we’ve got monitor edge barriers! the feature i missed most from windows is here i’m so pleased!

i doubt it, i don’t see why an icon pack would have a systemd service. probably something to do with moonlight [nvidia]

still, thank you for introducing me to a new* icon pack

I have to say I like this one

kde can still look like that too:

i really hope oxygen does get ported to plasma 6, and not dropped like the air theme has been

i must say though, as much as i prefer the look of light themes usually, i think dark themes are objectively^[1] better unless you’re in bright sunlight: images and video aren’t affected by themes, so dark themes put the focus on the media, whereas light themes can wash them out

for some reason it doesn’t become a link like the !imaginarytrains@lemm.ee syntax does (although it does in most apps), but it does notify the recipient (the first syntax, including both @'s)

not entirely on topic, but you might like search-lemmy.com/

i’m glad i could be helpful - i realise federated social networks are a bit of a paradigm shift, so feel free to ask me if you have any other questions (although i probably won’t have any answers)

your particular instance (jlai.lu) has defederated from lemmynsfw (though oddly not pornlemmy.com); so you won’t see any communities, posts, or comments from their users

you can check the federated and defederated instances before you sign up by clicking the “instances” link at the bottom of the page, then scrolling all the way down to the “blocked” section

as to why you can’t sign into your lemmynsfw acct.: i don’t know. possibly because they’re running a patched backend? it may be worth a bug report

thank you for reminding me of this; it’s so great and i’d completely forgotten about it

i’m still subscribed to him on youtube, even though it’s been 7 years

well that’s better than i expected^[1]. thank you for answering!

just out of interest db0, did this thread in any way change your opinion on webp?^[1] i’m just constructing a pet theory on internet discussions

(sorry to necro an old thread, and i’m sure you have other things on your plate right now; i’m just interested)

(also completely off-topic; i’m surprised your blog still has the wordpress favicon. i would have thought you of all people would have changed that)

little nightmares 1 & 2 are fantastic, i thoroughly recommend them to anyone; and this looks like it takes some influence from 9

greatly looking forward to this

this looks pretty cool actually, i hadn’t heard of this

also; lemmysphere instance agnostic link: !retrodeck@lemmy.zip

personally, i wouldn’t

but maybe i’m biased

yeah i’m with you there. i understand why programmes do it, a one-off purchase often isn’t enough to support continued development and server costs, but i have never bought one in my life. i actually had bought pocketcasts pro, and then they went subscription only and i immediately moved to antennapod.

topically, sync for lemmy has just released and everyone’s going wild over it. it’s a £16/year subscription. or £2/month…

i’d never noticed how much the twitter logo looks like an upside-down sonic the hedgehog

You’re using an analogy as the basis for an argument. That’s not what analogies are for. Analogies are useful explanatory tools, but only within a limited domain

actually that’s exactly what i was using it for.

Kicking a baby is not the same^[1] as creating an artwork, so there are areas in which they don’t map to each other.

if you read carefully, you’ll see that writing is analogous to creating an artwork, and kicking a baby is analogous to doing something that someone has asked you not to, and you’re continuing anyways. if you read even more carefully, you’ll see that i implied i wasn’t making a moral comment on ai, piracy, or even kicking babies

You can’t dodge flaws in your argument by adding a “don’t respond unless you agree with me” clause on your comment.

i didn’t intend to. i did it so i wouldn’t have to waste my time arguing with those who don’t understand analogies. however i seem to be doing that anyways, so if you’ll excuse me, i’m going to stop

edit: okay, i’ve been reading the rest of this thread, and you clearly don’t understand analogy. i have no idea why you clicked on my comment

did you click the thing saying that you understand analogies?

Are you really surprised I’m replying to you when you keep replying?

well yes, actually. i have time to sit down over breakfast, read a few articles, maybe reply to a few comments

you clearly live such a busy lifestyle you haven’t time to read an article before making an asinine comment

And yes, you are merely confirming my point. There is no use for me personally. I would only have to use it and endure slower internet so that others benefit. Still doesn’t change the fact that for me personally there is no advantage. You can argue all you want but that’s what it comes down to for most people.

well that’s a pretty fuckin stupid viewpoint in my opinion. “i’m not going to help protect the careers and possibly lives of people in authoritarian countries, because i’d have to install a programme and possibly even launch it a couple of times per month”. running folding@home did me no advantage, i still did it.

And if you keep replying I’ll keep replying. No need to be surprised about that.

don’t worry, i won’t be. i was being flippant because i thought you an idiot, but it turns out you’re willfully ignorant.

i’m not making a moral comment on anything, including piracy. i’m saying “but it’s part of my established workflow” is not an excuse for something morally wrong.
