What's the syntax here? Do I go

command && yes

I'm not sure if I've had a use case for it, but it's interesting.

Not a bug. You've never been able to zoom in on gifs in boost.

Don't have a solution, sadly, but wanted to note that I was unable to reproduce the issue.

Redmi 8a (mi439), CrDroid 10.6 (A14), boost latest beta (1.0.14 (17)).

Your local print shop. Or, if you happen to have a printer at home, esp an inkjet, at you own home.

I have the exact same issue. The behaviour is consistent.

You should post your device and android version. I failed to reproduce this on Nokia 5.1, Android 10, Stock.

What app are you using to access lemmy?

Boost doesn't have it for comments, but I can easily filter out posts with any word in the title.

Not from the app. It's a setting readily available on boost for reddit, missing entirely from boost for lemmy (please, correct me if I'm wrong, I checked everywhere).

I'm not familiar enough with lemmy to tell you the why. May be instance specific? May be Lemmy specific? May be planned for a future version? Dunno.

OsmAnd for obvious reasons.

Breezy weather, cause goddamn is it nice to have an actually good weather app that doesn't want the most bullshit permissions that a weather app shouldn't ever need access to.

Image Toolbox - it's pretty nice.

Cool Reader - dead project, it's successor KnownReader isn't on F-droid, but it doesn't matter much. I still haven't gotten completely used to known, cool works perfectly fine and it has been my e-reader of choice ever since the j2me days.

What? When? Why? Fuck!

I think that it sounds too expensive to most americans. We think of cost of tuition in cost per credit hour, not per semester, so when you say "tuition is only 500", we might think that it's 500 per hour, or about 1500 per class. which is about what one would expect to pay at a university in the states.

Oh my... God no! Ahahahah

Most of us don't even find out how many EC-whatever credits we need to graduate before we enroll. Pretty sure It's different, depending on the specialty you're going for and largely irrelevant. I don't have my student's book on me rn, but I'm also pretty sure that I've only got two or three teachers so far (second year, but I've tried two other bachelor programs before that) who've bothered writing in my hours. When people talk tuition, it's almost always per semester. You need to keep in mind though, that most of us study on government subsidy if we study in a domestic university (or abroad with Erasmus). The subsidy is different everywhere. E.g I pay 225 Euro per semester, meanwhile somebody from another country would need to pay something like 1600. I'm in agronomy. My uni also teaches veterinary medicine and those guys pay a little more than us. About 270/1700€ subs/oop. Still, it's apparently a great deal to the absolute shit ton of Greeks who come to become veterinarians here. See - in Greece, subsidised education is entirely free, but it's ultra competitive and apparently paying out of pocket in Bulgaria is significantly cheaper than doing so in Greece for a comparable education and a diploma that's recognised back home.

Also the language aspect is hard. Americans aren't brought up to be bilingual, so doing a bachelor program in another language might be exceedingly difficult.

If your pick of uni doesn't have the option to teach your major of choice entirely in English (and plenty do have it), you will be put in language classes as part of your curriculum, starting from the A and B.

However, you might not want the American university students to come over to Europe. They are exactly as bad as they are portrayed in movies.

Lol, I wouldn't know, but if they're really like the frat boys and girls in the movies, bringing them over to the Balkans makes them liable to die if alcohol poisoning on day 3.

Coming over from boost from reddit, which only shows gifs in comments as a small square (tappable to show the .gif), I am absolutely heartbroken to see that Lemmy boost actually supports them. I've never wanted to see a reaction gif in a comment. Never will. It's IMO the worst feature Reddit ever implemented and something lemmy should've never copied.

I'd greatly appreciate it if there was a setting to show inline stills as the target link, given that they're sometimes useful and relevant to the discussion, and a setting to either show in comment .gifs as a little square/target link. Even better would be the option to treat comments with .gifs in them as if the user was blocked - i.e. not show them at all.

 

Every other setting in theme > customise colours gives the ability to input any hex value, other than primary and toolbar text. I'd like to change the tb text to a shade of grey, instead of b/w, and the primary colour to a shade of green not available from the default selection. Is it possible that full customisation be implemented for these two settings?
