I'm gonna chalk it up as yet another problem with Firefox Mobile. I really want to like it, but it doesn't make it easy haha

I'll probably try again another time on something Chromium-based

My Odyssey G7's panel also fell off 2 weeks before the end of the warranty.

In addition to that, the Odyssey series also has a weird issue where if certain conditions are met, the entire screen will dip in brightness and display horizontal lines. It's very distracting. They're aware of the issue (as many people have reported it) but they aren't doing anything to fix it. I won't be buying another.

I filled it all in and the button at the end didn't work. That's 20 minutes I'm never getting back :/

Not to mention VSCodium already exists.

I figured they would just run sfc /scannow and then sit staring at their screen bewildered when it inevitably does nothing.

Pretty sure that you get the benefit of the doubt if you had a feasible reason for adding/changing something about your food.

For example, you could add a laxative to your food/drink and be totally in the clear as long as you labelled your container with your name and maintain that you've been constipated. It's a totally valid reason, plus it was labelled with your name so there's no reason for anyone else to be consuming it.

That's exactly what an old person would say!

how to see which instances have blocked/defedorated other content/instances? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

The colours on that site are rather confusing. Defederated instances are shown in green and federated instances are shown in yellow.

I used to use that for ages, but the constant ads made me uninstall it

Yes, that's the entire point. They promote STEM topics to their own youth and funny silly brain-numbing dances to their political opponents.

In a number of years, China's workforce will be scientists and engineers while the US will be full of influencers and microcelebrities who provide very little actual value.

They're playing the long game.

Just found this article about it that seems to fundamentally misunderstand it in every single way. I didn't know it was even possible to be this clueless. Either that, or it's AI.

What can you ACTUALLY use Mage Hand for? (lemmy.world)
 

Is it just me, or is Mage Hand useless? Like, impressively useless.

I'm new to DnD (and DnD-like games) so I could be in the wrong here, but every time I think of something that Mage Hand should be able to do, it just doesn't.

Want to pick up an unreachable item and carry it to me? No.

Want to loot an otherwise unreachable body? No.

Want to pickpocket someone without being caught? No. (Okay, I get that this one would be pretty broken, even in normal DnD this is sometimes disallowed)

Want to fly a few feet up and light an overhead brazier? No.

Want to do literally anything useful? No.

Want to squeeze through a small hole to see a room you've already looted? Sure!

I'm at the point where instead of trying to think creatively about how to use it, I just immediately write it off because it probably can't do whatever I'm thinking of. I am genuinely surprised when I find out Mage Hand can do something, and that's not a good thing.

The only idea I had that actually worked was using it to stealth the early phase spider section by just throwing the gem at the end backwards, then moving the hand in the opposite direction to draw aggro. That's literally the only "useful" thing I've done with it, and I've still not found a use for the gem.

So I ask, what have you done with Mage Hand that's actually useful?

What features would you like to see in your favourite Lemmy app? (lemmy.world)
 

I'm not currently developing a Lemmy app, and I have no plans to, so this is not a market research post for myself. If anything, I'd like it to be a resource for existing developers to see which features the community most wants!

So, putting aside regular features (e.g. things that the Hard-R app already does), I'm specifically wondering about which less common features you all want?

Here's of one of mine:
I'd like to be able to limit my usage of an instance to a specific account. For example: I never want to post to LemmyNSFW from my main account. That's what my alt is for. So I want to be automatically switches to my preferred account per-instance when I interact with it (or at least give me the choice to switch on-the-fly when composing a post or comment).
