Just picked up a new hat from the game store. Can't wait to get home from vacation and play, I've been waiting for months for this game! - Lemmy.World

My impression of github since switching to Linux - Lemmy.World

I’ve been transitioning to Linux recently and have been forced to use github a lot when I hadn’t much before. Here is my assessment. Every github project is named something like dbutils, Jason’s cool photo picker, or jibbly, and was forked from an abandoned project called EHT-sh (acronym meaning unknown) originally made by frederick lumberg, forked and owned by boops_snoops and actively maintained by Xxweeb-lord69xX. There are either 3 lines of documentation and no releases page, or a 15 page long readme with weekly releases for the last 15 years. It is either for linux, windows, or both. If it’s for windows, they will not specify what platforms it runs on. If it’s for Linux, there’s a 50% chance there are no releases and 2 lines of commands showing how to build it (which doesn’t work on your distro), but don’t worry because your distro has it prepackaged 1 version out of date and it magically appears on flatpak only after you’ve installed it by other means. Everything is written in python2. It is illegal to release anything for Mac OS on github.

I constantly get errors loading images. - Lemmy.World

It happens consistently with any mander.xyz community. Errors nearly identical to this: {"error":"unknown","message":"Request error: error sending request for url (http://pictrs:8080/image/original/4083b4bb-ab1d-45cc-9ff0-72280ce5c2ff.jpeg): operation timed out"} This time it was this image: https://mander.xyz/pictrs/image/4083b4bb-ab1d-45cc-9ff0-72280ce5c2ff.jpeg [https://mander.xyz/pictrs/image/4083b4bb-ab1d-45cc-9ff0-72280ce5c2ff.jpeg] It only happens with images. I only browse on mobile, android. I’ve had it happen in Firefox and the boost app, haven’t tried it anywhere else. Let me know if I can provide any other info that will help. This only happens to me with mander.xyz, and consistently happens every evening with nearly all images. Maybe 1 out of 20 times I’ll get lucky and an image will load. There are too many communities I like here so I haven’t just blocked it yet, hoping it can be fixed eventually. :)

Feature request - tap to dismiss images - Lemmy.World

I’d love to use this as my main app, but gestures are hard for me. I’d love it if I could tap once on the screen to dismiss media that was brought up by tapping a thumbnail (in compact view). Ideally there would be very little delay between tap and dismiss.

Ideas for what image to put on my security touch screen panel? - Lemmy.World

I recently got a touch screen panel, 1280X800, and the screen is on 24/7 (which is fine). The only problem is it’s in my peripheral vision when I’m at my desk and it by default cycles through some stock images when not in use. Does anyone here have any static image you keep on your wall-mounted displays when they aren’t in use, or any ideas for such an image? I was going to fall back on just disabling the image all together and have the actual interface showing, but that’s boring. I was thinking of something related to my home, saying like the {surname} household, or maybe a picture of my cats or something funny, I am not sure either way. I figured some of you here might have thought about this already and might have some good suggestions.

Does this seem familiar to you?

Feature Request - Lemmy.world

First off, amazing app. I didn’t use boost for reddit, but currently this is the best app for my personal uses that is out there. I use the small cards with full width images. I mainly browse by tapping the image to expand the preview. Previously, I used relay for reddit with a very similar layout. I have 4 features/changes that I would love to see options for. 1. I am left handed, and I have the image thumbnails on the left. It’s very difficult for me to reach the floating button to hide read posts. I cannot do it while holding my phone in my left hand. An option to put the button in the middle or on the left would be nice. 2. One of the best features of relay was how quick it was to open and close images. All of the images would pre-load the hq versions so when I tapped, there would be 0 loading at all. I’ve noticed some loading with boost for lemmy which isn’t super annoying but it would be cool to avoid. 3. Relay had an option to disable double tap to zoom in previews. This means that when you would tap an image to dismiss, it would not wait for the double tap and would disappear immediately. This is the single biggest difference between the 2 apps that I notice regularly. It does get kind of annoying, having to wait every time. 4. When dismissing an image, it simply disappears. It would be cool if the image “shrunk” back into the thumbnail location which would make it easier to see which post I just opened in case there are similar looking image thumbnails next to each other, such as text images. Relay also has this. Again, I’m not trying to bash the app. This will be my app of choice going forward and I’ve already purchased the ad removal. It really is a fantastic app. I’m just throwing some ideas out there that could be cool :)

My video doorbell caught a Loram rail grinder, which is used to clean the rails. More info in text post. - Lemmy.world

Several cars grind metal on the rails to clean and polish them. It goes very slow and railroad traffic has to be temporarily delayed. At the front and back cars are 2 large streams of water that put out possible fires started by the grinding.
