Hold a teaspoon in your mouth while you do it (upside down so you don't poke yourself in the eye or whatever works best). Nullifies it instantly.

Q: what does combining with Powertoys Run give you? I used to use Everything but dropped it this year for Powertoys Run as it seemed good enough at this point and meant one less program (although I'm sure Everything is very efficient.)

Beyond delighted. Feels like coming home! Rocket launched ๐Ÿ™‚

Counterpoint: the swipe viewing mode (great for picture-heavy communities), which can be set as a default viewing mode for subreddits in Boost, is treated as a weird ginger stepchild in Sync and you have to manually select it every time. It also ignores options like 'don't start videos with sound' for Reasons as well. Very irritating and odd.

Nah, it's definitely available in 10 - used to use it a lot on my dual monitor setup at work and that's still not upgraded to 11. Fell out of the habit of dual monitoring during the pandemic so it hasn't really been necessary since...

Didn't know about this Powertoys feature, neat - think Windows actually has a built-in option you can toggle where if you hold down shift (or possibly ctrl? Haven't had cause to use it for ages) it'll highlight the cursor with a bright circle.

Personally, I wasn't too worried by the pricing model of Sync, and I'm usually tight AF - I think post- the great 3rd party client purge of Reddit it's clear to me just how much value they brought to my browsing experience, so I'm happy to support the developers.

I think people who say these apps already exist and it's just a case of porting to the Lemmy APIs are massively underestimating the actual amount of work involved to do these apps justice on Lemmy. ยฃ20 or so to support the developer and gain an ad-free experience seems entirely fair to me!

I recommend a DNS-based ad blocker like NextDNS. Works on everything, everywhere!

This was exactly my (dumb, layman) view of things - great idea hobbled from the outset by the marriage of slow web apps with slower hardware.

Interesting! I've never burned though a shirt but perhaps I've been lucky. Maybe I do need to invest in one of these...

I just tried searching for these and I'm genuinely confused. Is it not just...a hoodie made of light material? I mean, surely most if not all clothing will stop you getting burnt.

I too like fancy pencils. Mitsubishi's range are my faves.

 

Could we get the mods from /r/ScottishFootball to give us their blessing for a bot that auto copies posts over here for example?

Wouldn't get the comments, but it would at least give the place some life for a new spinoff community to build upon.
