It's ridiculous how lazy people are today - especially that with autocorrect, it's often harder to type the shortened version of something than to let it complete the thing for you.

Still trying to figure out why Germany is listed separately from the EU.

And even then, if you make sure to copy the actual file, you'd still depend on them to open it if it's in their proprietary format.

Left around the API drama times. I still visit, but haven't posted anything for two years.

My only regret is that I still haven't defaced my profile over there - I'm looking for ways to save my data and somehow link it to the original posts/comments, because besides the shitposting, I've posted some things that could be useful to myself too.

This has mostly to do with not leaving them everywhere, but if they're randomly left in the parking lot, some people will happily steal them. Plus this was in the same notion of not trusting people to do what's expected.

Wait until I tell you about the coin-operated shopping carts.

I know ~~my~~ I am, same thing here, but even when I do, if it's a bag previously bought from the same place, they usually want to verify. Maybe the system's watching for the store logo on the bag. Most likely they have cameras watching the self-service checkouts to make sure you don't do anything funky, i.e. weighing apples and selecting carrots on the screen.

Either that, or I have to wait for an employee myself for the stupidest reason, i.e. that I've brought a canvas bag that they have to verify I didn't steal.

Finite number of atoms as well, and yet scientists can split those too.

... then they cut one half of the remaining half.

I think I've never flown with that airline and this here makes it very likely that I never will.

... or maybe it's just that you have very rarely intentionally used "duck".

 

It'd be nice if Connect could have local (on device) history of what the user has opened previously.

I would sometimes read/see things that I would forget to upvote/save, and would then wonder what those things were - and since this isn't my browser, I can't just go to the history.

 

So here goes: several times it's happened that I'm writing a rather long post or comment, and maybe I need to switch apps to check something, or someone calls, or something like this; upon launching Connect again, if it happens to get killed by Android's memory management in the meantime, it only shows me the home page. If I manage to remember which post it was, the app would show the unfinished comment itself, which is useful, but I still need to be able to get to that post.

 

So... I think this is pretty self-explanatory - it would be nice if we could have the app follow the systemwide theme, but still customise how the light and dark themes look. An immediate example would be to be able to use a light theme during the day and the AMOLED theme during the night.

 

Hey. I've been using Connect for a couple of weeks now and I like it quite a lot. One thing I've been missing though is the ability to quickly subscribe to a community from an aggregated feed (like All); right now, to do so, I have to open the community and subscribe from there. Seeing that "Block Community" already exists in the context menu for a post, it's only logical to have "Subscribe" there as well. Maybe it's not needed that much in the long run, but it will definitely help me now as a Reddit refugee trying to rebuild my feed.

 

Me: ow.
