I can’t find a suitable word in English, but I’m shocked and dismayed that German doesn’t have anything we could steal.

There’s a lot of smaller communities that are only kept going by one dedicated poster, or never got the critical mass to keep going, which is a shame.

The Dublin-NYC one’s reopened now with automated blurring out of a bunch of stuff.

Huh, so it is! Growing up in the UK, the US version seemed to be on more, and I’d assumed that that was the original.

You’ve missed off the ! so Voyager thinks it’s an email address.

!mullets@lemmy.ca

I doubt that you can get your skin hot enough to denature those proteins without damaging yourself. I’ve given myself a blister before trying.

Over many years, I’ve settled on hydrocortisone cream followed by an ice cube. Those little buggers love me.

Changing a total of three lines is hardly worth mentioning.

As a professional software I know that the actual typing is hardly any of the work - let alone on someone else’s code!

And you’re a developer too, so you know this. This minimising of his contributions comes across as you arguing in bad faith, not to mention backing up the complaints about your hostile attitude.

I don’t find that, but when I do you can often find the page on https://archive.today/ or https://web.archive.org/. You should be able to set it so that you can pass them a url from the address bar using your browser (e.g. Firefox’s quicksearches smart keywords) or search engine (Bangs on DDG, Kagi, searx), if it’s not already linked from the post text.

Some people are insane/brave enough to regularly view all/new. The bottom of the barrel must be broad and terrible.

I just accidentally stumbled across some proof for my looks-over-usability statement:

In addition, the “Search Bar” settings in Settings > Search, which let you choose between using the address bar for search and navigation or add the search bar in the toolbar, is also gone in Firefox 122.

This doesn’t affect me, but I’m sure there’s going to be a vocal tiny percent that absolutely hate this news.

Something I missed first time was

The data was collected from 2011–2015

Hopefully, it’s better now (based on nothing).

I know most people don’t seem to have the ability to look through menus and identify the thing closest to what they want to do. I think software might be more difficult to use now, too - the trend for “clean” design means that usability and discoverability goes out the window.

I have an uncle who will assume anything that takes over 20 minutes has crashed so managed to break his Windows box by continually hard resetting as it was trying to apply a large upgrade.

That’s sobering reading.

One of the difficult tasks was to schedule a meeting room in a scheduling application, using information contained in several email messages.

95% are below this level. Wow.

Gonna have to disagree here. Messy beds are healthier because they get to air and so cool down and dry out. This is good because bacteria, fungi and dust mites like it warm and damp, and they can cause illness, asthma and allergies.

Yeah, this is a good topic. I can add a few:

Short term, pets in houses, farm animals, etc will need to escape and start fending for themselves otherwise they’ll starve (or dehydrate).. Oops, I’d somehow missed an entire paragraph of your post 🤦‍♂️ Sheep need us to trim their wool, because we’ve bred them up grow fair more than they need. They’ll get too hot if they don’t have problems with defecation first (an actual thing farmers have to worry about).

Medium to long term, when dams and dikes aren’t maintained they’ll eventually fail, flooding vast areas including the Netherlands.

I guess that the world will continue heating for a bit even once we’re gone, so we wouldn’t be around to theoretically use our tech to help. Obviously, we’re the reason it’s happening in the first place, but nature’s not equipped to deal with change that’s this rapid.

Ah, they’d changed it? That explains my confusion - I already had a Mastodon account so I was familiar with the boost concept, apart from how it worked in a threaded setup.

Anyway, yeah - confusing!

I agree, and I still don’t even know if they mean magazine as in the publication or as in the thing that holds ammunition - both make about the same amount of sense to me.

I find kbin more confusing overall, e.g. how you have both boost and voting available, but then for short posts boost is more obviously placed (since the up/downvote buttons are way over on the right).

That all depends on what you’re interested in. I’m assuming you’ve come from reddit, so you could try sub.rehab to find new homes for your subs, although tbh I don’t know if it’s up to date or not - there have been some instances die so the communities had to move.
