Muun, in What's a button you hate tapping or clicking accidentally?

When I got my mouse, it was so sensitive that I couldn’t rest my pointer finger lest I accidentally click. Had to take the mouse apart and put some rubber pieces under it to reduce the sensitivity. Razer Deathadder V2. Works amazingly well after that mod.

Also I use the MessagEase keyboard on my phone and I’m constantly hitting spacebar when I meant to hit ‘E’.

I always hit the fucking emoji button instead of the number switch button, and I almost never use emojis but my brain doesn’t want me to change it

The share button on any porn site.

Mobiuthuselah, (edited ) in What's the most unique role model you've heard that was a green flag?

Nick Offerman.

Many know him as Ron Swanson from Parks & Rec, but that’s a character. He’s a dynamic actor, a hilarious comic, eloquent author, and an outstanding woodworker. I like his honesty and pragmaticism. I enjoy the way he brings his characters to life. His writing transports me in my mind. His woodworking is inspiring to me. His comedy makes me feel seen in this human experiment. I love his laugh; he clearly likes to be goofy, much like myself. He came through my town on his American Ham comedy tour and that’s when I got a real feel for who he is as a person. He loves his wife enthusiastically. He’s a connoisseur, whether it’s words, whisk(e)y, wood, what-have-you. He’s inclusive; understanding that we’re all just individuals living our lives and wanting to do our best. You’ll find a wide swath of genders working and managing his woodshop which means a lot to me as a woodworker because it’s often a male dominated industry. I’m white, cis, male, and shoot, even southern (Appalachian) American, but I staunchly believe in accessibility and inclusiveness. The more I learn about Nick, the more I like the guy, and I’ve learned a good deal about him. I’ve had this dream for a while about reaching out to see if he’d want to go paddling with me down the oldest river in North America which starts in my area, but I’m just some guy, and he’s probably pretty busy.

YungOnions,

Why not contact him anyway? The worst that can happen is that he says no. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take, as they say…

detalferous, (edited ) in What's the best response to someone who believes in hard determinism but also uses this to deny responsibility for any immoral actions they commit?

Tell them they should have factored the consequences into their predetermined behavior.

They should also understand why consistent enforcement is necessary to prevent others from making the same preordained decision.

Even if the choice is only illusory, it’s indistinguishable from free will in every other respect… So we will treat it as such

PlogLod,

“Even if the choice is only illusory, it’s indistinguishable from free will in every other respect… So we will treat it as such”

I like that!

I would guess it is how each developer choose to implement it. Markdown is really just simple text. Usually apps are enriching it based on that, but each can implement it differently. Obsidian.md is how I like my Markdown to look. But it’s not a Lemmy app. I think they use front-matter or something

    “That” and “green flag” in this instance are implicitly referring to the act of having a particular person as a role model, not the role model itself.

    English is stupid.

    Reserve your ire for the abuse heaped upon “unique”, fellow pedant.

    Unique means one-of-a-kind. I die a little more inside every time I see someone slaughter it with “very unique” or “most unique”.

    Markdown is supposed to be readable without rich text formatting.

    There’s no one way of displaying markdown as long as the semantic structure is respected. Dashes, hyphens, circles or dots. Don’t matter as long as it’s an unordered bulleted list and the correct hierarchy and sequence is followed for each block of text. Similarly the indentation of all those things is irrelevant and to the taste of the reader’s implementation.

    You don’t indent text in markdown to signal formatting. You indent text in markdown to signal a code block. To signal other semantic structures you use other plaintext markers.

    Read the original definition of the format to understand which are they. The purpose of markdown is to write the same general and commonly used mark-up elements used in HTML (paragraph, links, references, lists, tables and emphasis, amongst many others) with plaintext, in a less verbose and more human friendly way. And just like HTML, the formatting is supposed to be separate. With CSS or such other techniques. As a result, the formatting is free to change while the underlying structure and meaning of text stays the same.

    amio, in What's a button you hate tapping or clicking accidentally?

    You'd think the chance of accidentally clicking Close on a browser tab would be fairly low, right? Not low enough.

    I've also forgotten which application had focus and terminated it, which is a great way to feel like a fucking idiot.

    PrincePew,

    Undo closed tab is Ctrl + Shift + T in most browsers!

    amio,

    Doesn't always prevent Consequences - youtube is hilariously bad at remembering where you actually were in a video, for example.

    Ctrl + Q (close window) in my browser instead of Ctrl + W (close tab)

    Similarly, Ctrl + R when Discord has focus (when I thought Firefox was focused instead).

    Nuclear missile launch button. Luckily it has a cover you have to pull first! Haha.

    tallwookie, in Who's going to pay for the reconstruction of Gaza

    oh Israel will do it. there’s probably enough space there for 5 or 6 settlements. over time it will grow, organically, into a thriving city full of happy and productive citizens, far from the den of squalor and poverty that it is now.

    tallwookie, in How is your part of the world doing?

    cant speak for the greater country but my part of it is pretty good though not so much for me personally. America, PNW.

    there’s a lot more jobs here - mid 1980s was when the tech boom hit our area, but real estate prices are very high as well, ~$600k for the area, ~$800k for where I live. it’s basically unaffordable to live here unless you make 6 figures - anything less than that is struggling.

    I’m working on a van build so I can move to a more favorable state as I do not make anywhere near 6 figures. got about $40k in it now and probably another $25k to go, roughly.

    BrianTheeBiscuiteer, in What's a button you hate tapping or clicking accidentally?

    I’ve hit the spacebar in Baldurs Gate 3 during combat (ends the current turn) way too many times.

    zeroxmr, in How is your part of the world doing?

    Too young to know definitely, but America has lots of room for improvement. Least freedom for everyone I’ve ever witnessed rn
