Why are my live regions not working? by @patrick_h_lauke

'Live regions have a reputation for being "flaky" and inconsistent. While this can be attributed in part to shortcomings in current implementations, the problem can also be caused by developers misunderstanding how live regions are intended to work.'

Unfortunately, I was in the middle of a short editing session when the OSM outage (apparently due to a #DDoS) occurred. So I’m keeping my tab with iD and my pending changes open (hopefully not needing to rely on LocalStorage). I wish I had used #JOSM so I could save my session to a local file, but I was on a laptop without JOSM.

@josh When entering your credit card data did you see the message that a new browser window will be opened for the verification? Did you try to do this verification? Was there any kind of error message, possibly from your bank?

Users often tell us that verifying does work when they use a different browser. Please try to verify the card through Firefox, Chrome or any
Chromium-based web browser with all extensions deactivated.

in reply to Tuta

@josh Let us know if you are still unable to verify the card and we can provide further
assistance.

If you are doing this on mobile, could you please try the process on a desktop browser? The paid features will then also be available on the app.

GitHub now requires a fork of a repository (instead of just having it starred) to count contributions to a repository you are not part of

Problem solved, with snarky remarks!

I'm trying to recall ...
Did any Canadian mainstream media at all ever report on a Trumpster billionaire laundering money thru Rebel Media to rw violent extremists?

NYTimes: "Tech billionaire Robert Shillman paid roughly $7,000 a month, for a year, through a right-wing Canadian media outlet called Rebel Media"

I mean aside from foreign papers like the NYTimes, The Times of Israel, The Times, & The Guardian:

Ugh, Element has the blank window bug _again_.

Days like this make me wish there was a usable* native Matrix client for GNOME.

I pin the tab. "Alt-2" in the browser switch to it. Since it's in the second tab.
in reply to Hubert Figuière

@hub It doesn't work when you have like 20 browser windows open, each with dozens of tabs.

(I have to work on a lot of stuff at the same time, across multiple projects, including some research for things like web standards and much more.)

Ukrajina nedostávala zpočátku veškeré prostředky potřebné pro úspěšnou obranu před Ruskem. Zpoždění ji stála mnoho životů i část území, řekl ve středeční debatě na diskusním fóru při příležitosti summitu Severoatlantické aliance ve Washingtonu český prezident Petr Pavel.

Současně uvedl, že chce, aby summit NATO označil vstup Ukrajiny do Aliance za nezvratný.

Nesnáším. Prostě nesnáším GTK file dialog. Vždycky musí mít něco spěšl, co mě neskutečně sere. Proč ta tlačítka musí být nahoře? Proč si je nemůžu posunout dolů? 🤬

Myslel jsem, že si zvyknu, ale nevypadá to tak.

in reply to Marián Kyral

jo no. Jak nějakýho UXáka napadne hodit potvrzovací tlačítka nahoru, to nechápu.
Workflow by snad mělo být podle směru čtení. Filtruju nahoře, vyberu níž, potvrdím dole.
Mám rád gtk header bar s tlačítkama a dalšíma widgetama, ale tohle se nepovedlo.
in reply to Štěpán Škorpil

@stepan Myslíš, že tam vůbec nějakého zkušeného UXáka mají? Přijde mi, že jim to prostě přišlo "cool", tak to udělali takhle.
