Edit2: Solved! Thanks everyone!
#Blind #Microsoft #excel users and others who, for whatever reason, only use the keyboard, NOT THE MOUSE: How the hell do I tell Excell to continue a pattern in a column without selecting it and clicking on the bottom left side of the screen or whatever?
Let's say I have a column with 1 in A1, 2 in A2, 3 in A3, so forth, and want that to go on for 150 cells or so. How the hell do I do it? Because I know I used to know, but I cannot find it.
It's not control+d. That just fills the whole column with 1's. It's not copy-paste; that does adjust properly for formulas, but for this, it doesn't. There is surely an option somewhere in the menus, but I cannot find it.
Alternatively, I'd also be happy to learn of ways to do this in #OpenOffice #Calc, so long as they are keyboard-only and accessible. LibreOffice doesn't work all that well here, at least Writer doesn't, but I could double-check if that extends to other programs.
#AskFedi #AskMastodon #ScreemReader

Edit: a couple folks suggested using formulas for this, adding so the first cell would be 1, the second A1 +1, etc. That works quite well for most use cases! It would mean the order of the numbers would stay the same when reordering the table though, so if I was using this to autocomplete a list of years, then sold by the comumn Income ... bam, the income of each year's not right anymore.
Also suggested was Home>Fill>Series. I do not see a Series option in the Fill menu at all, Bewilderingly. I'll try to switch my language to English to see if that's the issue, but I pressed all the things, so pretty sure it's not there for me in Office 365. Could someone with that version check whether it works for them?
Edit2: I figured out how to get to the series option! Turns out it was there, I just didn't realise I had to select the right type of series. :ms_facepalm: For those curious, for the Slovenian version, that's Alt +N, FI, V, Enter.

@Mayana Perhaps this is not the proper way but I'm doing it like this:
* Write number 1 into the cell A1
* Write the formula =A1+1 into the cell A2
* Use the up arrow key to go back into the cell A2 and copy the content with ctrl+c
* Navigate to the cell A150 or where you wish to finish
* Press ctrl+shift+up arrow to select cells from A2 through to A150 and keep ctrl+shift helt down
* Press down arrow to deselect A2 cell keeping A3 through A150 selected
* Now press ctrl+v to paste

Results, it's working equally in @LibreOffice and #microsoftoffice too.

Interesting article on using process reward learning rather than final outcome for #AI supervision. So instead of asking an AI a question and doing reward learning on the totality of the result, each step is evaluated. Good results for mathematics: openai.com/research/improving-…

Here's my re-ping! I checked out the docs both on Mozilla's site and Fastmail. There doesn't appear to be a way to map the "Archive" folder in Fastmail to Thunderbird yet. It can only see the "Inbox" and "Trash" folder for some reason. Any help would be much appreciated!

Hola Titánicos , me he topado con unos datos del INE (Instituto Nacional de Estadistica del Gobierno de España) que quiero compartir con vosotros.

Los datos los podéis encontrar en la pagina 8 de este pdf: ine.es/revistas/cifraine/1009.…

Pero os los he sacado una captura de imagen para que podáis leerlo mas fácil, para lo que tengas problemas de visión tenéis todo el texto en ALT de la imagen

Me gustaría saber si sois tan amables de compartir, tanto los que tengáis una discapacidad, un familiar con algún tipo de discapacidad o hayáis presenciado alguna situación de alguien con discapacidad ... que se haya sentido discriminado alguna vez por ello.

Y si lo podéis acompañar de la situación.. mejor que mejor gracias

It only took over a decade, but you can FINALLY! change the default notification sound on iOS as of the latest 17.2 beta. So whether you want to revert to tritone, pick one of the new sounds or even use a custom one, all of that is possible. I kind of want to use this for a while but something tells me it would get annoying very quickly 😂 any Worms fans recognise this?

Release progress at : github.com/deltachat/deltachat…

The update is available everywhere, besides flathub which will take it bit longer. (help appreciated if you want it faster 🙂: github.com/flathub/chat.delta.…).

Do not upgrade yet if you use "mail.163.com", they implement IMAP strangely so a recent optimisation in Delta Chat broke support: github.com/deltachat/deltachat…

I am considering changing Privacy Browser Android’s default for scrolling the app bar to false for new installs. As the average device screen size has increased over the years, I have found that I now turn off app bar scrolling on all my new devices. I would imagine this is similar for most users. If this change were enacted, users could still enable app bar scrolling if desired. It would simply adjust the default to match what I assume most users want.

So I wrote a blog post for the first time in 5 years, warning about hcaptcha's accessibility account. Long story short, they banned me from the accessibility account because I'm not blind. I am blind, but well, they seem to think not. Please boost, share, etc since this seriously affects me, and it's not ok at all. You can read the full blog post here: 4mt.me/hcaptchastory
