All articles, instruction pages, study notes, news items, etc. can be found here under the Ordered Confusion Menu which basically serves as the blog page. Other menu items (Instructional, Around the Web) group the articles together by topic or theme. You may contact me at the Ordered Confusion Facebook Page.
Older people seem to repeat themselves a lot. Since I’m now “older”, I often wonder if I’ve already made the same comment about something to my friends. Today I left a comment on a YouTube video, then felt like I’d already made a very similar comment on another video of the same channel. Well, never fear, memory challenged comrades! There’s a way to check out all the comments you’ve made on YouTube videos.
To specifically see comments you have made on YouTube videos, go to this link (you may need to sign into your Google account): Google My Activity Your YouTube Comments
On the main Google My Activity site, you may find your history of website visits, your Google Maps timeline data, and also see comments left on YouTube live chats as well as your likes and dislikes (the thumb up and thumb down buttons on videos that you may have used). This history is available if you haven’t turned off web activity and location history in your Google Account settings.
As for the YouTube comment history, you can get there from within YouTube as well. Let me know if you’d like more info: Contact me.
As for my memory lapses, thankfully I found that I wasn’t making duplicate comments. Not yet, anyway.
After updating Linux Mint, you may find an unfamiliar icon on the taskbar from something called IBus. Apparently this software may be bundled with a program you already have, like Zoom, that supports Asian languages input. An update may add it to your system if you have a program that has incorporated it, but if you don’t need it, here’s how to get rid of it:
Open a terminal and run:
sudo apt remove ibusIf you just want to remove it from your taskbar (system tray), right-click its icon and go into your preference settings to remove the option to show the icon.
I was having a hard time trying to change the hamburger menu on a self-hosted WordPress site (not this one) from two lines to three. I have a navigation menu at the top that shows the names of pages on desktop view and the navigation switches to a hamburger menu on mobile. On the Framboise theme I’m using, the default is a two line hamburger menu like so:
That looks like a hamburger without the meat! I used the browser inspector tools to find the html and then the CSS controlling the menu but couldn’t figure out what to change.
After much searching I had given up but finally decided to search again tonight and found the solution. The menu icon is easily changed in the block editing tools for the Header template. I am using a FSE (full site editing) theme so I figured it should be easy to edit — and it is! I had just overlooked where to edit. The page where I found the solution is linked to in the resources area below.
NOW I have a hamburger!
