  • can’t recall if it’s out of the box or if I configured that

    That's out of the box. No configuration necessary. The default behaviour in Plasma when pressing the Windows key is to open the application menu where you can start typing to find what you want. In fact it's kind of a pain to disable that, and will sometimes re-enable itself randomly as I recently found out (I prefer WIN+D to open the app menu from my i3 days, and I work in an RDP connection to a windows machine where I would prefer to be able to just press WIN to open that menu and not KDEs menu.)

  • What's worse is that YouTube sometimes doesn't do that, i.e. when you hit back it shows the same list from the cache or something. It gives you hope and makes it worse on those occasions when it does fully refresh on back.

  • I can't really explain it. I was as surprised as anyone when I realized I can't remember the last time I saw a mosquito.

    It's Calgary, Canada. The climate is fairly arid, but there are definitely mosquitos in the area. I just haven't seen one in a long time, despite being outside for at least a couple of hours every day.

    I suspect if I walked along the river more I'd see some though.

  • Most people have only vague memories before they're 5 or 6, so that's not so uncommon. I, an elder millennial, have lots of memories from before I was 6, but only because I have a big life event that happened when I was 6 that marked a "before time" and "after time" allowing me to easily place memories before or after the age of 6. All of my memories from the "before time" are vague and hard to place at specific ages except for a specific few that I can place due to houses I lived in at the time and what my parents told me.

    I wouldn't say I wasn't self-aware in the "before time" but I definitely don't remember it as well as what came in the "after time". I'm sure that is what the above poster is referring to.

  • The Y2K issue was real, but a lot of people spent a lot of effort to fix it before it became a problem. The dire warnings were exaggerated, it was never going to end the world, but the problem really did exist and it really could have led to some pretty serious issues especially with financial institutions.

  • The sword fighting becomes way easier once you unlock some skills through training. The first time I played I didn't know about the training and it took me way longer than it should have to figure it out. Maybe you already know about that, but just in case you missed that like I did at first, thought I'd mention it.

    Spoilers Not Working in Sync

    Lemmy doesn't do spoilers the same way that Reddit does. Sync appears to still be using the reddit style of spoilers, i.e. !spoiler!<, however on the web-ui those are visible to users, and the spoilers that web users use in the editor which look like this:

     undefined
        
    ::: spoiler description
    spoiler goes here
    :::
    
      

    Aren't hidden in Sync. Consider this a PSA for users of Sync that may want to avoid spoilers or avoid spoiling others. Personally, I'd like to see !spoiler!< supported more widely on Lemmy, but in the meantime this should probably be addressed in Sync.
