I can't find this anywhere. Is there also any way to check all the posts you've upvoted?

Ultimately, it would be really nice if we could get a history section of all posts viewed. I miss this from Boost.

Someone had asked this elsewhere but then deleted their own post and I don't know why! I was meaning to come back to it and read it, so rest assured that I won't delete this one as there were some really interesting stories of unconventional ways people landed their work.

TL;DR: I got headhunted after directly emailing dozens of people and pitching myself as an available, on-call substitute in my line of work, instead of submitting job applications traditionally.

As for me, I cold-pitched myself via Google Maps and other searches as an available substitute to those in my skilled trade (upon moving to a different region) in basically a 50-mile radius, and eventually word of my availability reached a large, overarching institution that connected me with an organization that had a full-time opening. It took me probably 4-5 months from the move to the job offer.

Edit: My story is actually a little more complicated than that, now that I recall th

This link was a really intriguing post entitled, "How did you get your job?" I was planning to read through some more of the comments (it got really popular quickly), but the author deleted the post for some reason!

I can't believe I slept on this title for so long given how it has a free demo. As a Slay the Spire fan who has also played Monster Train, Indies' Lies, Pirates Outlaws, Dawncaster, and a bit of Dicey Dungeons, I was utterly and immediately gripped. It is so well-done with a snappy, responsive UI and turn action, and it's just as excellent on mobile as it is on PC.

I feel it solves UI issues in, and has way more diversity relative to, other dice-builders like Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles (which was way too tedious in its die face-checking) and Circadian Dice (whose UI just seemed to be too small and similarly a little harder to work with). S&D's numerous hero classes and just how many branches they can randomly take in leveling-up between fights are staggering. It's also extremely efficiently programmed, using very few CPU resources (which you'd think should be standard for these kinds of games, but isn't necessarily).

Give the demo a shot! It's only content-limited, not time-limited.

Is it possible? Press-holding does nothing and the Share button only generates links or images.

Even though the polygons don't exactly merit much of a second look, I'm shocked by how smoothly it runs and just generally how well-implemented the engine is. Especially with the incredible diversity of the different factions, it sort of feels like a more relaxed but still tactical WarCraft 3-like RTS. You have gold, wood, stone, and a food quota to manage, but some factions function so differently; one sort of copies StarCraft's Zerg or Protoss in the way that it has existing units irreversibly upgrade and specialize in specific forms, and another summons some units on the fly instead of at a base building.

I also see that it's extremely moddable and some people tried to make sci-fi total conversions, but I unfortunately see none that have had any recent work (sci-fi's really my jam).

Has anyone else tried this cross-platform FOSS game? It's great!

One of my NY resolutions for 2025 is to ditch AutoHotkey for any cross-platform equivalents, and Espanso is one of them. However, an AHK script I heavily rely on is a modular address autocomplete (I refuse to store address data in the browser), which I just don't know how to replicate in Espanso. I know it can use Python, but I'm not well-versed enough in Python to figure out:

1. Storage of 2-3 addresses (and the selection of 1 of them):
   • Street Name
   • Line 2 (but only for certain addresses)
   • City
   • State
   • ZIP Code
   • 4-digit ZIP extension
   • Google Maps (or OpenStreetMap...) share URL
2. Send only the street name
3. Send everything with modular inclusion or exclusion of the ZIP extension and/or related URL as:
   • One line (comma-divided)
   • Separate lines for pre-city data and the URL
   • Simulate tab keystrokes to navigate through a webpage
     • Be able to account for whether the web form has a separate line fo

IrfanView has an extremely niche feature that literally no other image editor I've found, not even Photoshop, can do, called Remove/Insert strip. I literally use this regularly for work and have donated to the dev because of it, but would like to try to find something open-source that does this if possible.

Let's say you have an image which is comprised of 3 rows: ABC (there aren't literal rows with lines, but we could just say the top 33% of the image is A, the middle 33% is B, and the remainder is C).

IrfanView can crop out just B (or any similar interior portion) and have A and C touch each other, in a single menu click after you've selected the portion-to-delete. It can also do this as columns, if ABC were treated as vertical columns instead.

It can also inject X amount of pixels in either height or width at any specified location in the middle of the image of whatever color you specify. This is also powerful, as I sometimes have to replicate part

In Boost, many-column tables have a certaib minimum width and their own horizontal scrolling separate from the rest of the post.

When I hold on a word to start highlighting text, the delay appears to be longer than what I had set my phone to. I didn't know that an app can override this setting. Could it be set to follow it?

I've been recommended TNG, DS9, and Voyager, and have been told that the rest pale in comparison.

Thunder has been making me feel right at home relative to Reddit, personally! !thunder_app@lemmy.world

I would like a TrayTip that one of my scripts puts out to open the same, specific file when clicked, but I see nothing about this in the documentation.

While I'm at it, is there a way to change the height of the tray tip?
