Every year for the last 40 years, France has built more homes per person than England. in c/europe@feddit.org
[–] dave@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago

I'm only on my phone and can't easily check the data behind this, but a very quick and dirty estimate of number of houses built per undeveloped acre between those 2 countries shows a different picture. Balancing land use has to be a factor, not just absolute number of people wanting houses. Is anyone talking about theoretical population models for different countries?

And even if you jump from higher up, it's the ground that does it, still not the Burj Khalifa.

I just erased my project in c/programmerhumor@lemmy.ml

I have been burnt by Dropbox in the past so now use Syncthing between my desktop, laptop, and a private remote server with file versioning turned on. Trivial to global ignore node_modules, and not giving data to a third party.

It's saved me on several occasions.

I'm almost more irritated by the use of two hyphens instead of a colon after the first definition. They just didn't give a shit really.

Thanks--it's not that warm here (uk) but been low 20's (Celsius) last couple of days so have had it out in the sun.

Been waiting until the top is dry and just a slight bit of dampness underneath (at the drainage holes). From what you said, sounds like erring on the side of drier is better?

If you take a finished product and gradually take away pieces, you can make a progression out of pretty much anything.

Unhappy Carmona microphylla (feddit.uk)
 

Hope it's ok to ask for help here... We've had this for a couple of years now, and apart from an aphid infestation a long time ago, it's been pretty good. But recently it's been looking very sad. Leaves are pale and veined, and drop easily. It's still (trying to) flower but definitely not right.

1 2

It's in a sunny position, and watered with rain water / general bonsai food. I had read it might be nitrogen deficiency, but the feed definitely contains that.

Any advice on what else we can do to improve things?

Planes fly because aerodynamics.

Helicopters fly because money.

Any type of glue is fine. Just stay away from the cardboard derivatives.

What do you do with the sole purpose of annoying people? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] dave@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago

You can find many discussions about that online, and it's basically a BE / AE thing. In BE, it's not correct, hence I'm annoyed a lot of the time.

I'd just like to thank you for writing "how big a deal" instead of the now ubiquitous "how big of a deal". That would have really annoyed me.

Another example of the scrolling glitch (feddit.uk)
 

This one was very repeatable. Scrolling past this post caused the feed to jump up pretty much all the time. I did get it to scroll normally on a few occasions, but not exactly sure what I did...

Shortcut for jump to comments (feddit.uk)
 

I normally have the 'jump to comments' button disabled, but every now and again I get a really long post like this one: https://feddit.uk/post/29027169

It would be great if JtC was available in some other way--like from the menu, press and hold on the post body, etc.

In fact, and this might be too much, but an option to collapse the post body in the same way as comments would be great--I think Apollo had this back in the good old days, as I've got muscle memory trying to do it :)

Duplicated post in main feed (feddit.uk)
 

Twice now I've seen a post duplicated in the main feed but where the second one opens a completely different post.

I captured a screen recording of it but it's too big to upload directly. Here's a screenshot--the second post opens something different...

Video zoom issues (feddit.uk)
 

The video in this post is showing the old zoom / rotation issues for me again. Haven't seen that for ages--don't know if it's the post or the video itself...

Is there anything that can be done about text post flickering on opening? (feddit.uk)
 

Hopefully this is known about as it's hard to describe, but in the main feed I see text post previews in a mid-grey colour, and when opening them I see the full text momentarily in that colour (also with no paragraph spacing), and then it seems the style is applied and the text 'flickers'. Mostly just once, so it's not too bad, but sometimes it flickers back and forth causing quite a visual glitch.

Let me know if this is news and I'll try to record it happening.

Cross-posted video doesn’t play (feddit.uk)
 

I don't know if this is a Lemmy / instance issue, or Arctic, but I noticed that the video in this post opens as a still image instead of a video. Clicking through onto the original post plays fine.

Comment actions from popup don’t update state (feddit.uk)
 

If you touch & hold for the popup on a comment, you can upvote, downvote, save, etc. But it doesn't show the changes until you navigate away and back again.
