I from the US, just learned about these today, and had a chuckle.

an essex girl was driving down the A13 when her car phone rang. it was her boyfriend, urgently warning her "treacle, i just heard on the news that theres a car going the wrong way on the A13. please be careful!" "its not just one car!" said the essex girl "theres hundreds of them!"

I need it now.

I need it now.

I’m not a designer, but I can appreciate thoughtful explanations from passionate people, and I very much enjoyed watching her walk through her thought process.

Further, I find steam to be incredibly clunky, and I’d love to see them adopt her design.

I just posted a feature request and thought it might be interesting to also post it here and see what the community thought.

What is the feature that you would like to have added?

When composing text, I want to select existing text and and format it, by adding a hyperlink or enriching it as (e.g.) italics

Solution

When I preselect unformatted text and

…tap to add a hyperlink, my selected text should be populated in the “show text” field.

…tap italics, my selected text should be wrapped in the formatting characters.

If I tap a wide aspect image, and rotate my phone to enbigify my view, the image doesn’t rotate with my phone orientation. If I escape the image viewer and then rotate my phone, the whole UI rotates. If I tap an image while in landscape, the image viewer opens it in portrait mode!

Ami experiencing a bug, or is this expected behavior?

I feel like this has got to be just me - at least one other person would be complaining about this, if it were a thing, right?

Lemmy search isn’t great, or I’m too new, and can’t tell if this has been posted here before.

The surprise is that this is actually a picture of bruschetta!

Has this been reported already? On occasion, some images aren’t possible to close with a swipe action.

I’ve been a big fan of integrated bracelet watches since I started collecting in the late 90’s. This is one of my more recent acquisitions- the bracelet is so interesting!

I’m interested in knowing how many of you take your espresso black, and how many doctor it up somehow.

If you don’t sweeten, why not?

If you do sweeten, why?

From the article (I am not the author)

> Only Watch is a huge deal in the world of watches. You are completely forgiven if you haven’t heard of it, as it’s a charity event that happens only every other year and this is only it’s tenth edition this year. Started in 2005 it was a way to raise funds for research on Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Since then, it has become a milestone event in the watch world, as pretty much every relevant name in the industry contributes a unique timepiece - hence the name Only Watch - to be auctioned off. And they bring some crazy pieces - in 2019, a Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime Ref. 6300A sold for CHF 31 million.

> The last auction raised CHF 30 million with only 53 watches for sale. This year, there are 62 watches going up for auction and I’m going to do something crazy - here’a list of all 62 of them. In alphabetical order.

The search tab icon is on the complete opposite end of the screen from the search text entry field. Engaging with search requires tapping the bottom most area, then the top most area, then back to the bottom keyboard area. It’s slow and clumsy.

Tapping the search tab icon once already brings the user to the search interface. Tapping the tab icon a second time while already on the tab should bring the search text entry field into focus so the user can start typing. See IMDb app for a live demo.

When a post contains an album of multiple images, I can only see the first image in Memmy, but I can confirm via the web that the post contains multiple images.

I haven’t seen anyone else complain about this - am I missing how to do this? Do others not care, or not realize there are multiple images?

Example post that in Memmy shows one image, but the web shows two.

I use the Memmy app on iOS. I edited a comment a day or so ago, and I happened to notice that my comment vote count was reset.

I logged into wefwef, and confirmed the number is the same there.

My account is hosted on the lemmy.world instance.

I’d like to understand if this is a result of the app, the instance, or of the Lemmy platform itself.

To be clear, I’m not too worried about the “points”, but I recognize that even for me, this number is rewarding to look at as a measurement of my interactions with the community, and resetting of that number will diminish enjoyment a little. Many people would be really upset by this, to the degree that I imagine them abandoning the platform.

Here’s a quick video of the inner rotating bezel on this watch.

To engage, the upper pusher ring is pressed in and rotated bi-directionally. Turning the pusher ring without pressing in doesn’t engage the bezel.

Hear me out…

Memmy is going to get big, right? I’d ❤️some way of recognizing the OG team of feedback peeps as we all do our part to grow the fediverse together.

Maybe a colored username, a la the purple u/iamthatis. Maybe a little Memmy icon next to the user name. Maybe something else?!

What do you think? Ideas?

I change out my switches frequently, and I’m looking for a tool that’s better than the free ones I’ve received over the years. Something that is robust, less likely to bend or break, is comfortable to use, and does a good job. Extra points if it’s cool looking, or comes in orange.
