TIL: If a fly gets so deep in your ear you can’t even see it, pour some baby oil in. It encapsulates the fly and eventually it will slip out.
Had a fly so deep in it couldn’t be seen. But I could feel it fluttering. Would not recommend.

Is gentoo a good choice?
The question you ask in the title is a more general one that you ask in the title.
Yes, Gentoo is a good choice.
No, it is not worth compiling every package. This should not be the main reason you choose Gentoo.
Admittedly, I started with Gentoo for the same reason (per-package compilation), hoping for performance gains. However, I stayed because of the excellent documentation, the great user community; the rolling versions; the customizability and control I have over my system, the choices I need to make when installing, and keep making as the install is continuously set up over the years.
I’ve tried quite a few distros over the (+20) years of Linux-use. I keep choosing Gentoo.

Suomi puuttuu Applen listalta maista
Olen yrittänyt etsiä, mistä voisi ilmoittaa asiasta, mutta näyttää olevan vaikeaa. Jos valituksia olisi useita, todennäköisyys ehkä lisäisi, että Apple huomaisi ja korjaisi asian.

Watch OS 10 Beta: No More Lock Button?
Do you mean water lock?
It’s almost as convenient now, albeit behind a different button: press once on the side button to bring up control center. You should find water lock there.
What’s more annoying, I’ve found, is that end workout now requires two button presses. End and yes, really do end workout. 🤦♂️

Oh no! What an ordeal.
Can relate to the sensation of tasting madness while others are watching you swatting your head like it is the fly itself.

Swipe actions
Reply in thread
Those four actions (upvote, downvote, reply and save) for sure. Other possibilities might be collapse commentSensible defaults and possibility to customize would be ideal.
As to which those sensible defaults should be, setting it to Apollo's might be a good start. This post has a screenshot at the top which shows which those was, I think.
Voyager's settings, soon to be customizable it seems, can be gleaned here, I believe.

Feature requet: button for jumping to the next top-level comment
Reply in thread
Haven given it some more thought, I think the issue is, that what I was looking for was specifically “take me to the next top level comment”. Not “collapse current thread”. In actual effect, it doesn’t make much difference. Nevertheless, it is like taking a detour to get to the destination.
Perhaps both (collapse thread; jump to next top-level comment) could be swipeable options?
Maybe a floating button, visible when viewing posts with comments, could be seen when “jump to next” hasn’t been chosen as a swipe-option? That way, the option will be clearly in place out of the box, but won’t be an eyesore for those who have set up a swipe for the action?

The community link in the comment I'm replying to now is broken in Avelon, but does work in, say, Voyager. So something about the surrounding (non-linking) exclamation marks or parenthesis breaks the community-link identification mechanism. Ping @[email protected]

Still worked. (There were some other special characters as well, in the linked comment. Like parenthesis.) Could that be it? Otherwise, it is something else! Testing... ![email protected] (Obviously, doesn't matter which community is linked. But sticking to it!) :-) This is the last thing I'm trying.

Hi! Thank you for the reply. The link in your comment does indeed work.
Try opening this comment in Avelon: https://lemm.ee/comment/1870509
It contains a community link that does not work in Avelon. Does work in some other apps. I'll try writing it on an emtpy line next in this comment, to test if Avelon then recognizes it. That is, if it's something in the surrounding text in the linked comment that might be the issue.

That also worked. Let's see if it is an exclamation mark prior to the link that throws it off! Community link next: ![email protected] And some other text that follows.

I've heard good things about Arch. Indeed, I installed it on one of my boxes, where I specifically wanted to avoid a lot of compilations, besides being curious about it.
Used it for a bit over a year know and... I don't know, it hasn't been as stable, and I've find using AUR more of a chore than custom ebuild repos. It's probably great when you get used to it, but so far I still prefer Gentoo.
It's great, that there are several good distros for different use cases, and that we have the freedom to choose what suits us best!

Oh I see. Would’ve expected collapse thread swipe option to collapse all child comments of the specific comment that is swiped, not entire thread from top-level.

User link, like in the prior comment, doesn't seem to work either.

I’d say the name is apt and descriptive, once you realize it does exactly what it purports to do. It’s just different than what has become the norm (in the Reddit and Lemmy apps that I have used).
