Ah, good shout, thanks I'll do that πŸ‘

Although some would argue there's a lot of foreshadowing.

Maybe, although it's multiple people, so seems like it wouldn't be a camera fault.

Possibly it's how they are getting to me - I don't get them directly, they come to via someone else, and I think the someone else may be getting them via WhatsApp (which I don't use).

So in fact it's maybe the compression from WA, rather than an issue with HEIC? I should have thought of that before!

Maybe they're doing something else to their files then, but seriously they are grainy as hell.

Ah, that's a shame. Thanks anyway though :-)

I considered that, but it's a paid app - yes it's only a token amount (99p in UK, ymmv) but just as a point of principal, am I fuck paying extra just to be able to open some photos.

[–] sanguinepar 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I think I've got that but have never played it. Must get it running one day!

[–] sanguinepar 2 points 2 days ago

Oh, that would have been perfection! 😁

Was kind of hoping that at the end we'd hear a distant, "Ow!"

Well, that's a bit awkward...

"Coote was the video assistant referee when a challenge by the Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford on Virgil van Dijk that left the Liverpool defender with an anterior cruciate ligament injury went unpunished."

"Coote also drew the ire of Klopp as the VAR for the 1-1 draw between Liverpool and Arsenal last December after an apparent handball in the box by Martin Ødegaard did not lead to a penalty."

 

Per this thread, I'm wondering if it might be possible to create feeds of favourited people or communities.

I guess this would be similar to how multireddits worked and since that's not available on Lemmy, this might not be either. But maybe some smart person out there knows of a way.

It's not even me that wants to do it, but I'm invested in an answer now! :-)

 

He made a huge mistake.

 

Returning to practice a month and a half after getting shot? Goddamn...

Love it when this happens to the clouds. Purple and red and yellow and on fire...

 

I've decided (after seeing the advice repeatedly!) to try and move away from Chrome and use FF instead. However I've immediately come across an issue which is a bit of a deal-breaker for me, and although I've looked into it, I haven't seen an answer anywhere.

One of the best features in Chrome is the abilty to create a shortcut for an individual URL. This shortcut can then be placed on the desktop, start menu or quicklaunch toolbar (Win 10) and opened as if it were a program in its own right - so, no URL bar, no tabs, no bookmarks, just the site content.

I use this method every day for a number of different sites - Outlook, Gmail, Calendar, Keep, Sheets, Docs, etc, and it's perfect. So much so that I usually forget that I'm technically opening all of these in Chrome at all, not least because the site favicon shows in the taskbar in place of the browser logo.

So, I assumed that FF would be able to do the same thing... but apparently not. Am I missing something? I've found people discussing old features like SSB (site-specific browsing) and PWA (progressive web apps), but as far as I can tell all work on this in FF has been discontinued.

I would maybe just put up with this, and use Chrome shortcuts for these sites, and FF for everything else, except that links clicked from within them will open in Chrome intead of FF, which makes for a confusing experience.

Anyone know of a good solution to this? Thanks in advance!

 

Or at least that's what Google says they are... :-)

 

Already getting sick of seeing 'AI' results at the top of a search when all you want is a link to a site?

I just discovered this article showing a way to not see it (although it doesn't disable it altogether).

TLDR:

  • In Chrome open settings menu, choose Search engine on left menu and scroll down to site search
  • Click Add button and choose a name (eg Old Google, Google Web or whatever)
  • Add a shortcut word (eg web, og, or whatever)
  • Add this URL string: https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14
  • Save that, and now if you search for something and use the shortcut word you set you'll just get proper results, no 'AI' shown
  • Or, if you don't want to have to add a shortcut word, you just make that search your default (use the 3 dot menu next to the name you set) and all searches will show that way, no shortcut word needed.

EDIT - meant to add that there are detailed instructions for Edge, Firefox and Safari in the article if you don't use Chrome

Hope that helps someone - I really don't like all that extra nonsense when I just want a link to a site that I know exists!

[Obligatory - "or don't use Chrome/Google...", I know - but people do, so this might be useful]

Just wondering if anyone knows of a way to do this?

Here's my use case in more detail

I have a laptop and a PC, with the laptop connecting to one of my 2 monitors via an HDMI splitter. This allows me to use my PC on both screens most of the time, but then quickly switch one monitor to show the laptop, when required.

Only thing is that doing that causes all PC windows* on Screen 2 to jump to Screen 1, while Screen 2 now shows the laptop's windows. That's fine, and I get why it does that (effectively the PC thinks I've disconnected Screen 2).

* (usually it's a bunch of Chrome windows, 5-7 of them - for work/multi-client reasons this works best for me and my PC handles it fine)

When I switch the HDMI splitter back, all PC windows remain on Screen 1, while Screen 2 is once again showing my PC desktop, but with no windows. Ideally all windows would flip back to where they were before, but I don't think there's a way to do this, and again, that's fine.

My next preferred option is to be able to able to move all Chrome windows over from Screen 1 to Screen 2 quickly - and this is what I'm looking for advice on. I can't seem to find a way to "select" all/multiple Chrome windows and shift them to Screen 2, but it feels like there must be a way?

Any help greatly appreciated :-)

 

Not much for a mention for TP though, but in case Josie fans are interested :-)

To Norway: An Apology (self.football)

Sorry Norway. Our jammy win in Oslo robbed you of a chance to experience a major tournament. Instead, your place went to a badly organised rabble, with no urgency, no ambition and not even basic ball control.

You should have been in this tournament, and that disgraceful excuse for a Scotland team should have been languishing in 3rd or 4th. How in god's name did we beat Spain?

Sorry Norway, you deserved better.
