holy hell this is massive

thank you for your work db0

the same way that removing a headphone jack is courageous, i guess

i think randint is talking about the lemmee megathread where we were discussing whether to defed hexbear. i have no idea why he'd post this on your megathread

Well yeah I guess I should have expected this coming lol. But to be fair I don’t think me commenting on cth justifies their personal insults.

no, it doesn't. but it also doesn't justify you demanding that l.ee blocks them entirely. personally, i haven't had any bad experiences w/ hexbear, and i'm subscribed to at least one of their lemmyspheres.

Also, another half of personal insults happened on !worldnews@lemmy.ml.

yeah, that i can't (and have no plans to) defend. but my i did skim the thread i believe you're talking about, and whilst some of your ripostes are quite good; my advice would just be to block AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net and just not engage. just walk away from the computer and make a cup of tea. i know that's what i do

if you feel like being courteous you can tell the person that, or you can just block them and not respond

well actually, i did recently make a backup acct. on lemmy.dbzer0.com...

get well soon!

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^[other colours are available, i just like orange], 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

some examples:

with material design, it's clear what's a header, what's a footer,^[look at the lack of contrast on that "new post" button] 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

original comment
another thread in the same post

i don't hate webp. i think png is better, but i think webp is fine

but i really don't want google to have more control over how i browse the internet.^[especially given how they've recently shown that they will abuse their monopoly] let's maybe use an image format that isn't owned by them, perhaps

because it's already compatible with everything

i have a cheap pair of earphones in my pocket (which i'm prepared to lose). another by the door. a more expensive set of headphones upstairs. a speaker in the kitchen. and when i get in a friend's car or go to their house, i can just plug my phone in and it works without the aggravation of having to pair to their speaker

tell me, oh "you can just buy a dongle" people, what am i supposed to do? buy one and accept that i'll lose it all the time? buy 5 and keep one plugged into every 3.5mm i own and don't own?

plus, y'know - takes slightly more battery, hassle to pair, can't charge and use dongle, all the other obvious issues

the whole archived article is worth reading as well - i particularly like

Reddit user malsomnus hails it as the best change since the quest to depose Quackion, the Aspect of Ducks.

i don't think there can be. tumblr's draw isn't any features it has (apart from maybe homepage customisation, but you get that with a website) it's the features it lacks (algorithms, etc). and it's the community, which was curated by a lot of coincidences at the right time.

you'd need to get everyone to up and move at once, with the ability to reblog posts from old tumblr. i think it's unreplicatable

the qt one is much better. on kde i can use a portal to make gtk apps use it; i don't know if there's a way to do that on cinnamon, but it may be worth looking into
