Mozilla’s approach to Manifest V3: What’s different and why it matters for extension users in c/[email protected]

[–] plz1 10 points 1 week ago

Mozilla’s approach to Manifest V3 prioritizes user choice and control, offering developers more APIs and supporting both Manifest V2 and V3. This contrasts with Google’s approach, which limits extension functionality and will phase out Manifest V2 by mid-2025.

HP adds 15 minutes waiting time for telephone support calls in c/[email protected]

[–] plz1 2 points 2 weeks ago

This is just layoffs with more steps. People aren't this patient, so forcing a minimum wait allows HP to have less contact center staff. Irony is it's far cheaper for this type of worker than it is for the C-suite making these awful decisions in the first place.

food safe finish in c/[email protected]

[–] plz1 5 points 2 weeks ago

Yes it'll work. The "conditioner" is just a mix of food-grade mineral oil and beeswax. You'll probably want to apply several coats, per the instructions on the bottle. Just note, that stuff isn't a permanent finish, so you'll need to reapply it periodically. Washing with hot water will make you need to reapply it ore frequently, due to it taking the wax out of the finish. You may want to get just mineral oil and finish with that, first, as the wood you used is fairly porous, and you want to have the wood soak up as much of that oil as possible.

Source: I use that stuff on my own cutting boards.

Any bets on whether this gets added to the Russia/US-negotiated deal for Ukraine?

These are state charges, so only by the NY Governor. But this was basically a very gentle tap on the wrist, anyways.

My brain forced that to into an acronym, RWBL, which my brain also pronounces "ruble", as in the Russian currency. Tin foil hat, engaged.

Any way to change background color of CarPlay's "Now Playing" view? (self.apple_enthusiast)

submitted 1 year ago by plz1 to c/apple_enthusiast

1 comments fedilink

For me, it's a light grey color and the text is white, even when CarPlay is set to always use dark mode. This is hard for me to read, but I can't find any way to change this. I'd rather just have an actual dark background when in dark mode.

For folks using multiple accounts, it feels a bit buried to go from content in one to the other. It would be nice if the number of taps to go between different accounts was reduced by a few.

I don’t know if this is the app, instance issues, or both, but I’ve found this feature to not work well

I think it would be cool to be able to swipe left/right when viewing an image post from the feed or in a community and be able to go from post to post like a slideshow.

[Bug] Swipe left to reply in Inbox just marks comment "read" and hides it (self.memmy)

submitted 2 years ago by plz1 to c/[email protected]

1 comments fedilink

Reproduced in latest release today. When I swipe left on a comment in Inbox to reply to it, it just hides it. If I go to the All view and re-swipe left, it'll open the reply dialog. So it appears to only be a bug if you have the view set to Unread.

Accessibility abandoned? (self.memmy)

Build 72 seems to be the nail in the coffin for font scaling. All text is tiny now. It's there any plan to support accessibility?

It seems like some failure loop. It won't load the community screen at all. If there is at least one post, it loads fine.

Some communities will have a deluge of posts, which tend to astroturf the main feed. I loved the feature in Apollo that let us mark a sub as a favorite to make it easy to get to, without subscribing to it and having it hit the main feed.

Can we get the option to put the voting buttons on the left? Also, view on ipad is truncating the titles when there is plenty of room.

When the app launches fresh, it seems to default to All instead of what I had before (Subscribed).

EDIT: I just found the setting for this. I don't recall seeing it before, but happy it's there!

Feature request: Better color contrast for voting buttons (self.lemmyworld)

submitted 2 years ago by plz1 to c/lemmyworld

14 comments fedilink

In dark mode, when viewing the voting buttons, could we get higher-contrast coloring when a post is voted on? The upvote coloring is nearly impossible for me to distinguish from the default un-voted color (light blue vs. grey). I'm using the darkly theme, but darkly red has the same challenge. Using browser extensions to override this is only an option for desktop-only usage.
