Death to the LightBox!

Just a quick note here, as I’m swamped in classes.  Pro-tip: If you can’t stand the new Facebook lightbox – especially on your phone – then just hit Ctrl+R, and it will load the old image page as usual. This works great on the N900, making browsing galleries sane again.

Update: On a tip from a friend, I tried out this Greasemonkey script, which not only allows you to kill the Lightbox permanently, but also adds a heck of a lot of good functionality and anti-annoyance features to Facebook. This can also be used on the N900 through the Greasemonkey port to microB (or whatever they call the stock Maemo browser these days). I think the package is in Extras-devel.

On an aside, I hear rumblings of KActivityConsumer & Friends moving to kdelibs/experimental, which would mean I could finally get my patch for KFilePlaces finished off and shipped. This would let you show Places that are relevant to your current activity, while conserving space when not needed. Yay!
