  • KDE suggested I report this bug directly to postmarketOS

    Jump

  • Thank you for your straight forward and very succinct answer. I did peruse that site, but became confused by the various options that I found in it. If you could decipher the information on the site, and provide an actual link to where exactly I report bugs for postmarketOS packages, that would be appreciated.

  • Judge in US v. Google trial didn’t know if Firefox is a browser or search engine

    Jump

  • When asked about a perceived ignorance in computers, the judge proclaimed, "I'm not ignorant about computers! In fact, just last week I finished Space Quest, and I'm now getting through Leisure Suit Larry!" The judge's report, written using WordPerfect 5.1, is expected to be released soon.

  • No more cordon blur: France tries again to ban meaty language on vegetarian products

    Jump

  • I no longer buy any mock meat. Veggies that are unprocessed (with tofu as the lone exception since soy beans are kinda rough) are my choice now. So this doesn't bother me.

  • How many people actually dropped Reddit for Lemmy?

    Jump

  • I check into Reddit once in a while, but I mostly hang out here now.

    I do wish that opening links in Lemmy opened them in a new browser tab (as is done in Mastodon) rather than opening them in the same tab.

  • Young climate activist tells Greenpeace to drop ‘old-fashioned’ anti-nuclear stance

    Jump

  • Nuclear costs a huge amount. It does produce waste. There are still safety concerns regarding nuclear power, which only increase as our reliance upon it increases. Investing in renewable energy makes more sense.

  • Welcome, new users!

  • One thing I find confusing is the notification bell icon. I notice that even if I check it, it still registers the same number of notifications that it had done previously. This number never seems to go down. What's with that?

  • Young climate activist tells Greenpeace to drop ‘old-fashioned’ anti-nuclear stance

    Jump

  • The European Commission is being sued by environmental campaigners over a decision to include gas and nuclear in an EU guide to “green” investments.

    Eight national and regional Greenpeace organisations including France, Germany and EU office in Brussels are asking the court to rule the inclusion of gas and nuclear invalid.

    https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/apr/18/eu-faces-legal-action-gas-nuclear-green-investments-guide-european-commission

    I totally support Greenpeace in this. Neither nuclear nor gas should be considered a "green" investment. Ia Aanstoot, the "18 year old climate activist", is wrong to support the European Commission's stance on this.

  • Young climate activist tells Greenpeace to drop ‘old-fashioned’ anti-nuclear stance

    Jump

  • Which means she opposes what Ia Anstoot is saying. Thunberg does not view nuclear as a renewable in and of itself, and thus, like Greenpeace, she opposes EU Commission’s decision to include nuclear power in its classification system for sustainable finance (link).

  • Image seems to override a URL

    Jump

  • Okay, thanks. Yes, that makes sense. I guess the fact that Reddit URL posts often generate an accompanying image (from the URL) whereas that's less the case here, made me believe that it (having an image accompany a post) could be manually done here. This belief was fostered by how the layout is organized here, in that it's vertical rather than horizontal, with the URL option above the image option. This suggested a hierarchy, where URL would still be recognized if it was specified, with the image supporting this rather than overriding it. Alas, that's not the case. In Reddit, where the post structure layout is more horizontal (at least when using a laptop/desktop -- don't know about mobile) it's clear that a choice of image negates creating a URL post.

    Jump

  • What you describe is what I was hoping for. However, I found that pressing upon the post simply resulted in the image being displayed without an accompanying link to the URL.

  • New Covid wave has begun and masks should be worn again, scientists warn

    Jump

  • I saw on the CBC last night a story of a restaurant worker who was fired because she wore a mask. That's how bonkers we in Canada have become lately.

  • ‘Age Is Not A Limit’: Vegan Athlete, 66, Secures 1st Place In 48-Hour Ultramarathon

    Jump

  • This is great. I've started training for a half-marathon, that will be in October. I've been vegan a few years, and before that a vegetarian for a few decades (I'm 58 now). One thing I've also done recently is eliminate salt from my cooking and also eliminate high salt prepared foods (including bread and prepared sauces) from my diet. And I've stepped up my intake of leafy greens and carrots and beets and whatnot (previously my focus was on starch and protein foods (rice/grains/beans/lentils etc). So, my blood pressure is now normal. But, there is a lot of propaganda about needing salt (and "electrolytes") for long distance running. Meh. I've been fine so far. But I figure I'll bring some celery sticks with me for the run in October.

  • Well, the new user bump has passed!

    Jump

  • To answer my own question, I find that lemmur does not work on my phone. So, Jerboa it is.

  • Well, the new user bump has passed!

    Jump

  • I'm new here. I love Lemmy. It took me a bit to get it working right (issues with the language settings), but now that it is working, I think it's great. I currently use it on my laptop, but I'm also considering an app for my phone. I found two here on F-Droid, those being Jerboa and lemmur. Does anyone have any opinions on which is the better app?

    , or, and even better,

    apt purge

  • Okay, yes, this is where the issue was. Undetermined was enabled, but English was not. Enabling both of these options has fixed it. Thanks so much!

  • I've tried that and the behaviour is still the same. Likewise, I've tried Chromium (Debian version of Chrome) rather than Firefox, and the behaviour is still the same.

    Also, the only way of responding to your comment is via my Inbox. Responding to a comment via the thread does not work. Often I can't see the comments (except through my Inbox, or if I log out).
