garbagebagel, in What's your weird physical habit?

When I sit down to pee, I HAVE to rub my hands together before I release the pee. I started because I was cold one day and have never been able to stop. I hate it but it makes me feel so wrong if I don’t do it. I’ve always wondered if other people do it or if they just think I just like rubbing my hands in the stall like a weirdo.

thegreatgarbo,

K, I was waiting for a pee one. Women that have had children might know this from their OB/Gyn telling them this if they have problems starting peeing after pregnancy. When I pee I tickle my back at the base of my spine. There’s a nerve ending there that stimulates the bladder and amplifies the sensation of bladder relief a billion times. It’s addictive and I can’t stop! Please tell me I’m not alone.

Are there any tab group extensions that do it similarly to chrome, with collapsible groups in the tab bar?

Hillock,

I don't know how Chrome does it but there is Tree Style Tab that let's you group tabs and collapse them.

Chrome does it like this: https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/5ee7ac31-43bc-460a-b1ad-5400db7b41d2.png

It lets you join tabs into a group, where you can add tabs to the group, remove tabs, and expand and collapse groups all in the regular tab bar without any other menus.

elint,

I prefer Sidebery to Tree Style Tab. I’ve used both quite a bit, but I really like Sidebery’s snapshot option to save and reload snapshots of your session, either manually or on a schedule.

My friend pet the dash of his car every time the transmission hesitated. That spot of the dash swelled and popped up in that spot after a year or two because of the finger oils.

Bewarned that the mobile Firefox app is really not great.

  • I am a chronic tab-user (I have more than a hundred open right now. Yes I’m using pretty much all of them.) and 70% of the time when hitting the tab button it doesn’t actually scroll to the most recent tab. I have to tap it repeatedly to get to where I was.
  • The tab list is horribly wasteful when it comes to space and I see no way to change it.
  • Some sites also shit the bed completely when auto-filling from my password manager. Like full on freeze the browser or crash it entirely.
  • When an app opens Firefox in an embedded browser to get you to log in, it will pretty much never direct you back to the app after putting your information in. You have to tap the three dots and open it in the actual app for even a chance that it will properly redirect you.
  • For 2fa sometimes this doesn’t even work. I have to scan my 2fa key then quickly open it in the actual app through the menu before it finishes loading, otherwise it doesn’t redirect or gets stuck in a login loop. Fun.

The browser is fine overall, don’t get me wrong, there’s just some inconveniences that aren’t getting fixed.

Iceblade02,

This is usually more an issue of awful website design than anything else. 90% of issues I face in the FF app can be resolved by viewing the desktop site instead.

The redirect thing is definitely just Firefox being weird. It’s generally a basic redirect that triggers a return-to-app, and Firefox isn’t following the redirect properly

OceanSoap, in What's your weird physical habit?

When I’m lying in bed on my side, I move my feet against each other in little circular motions, like a figure 8, so that my heels and the big toe move around the arch.

I have no idea when it started and never realized I was doing it until my ex pointed it out to me one night in bed.

thegreatgarbo,

Oh My God. I do the same thing when I’m cozy in bed falling asleep! It’s so comforting!

TheDoctorDonna,

Are we making biscuits? I do it too lol.

I noticed an extra word and looked it up.

‘I Still Don’t Care About Cookies’ is a fork of ‘I Don’t Care About Cookies’. It’s not owned by Avast.

Rin, in Tech workers - what did your IT Security team do that made your life hell and had no practical benefit?

Mozilla products banned by IT because they had a vulnerability in a pervious version.

RantIt was so bullshit. I had Mozilla Firefox 115.1 installed, and Mozilla put out an advisory, like they do all the fucking time. Fujitsu made it out to be some huge huge unfixed bug the very next day in an email after the advisory was posted and the email chain basically said “yk, we should just remove all Firefox. It’s vulnerable so it must be removed.” I wouldn’t be mad if they decided that they didn’t want to have it be a managed app or that there was something (actually) wrong with it or literally anything else than the fact that they didn’t bother actually reading either fucking advisory and decided to nuke something I use daily.

Dicska,

Nah mate, they were completely right. What if you install an older version, and keep using it maliciously? Oh wait, now that you mention, I’m totally sure Edge had a similar problem at one point in the past. So refrain from using Edge, too. Or Explorer. And while we’re at it, it’s best to stay away from Chrome, as well. That had a similar vulnerability before, I’m sure. So let’s dish that, along with Opera, Safari, Maxthon and Netscape Navigator. Just use Lynx, it’s super lightweight!

EDIT: on another thought, you should just have stopped working for the above reason. Nothing is safe anymore.

Krudler,

Can’t use Lynx either.

All web pages must now be phoned in via a touch-tone system, and delivered on paper printouts via regular post.

PoolloverNathan,

Touch-tones had some sort of vulnerability too; you’re going to have to mail in your HTTP requests.

shalafi, in What's your weird physical habit?

I stand on my left foot when I’m holding still. Had a coworker ask me, “I don’t mean to be weird, but why do you stand like a girl?”

Had no idea what he meant, so he demonstrated. Yeah, I do the tippy-toe thing. (Girls do it to make their thighs look slimmer, same as they sit in chairs.)

Broke my femur in 4 places back in 2000. Still don’t want weight on that leg, hellish pain does that to you. I’m quite physically active, but standing still? Yeah, en pointe, like a ballerina.

cevn,

I do this too, but switch legs after a wile. Sometimes actually stand on one foot too, practice that balance.

KpntAutismus,

i rotate one of my feet inwards (something around 100°), so that the corresponding knee points at the other one, somehow that’s more comfortable.

jadedwench,

As someone who had to have a gastrocnemius recession, I feel your pain. The flex of your feet are controlled by the soleus when sitting and gastrocnemius when standing. To save you a horrific search, my tendons are too short and had to be lengthened.

I still go on my toes if I am trying to balance or the tendons aren’t quite warmed up yet in the morning. Standing with my heels down for long periods is still not comfortable, but I can at least walk around all day without collapsing. Not the same thing, but I get the being on your toes being comfortable.

klemptor, in What's your weird physical habit?

I smell everything. Dog’s noggin, the insides of books, my morning cup of tea. Everything gets a healthy whiff.

When I’m in the shower, I purse my lips and blow directly against the water coming down because it makes a nice sound.

When I’m reading, I rub the edges of the page I’m currently on super tightly between my thumb and index finger because I like the sound and the feeling. I also rub the tops of my nails when I’m wearing nail polish for the same reason.

Diprount_Tomato, in Fellow Lemmings, how to create Social Media that does not have mods?
@Diprount_Tomato@lemmy.world avatar

You create it and then realise how anarchism could never work when it gets banned for posting all kinds of illegal stuff

BigBlackCockroach,
@BigBlackCockroach@lemmy.world avatar

Anarchism doesn’t mean chaos or everybody vs everybody. Anarchism come from the greek word for without rulers. it basically means democracy rule by the people.

Anarchism is the organization of society without any one individual having concentrated power. basically people not giving their decision power away.

Detractors of anarchism have in the past century equated anarchism with chaos to discredit it.

Diprount_Tomato,
@Diprount_Tomato@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t care what the definition is. It only worked with primitive and small groups of people, it no longer has a place in society

BigBlackCockroach,
@BigBlackCockroach@lemmy.world avatar

It only worked with primitive and small groups of people

Through recursion any organizing principle that works for a small group can be extended to work on a group of any size. Example the military: 10 soldiers are a squad and lead by a seargant and ten such squads are lead in exactly the same way by a Leftenant. In turn 10 of these companies are then ran by a commander in the exact same fashion.

souperk, in Fellow Lemmings, how to create Social Media that does not have mods?
@souperk@reddthat.com avatar

I have seen communities where every member is a mod. In order to enter the community a vote takes hold that decides if you can be a member. The decision is usually based on a majority ruling, but veto power is granted to every member.

The idea is that you can find the community online since it’s public, petition for your membership presenting your argument and other social media accounts you have.

Then, members judge if you are going to be a suitable member of the community, if you are going to respect the rules of the community, and cast their votes. Often participation is low on votes, someone vouches for you and a few other people review your accounts to make sure you are not a threat.

Sometimes there is a probation period where you have some power like posting on the community but are not fully fledged mod. Other times you become a mod from the start.

Banning members sometimes is necessary, the process needs to be more strict, maybe set participation requirements and allow for enough time for anyone to cast their votes.

It’s important to keep in mind that allowing everyone to weigh in on decisions does mean they are going to, most people don’t have the context or the time to, but the community needs to remain functional. For these reasons, vote rulings need to be decided on participation and not body size.

Last but not least, my experience is that those communities are much more pleasant and productive to participate in. Not being doxxed on every comment you make, and people actually making an effort to understand your argument, is a game changer.

RizzRustbolt, in What's your weird physical habit?

If I put something down and it is slightly unbalanced, I’ll reposition it and then point my finger at it accusingly so it doesn’t fall over.

KpntAutismus,

i do something similar. that pretty much makes it normal.

daddyjones,
@daddyjones@lemmy.world avatar

I think I also do this. The pointing is more of a “stay” command, though.

Ejh3k, in What's your weird physical habit?

I always put on and tie my left shoe and then the right. Then I go in reverse when I take them off.

MrRazamataz,
@MrRazamataz@lemmy.razbot.xyz avatar

I wonder how much longer your left foot has had a shoe on compared to your right.

Ejh3k,

Never considered that. Probably a minute a day.

MrRazamataz,
@MrRazamataz@lemmy.razbot.xyz avatar

man that’s gotta add up!

Ejh3k,

I suppose, but it’s not as if that foot is doing anything other than be stationary.

My coffee machine gets a little “thank you”-pat whenever it is finished brewing my coffee. No idea why exactly I started doing it, but nowadays it feels wrong to not praise it a little before walking away.

geogle,
@geogle@lemmy.world avatar

This just feels right

KpntAutismus,

this is why everyone’s coffe machines break all the time! we need to praise them!
