Ask me anything.

I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks

So basically just a way to export/import community block lists (e.g to a json/csv file) and share them?

I’m mostly asking since I maintain a Lemmy frontend (Tesseract), and that sounds like an easy feature to implement if I understand correctly.

It says something about the current relationship of large corporate apps and users when Slack makes an update - of particular annoyance is that the search bar at the top basically eats the entire border now making it impossible to move the window around unless you make the window sufficiently large - and my immediate thought is “this must have been deliberate in order to make sure Slack takes up as much of my screen as possible.”

It’s hard for me to think of a legitimate reason for how massive that search bar is and why it is so damn close to all the edges at the top making the window virtually immovable unless you greatly expand it.

It’s just malicious design as usual.

Yeah, as soon as it auto-refreshed to the new design, I immediately hit the “Give feedback on the new design” link and expressed my displeasure to the void.

There is nothing I like about the redesign. Nothing. Everything about it makes the experience worse, and it looks like they threw widgets in a bag, shook it up, tossed it on a canvas, and they landed where they landed.

Yeah, they borrowed a lot from Trek lore, but thankfully they seem to have left the “badmiral” trope in the cutting room with the transporters. Both of which I appreciate they omitted.

The first time I watched through The Orville, every time one of the admirals was on screen, I was like, “What’s your angle?” and just generally distrustful. Even Victor Garber, you might ask? Especially Victor Garber.

So weird seeing the set so brightly lit. They should have dialed the stage lights down to ‘stun’ for that segment.

I’m mostly optimistic it’ll be reinstated but remain concerned it’ll be yanked away again.

That’s a good point, but if the punishment for NN violation is less than the profit they make for violating it, it’s just a cost of doing business.

Several instances run Mlmym under the old. subdomain. Beehaw and Startrek.website are two examples I can think off of the top of my head.

If you are so inclined, you can host Mlmym yourself and point it to any Lemmy instance you like.

The next episode he has billing in the credits but he’s only mentioned by one character

Wasn’t he playing Kadis-kot with Naomi on video chat in that episode? Granted, it was basically a cameo so your point still stands (unless I’m remembering wrong).

Ah, OK. So I was a bit off ( been a while). I did remember kadiskot but mixed up the episode and who he was playing it with.

How to be less racist/bigotred?

So I am a part of the LGBTQ community and work in a big city in middle europe. A lot of my coworkers are religios and have a foreign background.

It sounds like you’re describing the Paradox of Tolerance.

The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually ceased or destroyed by the intolerant. Karl Popper described it as the seemingly self-contradictory idea that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must retain the right to be intolerant of intolerance.

I don’t really have a good answer other than follow your heart, I guess.

Remote or hybrid workers, would you rather work a 4 day week on site, or WFH completely for 5 days a week, for the same pay?

I know this will vary a lot, so hypothetically let’s say you currently WFH/work remotely at least 3 days a week. Your commute to work takes an hour max (door to door) each way. If you were given the choice of a 4 day week working onsite, or a 5 day week WFH (or as many days as you’d like) for the same pay, which would you...

ptz ,
@ptz@dubvee.org avatar

WFH. Unless I also get paid for commute time. Then, still WFH. Fuck traffic. This way, I’m neither dealing with it nor contributing to it.

Not sure if it’s a trope, per se, but I love finding good covers of my favorite songs in other languages.

Edit: When the lyrics switch into a different language on a breakdown. That’s a trope, right?

Maybe check out Tesseract? It’s a Photon fork and specifically addresses those issues and also supports embedded media.

Do we have a c/RareInsults community yet?

@ptz@dubvee.org avatar

Are we supposed to pick just one, or are those the steps of a process? Cause I see it as a process:

  1. Talk about your feelings, exercise for an hour, and then reward yourself with some chocolate.
  2. Recite a dark spell which allows you to shoot God in the face. Once that’s done, you kiss your cat gently.
  3. Scowl when the cat shuns your affection, make fun of the cat (I hate that cat), and then lie down in the dirt to let the earth reclaim you.
