Am I imagining things or have the DU pages gotten longer?
Seems like there used to be only about half as many threads on each page as there are now? Not complaining or anything. I am just wondering if there were some recent software changes that I hadn't noticed until now?

Anyone else notice this?

3. Seemed like I used to go through the page with about 3 turns of my mouse wheel
Now it takes five turns. Something may have changed on my computer? Mouse settings? Font size? Something is different.

10. Could be your mouse wearing out.
They're only good for a few 100 miles.

2. Haven't noticed that, but...
I have noticed thread deja vu... clicking on subsequent pages and finding the same threads that were on the previous page. Not all of them, of course...but quite a few.

4. Nah. You're probably just scrolling down farther more often.
Lotta crap floating around near the top these days.

6. Changing the resoultion and/or font size on your pc will do that.

7. Dunno - but I've had some problems with fonts being different sizes
when I go into different areas. I figured I must've messed something up, but I'm not having that problem with other websites.

9. I have made the assumption.
Edited on Mon Dec-06-10 11:42 AM by RandomThoughts
That not everyone on DU, is on the same DU.

Although that is an assumption. In other words, there could be many DUs and not everyone sees what everyone else sees. Or it could be that there are filters between what someone says and someone reads, I remember it took me a couple hours to be able to read and unlock some really old locked text, and understand actually why some text is locked, so don't worry about it. However the bad side locks the good, and some that think they are good locks the bad, (although I have done that temporarily also, although that is more tactical then strategic)

hence why more information expression seems better, since light overcomes dark, and if they are not separated then things will get better all together. The segmentation or dividing into different thoughts is done in many places, and does not even create a better society, but many societies that do not see or feel each other. And when that is created the better ones can not help the worse ones. Although the worse ones don't want that contact since they lose when people can express and exchange since the better ideas prevail. Hence why transparency and light means so much.

My assumption on things like your comment comes from the observation that I post things, then someone asks some question that I already posted about. That leads to the assumption that not everyone is seeing my posts. Although it could be filters in the person reading themselves, and not a technical segmenting of Internet pages.

Within security states, I presumed that programs like that would be a way to try and control information. Although many years ago I stopped depending on people reading what I post to think I have an effect, nor worry about the effects that are outside of my control, and do not choose to control others choices of actions if some chose to believe those systems exist.

Although if that was part of a system, I would assume it comes from Machiavellians, since it matches that concept of information control and dishonesty.

Also why even when tempted to segment or leave someone behind, I do not do that, since that is both what I think leads to better results, and a form of protection for me to learn on things that I could be wrong on.

This song is also why I believe in grace, since how did I see it?

You have to understand 'redemption of the fire jumpers' story to solve the paradox of crying angels, everyone in life can have grace mercy and justice when they learn that they can help people, then they help people in the after, that are like they were and did what they did by taking their suffering, till all are healed. But it is done by learning the love of the heart and truth of love, not control.

Although when you realize the truth of love, there is always someone giving you a hand up also, so all suffering caused in the world is put on God's shoulders, as it is put on all that God created to help all end suffering.

heh, some don't understand, crying angels do not feel sadness like you do, righteous sorrow does not hurt, they have the memories of their achievements, while many others don't. You are not thinking in totality.
