Here's a link to the post I found it on

Steps to reproduce:

1. Make sure you have Boost set up with at least two different accounts (e.g. abc@lemmy.world and xyz@lemmy.ml).
2. Make a note of which account you're currently using in the main sidebar/drawer on the left (e.g. abc).
3. Visit a post and start making a comment.
4. Change your account to another one using the drop-down (e.g. change from abc to xyz)
5. Post your comment.

The comment will appear under the first account's name (abc), instead of what you set in the dropdown.

Is it just me, or is Mage Hand useless? Like, impressively useless.

I'm new to DnD (and DnD-like games) so I could be in the wrong here, but every time I think of something that Mage Hand should be able to do, it just doesn't.

Want to pick up an unreachable item and carry it to me? No.

Want to loot an otherwise unreachable body? No.

Want to pickpocket someone without being caught? No. (Okay, I get that this one would be pretty broken, even in normal DnD this is sometimes disallowed)

Want to fly a few feet up and light an overhead brazier? No.

Want to do literally anything useful? No.

Want to squeeze through a small hole to see a room you've already looted? Sure!

I'm at the point where instead of trying to think creatively about how to use it, I just immediately write it off because it probably can't do whatever I'm thinking of. I am genuinely surprised when I find out Mage Hand can do something, and that's not a good thing.

The only idea I had that actually worked was using it to stealth the early phase spider section by just throwing the gem at the end backwards, then moving the hand in the opposite direction to draw aggro. That's literally the only "useful" thing I've done with it, and I've still not found a use for the gem.

So I ask, what have you done with Mage Hand that's actually useful?

Here's some text.

And now some more text.

This concludes the sample.

It's not 100% consistent, but it seems to happen more when the images are partially off-screen.

I'm not currently developing a Lemmy app, and I have no plans to, so this is not a market research post for myself. If anything, I'd like it to be a resource for existing developers to see which features the community most wants!

So, putting aside regular features (e.g. things that the Hard-R app already does), I'm specifically wondering about which less common features you all want?

Here's of one of mine:
I'd like to be able to limit my usage of an instance to a specific account. For example: I never want to post to LemmyNSFW from my main account. That's what my alt is for. So I want to be automatically switches to my preferred account per-instance when I interact with it (or at least give me the choice to switch on-the-fly when composing a post or comment).

I have the Valve Index and I'm looking to experiment with using Linux as a daily driver (again). I've tried the latest version of Pop!_OS since I heard people have had good experiences with that, but I get various errors when starting SteamVR (some bluetooth errors, and some others that I don't remember the codes for) that don't seem to have any fixes right now. I would rather not spend an entire day downloading and installing a big list of distro's just to find out something doesn't work, so can anyone detail their good experiences using VR (ideally the Index) on Linux?

I'm by no means afraid of the terminal, so if I have to set up a few things there then that's fine, but I would rather that be kept to a relative minimum if possible.
