First step to log in is to paste some URL - and https://lemmy.world/ doesn't work for that... another hurdle to exclude anyone not advanced enough?

Very doubtful.

Is this thread intended for 1. Android/mobile users 2. iOS/mobile users 3. People with computers/mouse/keyboard or what? It seems most Lemmy threads are pretty exclusively aimed at mobile users.

ROFLMAO - looks like they had a hissy fit.

The main issues (as my best lesbian friend once chimed in with me) are the people who are rather too quick to find offence, in an aggressive way, rather than offer a correction or an explanation, or simply engage in some discussion to confirm their initial suspicions.

2 extra/webapp-manager 1.3.4-2 (91.6 KiB 5.3 MiB) (Installed) Run websites as if they were apps

This works fine for me... I had 4 browsers installed last year, so had a variety - like Plex/Overseer/Sonarr opening with Falkon browser and translate with Chrome.

On a limited connection, I'd advise not updating whilst watching a video. It's also possible to download a video and watch it whilst updating.

Beyond that it's not easy to answer - as I don't use discover, but also never do updates without paying attention, so that watching a video at the same time isn't something I'd contemplate.

Haha marketing is what it is... a joke I made up some 30 years ago was that, despite what we see on the surface - the evidence proves that women are disgusting, dirty, fat, ugly animals that need a vast array of products to be created so that they can go outside without offending everyone...

So yes, you're right to find this ridiculous and offensive - but at the heart of it is simple greed, which is the real meaning of the American Dream.

You're joking, right?

My computer is set to 1. Warn me at 9.25 to accept or cancel suspension at 9.30. 2. Set volume to 10% and suspend at 9.30 (just in case it gets woken up, I once woke it up at 4am and had a radio application wake up the family). 3. RTC Wake set to 5.59 4. 6.25am my wakeup music plays.

I have suspend, also hybrid - where it will suspend, and after a certain time (useful for laptops, mine's set for 12 hours so I never hit this unless I go on holiday) it'll hibernate.

This is a pretty dumb question - I would always expect a double-click to fullscreen, and a single click to pause/play on any video in any video player.

The decision was probably made many years ago for the very simple reason that clicking specific targets is much more difficult, so enabling people to use scroll wheel and mouse buttons to do things is a very efficient method of control.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

There seem to be many 'sources'. Youtube have a policy where you can show explosions, you can show guns shooting as long as you can't see the targets - it's clearly written. Yet several people are demonetised for showing clips related to Ukraine for a start - and YouTube doesn't respond to requests to explain, it's a secretive policy that doesn't follow the written policy.

It's also very easy to find other videos which would more clearly break the actual rules as they are written. Basically, they do have an agenda - it applies to many similar channels - and they keep very quiet about real reasons for doing so, instead quoting some bullshit rule which isn't true, and doesn't apply, both at the same time.

Clever crows... (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

A study had to be commissioned, after finding out that crows are social animals, near a busy highway.

Crows can recognise individual people, they post guard crows on buildings, light poles as they go down to find food.

Anyway, it seems they were ONLY getting killed by trucks on a busy highway, so cameras got installed and recordings were studied.

It turns out that the Guard crows can easily spot a hazard and screetch loudly "Cah!!! Cah!!!. But it seems they were completely unable to shout "Truck Truck".

Disclaimer: I'm a noooooob.

I am logged in to lemmy.world.

I have a feed (Beehaw Local) which I open in a new tab about Reddit affecting Google. with the beehaw.org URL (so I'm not logged in or registered) posted by someone at lemmy.world.

If I follow the @ lemmy.world link, I'm still inside Beehaw, same goes for the Technology link.

My confusion is that I can't see how to open and interact with that post without making a separate Beehaw account.

Why am I so stupid on this platform?

Very Confused... (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I've got to say - I can't see how this is really going to take off.... It's so confusing.

Let me try to explain a bit...

  1. Tried making accounts, got one on lemmy.ml and lemmy.world.
  2. Saw some interesting feeds, but can't load lemmy.ml (502 error - maybe overloaded). However, the 'Fediverse' is linked up - so surely I should be able to find this user and connect to his post without too much hassle?
  3. Try to visit - he's on vlemmy.net - I can't interact without logging in. My account doesn't work - is it a different account for every instance?
  4. Compared to ten minutes on Reddit, after 2 days I still haven't found content and/or interaction that I want. I kind of understand how cool federated stuff is, but I cannot get to the product.
  • r/firefox r/linux r/angryupvote r/jokes - you know.... stuff!

I follow a link for the user and end up seeing that I am not logged in, but a note says:

'If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.'

I don't understand this - How? Where? There's no context menu...

I AM LOGGED IN here and now... What gives?

If it's this hard for me, I'm sure that this rules out 99% of internet users from switching over... as I'm sure that more than 75% of Reddit users are dumber than I am.

Oh, and finally now I see another notice:

https://i.imgur.com/tozS6RY.png

If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content.

WTF does that mean? Where did I select, or have an option to select 'Undetermined'?
