When I had a house with a shady yard, it was mostly moss. It won't take a lot off foot traffic but it doesn't even need mowing.

Whereabouts? I recently saw something like this growing in someone's front yard in eastern Massachusetts, and that made me recall my dad once showing me cactus growing on a mountaintop in northern New Jersey as a kid, much to my surprise.

How do we know they aren't screaming the whole time underground where no one can hear them?

That's certainly possible too, but what I was getting at was that even a bunch of things dumped at once probably aren't going to all be the same age.

More like "knee thinkers," amiright?

Someone dumping some shit might well have had some of the objects much longer than some of the others. And if anything, a person is less likely to be dumping new objects, except for disposable things like beer cans.

I find it very disappointing that they deleted your post, though reading their FAQ it definitely sounds like keeping the forum a happy place far outweighs any concerns about free and open communication with their users. That FAQ statement really reads like HR mentality.

Kevlar socks, ideally.

It got blocked from where? Where did you try to post it?

[–] blackbrook@mander.xyz 3 points 1 week ago

This is just a premise. It's all in the execution. No premise is stupid or great in itself. Any premise can be made great or stupid by its execution.

Ahh, thank you!

This doesn't seem exhaustive enough to be titled "the state of Linux music players."

 

Could we add a rule to this community against posts that are clearly just using the form of a question for proselytizing?

 

Searching F-droid today for 'vpn', something called URNetwork came up, touting itself as better then a VPN, and sounding frankly too good to be true. Duckduckgo searches are finding very little not either going to them (ur.io, or their github, etc) or some site called Product Hunt that I've never come across before. Nothing useful or that gives me confidence even that this isn't a scam.

Does anyone know anything about this product?

 

So is this Thunder itself or some app it is deferring to whose config I should look at?

Basically videos start out dim for a few seconds until the video controls fade out. This means the first few seconds of every video are basically unwatchable, and with short videos this is all or most of the video. For example https://lemmy.world/post/17884719

 

Of the many Lemmy clients I've tried, Thunder is the one I like the best, but the one place I have nits is the creating a comment experience.

After typing the comment you have close you keyboard, to have any hope of the create button being visible (if your comment is really short) and then scroll all the way back up to the top. Isn't the bottom the obviously better place for this button?

Even worse, if in trying to scroll the screen, you accidentally hit the little horizontal bar at the top, you just lose your comment.

Finally, it seems to always lose my place in the thread and put me back at the top after entering a comment.
