keep the text messages. It was just years of cat photos and videos taking up way too much space.

But why isn't this feature working?

Update:

My phone screen turned off and when I re-opened it, the progress spinner on the delete progress is frozen. I can't cancel or anything. I can give it more time, and force close the app if I have to, but it's not looking good.

Update 2

I swiped the app away from the app switcher, and I was able to open it again and see conversations and such. When I opened settings, it showed that it was using 4.7 GB, and when i closed and reopened settings, it was s tiny bit smaller. Sure enough, after waiting a full hour, it now says it's only using 67 MB of storage, and all the thumbnails are gone from the media list. So... success?

I still have years worth of plain text messages, and I guess I don't mind that.
