Make it so I can swipe left to downvote - Lemmy.World

I would love the ability to swipe left to downvote. Right to upvote or vice versa. Long swipes on each side would be a major bonus as well.

Good places to find textbooks? - Lemmy.World

Anyone have any advice for a nooby pirate trying to find some textbooks at the decent price of free-fiddy?

Doh! Didn’t mean to link to a specific time in the video.

The Waveform explains the Fediverse and the protocol war - Lemmy.World

Even though I’m on here, I honestly lurk most of the time and don’t fully understand the activitypub vs at protocol war. This was a great explainer that will reach a lot of people. Really appreciate a lot of David’s takes. I hope David and others at MKBHD become aware of and talk about Lemmy soon too.

Be Cool Even When Really Big Goblins Casually Drop Acid

Be Cool Even When Really Big Goblins Casually Drop Acid - Lemmy.World

Lemmyversers, I’m looking for some help developing a new mnemonic device. Inspired by a video by Epic Spaceman [https://youtu.be/rn9dkV4sVYQ], where he explains a handy system for comparing the size of things from a banana to an atom, I’ve come up with a mnemonic device to aid in remembering these scales. He lists items, each smaller than the previous by a factor of 10: It goes: - Banana - Coin - Edge of the coin - Waterbear/microorganism - Red blood cell - Bacteria - “Good virus”/Bacteriophage - Corona Virus/“Bad Virus” - DNA - Atom So a coin is roughly 1/10 a banana, and the edge of that coin is roughly 1/10 the size if that coin. It gives good references for thinking about other things if similar size. A sort of banana for scale at each factor of 10. And allows you to quickly determine approximations like Covid is roughly 1000 times smaller than a red blood cell. Or an atom is roughly 1 billion times smaller than a banana. (That doesn’t sound right. Is that actually right?) Do you think that’s a useful memory tool? And are these best touchstones for scale at each level? The mnemonic I’ve come up with for it as you may have guessed, is: - Be - Cool - Even - When - Really - Big - Goblins - Casually - Drop - Acid Do you have any better ideas or tweaks you"d recommend for the mnemonic or the touchstones? Would this be helpful when trying to wrap your head around the scale of the micro? Also, what would make for a good macro version of this? Where everything got bigger by a factor of 10?

Great app! - A few requests

Great app! - A few requests - Lemmy.world

Got some ideas/requests. This is my favorite app so far. Love the swipe controls and the compact UI. Liking the snappiness of it all. Ideas/requests * Add direct messaging (I can see my messages but can’t respond to them). * Add trending communities when you click search/a way to explore communities rather than having to type in the specific community you want. * Make it so clicking on “all” at the top of the screen opens a menu that gives you the option to switch between all, local, subscribed and specific subs and functions as a search. * Allow user to customize UI a bit more, specifically in compact mode I’d like to be able to switch the side that the preview thumbnail is on. * Show profile banners and have a way for users to customize their banner and profile pic.
