Oh. Well, if the mods are this active, then that could probably be changed, too! I'm not trying to insult you or something; I just think the titles could be made much more meaningful with just a bit more focus (which also means they could potentially attract more redditors or other lurking, fence-sitting denizens of the Internet through quality stuff in both title and body).

Could you please rename such a long and misleading title to something more succinct and accurate?

Day 333 of game commentary: Minecraft

I strongly believe it would genuinely boost the quality of your submissions.

That's even more reason to not get upset at parents; who are you to say their kids wouldn't enjoy life or have hope of better enjoyment in the future?

Either way, you’re a bad person for bringing another person here.

~~you're~~ *"such a person is" - not me, since I already stated that I'm childfree.

Still, I don't understand; you're experiencing life right now and likely enjoying it enough to chat with strangers online since that's what you're doing, right? If life is as horrible as you make it out to be, wouldn't you instantly KYS without even hesitating? The fact that you don't suggests that life is worth living or at least trying to tolerate for a better future, right? Are you part of the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement?

I may be childfree but that's just because I personally can't stand being tethered to raising a kid and I know that I'd be a bad parent, but we do need a certain minimum number of people for society to not go Children of Men-apocalyptic. There are certain extraordinary people (albeit few, sure) who are able to make life decently good for their kids, and it's unfair to say they suck just because we had bad parents/circumstances. And if you're talking about the ecological hellscape that awaits us, there are just as many reports of 12-to-19-year-olds who are making staggering scientific advances, like even solar panels that can get up to 75% efficiency, etc. I just read an article of a 10-year-old who graduated from college. Brilliant minds are being honed, so I'd suggest that you take steps to curb your pessimism and not let it bleed onto others in a blanket, stereotyping way.

inflicting this reality upon another person

Now, I have no childrearing plans for myself, but this phrase stuck out to me even so: you're assuming what their experience will be.

Those ironically are precisely the descriptions that are very often used on the child-free.

Sadly, it is not DRM-free, according to a redditor in the corresponding /r/FreeGameFindings post, but at least it only pings one time on game launch.

Okay, I made a 35-second screen-recording of how the instance-changing prompt insta-vanishes when viewing stuff in anything other than History. This is on the latest version on F-Droid as of today: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VQJoIQTgcYk0gmdnp51mXc3b2LSBjxYa/view

I tried to comment on a post that was in my feed. Then I went to History where it let me change instances. This never happened before I logged into multiple accounts in Summit (one of which is on that other instance). Can always-auto-switch be an option? Thanks!

They're nuts! Why does it matter?!

  1. Well, I simply literally didn't know about this one.
  2. Bypass Paywalls Clean is (or was; not sure now) open-source while this doesn't appear to be.

In my country you have to pay an annual fee if your bank account exceeds a certain limit (5000€)

That's insane!

 

I can't seem to find any such section.

  1. Search "summit"
  2. Filter for communities
  3. See that it gets sorted by your post-sorting method when you instead want Top of All Time, so sort for that manually
  4. Go here to [email protected]
  5. Press the back button

Expected result: the search results should show what they were just showing a moment ago

Current result: the search results revert to whatever your account's default sorting method is

Way to make this a non-issue: add a separate sorting method when searching for communities versus other types of content

Thanks!

 

This appears to be the first post about it in the Lemmiverse (for this instance), so... here we go!

A frequent activity that my closest friend group likes to do is spectate on single-player games played by one person via screen-sharing (and we're mostly introverted so no Twitch for us lol; plus, that's Amazon's playground anyway). This is where Discord unfortunately reigns supreme: its screen-sharing is somehow absolutely fantastic and near-flawless.

I recently learned that Matrix has screen-sharing through this Discord age-verification article, which may be enough to finally make the push for my friends to consider Matrix; how is it in comparison? Does anyone here very frequently use it?

 

I'm part of programming.dev and I feel like starting a /c/volumeeating (to mirror /r/volumeeating wouldn't really make sense there, haha.

 

I've had no ISP-provided Internet access since Feb. 2023 or so and, while it's been a pain at times, I still haven't caved into returning to the evil monopoly that is Spectrum, so far, and probably won't for as long as I can't land a remote job. ~~ArrowDL, while not perfect, has been pretty good at download management for the most part in conjunction with mobile data-hotspotting.~~ Update: I'm now using AB Download Manager to mitigate download cancellations at the throttled speed.

 

When it comes to screenshooting ("screenshotting?"), I've never seen any tool even as remotely as capable as Summit; I think Thunder had some sort of system that builds it, but Summit appears to actually calculate the screen coordinates of content that displays on your device.

I never actually thought to press the button until now when I just tried it out of curiosity. Unbelievable!

 

Can anyone help me figure this out?

I thought it was totally absent, which is why I went to ToolsCustomize and looked for it, but once I found where it would normally be put, it was apparently already checked! Yet I don't see it... I have no idea of what to do.

And no, it's not in the drop-down arrow by the "U," which is only more customization of the underline.

 

I thought in other word processors you could simply right-click them and find a "delete" button, but there seems to be no such thing in LO Writer. Does anyone have any leads? Much appreciated!
