Conversely, in the heat of summer, I don't want to have to wait until 8:30pm for the sun to go down.

Your comment has made me realise I don't understand how floating works.

Wild Pigs of Europe would make a good band name.

Notepad is the default text editor on Windows. I'd be surprised if most people even knew WordPad existed.

What do you guys use to write in? in c/[email protected]

I just use Word, but so many people swear by Scrivener that I think I'm going to check it out.

It's the annual Riverfire festival. Fireworks, etc.

At first I thought "fossil generation" meant the creation of fossils and I was confused.

What phone do you have, and what'll it take for you to upgrade to Pixel 8? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

I have a P7. There are 2 things I don't like about it: it's too heavy, and the jerky scrolling.

If they released an updated version of the P5 I would jump on that. The P5 was the perfect phone.

[bug report] The share menu available at the top of a community page shares the wrong address (lemm.ee)
 

If I go to [email protected] while I am logged in to my lemm.ee account and tap the share icon, it creates a link to [email protected] when it should be @lemmy.world.

With pythorhead, can I post to a community in a different instance? (lemm.ee)
 

If I use pythorhead to log in to one lemmy instance, can I still post to a community on a different instance? I tried using discover_community to search for the community (with @community@instance) but that didn't work.

Is this possible, or can I only post to communities on the instance I am logged in on via the script?

When posting a URL, the post title should be automatically taken from the link (lemm.ee)
 

In reddit apps, whenever you create a new post based on a URL, the post title gets suggested from the link title. Can we get this feature in Liftoff?

Are there plans to add mod tools to Liftoff? (lemm.ee)
 

Currently I have to use lemmy in my browser to access mod tools. Will these be brought to Liftoff?

[bug?] lemm.ee on desktop is showing random communities in my Subscribed feed (lemm.ee)
 

If I go directly to lemm.ee in the browser (Chrome), log in, and change the view to Subscribed, I often see posts from communities I am not subscribed to.

David Warner’s place in the Australian Test squad must come to an end (www.news.com.au)
 

While I agree that Warner is no longer up to Test standard, does Australia have anyone to replace him with?

Harris has already failed in his several chances and would probably be a downgrade. Renshaw was very poor in India. I'm not convinced about Bancroft. Who else is there?

[bug] If I upvotes a comment and then leave the thread, when I return to that thread the comment no longer has the upvotes arrow marked in colour (lemm.ee)
 

To reproduce:

  1. Go into a post
  2. Upvote a comment. Observe that the up arrow has changed colour
  3. Exit the post back to the main page
  4. Return to the same post and find the comment. The up arrow will no longer be coloured.
