No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Sometimes you want to write something with broken lines and you write in the editor:

That's right I'm Sokka
It's pronounced with an Okka
Young Ladies, I rocked ya!

But it ends up looking like this:

That's right I'm Sokka It's pronounced with an Okka Young Ladies, I rocked ya!

The fix is to add two spaces between the final character and the carriage return.

I don't understand what the problem is. CR should be easy enough to translate, and the users intentions are clearly confirmed because they're looking right at what the expect it to look like when they hit submit.

Why does the user have to add two spaces? Why is the universe like this?

Edit: Holy Shit, look, I'm just an idiot typing text expecting WYSIWYG and I don't see a good reason for why I'm not getting it other than that programmers lack theory of mind.

It can help to give an analogy. But in this case it would be more clear if you would demonstrate the usefulness of this feature by explaining why a user wants to prefer to hit enter and not get any result, instead of hitting enter and getting a newline.

Also:

hit enter and not get any result

You mean "hit enter and have it not affect the rendered output." It does produce a result. It makes it appear/act differently in the editor. That's not "not getting any result." Just "not getting any result" that's visible in the rendered output.
