- Comment on Is there any reason to use the "new" sorting option on Lemmy, except to filter spam? 3 weeks 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 When did we stop saying "things are fire" to "things are cold"? 3 weeks ago:
Alright, alright, alright, alright…
- Comment on How come people who are against abortion are in favor of the death penalty? Kind of seems like a contradicition/ 4 weeks 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 weeks 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.
- Comment on Is there a name for the trope where a story is high fantasy at first glance, except for it's not fantasy and is actually set in a post-apocalypse dystopian future? 1 month ago:
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)? 1 month 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)? 1 month 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)? 1 month 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 2 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 2 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.

- Comment on (Win 10) Move all windows of a single programme to a different screen? 2 months ago:
Thanks for the advice - writing scripts is a bit outside my wheelhouse, but hell, maybe I’ve just never had a reason to learn, if someone hasn’t already. Much appreciated, cheers 👍
- Comment on (Win 10) Move all windows of a single programme to a different screen? 2 months ago:
Cool, thanks. I already use Power Toys, and had hoped it might have something, but sadly not.
Will check out those other two though, thanks a lot 👍

- Comment on Why do people complain about multiple streaming platforms existing? 3 months ago:
And yet even Spotify has started having exclusive content in the form of certain podcasts. Only a matter of time before they do it with music too.
- Comment on Why do people complain about multiple streaming platforms existing? 3 months ago:
Yeah, that’s something I’ve long been worried about - Warner Music, and Sony Music, and so on. I’m really glad I kept all my old CDs!
- Comment on Do you agree with my unpopular opinion about height in fencing? 3 months ago:
I know nothing about fencing, but I’m 6’6" and I agree with the general point that people over stress the benefits of height and undersell (or underestimate) the disadvantages. That could be in sport, or life generally tbh.
- Comment on if the total fertility rate drops and stays below global replacement rate, will humans disappear? 3 months ago:
I think if you hadn’t described it as bonkers and unethical you might have had some views on that! ;-)
- Comment on What is the actual point of a bra? 4 months ago:
No problem at all - and bullets are just a star and a space, then your text and then the two spaces at the end, and then repeat :-)
- Comment on What is the actual point of a bra? 4 months ago:
I think she wrote the pros and cons as a vertically stacked list, but formatting forces it into a paragraph, unless you add a double space at the end of the line.
- Comment on How do trees know? 4 months ago:
If, over a long time period, that tree’s particular characteristics lead to the species surviving, then it worked.
If it doesn’t, then the species dies out.
There’s no feedback, other than whether or not the species continues to exist.
- Comment on How to talk about the PM of the UK. 4 months ago:
Agreed in general, but I think ‘Prime Minister Starmer’ is fine tbh, when used by non UK media and people generally.
