I use Foliate on desktop, generally pretty good.
But I do most of my reading with Librera on Android, though it has an annoying bug where switching to it with the app switchers glitches out.
You're right, my mind put his time leading Labour Together as Blue Labour. Doesn't help that the media only talks about Blue Labour in reference to the man, though there is apparently some cross pollination between the two groups:
[Blue Labour], which is reportedly working with Jonathan Ashworth’s think tank Labour Together, wants to see the Government shout louder about what it is doing to remove illegal immigrants, as well as invest more in northern England. Bassetlaw MP Jo White is said to be the group’s convenor.
Morgan McSweeney is unironically one of the biggest threats to British democracy and the longer Labour keeps him in the decision making, the closer to fascism this country will go.
Be careful with the Private Eye, they were big early pushers of Wakefield and the antivax movement.
You're not the first fedidev to experience this, Lemmy is just extra 💅:
While on a computer, text selection doesn’t typically summon a pop up, it’s needed in mobile because how else would you easily get to copy and paste? Everyone else would rage at the loss of the tooltip and any other interaction would be painfully hidden if it was delegated to a combo of pressing your lock buttons or volume buttons while highlighting text.
The complaint is specifically about desktop text selection though, the screenshot above says "i select text using my mouse". I agree that removing the pop-up UI from mobile would suck, well suck more than mobile text selection already does.
Quick edit: didn’t see the screenshot of the widget, might be the site you’re using, or browser? Also any adblocker add on should be able to hide those elements.
You're right, putting ##.quote-share-buttons in my uBlock filter list got rid of it. Still, blocking all these elements myself is really laborious.
/r/detrans
I checked it out and it seems like an absolute cesspool, so no 'discussions' like the what happens there aren't allowed.
In my experience, such communities and discussions very much do not toe the trans party line.
Here is a quote from the top post in that community today:
How long will we pretend they aren’t violent braindead porn-addicted narcissists who hate us because our existence challenges their narrative and provides a living experience for those ones who aren’t completely sure about transmuting themselves into fake males/females so that they can address what’s wrong with them and why they do feel so much distress about their bodies and biological sex?
Is it really any wonder why people not drowning in this trans-hating sludge would find this objectionable?
I don't even know what 'detrans discussions' means. As long as you don't just use the fact some people transition as a cudgel against the idea of medical transition, then I don't see why not.
Don't worry, I got you. Here's the alt-text:
@jk@mastodon.social on Mastodon: "note to ui designers. when i'm reading a long piece of text. i select text while i read it. I select text while i read it!. i select the text using my mouse. while i read the text i often select the text. when i select the text i just want to select the text. i don't want to perform actions on the text. i don't want a popup menu to appear when i select the text. i don't want to accidentally click on a Share link. i want to select text while i read it".
I'm complaining about pop-up widgets appearing when you select text, like the email icon here:
It’s very rare that holding alt while selecting text doesn’t resolve this issue.
But I'm not actually looking to select the text when I do this, I'm just stimming and the extra visual noise is annoying.
Shame, I can't help then as I haven't daily drove Windows since 2018, so, *checks date*, seven years ago, fuck.
Though apparently, you can install Linux GUI apps via WSL.
