In my opinion as an outsider (and one that uses a normal keyboard and doubles up on keys just like you do) many comments here are genuinely trying to be helpful. You’re asking for a layout that fits your current typing habits and based on their knowledge and experience they’re telling you that you might want to drop that habit instead. That’s advice and you’re not obligated to take it. It seems to me that you’re misinterpreting a lot of those comments as criticism.

You are saying that you use an extension to convert from WebP to PNG, right? PNG is a lossless file format. It’s compressed, but losslessly. Like zip is also lossless compression. You can remove information to make it more compressible and then it’s a lossy process, but that’s not because of PNG, but because of the specific workflow.

People sometimes volunteer to do that. It’s easy to get a grabber or poker and a high visibility vest, but sometimes people borrow those. I should add that it’s not as common throughout the Netherlands as it appears to be where you live, but yes, I’ve seen it too and I personally know someone who does the same from time to time.

It’s a graph from the Economist. I kind of get why you would do this to save space, but I wonder why they picked (Great) Britain and not the UK, which is a sovereign state. As much as the countries in it are different, they are not independent, as that would’ve meant that Scotland would still be in the EU.

Is there information available about the noise levels of the case? I only see noise levels mentioned for the active cooler.

That depends on what’s in his contract I think.

Average none, though 2.5 Gbps is getting more and more common and WiFi is catching up too. You could max out multiple slower devices at the same time without hitting the limit of your uplink. I don’t have a use case for that, so I’d only upgrade from my current 1 Gbps to higher speeds if the price is comparable. That doesn’t mean that others don’t have a use case for it.

They could, you know, show you new videos of the channels that you’ve subscribed to. That’s not based on your watch history and also something that you have subscribed to because you like the content. But of course that wouldn’t generate the same amount of ad revenue, so now you can choose between letting YouTube decide for you, or nothing, in an attempt to let you enable your watch history again.

Agreed. In the past you would pay for calling and text messages and data was often unlimited at the higher tiers, but since nobody pays extra for calling and texting anymore, they’re now charging for data. Luckily they can’t charge extra for EU roaming anymore.

Data caps on landlines is something that I haven’t seen for a very long time in my EU country. The last time I had a subscription with a data cap must have been with a 56k modem, if at all. Cable and DSL might have had fair use policies back in the day (or maybe they still do, who knows), but no hard cap. Or at least not that I can remember.

Internet nowadays is way too important to have data caps, especially at home. 5G should definitely be next. Differentiate in speed all you want, but ditch the caps.

I’ve checked and you can find it on the settings page in the general section. I’ve briefly tested it and it seems to do what it says, but of course it fully depends on comments and posts being correctly labeled. I suspect that many people don’t correctly label their posts and comments. I know I don’t.

Doesn’t Kbin filter based on your language preferences? And even then, English is used by non-native speakers (such as myself) as well, because it’s the language that most people understand and it allows you to speak to a much larger user base.

Well, all communities that people on your instance have subscribed to. But the comment your replied to didn’t say it wasn’t, right? They use it to discover new communities to subscribe to.
