It's not even wrong.

It looks to me like it's an HR conference for HR people who want to think they are doing good in the world.

Spoiler: it involves slapping people in the head with your dong or boobies to motivate them.

It's accepted usage, but it's kind of illogical and doesn't add anything. If you take the 'of' out of the phrases they still make perfect sense.

(I use the 'of' myself, out of habit, as I learned to speak that way.)

I wish I had the confidence in mankind's future to consider cryogenic freezing...

What quality is it that you associate with Satie makes you ask this?

As someone who bakes bread, and sometimes biscuit, pancake, and cookie type things, I feel this way also. But I wonder if the reputation for needing precision doesn't stem from something I don't bake, like cakes.

People should try to think of recipes as performance notes, not as magical formulas. "This is how I made this, this time."

I have the sense this is a rich person thing.

 

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.
