Haven't used Twitter in years, fully deleted my account when Musk took over. Unfortunately I need to see a user profile now. I just wanted to see one old page, but apparently I can no longer do that without logging in.

Is there any up-to-date method for bypassing this? I tried uBlock zapper to no avail.

That's dumb. let me click their username or add a menu option for view profile.

RIF used to have a box that popped up when you clicked a link. It let you copy the link or navigate to it. It allowed you to view the full URL too.

Voyager just sends me there.

You can imagine esp with what's going on here that just navigating somewhere is pretty dangerous. I want a gatekeeper like RIF used to have.

This is especially important because I don't always realize that a thumbnail is a link and not an image. And with news sites, I want to first check the URL to see if it's a tabloid. I don't want to give clickbait clicks before I know.

I go to view a comment with two dozen replies.

My comment is #16, a direct reply to the parent comment.

I want to view the original parent comment. I click parent.

Screen scrolls up half an inch to comment #15. Cool. I wanted to see comment #0 though....

Can we have the parent button do parent button stuff?

Microsoft Mouse puts itself to sleep when idle and takes 5-10 seconds to become responsive again after moving it.

Hardware: I believe it's this one. It's a Bluetooth Mouse, has Device Switching but only used it once.

Description of the problem: If I move the mouse after not moving it for about 10-15 minutes, the mouse does not respond. After about 5 to 10 seconds, it begins to respond again. Then it works perfectly fine, as long as it's not idle for more than 10-15 minutes.

Solutions Tried: This has never happened the other two mouses I've used, one wired and one wireless. It's the same bluetooth connection and same USB port as the other wireless mouse too.

I have checked the USB sleep settings, and I remember looking for that checkbox that said "Allow (something) to put (something) to sleep" and I was surprised to see it was already disabled. I'm guessing this is a mouse issue not a Windows issue.

This mouse does prompt me to install some Windows software to help with the Device Switching thing. I installed it on my laptop but not on my main PC. (Windows wants permission to do updates and diagnostics and I'm hesitant to give them any more permissions than necessary). I don't remember exactly but I believe this issue was always present, even before installing any software.

I have not checked whether this issue happens on the laptop.

Help Request: Has anyone heard of this problem, either with this mouse or a similar situation? Were there any solutions? What might I look at to find a solution?

Alternatively, if I can't stop it from going to sleep, I wonder if there's a way to just make it stay awake longer while idle.

Thanks!

any way to disable them, in or out of app? I'm going insane hearing the buzz every single time i mark a post. decentivizes engagement. any way to fix?

Can't seem to view parent comments. Clicking the rainbow star to see a post on its own instance doesn't seem to work either. I dunno if this is a lemm.ee issue or fediverse issue or what. I don't even really know where to go for support. is there a broader support forum for Lemmy-related help?
