Thanks for all the hard work. I’m particularly enjoying the compact comments. I just realised there’s quicklook for images in comments, which is really handy. Is that likely the same implementation for the upcoming media viewer?
EDIT: on messing about further, it’s the same interface for post pictures as well. I like it!
For blocking YouTube ads, I cannot recommend Vinegar more. It’s a safari extension that replaces the default YouTube player with a standard HTML5 video tag. Which means all the functionality of iOS videos (PiP, backgrounding, scrubbing) and no ads.
Think of it this way: If there’s loads of implementations of an idea, it means there’ss already a market/need for it!
Non- tech: I’m a psychiatrist, generally working with offenders in hospital and prisons. The clinical work is always interesting, and im usually thankful for openness at which people spill their life stories to me.
Tech: I’ve kinda thought myself software development since I started working as a doctor. There’s just too much inefficiencies in the way we work clinically day-to-day due to the sheer amount of defensive practice inherent in the health system. Started off with personal tools to “assist” the electronic systems in place. But since then I’ve launched and maintained a number of digital clinical tools in a few local hospital which I’m pretty proud of.
Eating bitterness (吃苦） is a phrase that really brings me back to my time growing up in east Asia. However it seems older generations believing their offspring are too weak / spoilt to handle what they themselves have gone through appears to be a pretty universal thing.
Have a look at the communities in the instance infosec.pub.
I can almost smell the fresh bread through the picture. That cat is showing some mighty restraint…
One of the other elected monarch in practice today is the Pope, who is elected by the cardinals in Vatican City.
If you have a grill, try making rabbit satay. One of my favourite rabbit dishes when I visit south east Asia.
Very very cute. But up close it looks a bit like it’s on the verge of tears!
For the backend I used the ADO library to create a MSAccess DB on a shared network folder. Then it’s a matter of using VBA to generate SQL commands to same library to read / write records from the DB.
For the frontend, I use VBA to generate a HTML document from the fetched data. For the IE control in a user form, you can then write the HTML to it. During this process you can bind local VBA variables to any of the html elements in the page.
A common flow would be:
I also have VBScript to act as the launcher by copying the excel file to the local machine, and launching the local copy. This solves the concurrency issue.
I can really emphasise with Samir. Working in healthcare I’m basically limited to just the Office applications. However in the past few years I’ve been able to cook up solutions by reading / writing to file based databases, and using VBA to generate and bind to HTML contents on the fly for the built in IE11 instance. It’s as close to getting to some kind of web-stack within the confines of IT Sec in healthcare.
I wonder what the alternative names for the other classes of psychotropic medication would be.
Antipsychotics - sane-atives Anxiolytics - calmatives
Long cats are the best. Their stretch shows how comfortable they are around you.
It’s always reassuring to see them taking care of themselves!
i don’t have a solution yet for the media playback. Mainly because I don’t seem to have stumbled upon many gifs / videos on Lemmy yet.
However for the stale posts issue, I’ve found sorting by new or new comments seem to be the best way to get fresh posts. I’ve also put in a feature request for the hide read posts feature to the Wefwef dev. Hopefully they get a chance soon to consider it!
I think ultimately it depends on what your use case is. Comparing Apollo to any web version of Reddit, there were already a few use cases which were definitely superior in my view:
Ultimately, as with any tool, the best tool is the one you have on you.
I can definitely attest to this advice. Learning how to search for answers, and parse options builds a whole of confidence when you’re trying to solve something.
And nothing makes you search for answers more than having a problem to solve.
When this saga began, I didn’t think I’d be struggling with such a sense of disconnect with the loss of an app of all things. However, I do feel that Christian’s eulogy for Apollo helped, a gentle reminder to “smile because it happened”. Here’s to moving on.
I can confirm the extensions work well together.
