I am not an expert in that area so I cannot give you more guidance about your particular problem.
May 25 19:02
"I am stuck" does not explain anything.
May 25 19:02
Specifically focus on creating minimal, reproducible example which also includes explanation of the problem stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example
May 25 19:01
You should read stackoverflow.com/help/asking because there you will find guidelines for asking questions
May 25 19:00
@Krakalien If you want feedback on your Stack Overflow question you would have to ask on Stack Overflow. I edited the duplicate text (you should always look at the question preview before posting). But this is not the main problem with your question.

@Lundin This one was stellar meta.stackexchange.com/q/399843
May 22 08:34
@JourneymanGeek You mean like the tags update ;)
May 22 08:33
@JourneymanGeek That part wouldn't help much with OpenAI partnership... but better Meta post would probably limit the fallout.
May 22 08:31
Combined with complete ignorance about what GDPR is for
May 22 08:30
@Lundin To be honest this would probably fare a lot better if only Meta folks were involved as we mostly realized that there is no way to avoid AI training. It is the social networking posts from people that have no idea what is going on that lighted that fire.
May 22 08:28
It is a mess all around...
May 22 08:28
@JourneymanGeek Yeah, it is hard to get the real feel only from images.
May 22 08:23
For start removing bold from a font would be helpful. Then we could really focus on whether there are more things that need to be updated there.
May 22 08:20
@JourneymanGeek I am exploring those options. It seems that Chrome no longer supports userstyles but I didn't had much time (or eyes) to do more investigation about scripts yesterday.
May 22 08:14
Basically, I am restricted to chat as this is the only place on SE I can visit ATM.
May 22 08:08
I have rather sensitive eyes and when something has too much contrast or wrong colors (dark themes) I see colored blobs for half an hour. Like looking at sun.
May 22 08:06
@Lundin I see my bounty was removed, too. Maybe the message was a tad too much.. but my eyes were literally tearing yesterday after the tag change and now I need to avoid looking at them on pages where there are too many.

Imagine wars being fought only with spam
Feb 27, 2022 15:19
Spammers that care... that is the movie we will never see ;)
Sep 4, 2021 11:07
Phew... I already thought I will have to take a break ;)
Sep 4, 2021 11:06
No announcements... this is not planned...
Nov 25, 2020 19:23
@JohnDvorak if you ask my husband, no there is no correlation... he could not care less
Nov 25, 2020 19:22
and nothing is ever completely lost... we are still here...
Nov 25, 2020 19:21
@Ollie It is in my nature ;P
Nov 25, 2020 19:20

Oct 19, 2020 13:19
It works...
Aug 27, 2020 19:33
don't know... I kind of have trouble imagining living country where some basic things like healthcare, education, payed sick leave... and similar stuff are not available (or not available to all)
Aug 27, 2020 19:22
to outsider USA seems broken by design, I wonder why it didn't blew up sooner
Aug 27, 2020 19:21
to be fair, world is experiencing number of years quite differently
Aug 27, 2020 19:19
lol
Aug 27, 2020 19:18
@M.A.R. because it is 2020
Aug 27, 2020 19:17
It is absolutely horrible for code
Aug 27, 2020 19:17
@M.A.R. keep repeating it... maybe it becomes true...
Aug 27, 2020 19:12
I didn't have cognitive disability, now I have... I have trouble reading and understanding what is written... thank you SE.

Well, got to go... @πάνταῥεῖ see you around and stay out of trouble ;)
Jun 4, 2020 19:50
@πάνταῥεῖ it will be corona party
Jun 4, 2020 19:49
It is hard to say why... there is plenty of people that work in Germany, Austria, Italy... many came back home, some infected... but they didn't spread it a lot...
Jun 4, 2020 19:47
We got lucky, I guess...

@ShadowTheSpringWizard Having a blonde moment is fine, when you start having senior moments then you will be in trouble ;)
Jun 3, 2023 06:29
@ShadowTheSpringWizard AFAIK display name is used only because some people have different names across sites.
Jun 3, 2023 06:28
@ShadowTheSpringWizard I have no idea, but if you are logged in they probably pick that up. You can ask in SOCVR as some discussion is going there.
Jun 2, 2023 18:15
@ShadowTheSpringWizard You wanted to participate... letter can be signed at openletter.mousetail.nl

I was fine with your first version - it directly addresses FR, the other points are irrelevant as people can freely follow or unfollow posts. Or should I say, I don't agree with your first version either.
Nov 22, 2021 09:19
This is not request for completely new feature, this is just "enable existing feature on all posts", so while I cannot say how much time devs need to implement this, I doubt they would need 6 to 8 weeks. But main point is not how much time this requires, but whether it makes sense to have follow post on all posts. For instance I wanted to follow locked post and I couldn't, now I am not new around here so I assumed that this is maybe because post is locked. Not all users might know that, and this is confusing for users, not having expected functionality.
Nov 22, 2021 09:19
If you don't want to get notifications then you obviously shouldn't follow posts. Whole point of this FR is to get notification if something changes, no matter how unlikely it may be. Bookmarks don't send notifications.
