Another slave-powered "mechanical turk".

maybe they were not looking to depict oneoffs that did not catch on more broadly

the main thing i generally shoot for pouring-wise is avoiding churning up the coffee bed by over-aggressively pouring. i feel it causes migration of the fines, which is usually detrimental.

at least they're listening to the advice that's given. too bad the advice is utter horseshit.

It has been granted, but could be revoked.

its like fine-art ghibli. the hard outlines give a cartoony look on top of the naturalistic background

you could wire up the switches on your device to the guts of another keyboard

 

When I collapse a long comment at or near the bottom of the thread, the viewer is blank and i have to scroll far upwards to find the comment i collapsed. I'd suggest to scroll to keep the collapsed comment handle somewhere in view.

Longpost woes (self.mlemapp)
submitted 3 weeks ago by sqw to c/mlemapp@lemmy.ml
 

When reading longposts I often lose my place by either a) accidentally tapping the Feeds button in the corner of the screen with the heel of my palm, which scrolls to the top, or b) accidentally tapping the article body (either while actively scrolling or just holding my phone), which collapses the post.

Anyone have advice for avoiding these on longposts? Skill issue?

green leaf icon (self.mlemapp)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by sqw to c/mlemapp@lemmy.ml
 

I just noticed the newish green leaf icon by some posts. But I didn't intuit the meaning -- does it indicate the age of the account? Old dry oak leaf emoji for accounts over a decade old? 😏 Acorn emoji for accounts opened today? Might be interesting to be able to filter based on these criteria...

keyboard safety (self.mechanicalkeyboards)
 

I see a lot of ads these days for fancy mechanical keyboards from numerous brands, but the thing I always wonder about is: how do we know these keyboards dont have keyloggers or other spying tech built into them?

Link URL review (self.mlemapp)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by sqw to c/mlemapp@lemmy.ml
 

Anyone else want to be able to review the link text on hyperlinks? I appreciate how they are called out in a list below the post, but they only show the link text and not the href link. I would like to see whether the link leads to e.g. an untrusted or disliked URL without opening it.

 

Does anyone here do the Park&Homer / J. Reynolds crosswords? They show up in my alt weekly and I had the idea to start a running feed of questionable content in them xD

 

This week I’m enjoying Barrett’s Columbian Huila Natural - Carlos Fernando Red Bourbon.

This is one of the rarer ones that doesnt seem to drop off into bitterness no matter how fine I grind. Because of that I imagine it would make pretty fantastic espresso. The tasting notes of “blueberry, bubblegum, chili powder, winey, consistent” seem all over the place to me, and i’m not getting any of those. This coffee just tastes like a nice medium roast to me without any huge standout notes.

Looks like they reused a URL here since it doesnt match the description.

login issues (self.mlemapp)
submitted 1 year ago by sqw to c/mlemapp@lemmy.ml
 

Anyone else seeing mlem login issues? Guess my instance may have updated. I was getting a parse error on my user page, tried reinstalling/relogging but now cant log in with mlem. works ok on the webservice, though.
