With the old reddit design, you can create your own Multireddits. If you switch to old reddit (click username dropdown > "Visit Old Reddit"), and hover over the "Join" button on a subreddit, you should get a menu to c

Agreed. Also, with the redesign UI there is no way to manage your multireddits, making it a chore to curate content. I have to go to the old reddit version of the sub to add or subtract it from a multireddit.

One thing that I enjoy about Browning's videos is that he often will be proactive in helping victims. Sometimes he will catch scammers in the middle of scamming others and either call the victim to educate them about what is happening,

The article states: "Ethereum users can dictate the terms of their transactions, setting both the amount of ETH they want to send and the amount of fees they are willing to pay. The higher the fee, the thinking goes, the more likely th

It is really obnoxious when you first install it, but once you have set up your rules for your most frequently used applications, it isn't really an issue for me. You can also export and import your rules if you want to move them to a

Most people are hallucinating anytime they open their eyes. We have blind spots where the optic nerve goes through the retina. There is no optic information due to the lack of rods/cones there, so our brain interpolates that informatio

I had just brought this effect up in conversation at a party two nights ago and suddenly it is all over the internet again. It is nice read about the physics this time around.

I think this is true for general full-text searches, but hashtag searches should return toots from the whole federation.

by sprokolopolis 8y ago
Even though Mastodon is decentralized, the interface has a federated timeline that shows toots from all instances that the server federates with. I have found this to feel similar to a centralized, real-time stream of posts like Twitter. Th

I like the idea of this, but I wonder if it will have much impact on the worst offenders. The most frequent and annoying calls are almost always using spoofed numbers and many times originating from outside the country, like India. Is ther

It seems the larger plan will be to have tablet kiosks where you can either select your choices, or scan a QR code from your phone (with your pre-selected choices) and then your ballot selections are printed to the paper ballot. They have b

Yeah I feel like magazines sort of popularized this in that era. As a kid, I would send mail art in to some skate and gaming magazines that I read.

That is all good to hear! I look forward to seeing how the project evolves.

Hey, this is awesome! One major issue/annoyance with design and typography is organizing, sorting and sifting through an ever-expanding font collection. For the longest time I wanted a font manager that organized fonts by various tags&

Yes, in the example it looks like they are aligning the vertical stroke of the larger and small letterforms, but this isn't actually always the answer. The goal is to be optically aligned, rather than actually aligned and our brains&#x

I've had the same experience. Every time they deliver via Amazon's service, I have a poor experience. They arrive in unmarked vehicles, so people don't let them in buildings. I can never get in contact with them when there ar

I totally agree that the higher character limit contributes to better and deeper conversations. This was one thing excited my about Google+ when it first came out. People could write essays, explain long processes and they didn't have

For groups, people just tend to pin hashtags at this point. Glitch.social added a feature to pin a column from a search and it looks like most instances have added it now, too. Also, there are a some instances that tend to loosely target ce

You are spot on. My parents live in Houston and during a past hurricane they were told to evacuate. They made it 2 miles from their house in 6 hours. When Houston floods, there are often not many obvious routes to take with passable roads.

This is a cool concept. The one problem that I had, is that it is difficult to tell which cubes the numbers are paired with. I think that it would be more intuitive if the numbers were printed/etched into each face of the cubes (like d

This article focusses mainly on pairing by classification. Here are a few other things to consider when pairing fonts: X-height: This is the height of the lowercase "x" glyph. You will notice that there is an imaginary line around

This is a really neat concept that seems to be inspired by some of the mobile browsers out there. Flynx, Flyperlink and Link Bubble all use the (facebook-chathead-style) bubbles that sit over other apps and the UI. They are very convenient

As someone who is unilaterally deaf, this is very interesting to me. I hear fine in one ear, but am completely deaf in the other. People who hear in stereo seem to isolate particular sounds (like a voice) much easier from background noise w

The WhisperPush feature had some major issues. It really does seem like it could have been a support nightmare, especially considering how easy it is to just download TextSecure/Signal. Registering my device with WhisperPush in the pas

A normally electronic musician, Dan Deacon, has used some very complex player piano arrangements. When he recorded his album Bromst, they set up multiple MIDI player pianos to play the midi arrangements. What I found very interesting is tha
