Well fuck, I've been out-pedanted.

Well that too, but anyone enrolling in something called Trump University clearly lived under a rock, and wouldn't know that, or they wouldn't have even gotten that far.

There's no such thing as 'a Bigfoot'.

Bigfoot is a proper noun, if you saw him, you didn't see a bigfoot, you saw the Bigfoot. But more likely it was some lesser Sasquatch.

Edit: Does Lemmy's markdown not support superscript?

That's definitely going to be the overall average once you include about 4 hours of overtime

No, there definitely were. They were probably more related to conduct on campus, grading, and how to handle issues with professors, though.

Also, you didn't really need to read the terms and conditions to know Trump University was a scam; a quick Google would suffice

Ten meters would have been the obvious, decimeters aren't really used in my experience; either it's precise enough I'm measuring in mm, large enough I'm measuring in metres, or so imprecise that I'm eyeballing in inches and feet

an entire separate computer system we call a ‘console’

I get it; I even tend to like their consoles. The Switch is fantastic for what it is, when it came out (though admittedly: I am more likely to buy a Steam Deck than a Switch 2, at least as of now, not knowing the Switch 2's specs).

But either sell an x86 build, or get over emulators. Or develop a taste for my favourite cocktail, if you can't pick between the other two options

My guess was either regional or OS; I'm in Canada, running Android

100 decimeters

Why would you possibly choose that unit?

The difference isn't really that complicated; a flamethrower sprays flaming liquid, a blowtorch sprays flaming gas

If I'm injured and need a blood transfusion, where are paramedics most likely to go for the needle; is it the vein in my arm, same as for blood donation?

Wherever it is, if I get a tattoo noting my blood type, are you going to trust the tattoo and give me my blood type, or would you disregard it and go with O- just in case?

I'm getting some tattoo work done anyways, and I really like the idea of a Canadian Blood Services logo plus my blood type wherever paramedics would see it, but it's pointless if they won't believe it

 
 

When reading a web page within Connect, it would be nice if long-pressing on links in the webpage would give a popup with the option to open the link in an external browser (and probably also an option to just copy the link). I frequently find myself linked to Wikipedia from a Lemmy comment, and then want to open other links from that wiki page, so then I have to open the page I'm on externally and refind my spot in the article.

Having the same options when long-pressing a link in a comment/post would be nice as well.

 

Edit: there's already a setting for it, another user pointed it out. Ignore me :)

~~Currently, when you block an instance or community, it's blocked app-wide. I had blocked various NSFW communities and instances on my main account so that they don't show up in my All feed, but now I can't access them from my NSFW account unless I use a different app to do so, or repeatedly unblock and reblock them as needed.~~

~~Can we instead make block lists on a per-account basis (or have the option of account-associated or global blocking)?~~

 

The text when I try to type comments (but not the text in the search bar or, as I'm just now learning, here in the 'post body' text box) is white, and I can't find the setting to change it. Obviously I could change my background back to the default blue that it was, but that's the opposite of a solution.

Anybody know?
