commiserations, and kudos for doing all you’ve done so far to try to keep it running
thank you!
and yeah i agree, i use the share menu (at least firefox allows opening links from the sharesheet) but it would be nice to have it as an option
oh dear
ah don’t worry i’m not the dev, i just like the app
nice avatar, by the way
just out of interest db0, did this thread in any way change your opinion on webp?[1] i’m just constructing a pet theory on internet discussions
(sorry to necro an old thread, and i’m sure you have other things on your plate right now; i’m just interested)
(also completely off-topic; i’m surprised your blog still has the wordpress favicon. i would have thought you of all people would have changed that)
or tumblr, for that matter ↩︎
i think this is a bug with v0.18.4 - i know it wasn’t happening and then suddenly it was, and i’m pretty sure it was right after the update
this is how kbin does it, i think
i must admit, i can often guess what the context is of a message, and if i reply i usually open the whole thread anyways
what would be really useful however, is something like this for dms. currently the best way is to show read, then go to the messages tab so you’re not swamped. a threaded view of that would be great
oh crul it’s you!
i don’t suppose you could share some of those? i just had a quick look, but the lemmy search syntax is different to reddit - the communities’ ids are in the url, so the reddit method doesn’t work unless i memorise the id №… (i wish the lemmy devs weren’t so obsessed with numbers)
this is incredibly cool
i don’t even know how i’m going to put this to use, but i know i’ll find something to use it for. thank you
i still find it weird that’s it’s called infinity. i know it’s not illegal, but why not just call it "eternity for lemmy"or something?
(mostly because i’m immature enough that the name makes me laugh)

also, as a closed-source app, there’s no guarantee that actually removes tracking. i’m not going to say sync does this, because that would be libel, but there’s nothing stopping sync collecting everything it can collect anyways and selling them to the highest bidder, just not showing actual ads in-app
i’d never noticed how much the twitter logo looks like an upside-down sonic the hedgehog
You’re using an analogy as the basis for an argument. That’s not what analogies are for. Analogies are useful explanatory tools, but only within a limited domain
actually that’s exactly what i was using it for.
Kicking a baby is not the same[1] as creating an artwork, so there are areas in which they don’t map to each other.
if you read carefully, you’ll see that writing is analogous to creating an artwork, and kicking a baby is analogous to doing something that someone has asked you not to, and you’re continuing anyways. if you read even more carefully, you’ll see that i implied i wasn’t making a moral comment on ai, piracy, or even kicking babies
You can’t dodge flaws in your argument by adding a “don’t respond unless you agree with me” clause on your comment.
i didn’t intend to. i did it so i wouldn’t have to waste my time arguing with those who don’t understand analogies. however i seem to be doing that anyways, so if you’ll excuse me, i’m going to stop
edit: okay, i’ve been reading the rest of this thread, and you clearly don’t understand analogy. i have no idea why you clicked on my comment
yes. analogous doesn’t mean “the same”. it means "able to draw demonstrative parallels between ↩︎
did you click the thing saying that you understand analogies?
i’m not making a moral comment on anything, including piracy. i’m saying “but it’s part of my established workflow” is not an excuse for something morally wrong.
if i say “i can’t write without kicking a few babies first”, it’s not an excuse to keep kicking babies. i just have to stop writing, or maybe find another workflow
Thing is… if I have to do that for every time someone linkdrops an article, I’ll have no time left in my day.
if you spent less time writing comments about articles you haven’t read, you might have more time. do you do this in other walks of life? wander into restaurants you’ve never eaten at and announce “i don’t think there’s really any reason to order the fish”?
And it seems I was right that I have no real reason to use tor.
okay, i’ll sum the article up for you. the more people that use tor, the more it protects vulnerable people. journalists writing exposés about corrupt governments, refugees trying to flee, etc. the more normal people using tor, the more they get lost in the crowd. it’s nothing to do with whether you have any reason to use tor, that’s irrelevant. by using it, you’re helping those in vulnerable positions. happy? no go write something inciteful
i’m firmly of the belief that it’s designed to be on the left
if you use a calculator with your left hand, A) your thumb (strongest digit) rests on
=
(most used button), and B) you can write with your right handthen some wacko put it on the right of the keyboard, so enter is on your little finger and the mouse is miles away[1] and now we have to live with the consequences
yes i realise mouses weren’t around when this layout was designed ↩︎
