@kirby@MK2boogaloo I don't think it does: it's code — not some text with different styles that you might want to use a GUI text editor for. Terminal doesn't look any different than a GUI application using a monospaced font and should not be an issue 🤷🏿
@kirby@MK2boogaloo This one's really cool: https://micro-editor.github.io/ It's like pico-nano, without modes and unusual keyboard shortcuts, but has everything one might want in a text editor: syntax highlighting, color schemes, commenting out and indenting blocks of code… And it's single binary! If I didn't have Vim up and running on all of my computers with all my shit, I'd probably use it myself.
@dcc True, but it makes the text less accessible — I might not be in the mood for something long myself, even though I might agree with it in the end. When there's no limit, I often go for more spacious expressions and repeat myself — this can be eliminated with brief editing, but doing this for posts on a federated microblogging network seems like going into too much trouble. I was attempting to write something fun for my gemlog and decided to describe a fun thing that had just happened to me — which was installing a program and finding out that it works differently compared to what I was expecting — turned out that it was in fact a different utility that had an identical name. I ended up writing a three hundred word piece (!) only to realize that I'm not even remotely close to the punchline in that story — which could be summarized in one sentence. So I decided to stop halfway. I do have to exercise some moderation in this regard 😅
@p Yep, not hard to implement at all — that is why it's surprising there isn't any UI for it at all. What for? I don't know, but you can unmute accounts, right? Why not have it for threads. It's rather easy to mute it even by mistake — especially when using Bloat on a phone, just two millimeters lower and poof — it's gone, it's not in the replies, nowhere to find. And muting thread isn't what you do simply because you hate what it's about, sometimes you just get into mentions on the topic that you aren't interested in at the moment and you don't want it to litter the replies. I can always get to that table directly of course, but how would those without access to the DB do it? 🤔 Well, okay, they can sent a direct HTTP request… But how would they figure out thread's ID? Again — it's not a big deal, and yet I was genuinely surprised there is no UI for it. @Hyolobrika
@p@Hyolobrika Damn, I do need to enforce a character limit on this instance — I've made a reply on such a trivial topic a ~800 character post :marseyfacepalm:
@Tony@Dudebro@tyler Exactly — and when you want to blame the other guy for something, bringing out the fact that he looks different is the first thing that comes to mind, people like simple things — even if they are wrong. But we don't even have to theorize in layman's terms, I'm not making this up — there are plenty of researches into this, heterogeneous communities perform better economically. There are other good reasons for multiculturalism (or whatever), but economic performance was never one of them — this is just an outright false claim.
@Tony@Dudebro@tyler Stronger economic indicators? I'm not into your little racist thing, but this is total bullshit — and this was known long ago, plenty of researches.
@dcc@adiz Exactly — I think at this point most Europeans aren't ethnically very different. And yet everyone has their own distinct culture — so do Jews, they have their own religion for starters. I'm not in your little club so to me it's much less clear who the fuck Palestinians are — how are they different from other Arabs? Normally you can answer this question is answered with citizenship, not in this case as state of Palestine is relatively new development — which in fact has happened due to this conflict. If it's a state than it's highly dysfunctional — because it can't be even held accountable for what is happening in their territory. So to me Palestine is just land.
@MK2boogaloo Why would they do that? I use something called "Enhancer for YouTube" and don't see their design anyway — and I only do so to figure out the links for yt-dlp to download. And Nornies use their apps anyway — so what or whom for? :marseyshrug:
