I know. I was talking about making it default. As many newcomers won’t know about it’s existence first hand, and give up on it

Yes some call it tabbed menu. Others call it ribbon menu. It should be the default as many users nowadays are used to this UX paradigm

Why libre office hasn’t adopted the tabbed many bar yet is beyond me ! They are probably not gonna be sued by Microsoft. It is just a huge ux improvement and would ease the friction for new comers especially that everyone is used to using tabbed bar on every other software.

If you need to use software professionally or in a commercial product, then go commercial.

I have been trying to switch to using more open source lately. And I couldn’t notice how more than 90% of projects I Land on are abandonware . and the rest are so slowly moving you shouldn’t rely on the for anything where security matters.

Stick with Foss projects that have a non profit behind then or a strong community of devs behind them. With a leat dozens of commits a month.

Surprised a boring platform like LinkedIn has that many users.

Cheers. hopefully other apps will catch up a soon as the upgrade gets implemented across the lemmyverse

There used to be a time when you could watch Hulu without a subscription. Times change. Some other times loop.

Android studio is a very heavy peace of garbage! you need modern hardware to get somewhere.

Is there any coordination with The other fediverse projects (mainly mastodon) and mastodon client developpers to enhance the interoperability with each other.

for instance being able to flawlessly post to lemmy and get notified about replies to your mastodon instance in a more convenient and user friendly way. where mastodon and its clients recognizes that a reply is comming from a lemmy server and displays it in a threaded way.

• to stops showing every comment on posts made to community I follow as a separate post. it fills up the timeline. I know it’s something to work on from the mastodon side. but maybe there are things lemmy can help improve.

I hear what you are saying.

but did you ever consider how github could be a stop gate to many many tech illeterate people, who don’t know how to post an issue or report a bug using github, having to sign-up to website they might never use again, figure up how to fill-in the ever so eleborate issue forms, and have to activate 2FA everytime they want to comment on the issue weeks after it has been posted. that’s why you see many project subreddits are full with bug reports and help requests. its easiers for the commons.

Git technology is def a godsend for developpers but could also be a barrier to less techy people how don’t know how to report, or if it is a problem in the software or something they are doing wrong. that’s why I think we need to be more welcoming and less standoffish to people with less know how.

Maybe having a simple form on the project website that can mirror the bug reports to github is oneway to provide people with an easier solution to give feedback that they might not give otherwise.

the problem is not the email per se, as I have 2 or 3, but having to open up my email and retrieve the 2auth code each time I sign-in to github to post an issue. my browser is set to autodelete cookies when closed. that’s my petpeev. and unfortunaly most projects are hosted on github.

but in the day it was easier to report an issue straight on the devs websites; very fast and straight forward. times changes

ry to fix it yourself and then submit a Pull Request.

most software users cannot code.

I try to post issues on github , but because I always have to verify my sign-up using email 2auth. It grinds my gears that reporting bugs is becoming tedious.

I tried to open an account on codeberg.org to report a small issue, the website refused to let me sign-up with a temporary email (I understand they have to fight spam), I don’t like using my own email everywhere so its another disappointement on my list.

I lack in diplomacy I must confess !
