It’s a downvote, not an insult. This whole conversation is a tempest in a teapot.

Might be easier for different platforms.

On Lemmy/Voyager it doesn’t seem really feasible but perhaps it’s more obvious elsewhere.

Alright, I’ll bite.

I’m a bit surprised that anyone would bother to note a downvote, let alone dig deep enough to investigate who downvoted and then specifically call them (me) out in the comments. It feels over the top and borderline malicious.

As to why I downvoted in this case, two reasons:

• discussion of someone’s pet name for a family member seems very irrelevant in this case, not particularly “contributing to the conversation”. I get why the question was asked and answered but it seems so far from anything important, especially now that it’s been explained.
• it bothers me that someone would write as if the reader should be expected to somehow know who their husband is, let alone by reference to their pet name.

Lastly, I don’t know why someone would ever be so invested in up- or down-votes at all. It’s not like the fediverse has the Reddit concept of “Karma” or whatever one wants to call fake internet points. It’s disappointing to have a negative total on a post sure but it’s completely ephemeral and irrelevant to one’s life.

Not sure I should be engaging here but are you seriously stalking downvotes?

Oh no, are beans back in vogue on Lemmy?

Isn’t nfs pretty much completely insecure unless you turn on nfs4 with Kerberos? The fact that that is such a pain in the ass is what keeps me from it. It is fine for read-only though.

Bro’s not saying you have to memorize the manual, just like … read it. Even a bit of familiarity goes a long way.

If you have literally no memory then command line is 100% unusable but otherwise every little bit helps.

And yet if they don’t they risk becoming irrelevant.

Not sure. Just one of the ones I remember enjoying the most as a small child.

Mr Uppity for sure.

Only office is basically the same interface again, all cloning MS-office 2007-2010.

Bleach.

I love filter views, no real complaints there except that other people can’t manage to figure out the difference between filtering the whole sheet and setting up a filter view.

Tables seem kind of pointless but better than a separate database app I guess?

Not sure about “little pills”, do you mean the drop downs? That’s in validation, and it’s a little odd but better both in interface and function than Excel. There’s really only one version and two ways to do it: “data validation” and “insert drop-down” (the latter is just a shortcut to the former, but with relevant options selected). Checkboxes are the same (both live in the insert menu).

I’ve never known the “paste style” menu, I mostly use keyboard shortcuts when pasting. I might be misunderstanding what you’re describing there.

Some of it is just familiarity but I found Google sheets to be a breath of fresh air and still find Excel just painful.

Although Google has really gotten pretty cluttered lately as they add features and slap them in whatever menu they pick at random.

Similar but with an interface that refuses to do anything new for 20 years.

That’s okay, it was a correction not a criticism.

It’s “slew” not “slayed”.

“Algorithmic steering” is okay as long as the algorithm is relatively straightforward, public, and well-understood.

The problem is when the corpos tweak it to suit their mass-market advertisers.

Awesome. That seems like the way to go then!
