While we're at it, am I missing at instance-agnostic method for linking posts as well?
You assume I'm not contributing ... based on what? I addressed participation in this thread first as that's the most convenient for me to substantiate. I've bought many of the clients, before trying them and finding I preferred the webUI, but I went into this more in my conversation here with @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz ... Regardless, I've stuck to the topic, except for where called out for "hostility", "entitlement", or "not contributing". You went there first, and seem to have benefitted from the fact that my reply ended up on the wrong one of your (dismissive and condescending from the start)comments.
I don't need your patience. This is not your post. Should have left you blocked, but blocking you obscured @RobotToaster@mander.xyz 's far more valid, one word, contribution to the topic at hand.
Based on the fact I haven't seen your handle contribute to the github, which I follow relatively closely. Not to mention from your question's phrasing, and lack of research beforehand, I could have surmised as much. A contributor probably would have been able to find the relevant discussion on the github and read it rather than just badmouthing the software in a post.
I agree, RobotToaster thought through their reply and came with ideas that might actually work, at least in their second comment, not just complaining "why isn't this already the way I want it??"
Thing is, I know enough to come in here and ask "why not UUIDs?", but instead I asked, yes, not far from the way you said it, but "why is it this way? Am I the crazy one here?" (the implication of "I think this is crazy and no one else does", as sanity is generally defined by society or group concensus)
Funny story, I'm not crazy in this respect, this time, and the fix is already in the lower-level codebase even though the webUI hasn't yet implimented it, or so I'm told, something that was more-or-less apparent from seeing it working basically the same across multiple clients.
It's a little hard to contribute code from inside a moving(LOUDLY) steel box miles away from civilization, and I would have done some more research were I in a place to do so(contribute code, I mean, you know, best practices and all), but the idea that I would use this handle on github for non-machining related code is laughable, although you are correct on the specific criteria that I have contributed no code there whatsoever. I am well aware that I am more valuable here(not there, for now) as a shit-stirrer with a wallet, and see no reason to come at others with bUt dO YoU CoDe!?
