the “risk” of false positives comes down to the consequence. if the consequence is being stuck in the slammer, don’t use ai. if the consequence is you can’t upload the image unless you manually appeal, or even maybe have to use an external image host; i think ai is fine

yeah, i liked the soft & friendly kde cursors.

not sure about the colours either, but that might be because they’ve changed from the portal colours to the portal beta colours. i never thought of them as portal themed before, but now i can’t unsee it

bangs are invaluable, and the main reason i stick with ddg. having !w and !pcgw just instantly take me to the right page is great

as a way to search inside communities: https://www.search-lemmy.com/ is in early development but it works surprisingly well usually

pretty unpopular opinion i believe, but i loathe them. they feel like installing apps from the windows store, but worse. i use them on steam deck and my laptop, but they often fail to launch with no feedback^[1], won’t accept drag&dropped files, store their dotfiles in weird places, take up much more disc space (and therefore take literally almost 10x as long to download), won’t inherit the theme (i think because plasma stores the gtk theme in a non-standard place), etc. they feel like they’ve been designed to flout what os developers have built up over many decades and are just a struggle to use.

may i introduce you to… (other free site hosts are available,^[1] but neocities is very much based around the spirit of geocities/angelfire)

thank you : )

you should! i started out with a much simpler jekyll generated site

i imagine a fedisearch engine will come out that can search lemmy, kbin, mastodon, etc. efficiently; so instead of googling “how to x site:reddit.com”, we’ll just fedisearch “how to x”

in fact, i’m pretty sure i already found one but it wasn’t very good, and i’ve forgotten it’s name

have you got an 88x31 button? i’d like to link to this

(no worries if you haven’t, i’ll just use a text link)

i agree with almost all of this, but i just want to say:

How in windows 10 can I tell if a window has focus or not? In Win 3.1 to 7 and anything running on Linux it was easy: the title bar colour was different. But since Win 8 that was dropped, windows still have focus and modal dialogs but you, the user, can not determine which has what and when.

if you tick “show accent colour on titlebars”, windows does draw the current window titlebar distinctly coloured (so i guess it’s actually better than gnome in that sense)

win10 win11

it’s an official http response code

because fdroid build all of their apps themselves, so every app on the fdroid repo uses the fdroid signing key

instances aren’t like subreddits in this example though. if i don’t care about drama, i can subscribe to both r/tumblr and r/curatedtumblr and have them both appear in my feed. i can’t do that with instances without creating two accounts, and browsing both separately

i’m glad that’s being tracked, as a bookmarklet is not really a great solution; but it’s still not a complete solution. if i visit a lemmy post from outside lemmy.world (e.g. search engine), then there’s no way to go to the l.w version (to my knowledge)

i’ll be honest, i’m not sure what that’s for? is it moving to another account if you want to change your home instance? if so, that’s a good idea, i could add it to the post if you want in case this comment gets buried

that (unless i’m misunderstanding) isn’t the point of it. it’s made for quickly taking you from e.g. https://lemmy.ml/c/jerboa to https://lemmy.world/c/jerboa@lemmy.ml, so it needs a const to know which instance to take you to

edit: i guess i could replace let currInst=currUrl[2]; with let currInst=window.location.hostname; but i can’t see a practical difference and so i chose the shorter one

i hate it… : (

the old one looked really good; it had character and skeuomorphism and stood out in the instance list

the new one looks… fine, i guess. it’s there. i can’t really say anything about it, apart from it’s a bit dark and too busy, but it has nothing going for it

have you tried changing the “type” option in lemmy.world/settings/ (or [yourinstance]/settings)?

idea: let each instance have a prepopulated blocklist

let the admins of each instance have a list of blocked users that gets inherited to members of that instance, but let users remove from that list as well as add to avoid abuse. and don’t hide the comments from these users, just collapse them to let people know a comment has been hidden in case of mistakes

(possibly even allow regex to avoid RandomWord1234, which was common on reddit)

this is a rather extreme tactic though, only for if spam becomes overwhelming
