What a weird rule, do you know why it exists ?

Accessibility. A blind person (or someone who just can’t see that well, or who wants to read it at a different font and sizing level) has the opportunity to read this in text form with a screen reader or with adjusted view settings. But those don’t work with images (screen readers may if the image has alt text).

Ease of search. If someone wanted to find this post down the line, they are not able to search the actual text of the post because it’s an image.

Quality. In all honesty, what is gained by this post being an image instead of text? What is the visual element adding that couldn’t be accomplished with italics and bolding?

What should i have done to post this information then ?

Copy it and treat it as a quote in your written post (same place you put your source). You can add formatting to it if you want to emphasize parts.

Yes exactly, that’s how I think of my standing desk too (and I thought that was the whole point of them). You’re not actually standing at them, you’re supposed to move around. Standing for too long is uncomfy, so a standing desk makes you move around more as you start to feel less comfortable standing in one position.

Oh for real? I just got one and I never thought to get these types of things. I’ve heard of anti-fatigue mats, but what are these things called (just so I can look them up)?

I never “stand” at my standing desk, I’m always moving. Ngl, I thought the whole point of these desks was that standing for too long is uncomfortable, so you naturally move around more, take more breaks, and go for stretches.

Just installed it and woof, this is very good looking. I was waiting for K9 mail to get a few more updates before making it my daily driver, but this works really well already.

Also love an app with an FAQ that actually answers questions I’m thinking lol

Oh hey, fellow org user!

I’m in the same boat. I don’t do calendaring that much, but agenda is what I use when I’m time blocking tasks.

My main complaint is that I can’t get it to sync to my Google calendar. I have tried org-gcal but the gpg encryption never works for me so I just gave up. I would have liked it to have easier viewing on mobile, but that’s minor enough that I don’t care. Orgzly with notifications on lets me know when its time to do something anyway.

Coffee after I take my concerta makes me feel sleepy almost immediately. But I still enjoy the taste so I’ll still drink it. (I have yet to find a decaf coffee that tastes the same as caf, it’s weird.)

The rust compiler holds your hand, wraps you in blankets, makes you hot chocolate, kisses you on the forehead before it gently and politely points out what you did wrong and how you can solve it step-by-step. It would never think of something as heinous as swearing at you, shame on you for insulting my wife’s honour like this.

Mixing tabs and white spaces in 2024 is categorically a you problem lmao

I’m not saying that discord servers for support are a good solution – I think the problems with archiving and search alone should disqualify it as a support platform.

But forums have their own problems. I think it’s weird that forum advocates don’t seem to consider why it started to fade as a medium. Individual accounts for each forum, the need for active moderation of threads for relevancy, and practices that made for negative user experiences like rules against necroing are all valid reasons (among others) for why people moved away from forums. And I can’t think of a great way to prevent the “I need help!!” thread titles besides having moderators or approvals.

Knowledge management is hard, there’s a reason why library science is a master’s level degree lol

For what it’s worth, the reputation of the BrandonM comment on the Dropbox post is pretty overblown compared to what was actually written. The post highlighted some concerns that were legitimate in 2007. And the tone of the comments were supportive of dropbox – the poster acknowledged the feedback and offered use cases that still would lean towards Dropbox, and BrandonM responded that they made sense and wished them luck.

I actually didn’t get it for a second, so I do appreciate your title.
