Does the Search function on cppreference.com always use DDG? 🤔
IIRC search used to be internal but switched to external engine at some point.
Aside: Compiler Explorer's "Search on Cppreference" sends the query directly to the cppreference wiki's search engine, which I like except it always results in a list of topics "containing" the search term and won't take you directly to the topic page even if the term is very specific.

#AskFedi #AskMastodon Any recommendations for #Gaming headsets, with good support for #Linux ?
Looking for a good integrated microphone, good software support, without having to pass through to Windows, or good performance without dedicated software support. Max £120~ preferably. Arriving before Christmas if possible, but not critical. Preferably wired.
Thanks to anyone who can help!
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.
Females of the Fediverse, when you're in a video chat with someone using a device where the camera is above the screen (most laptops & phones), does it feel like they are looking at your chest?
For context, I work remotely and I'm trying to understand the post-covid video chat etiquette. Are people more comfortable with no eye-contact chats nowadays? And specifically, is there a gender dimension? Feel free to share, I'm looking for diverse perspectives.

Anyone out there who has tried #kitsugi and has advice about how to do it well? #askmastodon
I just installed "YouTube Viewer", aka Firefox, because ad blocks. I don't know how much it helps, but giving it a shot.
Anyway, my question is, how can I tell if a Firefox window is "private"? I don't see any *visual* difference between a "window" and a "private window".
For example, in Edge, a private window has a blue label "InPrivate" in the toolbar. Likewise, Chrome puts the label "Incognito" in the toolbar.

Ok folks, I have a Mastodon question:
Is there any way to hide boosts if I already follow the account who made the boosted toot?
Bonus question: is it possible to hide boosts if somebody else I follow already boosted it?
I do not want to hide boosts from people I follow in general (because I only follow awesome people), but sometimes I see toots 5 times, which is a bit much.

Is there any #free #NextCloud #hosting provider that offers #encryption by default for when the #app doesn't support #E2EE?
I'm looking into syncing with #Thunderbird on #Windows with #Android #apps and not all of them supports E2EE. For example, #Joplin does, but Simple Calendar doesn't.
This turns out to be more complicated that I've thought - as most search results use NextCloud's inbuilt web app instead...

Does anyone know what this number/code signifies on Knebworth Rd, London N16: 9684 N.N.S.?
There is another with the same N.S.S. suffix in Notting Hill, which happens to be just below a ghost sign. This could indicate they are site markers for an outdoor advertising company, but that is currently just speculation. .

Why do I still see posts in languages that I did not select in "Preferences > Other > Public timelines > Filter languages" when browsing, pinning, or subscribing to hashtags? Did I miss something about how it works or is this a bug?
There's this issue [0] but I don't know if the dev's see this as a bug or if they think it's normal.

For me, hashtags searches query the federated (i.e. public) timeline and therefore should be filtered.

What is the respectful protocol for quoting someone’s #Mastodon post in a blog post?
I have seen posts, especially questions in groups, that I feel like writing a blog post on, usually because I can't condense what I want to say into 500 characters.
However, do I:
• Share OP name or keep anonymous?
• Ask for consent prior to writing?
• Paraphrase the post and don't quote OP?

Asking for #Mastodon help: is it possible to block/mute a hashtag only for posts from a specific person?
