Arguably, the fix should be to “it” since anon is a utility account, not a user.

Ah, ok, that makes more sense. That also solves any ordering problem if you, say, you’re running local and elsewhere commands and a sync means pressing up gives you an unexpected item.

Sync seems like it’s going to be more pain than its worth unless you have all your machines configured the same. I’m not even running the same distros between machines…

It allows selecting multiple languages, but it’s not clear and setting multiple is fiddly - most sites use multiple checkboxes instead for this reason. Anyway, if you select Undetermined, English and whatever else you’re happy to see, you’ll see a lot more comments (and posts, probably).

Edit: to select multiple, hold control while clicking/spacebarring to add another.

It should have two language settings - those you might post in (for the dropdown on making a comment/post) and for those you’re happy to read (I’d just set it to all, since I can always translate anything that looks interesting).

And kills it.

This is a great read, I’ll definitely bookmark this for when someone says it won’t be problem.

I’m a massive fan of skeuomorphic design, and Windows 98 was just so intuitive and practical. Things you could drag looked like you could move them, that bumpy texture thing was used in places it wasn’t obvious already, and 3D made clickable things look like buttons.

I’m a software developer and power user, and Android surprised me by having a horizontally scrollable area with absolutely no indication other than the visible items didn’t include something I was expecting to find.

I’m trying it now - I like it but there are a few confusing choices, like how you can only have one widget visible at once.

How do you access the shortcuts that would normally be placed on the home screen? I have some webapps and e.g. OpenVPN shortcuts that I currently can’t see.

It was announced in July 2022 and also they bought Sesame which I use too 🤦

of course, I want to know how urgent this is - it’s stealing my data now, or they’ve only just bought it and perhaps just blocking updates is enough (until I find time to find a FOSS replacement)?

I missed that news 😞 Is there any sign that it’s spying on us yet?

I imagine the devs have stats on uninstalls - I wonder what they show.

Mine’s been running for a while too, and I keep finding ways that it’s useful.

I have my music collection there, ready to be streamed, I have Joplin syncing with it from various places, it’s hosting my Matrix account if I need access away from my normal devices, I have a few things using it to coordinate and plenty of other things backing up to it.

That was my first thought - if reddit doesn’t want that feature, we’ll take it!

I forgot to take my little 8-subscriber sub private, until now. I kinda hope they don’t budge, because I’m perfectly happy to move on.

I think many people only know what it is because MS Word would (does?) suggest rewriting passive voice into active.

Wiktionary gives him the invention credit (although its source does seem to be KnowYourMeme).
