its a vaguely progressive/leftist former shitposting subreddit with a very large lgbtq+ and ally prescence. the only rule is that you have to post before leaving browsing it. a sort of unofficial rule is that every post must have 'rule' in it. As for the name, no clue.

just looked it up, apparently the community used to be r/195 but it got shut down and then it became r/196. i could find signifigantly less about why r/195 had its same, all i found was this one post saying it was someone's apartment number, so essentially its basically random.

IMO voting definitely had its uses, having a guage of whether people do/dont like stuff can be nice. and for seeing content, there are multiple different feed types, i assume only the top sorting is the only one to exclusively use votes, idk how hot/active work but it seems like active cares more about comments and overall interaction and hot is more about votes?

and using the contrast checker thing, it jumps up to almost a 10 just by changing to black. https://coolors.co/contrast-checker/000000-65c466

my highschool robotics club :)

we had a printer in our CAD area that we would just plug into whichever PC needed to print. it was pretty jank but worked, and that not the kind of thing worth spending money/effort on.

why not? is there a time limit on how long after you post that you can edit?

@remindme@mstdn.social 2 hours

lets see if that works?

is google a part of the actual development on firefox tho? It would only by distributed by google play on a google phone im pretty sure, on my laptop I downloaded and installed it directly from their website, and use ublock origin on both my computer and phone to limit tracking and ads. for me specifically google messing with youtube adblocking and such is less of an issue because my phone is mostly google anyways unfortunately, plus i have a youtube premium subscription becuase i dont think theres a way to block ads on the phone app and i also like youtube music.

Firefox is amazing! I use the regular version tho, any particular reasons that you use the fork?

Idk, never used RIF or Apollo myself but wefwef/voyager has the exact same ui apparently

Tbh the main reason I posted was because wefwef has basically the exact same UI as Apollo and was made by the same developer. Also apparently it's changing it's name to Voyager as I learned from other comments on this post

Yeah same here, I used the official app (disgusting I know) because I didn't mind it that much and also am on Android, but I really like wefwef/voyager. Only complaint is I don't particularly like the apple aesthetic but I've heard there will be an option to change that soon

Wefwef my beloved

Best crossover

May I introduce you to our Lord and Saviour wefwef.app

Windows 10 + linux mint dual booted on my desktop which is my current main, but I have windows 11 on my laptop that will become my main computer because college. Unfortunately windows 11 is required, i dont even know if stuff like solidworks that i will have to use would run on linux. I am also just more used to windows in general

I wonder if making a separate bug-reporting place and having some people sort them to lessen the load might be helpful. Im a very newbie programmer and know nothing in rust but still want to help out, and sorting through bugreports seems like something that might be helpful, and need minimal rust experience, just sorting individual requests into piles of same problems to lessen the sorting needing to be done by those who can actually work on fixing the bugs.

yeah the thing about body and personality problems in men is that it is much more driven by other men and not as much by what women actually want. it is still very much an issue, just different than how similar problems in women are usually characterized.

yeah was gonna say old TVs had a whole bunch of X-rays or wahtever in them that made the screen work lol

you can absolutely look around, if you couldnt it wouldnt feel as real as real as it does. most of your regular field of view works as normal, for the most part you just use your eyes and head completely normally. it is a lot harder to look at things close up properly, not sure if its from problems with how its displayed or the screen or what though, its just my personal experience.
