@Gargron Please can we have a way to turn off the overlays (Alt etc) on images.

On mobile they always get in the way of reading textual images and are extremely annoying.

Also on mobile the new notifications layout is good but for some reason clicking on the (double) tick now, to clear them, hardly ever works. (Brave on Android.)

Why a double tick?

@arstechnica pah, #Thunderbirds were doing this in the sixties.

@wim_v12e I watch #iPlayer #TV #streaming to my laptop.

Every. Single. Time. I start watching a programme I have to reset the video quality from high to low. I honestly don't notice the difference except on high it frequently complains about my mobile 4G bandwidth.

What a waste of energy & bandwidth that the #BBC force this every single time.

Same for shrinking credits/autoplay next episode. I never want that. It irritates me, interrupts my reflecting or reading credits.

@alcinnz GitHub's killer feature is issues. Its social aspects are useful but secondary and there are good alternatives to that aspect [glances at the Mastodon logo!].

My problem with GH alternatives has been reliance on servers/services. That's the big drawback with GitHub and alternatives. git is decentralised, but we end up on servers because it's clunky and a UX pain in the ***.

So I made a proof of concept p2p git that includes that killer feature: issues. https://github.com/happybeing

@slothrop ahem, "burning the advertising industry to the ground..."

Advertising doesn't suddenly become evil because it's online.

@slothrop compare your words to my quoted text. Guess I could have said it more clearly!
