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?

All the more unusual ones were taken.

No joy today. Had to look a couple of those up after the fact, and when the definition starts "In American English ...", it makes sense. :(

First time I've known all the categories in advance. Mixed up blue and green for order though :)

Not for me today :(Too americentric for me this time. Got the category terriers, but we don't have 'Rat' here and do have Blue Terriers (Kerry and Yorkshire), and so I failed with 'one away'. Also not really heard of what constitutes a 'mom' tattoo :/.

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.

Is that Otto at the controls?

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?

I'm using Arctic on iOS. I can't remember offhand which md library it uses but will check if it's been tweaked. I guess the real fix should be with the connections site in what they copy when you click 'share'.

Edit: of course that makes no sense, or it would be broken for everyone. Guess it's the iOS clipboard or app mangling what's copied. It's still early here :/

Subscript and spoilers:

Also just noticed that the very top post in a feed goes ‘dim’ as if it’s marked as read when scrolled off the top of the view, but then pull to refresh reloads it as unread. Opening the post to mark as read and then refreshing hides it as expected (I have hide read enabled).

 

At least, I consider this a bug… :). It seems the scroll out of view trigger fires no matter which direction you scroll, and I think it should be only when scrolling posts ‘up’ off the top of the view.

For example, scroll a post until you can just see the first line of its title then scroll it off the bottom again. It will be marked as read when in fact you’ve only seen a few pixels of it.

 

Apologies if this is old and I can’t find it. I’m making the move (somewhat reluctantly) from Memmy, as I think development has stopped there which is a shame. Arctic is the closest I could find, and has a couple of key features like mark read on scroll that I really like.

But I’d love to see the community name above the post—gives good context for how to treat what you read in the post title, etc. I find I’m having to scroll down first then back up to read the content.

I couldn’t see an option anywhere for that—is it possible?

 
 

Also, how can you be aged 16 and below? I know, not technically the software's fault, but still...

 
 
 
 

Here’s an example of an image with a margin that looks too big to me: https://lemmy.ml/post/1511545

 

Keyboard is showing as light in post title and dark in post body for some reason.
