Comment on Highlighting text in Wikipedia scrolls up too fast? in ~tech
Don_Camillo that might actually be a usable workaround for me, to just disable this scrolling feature, as i don't actually need it (i think) will try that when i get back thank youTweak Firefox settings: You might be able to tweak the browser’s scrolling settings. Type about:config in the Firefox address bar and search for parameters like general.smoothScroll to adjust scroll behavior

Highlighting text in Wikipedia scrolls up too fast?
To be honest I have some problems explaining what I mean, which might be why I can't find a solution or explanaition for it. I use firefox on Linux and out of habit i highlight text while reading...
To be honest I have some problems explaining what I mean, which might be why I can't find a solution or explanaition for it.
I use firefox on Linux and out of habit i highlight text while reading it. I always did that and it helps me to read a lot faster and to relax my eyes while reading. It's something i don't think i can get rid of, even if I tried, it's just so deeply burned in.
As well I use to scroll the text I'm reading to the top out of the same reasons or maybe it's just habit as well, but I realised I cannot get rid of it as well :-)So no to my problem:
Usually this works flawless, i can highlight text and have the cursor where I'm reading in the topmost visible line. But for some strange reason this does not work in the "new" wikipedia layout. where if I highlight text in the upper third of the page it scrolls upwards quite fast which just fucks up everything and makes my day bad. (this behaviour is not present in the old design which e.g. the germand wikipedia still uses)Is it me?
Is it my browser?
Is there a way to get rid of this, so I can keep my workflow while reading and learing on wikipedia? Is somebody else observing this behaviour?
Where can I even start to look for a solution? I don't even know what to look for.It truly bothers me, as I'm close to every day on it, and it might be my favorite website.
I heard there is a way to switch to the old wikipedia layout, which might be a workaround. But I actually like the new Layout a lot, so if there is a way to avoid that it would be great :-)18 votes -

try everything. do it very slow and low intensity at first, but keep on moving. never stop. rest when you need it or when you overdid it. find the balance, but dont stop moving. movement not only builds the muscels that give you stability, it also expands the "resoulution" with which you feel your back, keeping you save from bad moves and informing you about when you need to rest and how much.I hurt my back when i was still quite young. was hurt for years, could not really do anything until i understood that. now i work construction, lift heavy stuff all the time and i love it and it helps a lot keeping the pain away.
also, hamocs. best way to rest. keep in mind hamocs do have a learing curve :-)
good luck to you and fast recovery

Don_Camillo might add, choose the most recent LTS (long term support) release and you dont need to upgrade for some years. its what i put on my parents machines, they never have any problems with it.might add, choose the most recent LTS (long term support) release and you dont need to upgrade for some years. its what i put on my parents machines, they never have any problems with it.

Kde, SUSE, The Linux Kernel just to name a few. And in this context, the document foundation is based in germany.
europe might not have any tech giants, but there are a lot of small and middle sized companies there that can an will profit from a switch away from U.S big tech to FOSS. -

I don't have an opinion about china because I don't know enough about it. Quite unlike the US. And thats kind of my point.

Don_Camillo I do speak several, but i like the international aspect of english. its just really tiering that most english speaking spaces have this US default.I do speak several, but i like the international aspect of english. its just really tiering that most english speaking spaces have this US default.
do you cut your hair yourself? most people don't, they get a professional to do it. Go to a barber, it's nice, i cannot recommend it enough. I started doing it a couple years ago, don't even own a razor anymore.
I go every two to three months, so it grows out quite a bit, but then people actually see the change and i get compliments.
It's obviously not the cheapest way, but then, I don't spend a lot of money on my looks otherwise.
Another thing, as a straight man it is quite rare to get touched on the face by somebody else, especially other men. I enjoy that short moment of intimacy
