I just found my old gopher page. Given that's still up the user account must be there. Is the username listed on gopherspace the same as the login name?

I tried recover but it says no such user. It very well might be that I didn't set up any password recovery ten years ago. So either there's no user with that login anymore or it reports no such user because it's not set up for recovery. Maybe I'll try make a new user with same username.

I actually tried to finger the same usernames on sdfeu.org and it reports no such user so I guess it's not there.

I tried finger as the other commenter suggested. I tried bunch of variations. Whole username, 8 chars truncated, and a shorter version which was in my notes. I also tried both sdf.org and freeshell.org. All of them gave me an empty output. I guess the fact that it didn't output no such user means it must be either of them. Or all of them refer to the same user.

I also found an email sent from my sdf user. The address in format [email protected] had the whole username (more than 8 chars). Then there's the shortest version of the name in my notes. That's written as sdf.lonestar.org/1/users/username. No idea what that refers to. Seems I didn't take very good notes. So which of these would more probably be the correct one?

Someone commented on my post about Devil World that what I experienced was Tetris effect. When I was scrolling vertically on my phone I would occasionally experience sideways scrolling similar to the game mechanic even though there certainly wasn't any sideways scrolling happening.

Another one was when I was playing Portal. Traveling via portals became my usual method to move around in every dream I had those days.

Can you give an example how that would happen?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

It's the same way in Finnish.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yes it does. I think it's that way because it's in locative case even though it doesn't make the word itself look any different. English sort of has cases and doesn't.

It works similarly in Latin. You don't say ad domum. You only say domum.

That works if you take enough tranquilizers.

If you happened to like one of your test bakings particularly then you couldn't reproduce it as accurately unless your method is consistent enough. So you wouldn't benefit that much if the test was success, I suppose. But I don't really do much baking so I don't know how difficult it is to get it right and how much it matters.

I think he meant having the 3,5 mm jack in a phone.

Maybe their necklaces and earrings don't adhere to OSHA regulations. I don't know. Everyone has to use their own judgement when posting and I think it's better to mark NSFW when in doubt, but there seems to be at least two different ways people use NSFW feature so sometimes the choice of using an NSFW tag might not make sense.

 

Most of you might know already but I just found out about this today because I needed it. I had thought there's just no way to use escape in norm commands. So I had this file with list of items which were mostly separated by newlines but some of them were separated by spaces so I had to clean it up. It looked something like this:

begin A
begin B begin C
begin D
begin E begin F begin G
begin H

and I needed it to be like this:

begin A
begin B
begin C
begin D
begin E
begin F
begin G
begin H

The beginning of every item was the same string of characters which was helpful. So I had an idea but it required the use of escape in a norm command. I was about to think of some other way that doesn't require escape but then decided to google it and find out if there was a way to use escape. To my surprise it was possible! Why I haven't thought of this before? So this is what I came up with:

:g/.*begin/norm /begin^[hr^M

So the ^[ is an escape and you get it with C-v Esc. Simple as that. The command to organize my list isn't perfect though as it has to be run few times to go through every item but it was enough for my purposes.

TL;DR: Press C-v Esc in command line mode to get escape.

 

Right now I can't use sopuli via Connect for Lemmy app but the website seems to work fine. Any ideas whether this is a problem with the server or the client? The app just says that sopuli.xyz is not responding.

 

When switching accounts there's some weird behavior if global settings are switched off (both accounts have their own settings). After switch all the settings are either set back to default or partially changed.

For example one time it changed text color to black against black background so it was very difficult to navigate the app to change it back to normal (I could only see black). Sometimes it still shows the correct setting on the settings menu but I have to reset it to the same value in order to make it effective.

It would be useful to also have a safety feature on the app that doesn't let text color ever be too similar to background color regardless of the theme settings. I don't think there's any use case for all text to be invisible in the app.

 
 

I mean the thing that shows up to right side of the screen when scrolling. That would be nice to have in comments view to give visual information on how many comments left / total.

It might be useful in debugging too as you can see where it jumps when it glitches --> extra info for bug reports. Seems like kuro already fixed one comment section bug (long threads glitched) but still occasionally feels bit glitchy.

 

Oletettavasti suomisopulit harrastavat pelaamista joten päätinpä kysyä tällaista: Suurin osa videopelisanastosta on englanniksi, mutta onko suomalaisten käyttöön päätynyt käännöksiä tai alun alkaenkin suomenkielisiä videopeleihin liittyviä sanoja? Minulla tulee näin äkkiseltään mieleen vain seuraavat.

  • kenttä (level/stage)
  • energia (health/hit points)
  • loppuvastus (boss)
 

I suppose it just wouldn't look right. They have their old man toffees like Werther's.

 

I've heard it's the first but not really sure. Anyway, the overseas version linked in the post is particularly cute since the singer is obviously not a professional and it feels like the main character herself is singing as the voice actor is probably the same as the singer. I was like "what the hell is happening?" when I heard it first time on my SNK Anniversary collection.

 
 

Often I tend to scroll too slowly and it registers as a long press so some random comment gets hidden and I have to unhide it. Can you add an option to disable long press actions? Or it could be improved so it doesn't register if it's not a stationary press but I'm not sure whether it would work or if other people already like the way long press works.

Edit: Apparently it already registers only stationary press so maybe either an on/off switch or long press time adjustment would be good to have.
