the "risk" of false positives comes down to the consequence. if the consequence is being stuck in the slammer, don't use ai. if the consequence is you can't upload the image unless you manually appeal, or even maybe have to use an external image host; i think ai is fine

oh of course - sorry, i forgot you could only mod someone who comments.. i've commented under my latest post
might i ask why it would be preferable though? i have nothing against l.w (i was very happy w/ just a l.w acct.) but i moved to lemm.ee because i felt it better for the health of the fediverse? surely it's better to spread the load?

yeah, i liked the soft & friendly kde cursors.
not sure about the colours either, but that might be because they've changed from the portal colours to the portal beta colours. i never thought of them as portal themed before, but now i can't unsee it

yeah, that's basically when i play most aaa games - when the mood takes me, but mostly ~10 years old. i've just recently finally played wofenstein new order, followed by the tomb raider legend trilogy (they're really short), and i've now started on the tomb raider survivor trilogy
indie games i tend to play a bit sooner; partly because they're cheaper and partly because i feel they're more likely to use (and need) the money to make more games. although the last indie game i played was fez, and the dev of that has quit completely...

inline apng's work, but i could only make my profile picture work with webp, not gif or png. have you tried that?

slide had a "similar" thing, so slide for lemmy probably will; but it's in very early development and that feature doesn't yet work

pretty unpopular opinion i believe, but i loathe them. they feel like installing apps from the windows store, but worse. i use them on steam deck and my laptop, but they often fail to launch with no feedback[^1], won't accept drag&dropped files, store their dotfiles in weird places, take up much more disc space (and therefore take literally almost 10x as long to download), won't inherit the theme (i think because plasma stores the gtk theme in a non-standard place), etc. they feel like they've been designed to flout what os developers have built up over many decades and are just a struggle to use.
[^1]: on steam deck particularly (so i know it's not a configuration i've screwed up) no flatpaks will launch unless i launch them twice. even after that, there's a long delay (~1 minute) and then two instances launch. i know this sounds like i should just wait until the first one launches, but that doesn't work

sublemmy is cute, trips off the tongue, and can be shortened to sub. community is more awkward to say, and shortens to comm or commie. c/ (cee-slash?) is just awful. until someone suggests something better (lemmons? lemmunities?) i'm going to keep using sublemmy

::: spoiler another, for those who use 88x31 buttons :::
Zeus 1 year ago • 100%
meh, i'd say they're obviously buttons from context (why would a calculator app just have a bunch of random unclickable symbols?). but assuming they don't immediately read to you as buttons; md3 calc app only has 8 buttons: AC
, ()
, %
, ÷
, ×
, -
, +
, & =
. the rest is just exactly the same mess of text randomly laid out edit 2023-08-03: i have now looked at this image on a better calibrated monitor. the numbers actually do have background circles (why did no-one pick me up on this). however, this does prove my point about the complete lack of any contrast on anything
having areas is good as it allows the eye to do a sort of binary search: if i want a scientific function i'll look in the white on blue, operators in blue on white, numbers in black on white; then search for the exact button i want. without that, everything's an unorganised mess (for instance why are brackets in the same section as operators?), with some functions hidden in the v
button at the top right
also i've just noticed - how do the brackets work in md3? do you have to tap the button once to bring up a menu and then tap the bracket you want? or does it automatically insert one based on whether you're inside a set? if it's the latter, how does one do nested brackets?

tinfoil hat time, but i'm pretty sure that's why they were trying to introduce web bundles a few years ago. thankfully they seem to have flopped, but if they hadn't and chromium introduced a closed source interpreter i think that would have been the end of anything non-chromium

i wouldn't even mind the colours if they didn't tint the background. tinting solely the main text colour and the main buttons might look quite nice. to be honest though, i just loathe pastel colours in general, so it's possible that's influencing my opinion
Zeus 1 year ago • 100%
personal opinion, i think padding is worse for delineating objects than a bit of colour; or just, like, a line. look at this example - there are four distinct segments on the left, whereas on the right they all merge into one and a half
padding is really useful, yes, but if you put padding on everything then what's there to be separated?
Zeus 1 year ago • 88%
yeah, i hated material ew as soon as it was announced. so much padding everywhere, and so little contrast - to paraphrase the incredibles: if everything's orange^[1]^, nothing is. your eyes will adjust to it. i want actionable items to stand out, not be a slightly lighter shade of the same colour. it also looks rather like a fischer-price my first phone interface
i must say, if an app (for example, jerboa) uses material 3, i usually try to look for an alternative
[1] other colours are available, i just like orange
edit: some examples:
with material design, it's clear what's a header, what's a footer,^[2]^ and what each button's state is.
with all the padding, there's also less space; leading to less functionality
with material ew, it's much harder to tell at a glance what each app is, one has to scrutinise the icon rather than just tell at a glance by colour
i also really dislike monet; the way it pulls this horrible washed out sickly pastel colour from a wallpaper and washes it over the entire app. if i just pulled one accent colour, and applied that to, say, the header and main action button, i'd like it a lot more
[2] look at the lack of contrast on that "new post" button
Zeus 1 year ago • 100%
i like it. i'm glad to see a bit of depth and personality coming back into the design à la mode

i imagine a fedisearch engine will come out that can search lemmy, kbin, mastodon, etc. efficiently; so instead of googling "how to x site:reddit.com", we'll just fedisearch "how to x"
in fact, i'm pretty sure i already found one but it wasn't very good, and i've forgotten it's name

i do like the RES feature of personal counts though
if someone on res had a [+10] next to their name, i'll know i personally respect their opinions, even if i don't remember their name. similarly, if they have a negative number, i'll know not to engage as they're probably a troll

have you got an 88x31 button? i'd like to link to this
(no worries if you haven't, i'll just use a text link)
Zeus 1 year ago • 100%
i agree with almost all of this, but i just want to say:
How in windows 10 can I tell if a window has focus or not? In Win 3.1 to 7 and anything running on Linux it was easy: the title bar colour was different. But since Win 8 that was dropped, windows still have focus and modal dialogs but you, the user, can not determine which has what and when.
if you tick "show accent colour on titlebars", windows does draw the current window titlebar distinctly coloured (so i guess it's actually better than gnome in that sense)

i think the reason most people do things like that is nostalgia; and it's hard to create the feeling of the web you're nostalgic for, without also creating the look of the web you're nostalgic for. it's definitely possible, but a lot of people won't
it's also an expression of personality — it's a personal site after all, if you're making your own site, make it a reflection of yourself — and a rebellion against "modern" graphic design trends (which i hate), where everything looks corporate, cold, clean, and characterless. they offend nobody, but please nobody
a site like webpage1990colourised, pleurodelinae, bytemoth, drakul78, or cyborgcatboys is going to put a lot of people off, but many others will love it. i like the idea of that kind of interesting, individualised site creation
i personally try to split the difference, make a garish site with flashy gifs, but use modern web practices like responsive design (and i've noticed others like solinus do similar things)

posting this because i searched for it and very little came up. for some reason it's not in joystick settings, it's hidden off-screen at the bottom of the available input methods. it's on screen for inputs with few options, like ABXY, but not joysticks, trackpads or gyro [youtube tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWrLM_0qFq8) (not mine) i realise people generally prefer action layers, but i find mode shifts much less buggy
i'll be honest, i started this sub because nobody else had; and i wanted it to exist. i don't want to be a mod, i don't know how to, and i don't like the idea if you would like to help out, please comment on this post or message me
