This is idiotic. No one compensates employees for their commute.

Yea, thats not true. Where I live any employer legally has to do it. They either pay a certain amount per kilometer (defined by law) or pay your public transportation fee. I rack in about 300€ of travel compensation every month which covers fuel costs. Having to pay to get to work seems to bizzare to me.

Also wait till you learn our lunch breaks are paid and on top of that the company has to either provide a meal or compensate you for that too...

Technically yes. Switched from software dev to QA at a different company. Worse pay, worse commute, 0 regrets. My current company asked me if I would want to work as a dev instead, nope, can't pay me enough to do that again.

Look at the screenshot I posted, it actually specifies "ctrl + g" for help.

Then you press ctrl+g for help and it tells you:

Shortcuts are written as follows: Control-key sequences are notated with a '^' and can be entered either by using the Ctrl key or pressing the Esc key twice.

:D

Actually TIL about pressing esc twice.

And the whole time you have nano open it shows you all the shortcuts how to save and close at the bottom, so no, closing nano is not harder.

Thank you for the update!

Added setting to change comment long press action

Any chance for a "do nothing" option there? I only ever do it by accident and not being able to turn it off is my only big issue with the app.

Oh yea, that makes sense. The Chrome ones get super super small I think right? Has been a very long time since I last used it. I personally like it the was FF does it because I can more easily tell what tab is what, but I can totally see how it you would dislike that.

Also good to know something like Sidebery exist.

Thanks for your answer :)

I am genuinely curious what is your issue with the tab bar? I got a long list of issues I have with FF (still my main browser anyways) but the tab bar is not one of them and I always have 20+ tabs open. Not saying your opinion is wrong, just trying to understand why you think so.

I might change my mind still since it has been only a few weeks since I switched to it but so far I am really happy with Arch. Been having a lot less issues than with Manjaro which was my go to before.

Ubuntu for servers tho.

Our .fyi predates the lemmy instance by a few months. The owner thought the domain was funny and bought it a while back, but had nothing to do with it so it just got used when we decided to get a lemmy instance up. So I assume at least some of them are random domains people already happened to own anyways.

But the main reason is the one people already mentioned and its because they are cheap.

.ml, .ee and .me are howevet not obscure. They are country TLDs (Mali, Estonia, Montenegro).

Honestly I can't give you a proper answer here. I never actually thought about it before so I just looked up the Slovenian law about it (I don't speak German so I didn't bother with the Austrian one) and I couldn't find anything that specifically says that the snow poles must/can't be there between XY dates (just a bunch of stuff about how they gotta be positioned). If I had to guess it is a mix of these things:

  • Aesthetics
  • Visibility
  • Giving the road workers something to do
  • It is how it has always been done. Before these combo bollards became a thing and in places they still haven't replaced the old ones they still add/remove a full on wooden snow pole next to the bollards every year.

There might be some other reasoning for it too, but this is what comes to mind as possible options.

I am a big fan of the Slovenian/Austrian combo snow pole+bollard. I think they are such a clever thing for places where it snows enough to cover the actual bollard and doesn't require workers to drag around a bunch of snow poles every winter, they just gotta pull them out.
