  • On IBus, Ctrl+. can be used for typing emoji.

    A neat feature of Firefox is that Alt V Z T makes zoom adjust text sizes without blowing everything else up in size.

  • JS is first-party only, but as a PSA, Lemmy does not proxy images, so for someone could use ![](https://example.com/tracker.png), and loading the comment will contact example.com.

  • The how-to specifies to use COPYING, so I prefer it for consistency.

  • For manual placement I recommend putting it in COPYING since GitHub will still detect it. It's a peeve of mine that using the selector puts the GPL in LICENSE.

  • A crude but simple way would be to save a HTML file with a textarea. Type in the text and pinch to zoom.

  • The removal of the WebSocket API is pretty understandable, that said, I did like how there was no need to refresh to check for changes. I wonder if it would have been better recieved if new posts were added to the top outside of the viewport instead of pushing everything down, or if it was restricted to updating existing posts only.

  • From the code, I think it is the number of users on the instance who have posted/commented at least once in the past month.

  • is this (page 55) the approved text? It seems kind of vague on what constitutes "readily removable and replaceable."

  • According to the footer they're running MyBB so although it is more centralised, I wouldn't call it proprietary.

    What advantages would Lemmy have over the traditional style of forum for their use case?

  • The web-UI uses WebSocket to get notifications, which provides fairly low latency (at the cost of having to have a WebSocket eternally open). I'm not sure which (if any) of the Lemmy clients make use of it other than the web-UI, though.

  • Typing in my computer password is pretty much just muscle memory at this point than consciously remembering the password (yes, I should probably be rotating the password). Part of me thinks that some usecases of passwords or pins could be replaced with "pass-gestures," like pattern unlock on phones.

  • LyX. It is amazing for writing equation-heavy documents.

  • As of now, more than 80% of our top 5,000 communities (by DAU) are open

    I'm a bit paranoid that this could be a technical truth because the communities still closed have dropped in DAU.

    Edit: Checked the blackout tracker, of the ones listed 205 are still closed or restricted, so it's probably an accurate claim, though it seems about half of the participating subreddits are still closed.

  • I currently use Fedora Silverblue, mainly because of the easy rollback, and because it makes package management easier. I like having a default base to add and remove from (and being able to easily rebase onto a different spin). That said, regular Fedora and Mint are both solid distros.

  • Kerbal Space Program?

  • Shoot and build to capture intel.

    The intel has returned to the heavens.

  • As a fellow mostly-lurker, this is also how I felt about downvotes. For me I think it was also because of the concept of having a karma score for the account as a whole, rather only on individual comments.

  • It has the same plugin system, but they pull from Open VSX rather than Microsoft's extension marketplace. If there's an extension not available there, you can still download it from Microsoft's marketplace and then add it manually.

  • For searching web archives, there's the Web Archives addon (GPLv3). It just opens a search page though, and doesn't have the ability to automatically archive.

    For userscripts I use Violentmonkey (MIT).
