Yeah I agree. I’d love to get rid of maps, but location history is just way too valuable to give up, and I couldn’t find anybody else who does it.

I also really like navigation that’s responsive to current traffic levels. Obviously even if someone else provided that, them having fewer users would mean it’s not going to be very effective, but I’d be willing to switch to someone else who at least was attempting to do that, even if their userbase wasn’t there yet.

Right now though…nobody that I could find even tries to do either of those crucial features.

German law literally restricts bike light brightness to a point of being impractical in the dark. It bans blinking lights despite research showing blinking lights increase visibility of cyclists. It requires cut-offs that make it so you literally can’t see what’s ahead of you until it’s too late to react to it, if you’re riding at speed.

If you’re only ever riding at a slow 20 km/h on relatively well-lit city streets, it might be fine. But that’s just not reality.

You’re required to have a rear light, but it must be mounted between 25 and 60 cm above the ground…so you can forget about a light mounted on your helmet or backpack…or even at the most natural place for a light…at the top of your seatpost. It’s fucking nonsensical. And to learn that despite all this bullshit making cyclists less safe, car lights are unrestricted? Oh boy, am I incensed right now.

Wait, Germany bans good-quality bike lights, but allows unregulated lights on fucking cars‽‽

I’m not 100% sure about DeArrow, but ReVanced definitely still works, and it does support Ajay’s Sponsorblock, so I suspect DeArrow would also be supported.

You won’t get disagreement from me. Being non-trinitarian is a pretty huge departure from regular Christianity on its own, without all the rest of their weird mythology.

But neither Mormons themselves nor, more importantly in this case, the general discourse, agree.

There’s a good argument to be made that they shouldn’t be, but they’re usually lumped under the broader Christian umbrella

Fwiw Stanford was basically a scam. The story as it’s usually told is a lie, and its results are in serious contention, even beyond the usual replication issues psychology studies have.

Milgram is a good study, and even seems to have survived multiple replication attenpts, but its results are often overstated in their broader applicability. Notably: there are issues around the idea that it is “authority” that causes people to comply, as is usually claimed, instead of a belief in “expertise” or trust in the system (e.g. that a university-authorised study is obviously not going to kill people). Still, the conclusions are good enough for the purposes of your comment here.

Ah, but postage stamps are completely fungible.

I was thinking of the HTTP verb, you’re right.

You forgot the third group, !fuckcars@lemmy.world

Some even have sinks in each stall so you can go from wiping your ass straight to washing your hands

See, I emphatically do not want that.

If I could rely on everyone else washing their hands properly it would be great. But I don’t want to have to touch the stall door that has Aleppo been touched by people who haven’t washed their hands after I’ve washed mine. I want the hand washing to be the very last thing I do before exiting, preferably via a push door that I can push with my foot or in a spot that fewer other people would push it.

Why would someone on a help desk be expected to know what POST is? A software engineer, sure, but helpdesk? If it’s needed knowledge…that’s what training is for. Businesses’ expectation that people will come into the job already knowing exactly how you do things and never require on-the-job training is absurd.

The pinging would be done by the back end, not the UI, so no, I don’t believe it would ping them.

It leads to their profile on your own instance.

In addition to what Blaze said, there’s a much more public desire to leave Instagram because of how publicly awful Facebook and Zuckerberg are. Spez is not really any better, but outside of our bubble people don’t really see that as much—party because he has so much less money to push his ideas outside of Reddit.

And it’s just fortuitous that unlike Twitter, Instagram doesn’t have any real competition that isn’t using Activity Pub.

The /u/ formatting works exactly the same as the @ formatting, except for different platforms. Right now, /u/ creates a link that goes to their profile on lemmy-ui (the default web interface). But @ creates a link on Jerboa (the first-party app) and Sync (a third-party app).

IMO a “simple browser” of this sort should display literally only the content in the HTML file itself. It shouldn’t even view CSS stored in a separate local CSS file, let alone reach out to the web to download more content.

I’m pretty sure Reddit had post saving before 6 years ago? But idk, I never used it very much.

If people want to use saving in that way, that’s great. But personally, I use the save feature generally for things that are so great I want to be able to come back to them indefinitely. It’s not a temporary queue, which is how I use my open tabs, or why I would want to be able to get notifications for a reply that was not to my own comment.

In Sync, when you see your comment, does it create a link you can click to go to murd0x’s profile? If so, nice! Sync is doing the right thing in this context. I know already that Jerboa, the app from the main Lemmy devs, does this correctly.

But lemmy-ui, the interface you’ll see on most instances if you open it up in your web browser, that is not clickable, but the /u/username is clickable. It’s an obvious bug/shortcoming in lemmy-ui.

Wait, I just realised that what I posted…isn’t an actual image. It ends in .svg, but it isn’t an svg file. This is, and it has no brackets:

To test how URL escaping works, here’s a different (non-image) link with brackets in it.

I had not. I had no idea that even existed, thanks!

Do they have a Lemmy community for feedback? It’s super buggy right now unfortunately, with “a” taking me to the post on the poster’s instance, instead of upvoting (or at least taking me to the post on my instance…), and with all keyboard shortcuts handling alternative keyboard layouts in what I would consider to be the wrong way (though this is possibly debatable/up to preference).
