🐵 David Having no answer, I am curious. What does the broccoli symbolises?

🌈 Thomas Rosen I use it to symbolize living vegan 🤷 but it's also a very average fruit/vegetable

🏒 Lucian Marin There are 10.9 million (3304*3304) combinations using just two emojis. If only Subreply will reach that many accounts.

🌈 Thomas Rosen Yes! These should be enough :)

🌈 Thomas Rosen YEAH, I just set my Emoji-Status! :D ... But I somehow thought I could use three emoji. I guess the textbox seemed long enough @lucian

🙄 Doug Belshaw I wrote about Emoji ID, an idea I had back in 2018 around three emoji representing you as a unique ID within federated social spaces: blog.moodle.net/20...

🏒 Lucian Marin Snopes seems exactly like what Elon Musk wanted to do with Pravduh.

🌈 Thomas Rosen Exactly what I thought

🌈 Thomas Rosen Why did I just found www.snopes.com ??? I ever wondered why there is no ultimate fact-checking website. Now I know ... Cause there is since 1994!

🏒 Lucian Marin My bad. I replaced /register with /signup and forgot it's on single pages when you're not logged in.

🏒 Lucian Marin I'm not sure yet how far I can take it, but if I fit all the pieces together I might end up with something useful. Text parsing is a bit tricky but it will work, following links and building a global tree is doable, letting users save interesting links is simple, commenting on search results is something I want.

🌈 Thomas Rosen What about letting people give tags or some kind of voting, to inform about the quality of the webpage and to also challenge fake-news and radical websites. This shouldn't be much more data and could possible greatly benefit the search-results

😀 Tom Restrooms with motion-activated lights should have additional motion detectors above the stalls.

🌈 Thomas Rosen Ahhh, YES But it would be even better if the room checks if someone's in there, not if something is moving

😀 Tom I've been having a lot of interesting dreams lately. One of the most interesting ones is where I stole a jet, went on SpaceX's first manned moon mission, and skydived all in one dream. I went skydiving before, and it worth doing at least once, never stole a jet and probably never will, and I guess I can only dream about going to the moon, although it is a life goal to go into space.

🌈 Thomas Rosen Uhh!!! I love those dreams! They always give me the ultimate motivation to get out of bed and change the world (but then, I also just wanna sleep in to dream a bit further)

Martijn Apple doesn't seem to run ads, at all, in mainland Europe. At least I have never seen it on TV in Sweden, Germany, or the Netherlands. Instead carriers have ads for their networks and sometimes pitch in a "get phone X free with subscription Y". This is done with new phones most of the time. The S7 was released this month, the iPhone was released half a year ago.

🌈 Thomas Rosen I'm from Germany. Here Apple runs a campaign, each year, short after the release. At the end of every spot, the logo of the carrier, who sponsored the ad is shown.

Simon Janes When people are triggered by eggplant emoji... it is time to move on.

🌈 Thomas Rosen +1

🏒 Lucian Marin I noticed this trend a few years ago. I was a pretty good web/ui designer for a few years. Then I decided to re-learn programming, built Sublevel and now I have a full-time job as a software engineer. I still think design is better than code, but it's hard to explain to someone why a design is better than other. With code it's easier because it does or doesn't do what the end user is asking.

🌈 Thomas Rosen I think, sometimes you can convince people by an example(, that design is not about beauty): compare the medium.com editor with Word 2007. Of course, it's trendy flat, but that's coming from a more important point: it's missing the distracting buttons at the top and info lines at the bottom. It just focuses on the writing, not on word art.

Simon Janes Spacemacs is one of the very few applications that excites me when there are new updates.

🌈 Thomas Rosen I'm existed about updates for the medium.com app. Cause then I'll get something short and nice to read.

🏒 Lucian Marin Nothing or zero for all keys.

🌈 Thomas Rosen Can't you detect that? For example, by simulating a keystroke and waiting for the event. If it's not there after 50ms you could show an submit button.

🏒 Lucian Marin Can't do anything about it. You need stock Android keyboad or an iOS device.

🌈 Thomas Rosen You mentioned that only the keyboards are sending the right keycode. What are the other keyboards sending? Are they sending nothing?
