Oof. I’ve got some mates with word choices that would raise some questions from the toddler.

With the 5 Eyes agreement, the they’re one and the same.

To start Firefox without any plugins loaded, go from

This actually got a good laugh out of me. I have a toddler, and I can see what you did totally made sense in your mind, and that it was dad’s fault for not being specific enough with the instructions.

On mine it’s only available from the Izzy repo, not the main fdroid one.

Edit: Here’s the source code. Try with either Izzy or Obtainium to install.

Egyptians didn’t have cranes

But they did have storks, which are almost as good.

You know what’s funny, the two clients that don’t support your dropdown/spoiler for anti-commercial licences were commercial closed-source Lemmy clients.

I say sod them and go back to your dropdown.

I can’t stand Rossman’s videos; but I respect the hell out of his ideas, principles, and efforts to better the slices of technological life that he cares about.

Thus just feels like a lazy LLM-generated article.

Here are some secrets of Linux that many people may not be aware of. *Proceeds to list things that Linux is famous for*

some kind of hobby (especially one with a social component)

Okay, I just joined a guild in WoW and started doing 40-man raids. What’s the next step?

25MB… Is that a lot?

Depends, I guess. For a Godot app? Probably about average.

For a quick and dirty native app? This timer app I use is 160kB. Less than 1% in size.

My parents still double click everything on their mobile…

Oh hey. Wasn’t expecting you to pop up! Yeah, sorry, my rant wasn’t specific to Voyager (in fact, thank you for being one of the few allowing hiding vote buttons). I actually use Voyager on my larger devices.

On my tiny phone though, a few things stand out:

• Large padding between posts. Should probably scale with font size (or let users specify)
• Smallest font size could be smaller.
• No way to hide top & bottom bar (Sync hides them on scroll)

Might dump then on GitHub when I have the time. But if someone else redding this has the free time, feel free to do so :)

As much as I love Voyager, I’m a compact post list kind of guy. And nothing beats Sync’s post density and configurability.

All I need is a title, the community it’s on, # of comments, and a small thumbnail. If I need anything else, I’ll click on the post.

Why would I want an up/down vote button on a compact list? Who upvotes something just from the title??

Coming off of this discussion, what you have there might be an extreme version of diazeugma, one with an implicit subject.

Either way, I learnt something new today - zeugma. So thank you :)

Edit: I just realised… please, no juvenile jokes about “sugma” in this thread, thank you.

It’s not.

Some of it may be, but the fact that the LTS versions (20.04 & 22.04) are downloaded overwhelmingly more than the others seem to indicate it’s more intentional.

I don't know where you are, but painter's tape (or masking tape) comes in all sorts of colours. Including white.
