  • There are groups that somehow care for one single bog or meadow but fail to see the bigger picture

    This is mainly what I was thinking about. People care a lot more about things local to them, rather than a railway which probably won't have any nearby stations.

  • From my experience, environmentalists don't like large construction projects of any kind.

    Edit: This comment is based on growing up with environmentalist parents who strongly dislike HS2.

  • What is the goto source for free-as-in-freedom information about growing plants and helpful diagnostics info?
  • trefle.io has data from various sources, though a lot of pages are rather empty.

  • Is the path "~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals" still used in Plasma 6.1 on Arch, or can I safely remove it?
  • On my system, it supposedly hasn't been modified since 2022, and hasn't been accessed since January. ~/.config/kdeglobals was modified today. You could just rename it to kdeglobals.bak and see what happens.

  • What's your favourite smartphone manufacturer and/or favourite smartphone?
  • Nexus 5X still going strong!

    (though it did need some hacking to keep it alive)

  • Which one is selected? The "Yes" option or the "No" option?
  • Sadly KDE is also trying out the "modern" style tabs in some places too:

    Screenshot of the top of the KDE keyboard system settings page, showing 3 large buttons which act as tabs

  • Which one is selected? The "Yes" option or the "No" option?
  • Right, that makes sense as well. What I was thinking is that the use of the accent colour shows which one is active, though it would probably be less confusing if this wasn't done with an outline. See the KDE version for example:

    Screenshot of the KDE screen sharing portal, showing "Screens" and "Windows" tabs, where the selected tab has a horizontal accent colour line above it.

    Regarding keyboard navigation, I could see this working similarly to radio buttons, where the tab key selects the entire tab group, and tabs need to be navigated using the arrow keys. In this case I think it makes sense to put the focus border around only the selected option, and having the focus border follow the selected option when arrow keys are used. If this is the case, I think swapping the current version does make sense.

  • Which one is selected? The "Yes" option or the "No" option?
  • If they did the exact opposite of this, I think it would look ok. If I was trying to fix this, I would probably just swap the styles of the selected and deselected states. Maybe it's a miscommunication between designers and implementers, causing the meanings to be swapped?

  • Increase and tweak options
  • I believe if you attach more than 4 images to a post, other mastodon servers will only show the first 4 images, and will not give any indication that the remaining images are missing.

  • Ignorance of how bad that sounds to us indicates very deep brainwashing
  • At least it's not as common as it used to be. You don't see many products advertised as "patented technology" or "patent pending" anymore.

  • What's the most fascinating structure or object you've been inside of?
  • Well... I've tried to find out just now. Most taller lighthouses are on small rocks in the sea. On some the lighthouse covers the entire rock. I have also discovered that there are potentially taller land-based lighthouses in the uk, this one just seems to be best at advertising it.

  • What's the most fascinating structure or object you've been inside of?
  • Inside the fresnel lens of a lighthouse. (The tallest land-based lighthouse in the UK)

  • Help: advice & tools for digital detox / minimalism?
  • I use LeechBlock NG. It has many different blocking options, including greyscale, or a countdown before the page loads.

  • Minetest 5.9.0 is here!
  • You can use command line arguments for minetest to bypass the built in menu. You could then re-implement all menu features yourself.

  • Minetest 5.9.0 is here!
  • It's gradually getting there. The settings redesign was introduced a few versions ago, and the online content menu redesign will hopefully land in the next version (and potentially replace the current content tab after that). I agree that the main menu redesign might be a while away though.

  • Minetest 5.9.0 is here!
  • I believe it is the implementation of the tick system in Mesecons (which VoxeLibre redstone is based on) that is the issue, and I agree it makes it nearly useless. It is absolutely an issue with the mod, not the engine, but would probably require a big rewrite of the mod to fix (not that I'm familiar with the actual implementation of mesecons).

  • Minetest 5.9.0 released!
  • The traditional one is Technic, but there is also a newish one Techage. Technic has many more compatible extension mods due to it's age.
