[request] Option to see a list of hidden/visited posts
  • I did both just like you said. The clear hidden posts option does nothing. I can secreen record it for you if you wish.

    I have to sign out and delete all app data to see that post again, but 99% of the times I wouldn't even be able to find it via search ... and that's how it disappears forever. Super frustrating bug which affects the functionality of the app every time I use it

  • This little gadget to find out which type of USB-C cable you have
  • I just bought an expensive c-type ($18) which said superfast on its packing only to found out now its charging speed is super slow: more than 3 hrs to charge my phone while another c-type I have does it in less than 1.5 hrs.

  • Option to see a list of hidden/visited posts

    Connect automatically hides every post I click on. It also, at least on my phone, often closes down and restarts when I switch apps or lock my phone which causes to me lose any comment I was in the middle of typing because, even with drafts ON, it would forever hide that post and there's no where for me to find it again. This has been the most frustrating app feature and nothing comes close to it.

    Btw I tried to disable every 'hide post' option in settings, but Connect still hides every post I open once.

    A history of visited or hidden posts will solve the issue.

    I'd also like to thank the app devlopers for keeping the app light, fast, and ad-free at least for the time being.

    Fifa is ‘ignoring human rights report’ into Saudi Arabia’s 2034 World Cup bid
  • you can't compare the human right records of these. Qatar does not execute its protestors and activists. Saudis are also dirt poor next to any Qatari. Again, this worldcup money is directly from the pockets of these poor oppressed citizens. You cannot find any Qatari who is poor. To give you few statistics about how poor actual Saudi citizens are: 70% of citizens rely on government assistance programs which offer very little and have strict conditions that are not easy to meet in first place, 80% don't own a house, even their doctors and engineers get a salary of $1500 in the private sector, +high unemployment among college graduates, +many have no income at all and cannot qualify for those programs, many are travelled banned because they took loans from banks, +secret court trials without lawyers, life sentences for anyone who tweets anything anti-gov, torture, exexutions... All these things I mentioned randomly don't even exist in Qatar

  • What's your relationship like with your grandparents?
  • dead before I was born and all the stories I heard about them made them awful people who did not care about my parents. I am aware that might be or might not be the case because it was different times back then

  • Instead of Calling Out “Human Shields,” U.S. Media Says Israel’s Intel HQ Is In “Densely Populated Area”
  • They just killed more than 2000 lebanese because Hesbolla HQ were in civilian areas which made the civilians there all human shields and legitimate target. If Iran or Hesbolla killed 2000 Israelis because of Israel Mossad HQ is there, they would cry about another Oct-7 while Lebanon and Gaza have been having multiple Oct-7ths because of the IDF ever since.
    What would Blinken condemn in Hamas that the IDF has not done? We have tens of thousands of kidnapped child hostages in prisons. We actually have videos of decapitaed headless babies in Gaza due to airstrikes by US weapons and airplanes. It's on youtube btw. We have raping of prisoners to death. We have seen deliberate killing of civilians waving white flags and children such as Hind's story where they starved a 6-yr old girl to death trapped in a van with rotting bodies of her family. No military killed as many kids in conflict as the most moral military.

    The US supports an occupying aparthied which besiege and cages people like animals and commit every war crime thinkable. The hypocracy from Biden, Harris, Blinken, and WH is all off the charts.

  • D) all of the above
  • The immoral thing about this is that the upper class don't work at all and get richer stealing the wages of "middle class" who get poorer. This fucked up wealth gap has been getting worse every year while the news brag and celebrate that the US has made more and more billionares this year than any other countey on earth

  • The US-Backed Fascist Regime in Palestine
  • he puts all those hollywood S-tier clueless celebrity twats to shame. The Rock and Justin Bieber were sharing pics of Gaza destruction on fire saying "Oct-7 pray for Israel" because they dont know shit about Palestine neither Israel, and were told to follow narrative or get cancelled. None of them has any principle or moral stand on anything. They're all sold.

  • Thank you! ALSA works again without pulseaudio in 129.0.1-1

    I almost gave up and uninstalled Librewolf. For a full month but now I just want to say thank you for restoring ALSA again. For some reason it was disabled in version 128 and required Pulseaudio in order to work. which requires sudo in my case, and that caused me huge grief.

    This's why I hate Reddit and r/worldnews

    Shadow banning your comment where only you can see them.

    This is what I see when I login from my account:

    https://ibb.co/WG8kNxB

    When I logout:

    https://ibb.co/NZhzvtc

    link to discussion:

    https://old.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1d7aqf7/idf_announce_deaths_of_four_hostages_in_hamas/l727jwv/?context=3

    the nazification of /r/worldnews has become ridiculous

    Post upvotes and downvotes are not stored at all

    Once I upvote a post, it would show me orange color that I have upvoted, but then as soon as I click on any post or change the page, I will come back home to find out that non of my upvotes were registered or stored.

    This bug does not happen when I browse online then open the app. Only my upvotes through the app don't get registered.

    ChatGPT cannot do punctuation grammar correctly even if you forced it

    I asked it about how to use etc with three dots in an example followed by a brand new sentence starting with a capital letter afterward.

    It told me : / In standard usage, "etc." is typically followed by three dots and then continues with a lowercase letter. If you are starting a new sentence, you do not add additional dots after "etc." /

    Then I begged it to give me an example of that rule. One such as: I love swimming, soccer, etc... I also love eating animals.

    And it just couldn't do that. It kept typing 4 dots or single dot or no dots at all, and it can't even recognize what it typed every single time. Lol try it yourself

    Issue Comments Disappear as soon as screen goes black

    Very very frustrating and keeps happening to every time I use the app. I type full paragraphs that disaapear if I look away from the screen 10 seconds and it dims black (did not even lock phone or exit app). It haapened this time while I was reading the comment I typed before posting it. I cannot stress how awful that is and it was gone, no draft and not saved anywhere. Please fix.

    Request: Saving Drafts for Comments and Posts.

    I'm tired of having my comments and posts deleted if misclicked once outside the keyboard layout while typing. Also confirmation before exiting and losing everything you typed while typing them as when it happens due misclicks. Please add drafts for comments and posts. it haapened to me 10 times and it's extremely frustrating and awful.

    GF finally broke up with me. I feel happy and sad

    We've been together for 3 years. To give some context, I'm currently in extreme financial struggles that I realistically can't hold a relationship of this type anymore.

    We live in different cities. 6-hrs drive apart. Basically she only likes me for money, and sadly I wouldn't have a problem with that if she reciprocated the giving and care back. It's not a sugar-daddy relationship and was never meant to be. We're the same age and supposed to care about each other in every way and not like this. It sucks when someone only values you as an ATM and ignores every side of your personality and every other kind of support you can provide: Self improvement, self worth, self image and value, health care, emotional, future planning, respect, protection, and all the worrying and care which I give to her more than I do for myself. I emptied my bank account for her and she still wouldn't care for me because it's not enough. Constant gifts for her, her friends, her family, rent, hospital bills, all sort of bills, fancy restaurants, flight ticket and hotel bookings (for her only not both of us), resorts, medical therapy, ... I gave her everything she wished for that I could afford. I let her have the nice things while I still live poorly and have bad ones. All I asked for return is care and time of her day. I'm not talking every day, No; She wouldn't even see me for few hours every month. The last month was the breaking point for me, I spent over $10K on various things for her, and then we decided that I would come to sit with her and she replied with "I can only stay with for 3 hours, then I have to do other things and meet other people." So I asked her to choose a date when she is not very busy and can see me for few more hours at least, and she still wouldn't do that. So I said, "ok no hard feelings, but I'm canceling my trip and all the gifts I was going to bring with me. Maybe we can sort another day in the future." After that she got angry and cussed at me and said to never see, text or call her again in life.

    From my perspective: I do not want to waste so many hours and money to see her for 3 hours. I feel bad about myself and I don't feel desired or cared about. I started to hate this shit of relationship we have where I constantly give my all and everything to someone who doesn't give back anything.

    From her perspective: I'm not good enough and I don't care about her.

    In the end, I tried my best and didn't mistreat her once. I really wish her the best but would not want to apologize and restart things with her again.

    Thank you for the vent and please feel free to share your opinions. I will respect them and try to understand them regardless.

    Lemmy is confusing and poorly limited. How does Lemmy work? Why are there so many Lemmy clones? Do I have to sign up for each of them? Does my post show on each of them?

    First please don't ban me I'm new.

    lemmy.world, lemmy.ml , lemmy.xxx, lemmy.whatever, etct... + hundreds of clones. Is each of these a Reddit by itself containing many subreddits inside it?

    Does that mean if someone in lemmy.xxx/c/jokes posted something interesting that I wont even see it because I'm signed up in lemmy.yyy/c/jokes ?

    That is quite a weakness of lemmy compared to reddit. Can I post on lemmy.yyy if I signed up for lemmy.xxx or do I have to sign up for each of them?

    Which one should I sign up for?

    How can I see all lemmy posts in one place? I can't believe no one has found a solution to this yet and just let hundreds of clones post repeated things. Also how is each moderated? Is lemmy.yyy moderated by sensitive snowflakes who ban anyone who cusses or offends anyone, while lemmy.xxx is ran by racist nazis? How does this work?

    Edit: Thank you I read all comments and thank you some where very helpful. and I hope things get improved and added with time. here for the long ride
