Once again, one of the very rare few areas where ai isn’t a completely shitty solution: tasks that are worthwhile and important, but that require labor no one is willing to pay for.

Others include translation, transcription, and image descriptions. Things people won’t put resources into but that should happen anyway

The only problem is that these have nothing to do with why massive companies are investing in this tech. If AI didn’t enable the equivalent of money laundering for intellectual labor, the billionaires wouldn’t give a shit

That looks awesome! I’m deeply nostalgic for that period of time, material design was the big thing when I was first getting into UI design and I was absolutely in love with it

Klwp and Kwgt are still a blast, that’s what almost all of my stuff is made out of, but iOS has its pros as well :) from what I hear things are progressively getting a little more customizable, if still pretty locked down

At some point I’d like to get a little better at animations so I can make my setup feel a little more alive, but for the time being it’s mostly just static elements

Lol, I’m somewhat similar. I’m a big ui/ux nerd but don’t have professional or academic experience other than some pro-bono work in high-school. But I love tinkering with my phone’s homesceen and other similar little projects. I’m hoping to make a neocites page soon!

This is my previous phone’s homescreen I posted a while back:

I’ve gotten a new phone since then and am still getting it updated to fit properly on a new screen, so right now it looks a little jank 😅 but it’s always interesting to hear how other people feel differently about aesthetics than yourself!

Interesting, thanks for sharing your perspective with me! ☺️

I’m curious how you feel about the GNOME application icons, they sound like they might be up your alley

Right now I generally have a preference for either weird stylized themed stuff I make myself, or very flat stuff like what android currently does for app icons, but I can certainly see the appeal of other stuff :)

I really like the application icons used in Gnome but I really like the consistent line weights and geometry of material symbolic icons so I’m still using a material icon pack on gnome

Edit: Here’s a picture I grabbed of icons done in the adwaita style Gnome uses in case you don’t use linux and aren’t familiar with them. Its not a full sampling, but you get the idea :)

Thank you for correcting me, I was mistaken.

If I understand corectly, he was appointed Chancellor by the Paul Von Hindenberg who won the 1932 election that Hitler had also run in, and rose to power as the successor to von Hindenburg after Hindenburg died in 1934

I’ve edited my original comment

Interesting, that wasn’t my understanding, looks like I need to go learn some more about that and see if I was mistaken

Thanks :)

Personally I don’t, I kinda hate old skeuomorphism 😅

Neo skeuomorphism has some neat novelty though.

Edit: this is just my personal aesthetic preference, I don’t begrudge anyone their love of skeuomorphism, or nostalgia for it.

Lol, thats a whole lot of scrolling on my mobile client 😅

Not the person you replied to-

I don’t follow why it would be necessary, would you mind expanding on why its needed for decentralized interaction to function the way users would expect?

(Also I recognize that might be a huge can of worms, if you do mind thats perfectly understandable. You seem more knowledgable than myself and its an issue I’m very curious about, so it seemed worth asking :)

The problem is partially that bluesky isn’t really the Fediverse. It doesn’t use the standard, and isn’t truly interoperable. Accounts can be bridged, but that’s a hacky workaround, not actual intercompatibility.

And threads is run by a company whose human rights violations would take a week just to read out loud.

The idea that the specific platform doesn’t matter isn’t a blanket statement, it’s a description of being interoperable, nothing more. Bluesky isn’t truly interoperable, and threads is run by Meta who facilitated ethnic cleansing, mass rape, and the burning of whole villages in Myanmar despite countless explicit warnings that these things would happen if they didn’t take safety measures (not to mention all the other garbage Meta has done or enabled)

Edit: I was mistaken that Hitler was elected, thank you to Sem who corrected me below. Hitler ran for office but lost, and was appointed to chancellor by the winner Paul von Hindenburg. When von Hindenberg died a year after Hitler was appointed to chancellor, Hitler succeeded him and abolished the office of president and declared himself Furher und Reichskanzler

I think it’s pretty important that people are willing to grapple with the fact that people will gladly buy into hatred and fascism when a charismatic populist sells it to them as the ails of their people.

Hitler was elected*. If we want to avoid the mistakes of the past, we have to be willing to confront the reality of how they happened in the first place. Hitler spoke to real fears and anxieties people had, and promised things they truly wanted, like a great nation they could take national pride in once again.

Good! Much as I begrudge apple as a company, I’m glad users are still finding ways to upgrade and maintain the tech they use

Interesting, thank you for expanding on how the spam issue has happened.

I’d not heard of MRFs before, from some searching around it would seem its a Markov Random Field model (in case anyone sees this and also didn’t know what it was)

Judging people for their demographic because you associate that demographic with behavior you find unacceptable is dumb

Your judgement is with the behaviour, not the demographic. If you wanna criticize religion’s tendency to advocate cruelty towards queer folks that’s a point worth fighting for, but painting an entire group with the same brush and treating an individual with hostility based on how you perceive others from that demographic is dumb.

That’s the same logic bigotry is often cut from.

Edit: corrected “other” to “others”

I don’t have a need for this sort of community, but if you want a queer theists comm you should try making one. Though there may not be enough folks to sustain it; here on lemmy there often just aren’t enough people to sustain small niche communities because if there aren’t posts, nothing shows up on people’s feed, and people forget the community exists. Which is a challenge since most people just lurk and don’t post.

As an atheist myself I really don’t see why so many people have decided to attack you for your way of relating to the world, unless there’s some context I’m missing. The important thing is that you’re kind, not whether you think there’s a god or not.

Judging people for their demographic like what religion they subscribe to rather than how they treat people is stupid. If you’re a dick you’re a dick, and if you’re not a dick you’re not. It’s not complicated.

I don’t give a shit if someone is religious, I give a shit if you’re kind. My apologies for the shitty attitude of replies in this thread OP

Its worth knowing that lamps are bad for moths, they think nighttime light sources are the moon which they use for navigation, and so they get confused and lost

If you wanna help moths, combatting light pollution so they can enjoy the moon is the best thing we can do for them :)

Is there a reason why miskey users organized a distributed spam wave from Mastodon…?

But yeah, miskey is much more popular in Japan, whereas here in the west Mastodon is much more popular

Is it spam, or is it literally just people using the fediverse as intended, coincidentally in a language you don’t speak? Folks who speak a language other than english aren’t less welcome in the fediverse.

If it’s an issue because it’s drowning out all the stuff you can read and engage with, I think you can set a Mastodon account so you only see posts in a certain language. Other platforms may have similar settings

Damn, they got some cake. And a whole lotta thighs 😅

Cute character design!
