  • Sorry I was being unecessary obnoxious. I just meant they could have written it saying "this could happen" rather than presenting it as "this will happen."

    I'm just really triggered lately by everything online being exaggerated for clicks.

  • They did the monster math*
  • I think friction and mass will affect those pulls non-linearly, probably to the point of the snail not able to even move. See, now you've made me go and ruin the whole cartoon premise!

  • this 82 year old woman dressing like she was 40 or younger makes me think about how ridiculous I'll look like when and if I reach that age. Am I misguided?
  • Putting in the effort to dress in the way one has come to think is appropriate for appearing in public is a form of self-care. For some people, from certain generations or cultures or who have adopted the habit to their identity, that may be more formal or elaborate than for others.

    That a person of an advanced age, possibly suffering some mental decline still does this is a great thing, and very good for their well-being.

  • What does everyone here do when you can’t sleep and are wide awake besides being on phone? [serious]
  • I play some music (thru earbuds unless my wife happens to be away). My go to is the Goldberg Variations. I think the reason it works, even though it can be quite busy and fast in some parts is that there is enough complexity to occupy the mind, but enough sameness to lull, and I know it really well.

    Sometimes I'll take 1mg of melatonin, and a cup of warm milk with honey.

  • Do you know a music player from fdroid that does this?
  • I don't have an answer, but FWIW, here's ideas for expanding your search in case exactly such a thing doesn't exist:

    video players can sometimes handle audio too, maybe a video player has this function

    players that have command line interfaces sometimes have timestamp parameters (i think such players exist on Linux, don't know about Android)

  • URnetwork?

    Searching F-droid today for 'vpn', something called URNetwork came up, touting itself as better then a VPN, and sounding frankly too good to be true. Duckduckgo searches are finding very little not either going to them (ur.io, or their github, etc) or some site called Product Hunt that I've never come across before. Nothing useful or that gives me confidence even that this isn't a scam.

    Does anyone know anything about this product?

    First few seconds of videos dimmed

    So is this Thunder itself or some app it is deferring to whose config I should look at?

    Basically videos start out dim for a few seconds until the video controls fade out. This means the first few seconds of every video are basically unwatchable, and with short videos this is all or most of the video. For example https://lemmy.world/post/17884719

    why is the create comment button at the top?

    Of the many Lemmy clients I've tried, Thunder is the one I like the best, but the one place I have nits is the creating a comment experience.

    After typing the comment you have close you keyboard, to have any hope of the create button being visible (if your comment is really short) and then scroll all the way back up to the top. Isn't the bottom the obviously better place for this button?

    Even worse, if in trying to scroll the screen, you accidentally hit the little horizontal bar at the top, you just lose your comment.

    Finally, it seems to always lose my place in the thread and put me back at the top after entering a comment.
