title bar on linux mint cinammon windows - how to resize? - Lemmy.world

I recently installed Linux Mint Cinammon on an old laptop to try it out. The Title bar on windows is too tall for me preferences. I poked around in settings but couldn’t find a way to make the title bar shorter. Is this not possible or is there some CLI-fu config to force it?

[Android Firefox 116.3.0] about:config returns nothing, says Connection is not secure - Lemmy.world

How do I get to the about:config page? It says Connection is not secure. There is no popup which asks “if I am sure”. What I tried already: * Disabled all extensions * Disabled all system wide tracker and ad blockers * Turned off HTTPS only mode * Turned off Enhanced Tracking Protection Didnt know how to enter Safe mode in Firefox for Android. So couldn’t try that. * Wiped cache and all app settings using Android Settings:App menu. * Uninstalled Firefox. * Reboot Device. * Reinstalled Firefox. * about:config does same thing; no change. This happens on both my Android Tablet and my Android Phone, both Samsung. Any ideas?

I tried acode, quickedit, markor, squircle CE, and numerous others. Isn’t this like a basic thing, to sort?

Remove Save Settings button; just save them when user presses the back button. Easier. User doesn’t have to remember to press Save Settings. Do it automatically. You can even add a cancel button if user doesn’t want to save changes.

Any Nostr ppl here? - Lemmy.world

Been hearing a little about Nostr. Apparently it’s a protocol? How did it differ from fediverse stuff like ActivityPub protocol? What is the community size or population of Nostr users compared to Lemmy or Mastodon? Do you use it?

Interesting. I to almost abandoned Ove. The guy was too much of an asshole. Just over the top. But for some reason I stuck with it and finished the book.

I mean I’m a grumpy, foul mood person most of the time, but I’m not an ass about it. I’m still nice and kind to people.

Haven’t read any others by the same author.

Grrr… I guess I need to work on formatting. Let’s try this again

I wish "they" would separate "fantasy" from "romance fantasy" genre. - Lemmy.world

I see many 4.5 to 5 star fantasy books. I get excited and read about them only to find out they are really just “romance” or smut type books. Grrr. I really wish these romance novels would separate themselves from the fantasy genre. It wastes my time seeking out highly rated fantasy books only to find out they are actually romance books. I wish I could block the romance and smut books when searching for fantasy novels. It’s disappointing that these romance novels are masquerading as fantasy novels. I do understand these romance novels really are, for the most part, fantasy, but I wish I wish there were a separate category either for the romance fantasy or for the traditional non-romance fantasy novels so I could block them in my searches. I’ve no interest in romance at all.
