I feel like being able to solve with no guessing is proof of a well-designed generator.

 

It seems impossible. This is as far as I am in one such puzzle. (Simom Tatham's Towers)

Thanks, maybe CanvasBlocker will be less breaking than JShelter. By the way, I recommend AdNauseam, which is a uBlock Origin fork that clicks the ads before hiding them (and without loading their results, so it takes no extra data) to confound advertisers with garbage data.

Not to burst your bubble, but upvotes may come from people just applauding your attempt to increase community here but who may not even play or like the game 😬🫣 I hope you do get some action, though! I am unavailable, personally.

@happeningtofry99158@lemmy.world This is what you want. I have also been using URLCheck which acts as an airlock and has been absolutely incredible. I wish there was a Windows equivalent to this thing.

I was briefly interested in this but the Steam reviews don't look good, sadly.

Ha, curve ball deflected!

Interesting. Any response to that last question? I thought those were bots all this time!

Fine, *could literally be.

Let me offer a spin on this: the point-&-click adventure Technobabylon, which is more a staggeringly creative and massive series of escape rooms, and not that much of an open world to explore and revisit.

Perceptibly, it has zero grinding and is to the point with what you've gotta do. It is one of the only point-&-click adventure games that I've beaten; I normally dislike the genre, which speaks volumes to how incredible it is.

Ironically, I couldn't get into Outer Wilds, myself; it sucks to get stuck.

Sable is on a giveaway this week by Epic Games. Use the free-&-open-source Heroic Games Launcher to play it without having to download their platform.

I got bored by FAR's puzzles and didn't finish it but I guess I should persist, huh?

 

My current script successfully deletes the first character in a string, unless that character is a newline (`n). Even trying to put m in front of (?) to attempt to make it multiline changes nothing:

Contents := RegExReplace(Contents, '(?)^.{0,1}')

Suppose the variable Contents is:

123
456

It'll delete 1, then 2, then 3 (if you call it 3 times), but then it will never make it past the line break and get stuck and won't reach 456. Any help would be appreciated! I'm a Regex newb, but I'm not glued to Regex by any means and would be happy to use any other function to be able to do this. I'm just hopefully trying to do it all in one line, though I will use two lines if it comes down to it.

 

For example, I just tried linking https://store.steampowered.com/franchise/kingdom and wanted to delete the tracker. (Edit: lol, somehow Lemmy or Summit auto-deleted it upon my submission; interesting. Anyway, pretend there was a ? and garbage after the word kingdom there.)

  1. When commenting, tap the URL insertion button
  2. Tap the clipboard icon

Expected result: text caret is at the end of the URL to make adjustments

Current result: text caret is still at the front

Also, it'd be cool, now that I think about it, to dynamically expand that tiny URL field to multi-line to see the whole thing at once instead to having to pan—and maybe the URL link text field, too.

Thanks!

 

I can't seem to find any such section.

 
  1. Search "summit"
  2. Filter for communities
  3. See that it gets sorted by your post-sorting method when you instead want Top of All Time, so sort for that manually
  4. Go here to !summit@lemmy.world
  5. Press the back button

Expected result: the search results should show what they were just showing a moment ago

Current result: the search results revert to whatever your account's default sorting method is

Way to make this a non-issue: add a separate sorting method when searching for communities versus other types of content

Thanks!

 

This appears to be the first post about it in the Lemmiverse (for this instance), so... here we go!

A frequent activity that my closest friend group likes to do is spectate on single-player games played by one person via screen-sharing (and we're mostly introverted so no Twitch for us lol; plus, that's Amazon's playground anyway). This is where Discord unfortunately reigns supreme: its screen-sharing is somehow absolutely fantastic and near-flawless.

I recently learned that Matrix has screen-sharing through this Discord age-verification article, which may be enough to finally make the push for my friends to consider Matrix; how is it in comparison? Does anyone here very frequently use it?

 

I'm part of programming.dev and I feel like starting a /c/volumeeating (to mirror /r/volumeeating wouldn't really make sense there, haha.

 

I've had no ISP-provided Internet access since Feb. 2023 or so and, while it's been a pain at times, I still haven't caved into returning to the evil monopoly that is Spectrum, so far, and probably won't for as long as I can't land a remote job. ~~ArrowDL, while not perfect, has been pretty good at download management for the most part in conjunction with mobile data-hotspotting.~~ Update: I'm now using AB Download Manager to mitigate download cancellations at the throttled speed.

 

When it comes to screenshooting ("screenshotting?"), I've never seen any tool even as remotely as capable as Summit; I think Thunder had some sort of system that builds it, but Summit appears to actually calculate the screen coordinates of content that displays on your device.

I never actually thought to press the button until now when I just tried it out of curiosity. Unbelievable!

 

For example, can FileAppend() be set to create something like %COMPUTERNAME%test.txt? I have no idea of what the code for this would be like, if so.

 

Can anyone help me figure this out?

I thought it was totally absent, which is why I went to ToolsCustomize and looked for it, but once I found where it would normally be put, it was apparently already checked! Yet I don't see it... I have no idea of what to do.

And no, it's not in the drop-down arrow by the "U," which is only more customization of the underline.
