I just found my old gopher page. Given that's still up the user account must be there. Is the username listed on gopherspace the same as the login name?

I tried recover but it says no such user. It very well might be that I didn't set up any password recovery ten years ago. So either there's no user with that login anymore or it reports no such user because it's not set up for recovery. Maybe I'll try make a new user with same username.

I actually tried to finger the same usernames on sdfeu.org and it reports no such user so I guess it's not there.

I tried finger as the other commenter suggested. I tried bunch of variations. Whole username, 8 chars truncated, and a shorter version which was in my notes. I also tried both sdf.org and freeshell.org. All of them gave me an empty output. I guess the fact that it didn't output no such user means it must be either of them. Or all of them refer to the same user.

I also found an email sent from my sdf user. The address in format [email protected] had the whole username (more than 8 chars). Then there's the shortest version of the name in my notes. That's written as sdf.lonestar.org/1/users/username. No idea what that refers to. Seems I didn't take very good notes. So which of these would more probably be the correct one?

Someone commented on my post about Devil World that what I experienced was Tetris effect. When I was scrolling vertically on my phone I would occasionally experience sideways scrolling similar to the game mechanic even though there certainly wasn't any sideways scrolling happening.

Another one was when I was playing Portal. Traveling via portals became my usual method to move around in every dream I had those days.

Can you give an example how that would happen?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

It's the same way in Finnish.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes it does. I think it's that way because it's in locative case even though it doesn't make the word itself look any different. English sort of has cases and doesn't.

It works similarly in Latin. You don't say ad domum. You only say domum.

That works if you take enough tranquilizers.

If you happened to like one of your test bakings particularly then you couldn't reproduce it as accurately unless your method is consistent enough. So you wouldn't benefit that much if the test was success, I suppose. But I don't really do much baking so I don't know how difficult it is to get it right and how much it matters.

I think he meant having the 3,5 mm jack in a phone.

Maybe their necklaces and earrings don't adhere to OSHA regulations. I don't know. Everyone has to use their own judgement when posting and I think it's better to mark NSFW when in doubt, but there seems to be at least two different ways people use NSFW feature so sometimes the choice of using an NSFW tag might not make sense.

 

I suppose it just wouldn't look right. They have their old man toffees like Werther's.

 

I've heard it's the first but not really sure. Anyway, the overseas version linked in the post is particularly cute since the singer is obviously not a professional and it feels like the main character herself is singing as the voice actor is probably the same as the singer. I was like "what the hell is happening?" when I heard it first time on my SNK Anniversary collection.

 

Often I tend to scroll too slowly and it registers as a long press so some random comment gets hidden and I have to unhide it. Can you add an option to disable long press actions? Or it could be improved so it doesn't register if it's not a stationary press but I'm not sure whether it would work or if other people already like the way long press works.

Edit: Apparently it already registers only stationary press so maybe either an on/off switch or long press time adjustment would be good to have.

 

I was thinking of this because in my country there's an institute which determines correct language and therefore many people speak or write their native language incorrectly. Whereas in English there's no central authority which would write the rules.

So when I look at linguistics videos on Youtube and hear descriptivism being the popular opinion, I'm wondering whether it's because that's just how most linguists are or it's the influence of anglophone mindset where nothing is written in stone and they would rather investigate and describe whatever phenomena occurs in the language naturally.

 

Testing

 

This is a very simple thing but it can be useful for folks who are still using mostly arrow keys. It finally clicked for me when I started using Tridactyl for Firefox :)

Most of the time you need down and up motions so you rest your index finger on J and middle finger on K. J looks little bit like a down arrow (mnemonics jown and kup don't seem very intuitive to me). So now you have the main arrow keys assigned to your fingers. Naturally you rest your ring finger on the L key and when you occasionally need to move left just move your index finger to the H key.

 

There seems to be many lemmy apps available. I already tried few apps though I don't even know where to find most of the others. Instead of trying every single one of them I'd like to know if there's anything similar to RIF. Here's some key features of RIF:

  • Simple. Mostly text and no complicated UI elements.
  • Information density. I can see a list of eight posts on my screen. Again, it's just text with no UI decorations.
  • One handed browsing. As I hold my phone with right hand I can easily access both linked url and comments of a post with my right thumb (buttons on right side of the screen).
  • Comment navigation. This is not as important but in larger threads it's useful to navigate between parent comments.

If there's nothing similar available, maybe these could be added to an existing implementation. I could even try to help as I am programmer, though I don't know much about mobile app development.

 

Hi, kurononeko

I installed this app as it supports older android versions but I couldn't sign in or see any posts in the app. Every time I try to sign in it gives me this error message: Error: HandshakeException: Handshake error in client (OS Error: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED: certificate has expired(handshake.cc:393))

I tested with a newer phone and it works well so I guess it has to do with the older android version. I hope this can be fixed.

EDIT: tried to post an image but it gave an error message. At least linking url to an image works.
