Plenty of site to participate in and plenty to talk/post about that doesn’t involve your thing.

I comment plenty, and anything else I want to post has already been posted. I guess the only way is to start following RSS feeds to post things more quickly lol. I’m not gonna do that though.

Also the fact that they count it site-wide instead of sub-wide means if you create your own sub or use an appropriate niche sub, you’re gonna screw up your own ratio.

It’s ok to have a rule like this in case of abusers. But I’m not being abusive about it, I’m not using AI, and I’m getting many upvotes. The 10% rule is incredibly strict if applied indiscriminately.

then I wonder what the cutoff is for “low power charger” because I don’t think I’ve ever seen that, it could probably stand to be increased a bit

below 5W, then the charger is considered “slow,” and the message “charging slowly” is shown on the lock screen. If the power is above 7.5W, then it’s considered “fast,” and the “charging rapidly” message is shown instead. If the power is between 5 and 7.5W, then the charger is seen as “normal,” and the lock screen simply says the phone is “charging.”

Seems to be a purely cosmetic change. I was wondering if the OS has any different behavior when charging quickly (like being more aggressive with running background processes, and running updates/backups) but the article didn’t say anything about that.

If my phone was only charging at 5 or 6W I’d want to know the charger is garage. That might not even be enough to use the phone without losing battery. What they really need is to rename “slow” to “very slow”, and then 5W to 7.5W could be considered the new “slow”. The intent being that “very slow” is problematically slow (maybe the OS scheduler could pretend the phone is not charging). And “slow” charging would just be for mild inconvenience.

If only the phone could just tell me the actual number of watts it’s charging at lol. Even if it’s rounded and averaged.

Yeah I did take the age into account, I just figured it’s over a 10x difference and not all of that would be due to battery age.

My mom is still using my release day Galaxy S9+ lol

very interesting, I wonder if the difference is due to the Pixel 8 Pro having a variable refresh rate screen, maybe also because it has a higher resolution screen and different graphic drivers

but with Chrome being about 10x more efficient on P8P than P4a, I’m guessing the variable refresh rate is a big factor there that Firefox isn’t using as optimally

This feature seems really cool!

Any reason to have a button for “show me more” when there’s also an upvote button? But good idea to separate “show me less” vs downvote

I guess another thing you could do is sort a list of communities by how many upvotes you’ve given to them, then you can easily subscribe to communities you didn’t know you liked

I think the devs want comments to be specific to the community in order to retain the culture of each community.

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4225#issuecomment-1904443026

Combining comments is out, because these are different posts that live on different communities, each with their own members and mod policies.

Lemmy-ui already has a “post-deduplicator” that simplifies viewing cross-posts on the same page, that should probably be replicated in a lot of UIs. But that seems to me the best way to handle it.

This comment is another way to explain the issue https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4225#issuecomment-1837522660

This would be a bad user experience for certain communities. Imagine the same news article is posted in /c/cars and /c/fuckcars. It is not desired nor expected to have all comments combined.

But I do think there may be some room for combined comments, like when Lemmy has a method to group communities, maybe those comments could be combined from the grouped communities.

IDK if we’re really missing any software features, but I feel like it’s a good opportunity for a Lemmy plugin

Especially with Lemmy getting support for plugins soon, I don’t see the need for making a new platform

A new sorting method for “unanswered” is a cool idea. I’m not sure if it’s quite as simple as just finding posts with 0 comments, because people can put additional questions in the comments but it’s still unanswered. Also how do you sort them for posts with the same number of comments/answers. But this is definitely something that a plugin could handle.

I saw someone else suggested we could just put “[unanswered]” in the title and then edit the title to “[answered]”

Oh that’s really dumb

Maybe they should’ve rushed it instead of delaying it lol

Then they aren’t using it properly

Or use Cloudflare (properly)

tl;dr: apps should login with the username die4ever@programming.dev similar to email, instead of choosing instance programming.dev and then typing in die4ever for username separately

yea that probably would be simpler, I’m sure some apps already do this

When it comes to moderation tooling I’m honestly a little confused that there isn’t more work or noise around a developing a sideloaded tool.

Yeah we just need volunteers to dedicate their time to it. But it’s a lot easier to complain than it is to contribute.

I think the holdup is that previously SMS was paid for through your carrier, so Google can let any app use it and no one loses money. Now the main RCS instance is hosted by Google, and I guess Google doesn’t want other apps freeloading on their servers since you’re not paying for RCS directly like you are paying your carrier. It really sucks and I hope it gets resolved soon, especially with Apple joining in. We also need a good open source RCS server and client.

Yeah I wouldn’t mind some app guidelines that say no requirement to touch the edges of the screen, keep everything useful away from the edge with some padding

And then you could set the phone to ignore those touches so close to the edge

Did you try these searches while logged in or anonymously? Lemmy (and probably other platforms) don’t allow searches for remote objects unless you’re logged in, this prevents abuse of server resources. The fact that you’re getting replies and you can see them and reply to them means it’s probably all working fine.

Yeah it’s like trying to delete a torrent that you created lol, deleting stuff from the Internet is not so easy. Even websites that claim to allow you to delete stuff may still be backed up by The Wayback Machine or similar, or even just a random user who liked your post and downloaded it.

I would like improvements here, but you should probably still be careful about anything you post if you’re worried about being able to delete it, no matter what site you’re on.
