Yeah, interacting with Lemmy content is pretty much the same as it is here

Good to know they are working on it.

Violating the integrity of the vote is never a valid strategy. Your personal views are not a good enough reason to take away the votes of others. You are one person, there are over 300 million people in a America. The views of one person do not invalidate the views of 300 million, and the same remains true even if a lot of people agree with that one person. Nobody is important enough for their views to be more important than a fair vote, especially not someone who thinks that they are.

Beautiful

Wether or not people care has nothing to do with how basic something is. Like yeah, most people don’t care if their browser fills in a whole url when they type in the address bar, but some people search for different but similar things often enough that a browser doing that makes it unusable. I am one such person. Also, if someone doesn’t care about their browser then they aren’t changing any settings in the first place, so putting a couple more basic options (that, I cannot stress enough, are already in the browser but have been hidden in a much less user friendly interface) has literally no effect on them, while making the experience much better for users who do want to change a couple settings. This is why most apps have a settings menu that actually contains the settings, not just privacy options and a link to the themes.

Are you implying that Lemmy, which is little more than a federated reddit clone, is “advanced”? The only difficult part about Lemmy itself is that making an account is a little awkward. Also, if you read the post you might see that I gave specific examples and they are VERY basic things.

Didn’t know Firefox had that, I’ll do that right now

That’s not at all what I’m saying. I’m not wanting minimal UI for everything, I’m wanting many of the options that are in about:config (such as the ones I mentioned in the original post) to be moved to the settings to make them more accessible, since a lot of basic functionality like toggling address bar autofill is relegated to about:config where the UI and discoverability is inadequate for such basic options.

I’m only in about:config because regular settings have been banished there for no reason and I need to access those settings. For advanced stuff about:config is perfect, what I’m saying is that a lot of stuff that should be in the regular settings is only found in about:config

I’m aware that about config has options for everything in the browser, but it is literally just a searchable config file. I’m not saying all of it needs to be in settings, but a lot of stuff from about:config should be. About:config is not good enough for those settings for the same reasons that manually editing the config file isn’t.

How exactly are the things I mentioned “advanced”? Most of about:config is advanced stuff, but a lot of things in there are not, and should be regular settings. Something like UI density or not autofilling is not advanced, and should be in the regular settings menu.

A lot of the stuff in about:config is definitely more developer/power user stuff, but there are also a lot of things in there (like the ones I mentioned) that should be in the settings.

I did find the answer, but I shouldn’t have had to. They could have easily done an “advanced” drop-down at the bottom of the page. The option are much less intuitive in about:config than they would be in the actual settings menu because they don’t have descriptions so there is enough ambiguity with some that I may accidentally enable the wrong thing and cause an issue. This is an unnecessary problem.

Will y’all please chill with the political stuff on communities that are not politics-focused? I’m sure there is a political memes community you could use so the rest of us have the option of seeing other stuff.

Were I presenting it as a definite fact yes, but I was presenting it as a possible thing that I was pretty sure had happened. Also, I know you weren’t talking about me with the edit I didn’t even look at it while typing my reply.

Edit: misspelled were as we’re, fixed it

Damn if only I acknowledged somehow that my memory was imperfect and I may be wrong, maybe by saying smth like “if I remember correctly”.

If I remember correctly uvalde was a trans person, but most of the time its just people using one good thing about themselves to justify being horrible. Think holier-than-thou type shit.

Yeah, would love to see him, Eric Weinstein, Terrence Howard, Eric dubay, James tour, and Billy Carlson stuck in a room that they can’t leave until they can prove one of their worldviews to be plausible. Would be the most entertaining thing ever watching them argue while pretending they agree with each other bc they have to pretend they are all thinking the same thing or their whole “mainstream academia” thing falls apart.

World’s most clueless man
