@alyssa yeah you can just press+hold on the post!! much less risky imo
@alyssa i am usually pretty good at trying long presses but on buttons i expect presses to always activate the button not do something unrelated
apparently if you long press on the emoji it says who did the emoji but if you short press the emoji it submits a reaction so it requires living on the edge
@alyssa i would never ever try that experimentally because if it didn't work i would probably wind up doing an actual reaction on the post
@alyssa getting information should not have a failure state of making a publicly visible action
@alyssa ohhh
that is a bad ux
@platypus speaking of HQ, have you read https://www.inthelibrarywiththeleadpipe.org/2022/the-old-and-the-prudish/
@witchfynder_finder no but they might find it sexy watching you take it off
@witchfynder_finder also the reason why they are sexy as fuck
@witchfynder_finder nobody likes that one
@witchfynder_finder also there is ecphoneme but that’s probably worse
@witchfynder_finder programmers and typographers have shorter names but they all have other, more common meanings so nobody uses them in real life
re: computer programming question
@CobaltVelvet@octodon.social @noyovo@rage.love i don't think that's quite accurate; GitLab specifically advertises itself as a DevOps platform and has a large featureset specifically targeting DevOps that GitHub doesn't have; obviously they're both git repository solutions so there's a fair amount of overlap but GitHub is targeted at getting lots of people contributing to open source quickly (it is easy to get started with and use) whereas GitLab is targeted more at enterprise or professional use (much more complex and intimidating but also in many ways more powerful).
i can't speak for codeberg but the remaining platforms are primarily targeting self-hosting; you CAN self-host gitlab but it is unwieldy and difficult to do so just for personal use, whereas something like Gitea is very easy to get set up. correspondingly these platforms tend to be fairly simple with somewhat limited featuresets.
@aescling my girlfriend doesn't put commas in years or do you hate her for a different reason
