Blue was actually the one I found first. Although

Spoilers"Plate" was one I initially considered for blue, because I was thinking about the platters on hard drives. It was actually plate and cloud that made me first start thinking along those lines.

which can break progressive video streaming and even basic image loading in strange ways

Is this what's caused the problem we sometimes have with image loading?

IMO a "simple browser" of this sort should display literally only the content in the HTML file itself. It shouldn't even view CSS stored in a separate local CSS file, let alone reach out to the web to download more content.

I'm pretty sure Reddit had post saving before 6 years ago? But idk, I never used it very much.

If people want to use saving in that way, that's great. But personally, I use the save feature generally for things that are so great I want to be able to come back to them indefinitely. It's not a temporary queue, which is how I use my open tabs, or why I would want to be able to get notifications for a reply that was not to my own comment.

In Sync, when you see your comment, does it create a link you can click to go to murd0x's profile? If so, nice! Sync is doing the right thing in this context. I know already that Jerboa, the app from the main Lemmy devs, does this correctly.

But lemmy-ui, the interface you'll see on most instances if you open it up in your web browser, that is not clickable, but the /u/username is clickable. It's an obvious bug/shortcoming in lemmy-ui.

Hey, I just discovered this and discovered that you seem to be the developer of it.

It seems to be broken in at least two ways, and doing some very unexpected (at least insomuch as it attempts to replicate RES behaviour, and also IMO how I would expect it to behave) things with alternative keyboard layouts.

Broken: upvoting posts. If I have a post selected and press "a", it takes me to the post in the poster's instance, the same as clicking the little fediverse logo. If I press "z", it upvotes. Voting works fine on comments with a = upvote, z = downvote.

"Disable arrow key scrolling" also seems to disable the use of arrow keys inside of a text box.

Keyboard layouts: in short, you seem to be using event.code, which detects which physical hardware key is depressed, instead of event.key, which detects the character that was typed. It means that if I want to move forward and backward, I have to press the key I would normally expect to type h/t.

To be clear: this is not wrong necessarily. It's actually sort of my preferred way for video games to do things, so I can type the keys in the space that WASD are and move around, for example. But as my personal preference, and my experience of how most browser extensions do things (including RES), this is not how I'd prefer it to be done.

I use Dvorak, which by coincidence keeps a and m in the same places as QWERTY (as well as the number keys), but moves everything else around to be more efficient and ergonomic. It also has the benefit of putting j and k where QWERTY has c and v, allowing for convenient one-handed use of the "next" and "previous" comment buttons along with upvoting, while keeping the right hand on the mouse for scrolling. And I could easily reach to the numpad enter key with my mouse hand to collapse a section (side note: using event.code means only the main enter key works. Using event.key, both enter keys are Enter). QWERTY requires two hands on the keyboard.

Screenshot showing the Dvorak home row, the enter key, and the numpad enter key, results after executing a keydown event listener for console.log(${event.code}, ${event.key})

He is shunned among liberal gun nuts like me

Sorry, but, umm...you are aware that "gun nut" is not a compliment, right? Nor a neutral term. It's pretty directly an insult towards people who oppose common sense gun regulation à la Australia. Because they are "nuts", meaning crazy.

Wait, I just realised that what I posted...isn't an actual image. It ends in .svg, but it isn't an svg file. This is, and it has no brackets:

To test how URL escaping works, here's a different (non-image) link with brackets in it.

I had not. I had no idea that even existed, thanks!

Do they have a Lemmy community for feedback? It's super buggy right now unfortunately, with "a" taking me to the post on the poster's instance, instead of upvoting (or at least taking me to the post on my instance...), and with all keyboard shortcuts handling alternative keyboard layouts in what I would consider to be the wrong way (though this is possibly debatable/up to preference).

Not from me, copy/pasted from somewhere else:

All the modelling now predicts that cyclone Alfred will cross the coast more or less over Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast at the end of this week and it will still be a cyclone when it crosses. Please prepare now.

Expect the following (in order of likelihood):

  1. High winds, especially in bursts - from all compass points and shifting fast.
  2. Heavy rain.
  3. Fallen trees (from 1 and a bit of 2).
  4. Power failures.
  5. Blocked roads.
  6. Localised flooding.
  7. More general flooding (e.g. Brisbane River, Kedron Brook etc)

Decide now where you want to be between Wednesday and Saturday and plan that you may be entirely unable to leave that location between those days. Don't try anything if the weather seems to improve - bad weather will come in bursts and the eye (if we get it) can be lovely, calm and sunny!

Please prepare in the following ways:

  1. Choose where you're going to be from Wednesday to Saturday and plan to stay there. Get any medications, food etc now. Without power you need to keep your fridge as cool as possible. Keep extra ice blocks in the freezer.
  2. Secure anything that could be shifted by over 100km of wind - that includes pot plants, garden implements, trampolines , garden furniture, pool maintenance clients -anything movable outside. Think "would this move if hit by a car?" If yes, think about how to secure it.
  3. Make sure your vehicles are in a place safe from: wind, falling trees, flying debris, preferably in a garage or as close as possible to a building. Do this by Tuesday evening at the latest.
  4. Prepare for lack of power - charge power banks and phones, have easy to eat pantry-based food supplies that can be prepped without power. You might need to leave your fridge closed until power is restored. Fill water containers for drinking water jic. Buy candles, matches, torch batteries etc.
  5. Look up how to contact SES etc. Write down those numbers in non-electronic form. Your home Internet connection will be out if power is out.
  6. Battery powered old fashioned AM/FM radio is good. With full batteries plus spares, of course.
  7. If you need some sandbags to protect your house from flooding, look up you local SES now and pay them a visit. Help filling some bags before you take some, it's all a team effort!

When the cyclone arrives:

  1. Stay inside unless it's life threatening to stay.
  2. Don't trust apparent breaks in the weather. Stay put. The eye of the storm is very deceptively calm.
  3. Open your windows a tiny bit, even if there's pounding rain. The windows can burst from pressure changes.
  4. If you see the open windows flexing anyway, draw the curtains to catch flying glass if they break.
  5. Prioritise your own safety, and that of those around you, above everything else! If you're asked to go in to work, say no if it's not safe.
  6. Don't play on your phone, conserve its battery. Disable apps and notifications that are not relevant to this event.

Be safe, everyone.
