What could go wrong? I understand the widespread apprehension about any kind of normalization of America’s Trumpification. But I’m having trouble thinking of any action other than principled refusal that is not normalizing. I don’t see how this is going to work.

On a personal scale we understand the choice to prevent a drunk from driving; civility be damned, we take the keys. Does this scale to the national scene? Does America need an intervention ?

I don’t see how this is going to work.

Time for a DK5 Update?

Spring lambs playing — What's all the gamboling about?

I know there are 15 (Hey, maybe 20!) site denizens who would welcome hearing from Jason or elfling about how the continuing evolution of DK5 is unfolding. Meta, please! The more technical detail the sweeter!

Bad timing for such a request here on the eve of the Great Consternation? Not at all. Something to distract, to cleanse the palate, as it were. Let there be stories, admonitions, promises, apologies.

Hobbled Mouseover Info in DK5

In the screen capture above we see the mouseover of the comment author’s name. The comment is very margin pinched so the author’s name is truncated.

In such a circumstance one could hope to see the full author’s name in the mouseover. (“Who wrote this?”) But no. It’s even more truncated in the mouseover!

I know a reworking of comments is in the works. Can we include making the mouseover reveal the entire user name? If you need to, drop the Joined in entry down a line? Thanks!

Time for another DK5 Update?

I know I’m not the only one who appreciates hearing from Kos about how the DK5 rollout is looking from the Developer/Support side . We got DAY 3, 5, 6 and 10 Updates. I think it’s time for another? (Hint, Hint!)

I like to start my site visit by scanning the Recent Diaries List. In DK5 that ‘s been taking me an awkward couple of clicks (punctuated by moments of “where was that?” mental meandering). Then I realized that I could edit my login shortcut, changing ww.dailykos.com to www.dailykos.com/diaries. Presto, for me now the site opens directly to the Recent Diary List! From then on, I use “open in new tab” options to look at any diaries, keeping the Recent Diaries List readily at hand in my first browser tab.

Of course the Recent Diaries List is a DK4 remnant, destined to be thrown into the code crusher as DK5 rolls on.

But in the meantime...
