There's no algorithm here*, so use the different sorting options (for both posts and comments), as well as setting your favourite as default once you see what works for you.

* the different sort options are of course algorithms, but I mean there's no automatic, manipulative system like YouTube's "The Algorithm", Facebook, TikTok, etc.

Voting doesn't tune your algorithm, so I'd say only use downvoting for things that are low quality, trolling, in the wrong sub, duplicate posts, etc. Your votes aren't private, by the way - although Lemmy itself doesn't display voters' names, that info is in every server's database, and some other software in the Fediverse does show them.

There are quite a few apps available, I like Voyager on Android and I stick to the default website on my computer.

I think scaled is better than hot otherwise you'll never see anything from your small communities.

Sometimes I get downvotes that make no sense, so I just chose to believe it was an accident.

But you're misrepresenting my argument.

Hardly, I'm directly addressing your statement that case insensitive is intuitive to users, grandmas or otherwise - I give examples where it's not initiative or obvious which filenames match. I didn't mention ease of implementation at all.

The principle of least surprise is an important UX consideration, and your idea of effectively introducing collation and localising which files conflict is just trading one problem for another set of problems and suprises (e.g. copying directories between drives with different settings).

Case insensitive is more intuitive

Are these the same filename?

  • ΑΓΑΘΉ.txt
  • αγαθή.txt

What about these?

  • MY-NOTES-ON-Δ.txt
  • μυ-notes-on-δ.txt

Databases have different case-insensitive collations - these control what letters are equivalent to each other. The fact that there's multiple options should tell you that there's no one-size-fits-all solution to case insensitivity.

This issue is only simple and obvious if you don't know enough about it.

It is a map, though, unlike OP's image!

Sad because the UK's quite small/unsunny and that means most other countries aren't doing much?

I thought that the UK was quite strong in wind, so it'd be interesting to see that charted.

[MIT] does not allow removing the original license and purport that the code was created by someone else.

Sounds like it wouldn't matter which licence he used. Shitty behaviour from Microsoft.

Not quite what you were asking for, but there is https://tomgroenwoldt.github.io/helix-shortcut-quiz/

It's quite good for letting you know about things you didn't know you could do, but sometimes it tells me I'm wrong because I'd do it a different way - e.g. I'd go to line 13 by :13 but it wants 13G.

Also, from within Helix you can do space ? to get the list of commands and any bindings they're on.

edit: also, FYI Helix and similar are modal, not modular (although there is a plugin system on the way).

I have Tasker running, and you can set it up to do this too. Between ntfy and Google's version I think I'm covered already!

Most of the manga I have is amateur translated stuff, so the metadata quality varies with release groups.

The graphic novels are generally retail releases, but sometimes I still want to edit to get rid of marketing words (e.g. the title might mention how it's now a Netflix series or something).
