  • SSB is still around, but also not what I was looking for. I just wanted a frameless window (and no other pwa functionality).
    Fullscreen I disabled using my window manager. Under Linux you can commonly use alt+F3 to bring up the “right click on titlebar” menu, then disable fullscreen there. Generally ever window manager can disable fullscreen for windows, in a more or less accessible way (cough ms windows dll calls cough).

    As mentioned below, This is recovery. I could ban kiosk mode to a separate profile, but unless you invent a time machine this won’t undo having opened kiosk mode in an in-use profile.


  • Yes, this is more of a recovery operation. Whatever the fix may be, modifying the browser itself to open a window without decorations would be easier.

    There are some usecases in which you really don’t want to restart your browser.
    The easiest way to update your kernel is to restart your pc, yet there is a market for live-patch kernels.
    If someone accidentally infects their instance with kiosk, it may occasionally be preferable for them to follow a complex procedure to recover the instance, rather than doing the “simple” thing of restarting it.

    Restarting may solve many problems, but there is a more difficult but less invasive solution almost every time.
    Much like reinstalling may solve even more problems, but you can see that doing a reinstallation is not usually the right course of action.


  • Kiosk mode doesn’t just force fullscreen, it disables right click, the tab and title bar, …
    Basically the browser is close to unusable until kiosk mode is ended, which I currently only know how to do via restarting Firefox.
    And F11 is also disabled by kiosk mode. Interestingly, on the windows that were started before kiosk mode, it puts them into proper kiosk mode (after which F11 stops working of course).




  • In markdown, there is the notation []() for links. Reddit allowed it too for examples, and generally a lot of programs and platforms that have mild text formatting use markdown.
    [some text](https://example.org/some-link) will turn into some text

    Lemmy has basically extended this with ![]() which shows the content of the link
    ![some text](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/70/Example.png) will turn into some text

    Where did that “some text” go? It’s basically the placeholder for when the image is loading or failed to load, the correct term is the alt-text.

    The image @[email protected] was asking about uses the text
    ![](https://ttrpg.network/pictrs/image/396cb01b-6b2b-4351-9cd5-0742c2914719.png)
    It has no alt text. Any frontent that has an image upload button or similar will upload the image somewhere, take the link, and put it into your post like this.

    I hope your frontend renders code-blocks and escapes with backslash (\) correctly, else this may look weird to you.
