Countries with cans / plastic bottles deposits systems (Pfand)
  • I always wonder why there are no pan-Europe deposit systems in place, or at least some sort of recognition across the countries.

    Imagine you travel from one country to another, you grab a bottle of water for your trip, and then you are supposed to return that bottle only in the country where you originally got it.

    Or you not only miss your deposit—sometimes you can't even throw plastic bottles to recycling collection points just because the plastic bottle you got doesn't have their local sign/icon printed on the packaging.

  • Forget star signs, what key do you press to wake up your computer from sleep?
  • Any key at the corner. Usually arrow right. It doesn't mess up my password during the time it is waking up where I'm unsure if it is missing one or two characters. Sometimes also [ or control or fn or even backspace depending which keyboard I'm using.

  • Any app suggestions for expenditure tracking for splitting travel payments?
  • Really appreciate your elaborate sharing! I tried installing Splitwise but it seems to require a subscription to use or only allow me to add a few entries. I don't think I would be using it frequently enough to afford a subscription so I guess I will try out other alternatives suggested here.

    Thanks though!

  • Any app suggestions for expenditure tracking for splitting travel payments?

    I’m thinking of logging travel expenditures with a group of people, where different ones can pay bills for the group (or maybe part of the group). It would be the best if you can see how much the group or a person spent, how much you need to pay whom back at the end of a trip.

    Bonus if it is FOSS.

    Bonus as well if it supports different currencies but if you can log just numerical values and create multiple tracks of record, it is also fine.

    Thanks!

    Do you use your right shift key? Have you re-mapped it into another key/function? which one?
  • I really had to think hard and I guess I seldom use it. I touch-type but somehow my body has learnt to use only the left hand for almost all the modifier keys no matter how many keys I have to press there. It's actually a good idea that I only realise now that I should map that right shift for something else.

  • Skiff has been acquired by notion, is shutting down
  • I tried their email out for some time and was contemplating fully switching over. But somewhat in their email has always felt broken to me. Some days it was the text editor. Other days it was the reader and account thumbnails. Their support was responsive but their engineering really gave the feeling that they didn't care in the past few months.

    I guess that's why. I just wish something in tech isn't just working towards an MVP and then once it is out or sold, goodbye.

    Alternative to Google, they said. It didn't seem so alternative by its way of hitting the graveyard.

  • I actually prefer it that way. With tabbed Ribbons (Is it how they're called?), I constantly have to look over and over again which tab the thing I need is located, ending up in question why X is put here but not there.

  • [Feature Request] Search comments in a post

    It would be great to be able to search by keywords amongst the comments in a post. Right now there is the function to navigate from comment thread to comment thread on a post. I could picture the search can also be triggered by the floating action button similarly.

    Is there a way I could filter/search amongst saved comments?

    As title. Currently, when I go to Saved, only saved posts are displayed. The search function there does not seem to be limited to just saved posts (or even including saved comments). I would like to see the comment I saved and search/filter them.

    Thanks for any tips.

    Is there a way to set home to Subscribed instead of All communities?

    As title. I cannot really find where in settings I could configure that. For instance, now when I tap on Home on the bottom navigation bar or when I quit the app and reopens it again, I always land on All Communities. I would like to customise it to have Subscribed Communities shown by default.

    Thanks for any hints or help.

    Why are restaurants in Germany so loud?

    I may sound like overgeneralising but this question has been in my head for so long.

    I realise a lot of restaurants (even bars) in Germany are either playing music so loud that you have to yell to talk, or people round tend to speak really loudly as if they were sharing their conversations with the entire room, or both. If it is a Brauhaus, I understand, people are drinking. But even in cafés, or other supposedly quieter places, the volume climbs up quite quickly and naturally.

    Another thing is when I am abroad, this effect also happens the other way round. You would easily find out German-speaking tourists since they speak really loudly. And when you notice so, they do not seem to care about how loud they have been either.

    Am I just too sensitive?

    Sorting for comments is broken?

    Sorting comments in a post (Hot, New, Old, Top) seems to be broken. None of the options can rank the most upvoted comments on top.
