  • 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.

  • What's your favourite F-Droid app?
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Piracy
  • I've wondered for a long time - why don't more Americans come study in the EU? We get people from all over the world, but so few Americans and with some of the prices I read about y'all paying at home, you could be happily renting a small apartment, pay your tuition entirely out of pocket, as you'd need to, feed yourself well, fly back home once a year and still not approach the semestral costs in the US. Are our diplomas not recognised across the ocean or is there another reason.

  • [Feature request] Disable or auto-collapse inline images.
  • I concede, their worst feature is new.reddit, but Firefox for android implemented full addon support a few months ago, a workaround before that and I don't even remember how long tampermonkey has been in the recommended list, so I have no interaction with that trash. Any other little annoyances, like breaking up comments to recommend you posts have been trivial to circumvent.

  • [Feature request] Disable or auto-collapse inline images.
  • Major? Nah. But I would've preferred it if the feature was never implemented in the first place, so I'd love a setting to de-implement it.

    Ruben isn't your run of the mill dev. His track record for implementing requested features is long. Why not make the request and see what happens?

    Edit: Besides, my most used apps are, according to Nova, Boost and Boost. Discontinued boost doesn't have the issue and he's probably never going back to it even to fix what little things Reddit broke. Inline gifs used to be a planned feature, though and he'd have already implemented it if not for Reddit's fuckery and you'd see the exact same post on the subreddit. Continued boost has it, so you see it here.

  • [Feature request] Disable or auto-collapse inline images.

    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.

    Mint is up and running!
  • I see. Just checked their site. It appears that we still need the OSBS if we want automatic updates.

    That is, if the method still works. I'm way overdue for actually sitting down and playing a game.

  • [Bug] Clicking replies from your inbox that lead to a deep comment thread break the context lines
  • Both long press and tapping the address in the popupp, and clicking the link you posted leads me to the same thing as in the screenshot I posted.

    I am on boost 1.0.12 (15) from GPlay

    Edit: I can open them /c/ tapping its name in the post and find the May 19 thread, and open it. No /u/Baku, no "calculator" to be found. Can do a screen record if wanted .

    Edit 2: <img>

  • "LiNuX uSeR iNsTaLlInG A BrOwSeR haha" meanwhile :
  • Oh, that makes sense, thank you. I'm really happy with mint. Pretty sure switching to the nightly repos got me most of what I need, for the rest there's PPAs. Rolling release sounds tempting sometimes, trying out Plasma on a distro that supports it is also tempting, but so far I can't be bothered. Mint seems to just work. :D

  • "LiNuX uSeR iNsTaLlInG A BrOwSeR haha" meanwhile :
  • Dunno, but in every forum I've looked, people say not to use it, but let the updates go through the package manager. Sometimes even on threats of FUBARing your system. Could be that all these people are giving old info that's not true, but I never tried it - don't wanna go on the forums and start the thread with "I explicitly did what people say not to. How fix?"

  • Stack of floppy disks: Am I a joke to you?
  • Not old, either. My old desktop that I gave to my younger brother has an optical drive. Whenever I have spare money laying around to build and a place to put a desktop, it's going to have an optical drive. Not having one, at least somewhat reachable makes me anxious. I use it probably less than once a quarter, more like twice yearly, but when I need it, I need it.

  • [Request] Option to input a hex value for "Primary" and "Toolbar text" colours.

    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?
