| Question | — |
How to deal with links to commerce? An answer in the Linux Codidact is using the price of solid state drives and hard disks to clarify its point, and does so by linking to these products in Amazon. Leaving my personal judgement of Amazon apart, I would nonetheless remove the links as the prices are what is substantial to the answer,... (more) |

I'm not experienced with the website magic (apart from HTML and CSS), but I think it may be simple at first sight only, as there will be the question of positioning, prominence and highlighting (as in the screenshot) etc. which I guess different users will have different opinions about.
In that ca... (more) |

The helped D says "thanks" to the helper R because D wants to demonstrate his acknowledgement, appreciation and thankfulness for R's help and time.
Voting is anonymous, so it fails to demonstrate that.
Reactions, as implemented by Codidact, are a much better solution to that as they are not ano... (more) |

I agree with your suggestion; Assuming all else fixed, this is how it would look like (changed `justify-content` to `top`):

"...and in the meantime we could do this." Sorry, what does "this" refer to here?
And thanks for pointing out that previews were added, I didn't realize that was the case (I thought padding was added). (more) |

A: Questions previews were introduced: Can the layout be improved? In my opinion, questions boxes have too much padding, which decrease the information density on the page. What about changing the preview's `margin` from 8px to 2px, and doing the same for the tags' `padding-top`? []()The result would be: (more) |

Keelan, in the last paragraph I was comparing Codidact to Stack Exchange (here some like to codename it to Somewhere Else). (more) |

I'm interested, but do share Canina's concerns.
I think it would be better if Tabletop RPGs were converted to Tabletop Games, and then Chess to a category of it. Such should be possible; it's just a matter of the existing community being fine with it. (more) |

I'll disagree with this one. I like the big fonts: easy to read at a glance, and the space is well occupied.
I really like Codidact's question list style by the way. Very uniform space distribution, comfortable to parse, 6 questions per screen height, while Somewhere Else I get only 4. Cheers to t... (more) |

@#36363 I looked that one up and found that indeed it could be used pejoratively: [1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foobar#History_and_etymology), [2](https://www.thefreedictionary.com/Foobar).
However, another, and perhaps the main, usage nowadays is simply as a placeholder. You will encounter it... (more) |

Indeed, though I don't believe someone would be put off by the name. By the way, even the current name — Linux Systems — is inaccurate, since other Unix-like systems are in scope.

Actually, 2 against 4 (we give each a +1 corresponding to the person who wrote the post) — yes, of course still quite low.

Although the Power Users community have (up to know) unanimously agreed with the idea, [a Linux Systems user has voted against it and explained why](https://linux.codidact.com/posts/285144/285187#answer-285187).
There are few votes on the matter yet, but since they amount roughly to a 2/3 for a merg... (more) |

| Question | — |
Is it possible to merge Power Users and Linux Systems? Would Codidact benefit from it? One of the concerns of How can we grow this community posts (see on Power Users and on Linux Systems) is that the sites may not be active enough, resulting in a poor first impression. If my calculations are correct, LS gets an average of 2 questions per week and PU gets 5. Given the scope of LS... (more) |
