As scrolling to the bottom of the page to leave a comment can be a hassle on posts with lots of existing comments, an option to put the thread comment box above existing comments would be helpful.

If people are going to migrate to Kbin or Lemmy from Reddit, given the substantial downsides in doing so for the average Reddit user when comparing community user counts, minimizing differences — or at least giving users the option to do so themselves — might be helpful. While I wouldn't rejoin Reddit even if there weren't any alternatives, it would certainly be great if the alternatives had even a tenth the number of active communities Reddit still has.

To that effect, it would also helpful if there were a toggle to automatically upvote one's own posts and comments.

As I'm not a fan of the new Steam UI, I added the -vgui launch parameter to Steam on my laptop to revert the UI to how it was before. As trying to do this on the Steam Deck in desktop mode told me I didn't have sufficient permissions, I tried it again after using Konsole to take ownership of the Steam shortcut, however even then my attempts to add -vgui to the Arguments tab of the shortcut's properties are not being saved. Does anyone know how to make Steam launch with the old UI in desktop mode on the Steam Deck (without using Windows)?

Edit: Figured out how to do it. If you open the Steam shortcut (.desktop file) on the desktop in KWrite and go to Line 30, you'll find the shortcut's launch parameters. Adding -vgui to the end of that line and saving the edit fixed the issue despite the same modification made via the Properties window not doing so. If it still doesn't save, you might need need to take ownership of that shortcut file via Konsole using 'sudo chown deck:deck /home/deck/Desktop/steam.desktop', though try without the sudo command first.

As neither public nor easily-accessible private torrent trackers are actively seeding some of the releases on my list, I was wondering if usenet may have at least some of them. Before getting usenet indexer and provider subscriptions, however, I had several questions:

1. Is there a means to browse usenet content availability prior to subscribing to an indexing service as a means of determining whether or not enough releases from my list are available to make the effort worthwhile?

2. What is the optimal combination of usenet indexer/provider services and how worthwhile would waiting until Black Friday to get either service be?

Edit: Did a bit more research, deciding on Frugal Usenet as an initial usenet provider, NZBGet as a download client, and sourcing NZBs from NZB Finder after finding that it had more releases from my list than NZBPlanet or NZBGeek. Still haven't found most of the remaining releases from my list, however, so if there are better usenet providers or indexers than the ones I've tried so far, I'd be glad to try them!

Edit 2: In trying to figure out why my usenet files were getting stuck at 0.71 MB I decided to add a NewsDemon block account to the mix (with the well-hidden reddit50 code seemingly cutting the cost of any such plan in half). Don't think it made a difference, as the files ended up being repaired and extracted by NZBGet after a subsequent refresh, but hopefully the extra provider will come in useful with rarer releases, if I can find anything else.

Thanks for the help!
