For this month's open thread, we're experimenting with Inline Reacts as part of the bigger reacts experiment. In addition to being able to react to a whole comment, you can apply a react to a specific snippet from the comment. When you select text in a comment, you'll see this new react-button off to the side (currently only designed to work well on desktop. If it goes well we'll put more polish into getting it working on mobile)
Right now this is enabled on a couple specific posts, and if it goes well we'll roll it out to more posts.
Meanwhile, the usual intro to Open Threads:
If it’s worth saying, but not worth its own post, here's a place to put it.
If you are new to LessWrong, here's the place to introduce yourself. Personal stories, anecdotes, or just general comments on how you found us and what you hope to get from the site and community are invited. This is also the place to discuss feature requests and other ideas you have for the site, if you don't want to write a full top-level post.
If you're new to the community, you can start reading the Highlights from the Sequences, a collection of posts about the core ideas of LessWrong.
If you want to explore the community more, I recommend reading the Library, checking recent Curated posts, seeing if there are any meetups in your area, and checking out the Getting Started section of the LessWrong FAQ. If you want to orient to the content on the site, you can also check out the Concepts section.
The Open Thread tag is here. The Open Thread sequence is here.
Recommendation for everyone who reported bugs in this comment thread: Bug reports are quicker to do, and much easier to understand for devs, if you accompany them with screenshots or gifs of the bug behavior. There are a bunch of screen capture tools which can very easily record a gif and upload it to the internet.
For Windows I've recommended ShareX here before; whereas for MacOS I've heard that e.g. CleanShot might be able to do this (though I haven't tried that myself). I'm not aware of any Linux versions, but they'll surely exist, too. Plus nowadays I suspect that even the inbuilt screen capture tools on each OS can record gifs, and even if they can't automatically upload them, you can instead just drag the final gif into the LW comment.
