sanguinepar , to Sync for Lemmy in What Would You Like To See In Upcoming Updates
@sanguinepar@lemmy.world avatar

This is more of a fix than a feature, but I find that sometimes when I'm in my inbox, I can't get back to my home screen. It's inconsistent but it happens a lot, and I usually have to open a comment reply, then go to the thread, then the community, and then I can use the home button again.

It's something that happened with Sync for Reddit too, so it's not a new issue. I can't seem to work out a pattern of circumstances though, it just seems to happen randomly.

It was a shame how he carried on.

sanguinepar , to Ask Lemmy in Lemons(?) of Lemmy, what is something that feels so obvious to you that you just get lowkey pissed at the world for not knowing?
@sanguinepar@lemmy.world avatar

Holy shit. Remind me never to drive in the US if we are an example of courtesy and self-awareness.

Ooh, I must remember that, that's a good one. Some of my clients could do with learning it.

I've seen people use till, when they mean 'til, but never seen tell. That's just weird.

sanguinepar , to Today I Learned in TIL Hunter S. Thomson got an early honorable discharge from the air force in part because, "Sometimes his rebel and superior attitude seems to rub off on other airmen staff members."

His books of letters from that time are well worth reading if you're interested in that time in his life, very interesting.

sanguinepar , to Ask Lemmy in If human skin was sometimes completely patterned (eg. spots, stripes, etc.), what pattern (if any) would you want to have?
@sanguinepar@lemmy.world avatar

Black and white stripes to match my football ⚽ team.

sanguinepar , to Ask Lemmy in What is your favourite poem, and why?
@sanguinepar@lemmy.world avatar

I really like the Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Coleridge. I first encountered it as a result of reading Douglas Adams' Dirk Gently novels, but one day I saw the original in the library and just read it from start to finish. It's fantastic, so weird, so compelling.

I also like his Kubla Khan, the imagery of the "caverns measureless to man" and the "sunless sea" have always stuck with me.

Likewise, that's just how I read it.

Agreed, it's such a clickbaity tactic - makes it sound like they're revealing some dark secret Google wanted kept hidden, when in fact it sounds like a small but useful change to improve customer experience, but not something that they would make a big deal out of.

sanguinepar , to Ask Lemmy in What song should I play for my bathroom neighbors?
@sanguinepar@lemmy.world avatar

After MMM, waterboarding should be a doddle if it ever comes to that.

sanguinepar , to Ask Lemmy in What "I was there!" stories are you impatient to brag about to the next generations?
@sanguinepar@lemmy.world avatar

I was still up for Portillo, back in 1997.

What an amazing night. I had never known anything but Conservative government, so to see those corrupt, selfish bastards swept away was absolutely joyous in a way that's hard to fully capture in words.

Obviously the Blair government eventually completely fucked things up with Iraq, but at the time it felt like genuine liberation after years and years of sleaze and hatred.

And IMO things genuinely did change for the better in the UK with the Blair government, whether or not you agreed with every policy they had. Then Sept 11 happened, and Iraq and Afghanistan, and the world started going inexorably to shit, and it's never really recovered.

I remember using Windows 3.1.

I'm so old.

Same, I always liked Vista, never understood what people had against it.

sanguinepar , to Ask Lemmy in Why do they say that the tyrannosaurus rex is a long ancient ancestor of modern day chickens?
@sanguinepar@lemmy.world avatar

Especially if the hominids happen to own a pet felid.
