In 1982, the Scottish football ⚽ team released a single for the World Cup in which pretty much this dream scenario played out for the protagonist of the song.

You’re welcome! 😁

Yeah, same, it’s weird that there isn’t one easily findable!
- Comment on xkcd #3048: Suspension Bridge 3 weeks ago:
I take your point, but “tricked” is a strong word - I chose an image that shows the amount of climb. Having driven over it, I promise , it feels crazy steep! :-)
Yours really only shows the centre of the bridge, barely going beyond the supports. When you get a wider view, you can see just how much users have to climb at the start, to get to the top.Image.

The Skye Bridge is a bit like that: Image
- Comment on YSK someone created a site to endlessly scroll Wikipedia 3 weeks ago:
I used to do basically this, but with the whole internet, when I was bored at work. I’d try and get from one site to another without using the keyboard and with no copy/paste, etc, just mouse clicks. Killed a lot of time that way 😁

He also put 33 instead of 33 and ⅓. Get the pitchforks!

In short, money.
To use the real name ould likely require licensing it. Not to mention that naming a game made by a company owned by one major media conglomerate, might be an issue when you’re a show made by a company owned by a different competing major media conglomerate.

Possibly someone intended to cross post to NSQ on another instance? There’s one on Lemmy.ca for example. Maybe they just typed the wrong one?
- Comment on Is there a way to search for specific words on a site? 1 month ago:
Not 100% on this, but you might need to include the “www.” part, rather than just the domain. Possibly not, but worth a try.
- Comment on Is there any reason to use the "new" sorting option on Lemmy, except to filter spam? 3 months ago:
I always sort by New, but I also only use Subscribed, rather than All. So it’s an up to date list of topics in my curated interest areas.

- Comment on How come people who are against abortion are in favor of the death penalty? Kind of seems like a contradicition/ 4 months ago:
That’s a good point, actually. I hadn’t thought it through enough.
- Comment on How come people who are against abortion are in favor of the death penalty? Kind of seems like a contradicition/ 4 months ago:
To be fair to those people (which, I really don’t want to be), I’m pro-choice but strong against the death penalty. So I guess it swings both ways.

You maniac, you made up! God damn you all to hell!!
- Comment on Question about Firefox - any way to open specific sites as if they were an app or program (similar to an option in Chrome)? 4 months ago:
Oh wow, that’s great, I didn’t realise it was back on the agenda - thanks a lot! 👍
- Comment on Question about Firefox - any way to open specific sites as if they were an app or program (similar to an option in Chrome)? 4 months ago:
Yeah, but I don’t think it’ll open it in the way I want, with only the site content, and no browser furniture. I’ll try it, but I’m not sure. Cheers though 👍
- Comment on Question about Firefox - any way to open specific sites as if they were an app or program (similar to an option in Chrome)? 4 months ago:
Thanks, but I’ve already changed default to FF - the icons are Chrome shortcuts though, so they will only open in Chrome. And I can’t see a way to make equivalent ones for FF, it just doesn’t seem to have the same functionality, in particular opening a link in a window with no tabs, bookmarks of address bar. Although I am going to check out an add on someone suggested that might do the job.
Thanks though 👍

Oh wow - that add-on does look like exactly what I need. Will need to look into it a bit further, not least because of possible security issues, but thanks, that’s a really good lead! Appreciate it :-)

I’m not asking for anything. This isn’t a support request. I found something I find useful and wanted to share it. That’s all.

a lifetime of always fighting google
I think that might just be verging on hyperbole, no?
- Comment on YSK: It's possible to get search results from Google without the annoying 'AI' answers at the top 5 months ago:
I never said it fixed anything in the long run. It allows me (and probably others) to do things the way I want to do them. If it doesn’t apply to everyone, that’s ok.
- Comment on YSK: It's possible to get search results from Google without the annoying 'AI' answers at the top 5 months ago:
That’s fair enough - as long as users have options then all good as far as I’m concerned :-)

This is like those 20 minute videos for a problem that can be fixed in 20 sec
Hence my TLDR. It’s a 6-point bullet list (and the last one is optional).

is really does make more sense to just use Firefox and DDG
I take the point - but it doesn’t make sense if you still prefer Chrome/Google to those overall and just want to change one aspect of it. This is just a way to improve the experience for people who are mostly happy with what they use and not interested in changing from it. It’s great that we as users have that choice, that’s how it should be.

Feel like I covered that at the bottom.
