Hey there! YSK about the subjunctive! Blah blah blah…

Beep-boop-blah-blah…

Only kbin users are seeing what you see. It looks fine on other Lemmy instances.

Lemmy and kbin do weird things with code blocks. From the source, the post itself clearly only contained backticks. Lemmy sends out marked-up text. kbin escapes it.

(you can disable it but you don’t get the space back)

This can certainly be annoying. But if you think about it from a UX perspective, what would happen if you could?

What happens if you disable it, use the space, and then enable it again?

Where does everything go that you placed there?

Does it just shift down? What if it can’t because of other content on the page? Do you just shift it to a new page? What if there is content in the way across multiple pages? Does that all get shifted to a jumbled mess on a new page?

What if you just didn’t let the user enable it again unless the space was cleared? Would that be too confusing for less capable users?

Sometimes UX designers do seemingly dumb things for very smart reasons.

You might find this interesting.

Funny you should ask.

In all seriousness, there was a Texas-sized-chunk-of-ice event in 2016.

lack of support for visual content

That sounds amazing

First-mover advantage.

The market is about to be flooded with Lemmy apps, many of which will be based on former reddit apps. And like it or not, most of these apps do ultimately exist to make money.

Thank you!

I would love one if they’re still available

Hey guys, ChrisFix here!

It’s late. It was supposed to be April 1.

Nope. Been using the same installation of Windows 10 for years, and everything just works.

Even swapped the SSD from one laptop into another one. Added a UEFI boot entry, and it came right up.

I think the only problem I ever had was audio or Wi-Fi occasionally failing to work after resume. But that resolved itself after one of the major updates.

The only annoyance I’ve run into is the “Let’s finish setting up your device” screen after feature updates. But you can disable that fairly easily.

I mainly use it as a glorified Chromebook though. Browser, Windows Terminal + WSL, maybe the occasional Inkscape or Lightroom. All the “interesting” stuff happens in Linux VMs atop ESXi running on an old desktop.

But for everyday use, it’s nice to have something that “just works” when I pick it up.

I might check out Linux again in a few years though. From what I’ve read, PipeWire seems to be killing it in terms of progress on the audio side. So once the Wayland ecosystem matures, it should be fairly easy to get back that “just works” status with Linux.

In terms of performance, the main issue Windows really has is disk I/O. But a modern SSD fixes that easily. I am using a second-hand, nine-year-old Dell Latitude laptop, and it does everything I need it to do. Boots up in seconds. Has to stay plugged in though.

Be not afraid
