I don’t think you can now. I really dislike the new three-dots menu, now it’s hidden a bunch of functionality behind the “More” submenu solely to give an overly large amount of space to other options.

btw for others, If you don’t see the “Secret Settings” section, you can enable it by tapping on the Firefox logo a few times (it’s in About Firefox).

I would like to see more finely-grained feedback than just “no”. Particularly as it forces the voter to justify why they’re downvoting.

Some posts/contents are bad because they’re spam, abusive, or against the rules, or in the wrong place - downvoting these is useful crowd-sourced moderation, particularly for things that don’t warrant a mod report.

Some are just indisputably wrong and it’s a useful signal that the poster is talking rubbish. Then there’s the grey area.

Sometimes it’s just that the poster’s opinion is unpopular, and people are downvoting to suppress views they disagree with - I think that’s not a good thing for a discussion and encourages echo chambers. I like the idea of one of the downvote options being “I disagree” and that basically not doing anything.

I believe Piefed let’s you restrict downvotes to people that are subscribers. I think that’s a good solution to idiots downvoting from all just because they’re not interested in or understanding the post and/or the community it’s in. I also wonder if people even understand that they’re not training an algorithm, just dragging people’s posts down.

Have you tried logging in again? I think Voyager doesn’t always know/tell you when your login’s expired.

And on Voyager (on Android) the 9s and the 1. that becomes 1000000000 are clipped so that only the last 2.5 digits are visible.

The fix is not obvious: you need to escape the . with a backslash (\.):

2000.

1000000000.

999999999.

I can’t believe I had to read so many comments before getting to one that mentioned The Big Lebowski. So rewatchable.

Waterworld

Which version though? Theatrical, ABC, Extended, Ulysses Cut or Ulysses Cut Revised Edition?

I’m still deciding how much I agree or disagree with this. It’s true that they do cite books which you often can’t read online, but adding information backed up by a paywalled proof feels a bit “trust me bro”. E.g. I could find/create a site with an impossibly large paywall and no-one would realistically able to check my sources.

You’re absolutely right, I’ll edit my comment. Thanks for the catch.

Disgraceful, old-fashioned actions from the unnamed diving certifiers insurer - and, as the major diving insurance company (based in Malta) is DAN World Insurance Group SP, it’s clear that DAN puts their reputation above child safety.

I would add that I’m not sure 30 days is “generous” given that 90 days is somewhat standard, but given that it took only two days for a lawyer’s threats to arrive that’s not too relevant.

No, although you might be able to translate using your phone, e.g. on my Android I can use the “scroll and translate” feature (I’m not sure if it’s sent to Google or if it’s done on your phone, so you might find the privacy implications a deal-breaker).

With ich_iel, I remember someone on Lemmy explaining that the German is translated from English in a very literal way, so it’s not at all idiomatic or even coherent German. Perhaps machine translation would cope with that just fine, or it might completely fail, but I think you’d lose what makes it funny.

I also sometimes use the Kagi summaries and it’s definitely been wrong before. One time I asked what the term was for something in badminton and it came up with a different badminton term. When I looked at the cited source, it was a multiple choice quiz with the wrong term being the first answer.

It’s reliable that I still use it, although more often to quickly identify which search results are worth reading.

Everyone knows ABC, but unfortunately, familiarity breeds contempt. XYZ are edgy, angular and never go home alone.
