  • What Would You Like To See In Upcoming Updates
  • This is more of a fix than a feature, but I find that sometimes when I'm in my inbox, I can't get back to my home screen. It's inconsistent but it happens a lot, and I usually have to open a comment reply, then go to the thread, then the community, and then I can use the home button again.

    It's something that happened with Sync for Reddit too, so it's not a new issue. I can't seem to work out a pattern of circumstances though, it just seems to happen randomly.

  • Well, that was an absolute waste of time.

  • To Norway: An Apology

    Sorry Norway. Our jammy win in Oslo robbed you of a chance to experience a major tournament. Instead, your place went to a badly organised rabble, with no urgency, no ambition and not even basic ball control.

    You should have been in this tournament, and that disgraceful excuse for a Scotland team should have been languishing in 3rd or 4th. How in god's name did we beat Spain?

    Sorry Norway, you deserved better.

  • Well done Hungary. Scotland have been an absolute shambles. I'm glad we're out tbh. Fuck off Clarke.

  • Yeah, that's true - or 3-0 and 3-0 would work too :-)

  • Scotland qualification scenarios
  • You'll lose to Hungary

    Well, maybe. But it would much more in keeping with Scotland to win but still somehow go out :-)

    I think we might do ok tonight, coming back from the Germany game to get a draw against the Swiss showed some character, even if we didn't play very well in the first half.

    I hope we switch to 4-5-1 though, 3/5 across the back doesn't suit either Robertson or Ralston (albeit for different reasons), and I think we need to impose ourselves in midfield more than we have been.

    Too often we have 3 CBs just sitting waiting as the opposition advance unchecked through the midfield, and then suddenly the ball is in or near our box and it just takes a mistake to lead to a chance. I'd rather we played one fewer at the back and held the middle of the park more securely.

    We really only use a 3 so that Tierney and Robertson can both play at the same time, but with Tierney out, there's no need. Even when he's fit though, I'd just bite the bullet and drop one of them (probably Tierney) in order to play a 4 with proper FBs

  • Sure, here's a link - it's more a table than a spreadsheet to be fair, I just needed some way to lay out the various permutations. There are no calculations being done though.

  • [Match thread] Belgium vs Romania (Cologne, 21:00)
  • Listen, uh'm tellin' yuh...

  • Scotland qualification scenarios

    Of limited interest, I'm sure, but I spent a bit of time working all this out, and wanted to post it before Scotland go 2 down after 5 minutes tomorrow and render it all moot...

    So.

    If Scotland lose to Hungary, we're out. No ifs, buts, or maybes.

    If we draw then we need at least 2 out of 3 scenarios to happen in order to sneak through:

    • Spain beat Albania AND Italy beat Croatia
    • Turkey beat Czechia AND Portugal beat Georgia
    • Denmark beat Georgia AND England beat Slovenia by 5 or more (I think)

    If Scotland win against Hungary then any 2 (or more) of these scenarios gets us through

    • Spain avoid defeat to Albania (Scotland would finish better than Albania and also better than one of Croatia or Italy, regardless of their result)

    • Netherlands beat Austria (Scotland would be ahead of both Austria and Poland)

    • England avoid defeat to Slovenia (Scotland would be ahead of Slovenia and also at least one of Denmark or Serbia).

    • There's also the possibility that Slovenia hammer England (Scotland could finish better than England on goal difference and also would be ahead of at least one of Denmark or Serbia)

    • Portugal avoid defeat to Georgia (Scotland would be ahead of Georgia and also ahead of one of Turkey or Czechia)

    • Even if Georgia did win, we could beat them on GD, but we'd have to thrash Hungary, so not likely.

    • No draws on match day 3 in group E. Doesn't matter who wins, as long as two teams do.

    • Or, if there are 1 or 2 draws in group E then it comes down to goal difference, so we would have to hammer Hungary, see above.

    And yes, I made a spreadsheet to work all this out... :-)

    Feature suggestion - enable swiping between multiple photos in a post/comment

    Example post: https://lemmy.world/post/14058825

    I've no idea if this is technically possible at all, but on posts like the one above, where multiple images have been added, it would be really handy to be able to swipe between them as if they were in a gallery. At present it's a case of open one, close it, open the next, etc...

    Same for comments, not sure if that would be different than posts.

    Thanks :-)

    TLDR - Blue cards will be for dissent and cynical fouls. Two blues means red. Blue plus yellow also equals red.

    As someone who was against VAR from the start, I'm pleased to see someone as high profile as Lineker come out and admit he was wrong about it and has changed his mind. Fingers crossed this continues and we can start to move towards getting rid of it.

    Radio Lemmy @lemm.ee SanguinePar @lemmy.world
    A few bugs/suggestions

    Really enjoying Radio Lemmy, have had it on almost constantly :-)

    After using the site a few times, I noted a few things that might be worth looking at - not meant as criticism, just some ideas.

    Suggestions:

    • Freeze pagination tools of auto DJ library - would make it easier to navigate on mobile when scrolling down the song list. At the moment, when you scroll, you can't see the controls

    • Make the song request message popups (green for accept/red for reject) always appear onscreen as overlays instead of at a fixed point on the page - at present they're not visible when user is scrolled down, especially on mobile

    • Is there a way to filter the library by genre/artist? I can't seem to find it, apologies if I'm being dense.

    • It would be cool to be able to sort the library by date added - so we could see what new songs have been uploaded

    Bugs:

    • When sending a song suggestion it refreshes the page, stopping the music stream. Any way to prevent that?
    • I noticed that some songs have duplicate info - eg Pulp - Disco 2000, Stromae - Alors On Danse, and possibly more

    !

    Any way to go back to the pre-Android 14 file picker?

    I really don't like the file picker now - when sharing images or anything else, it shows inconsistent and incomplete lists of folders, and although I can then choose to go to Browse and pick that way, I'd rather just have that by default. Anyone know if it's possible?
