Only kbin users are seeing what you see. It looks fine on other Lemmy instances.

Lemmy and kbin do weird things with code blocks. From the source, the post itself clearly only contained backticks. Lemmy sends out marked-up text. kbin escapes it.

Sprint sold off their 2G infrastructure before Y2K.

(you can disable it but you don’t get the space back)

This can certainly be annoying. But if you think about it from a UX perspective, what would happen if you could?

What happens if you disable it, use the space, and then enable it again?

Where does everything go that you placed there?

Does it just shift down? What if it can’t because of other content on the page? Do you just shift it to a new page? What if there is content in the way across multiple pages? Does that all get shifted to a jumbled mess on a new page?

What if you just didn’t let the user enable it again unless the space was cleared? Would that be too confusing for less capable users?

Sometimes UX designers do seemingly dumb things for very smart reasons.

Be not afraid

I switched once in college just because I could. But then I switched back when Windows 7 was released.

Then I switched again at work because our product ran on Ubuntu server, and I hate PuTTY with a passion, and it was just easier to manage Linux from Linux. But I switched back again when we were acquired by a larger company that required us to use more productivity tools that didn’t run well on Linux at the time and had to to “just work” (Skype for Business, Zoom, etc).

These days I spend most of the workday in WSL via Windows Terminal. At home I run a handful of Linux VMs atop an ESXi hypervisor installed on an old desktop. But when I’m not working, I generally just stay as far away from computers as possible.

I wonder what changed.

There is a link at the top of this page that will give you the answer.

Doesn’t that require USB 3.x? Some of the Pixels have been USB-C 2.0.

Probably also requires wiring up the correct lanes from the chipset and possibly even paying the manufacturer for that feature.
