In Australia it won't save card details. And it can't natively create app shortcuts for things like Gmail, keep, whatsapp etc.

I put up with it but it's a pain compared to chrome and edge.

I've only got a Compaq one.

Ok. Who was the watery bint this time?

Is that a swingline stapler?

Insurance change?

 

When scrolling all it's common to see the same article posted several times, each from a different community and most with zero comments.

Is there an app that will recognise the post URLs, show that post only once in the scroll but display all the comments, perhaps with each having the community name prepended?

I usually only read the comments so there's a lot of useless scrolling if skipping zero comment posts.

Alternatively, a filter that only shows posts with comments.

The triple diamond Mitsubishi logo is missing.

Perhaps "The Missing Postman" - not sure if it actually got canned or is just unknown though.

Was it used by fax machines?

Maybe you can write one based on a YouTube channel. There are many train videos there from people who love train travel like yourself.

 

Well it's not an overly inspiring photo, but then what white good is?

Purchased some time before 2000 this fridge survived a move from the outback to the city on the back of a cattle truck, along with cattle, a Simpson top loader and many other household effects.

In March 2022 it decided to stop cooling. I was away so the missus bought an Inalto fridge - quite similar to that red one that drove Technology Connections mental.

When I got back I took the old fridge apart to see if it was the thermostat that was sick. The tip had rusted off, letting out the gas that operates the bellows in the thermostat, so ordered and fitted a new one. Success. Kept it in the shed just in case.

Now the Inalto struggles to get below 11°C, so have dragged the Kelvinator out of storage and it's back to full time duty again.

As for the Inalto, it's freezing up at the top corner of the unit and only drawing 30 watts. Will do some research, but suspect it's not fixable. At under three years old, that's an exceptionally short life.

 

Chrome and Edge make it simple to 'install' pages, so they're easy to pin to the task bar. PWAs for Firefox gives that capability to Firefox, but it's a bit brittle, and breaks easily if Firefox updates. It's broken again for me tonight and the usual 'reinstall this reinstall that' hasn't fixed it.

In my opinion Firefox took a significant backwards step when they killed that feature years ago.

I appreciate I might not be the target audience for Lemmy since I'm half Windows half Unix, and a Gmail / Keep / Calendar / Facebook / Messenger user.

 
 

By default I tend to see a lot of German and Greek posts in amongst the English ones.

It might be nice to have an option where the app can translate these in the default view, either on demand or automatically. (perhaps cached on the server to save CPU time?)

Even if it's just the post title, that could be interesting.

 

Found in a shopping mall in Armidale, Australia.

 

Johnny Castaway is in a strange world!

For some reason the screen is not resetting between scenes, giving him an unusually busy world. It's running 24/7 on XP but it's a 16 bit app.

Day and night he runs around on top of the fish tank.

Maybe one of the coconuts was bad...

 

She actually has four legs but tends to sit on one.
