@Michcioperz If nothing else, it really teaches you to hate the mainstream way of development, which I think is an important part of having a CS degree :blobcatsip:
@minty_da I'm normally very scared of bees (not you), so I don't really know why I opened that CW, but that is a really fluffy bee. Almost not scary :blobcatsurprised:
just so there is no misunderstandings, i just want to clarify that :joulutorttu: is supposed to be a pastry, not a swastika. even though it does not look remotely like a swastika, some have displayed this confusion in the past.
it is part of the finmoji set, which are a government-commissioned public domain emoji set. they were included in Pleroma for use in the test suite.
@dratini0 Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I was surprised by the difference narrowing makes as well, I suppose there is a lot of wisdom in the newspapers' thinking of putting text into narrow columns rather than wide ones.
Wrote an alternative stylesheet for my personal site that's like, basically no CSS at all, just a bit of layout and very very small styling changes.
And I kinda think it looks better than the original CSS :thinkinglayton: I think this confirms I should never design webpages (either because I think no CSS is better, or because my CSS is worse than nothing at all).
If you're on a browser that supports switching stylesheets, I'd like some outside opinions 😅 https://neon.moe
@sa2tms I played Pillars of Eternity for ~10 hours, I think it's in the same category. Seemed good, I just kinda never returned to it after taking a break. Should open it up again some day.
@sa2tms I'm young and used to shiny 3D graphics, so I unfortunately find the older rpgs quite hard to approach. I sometimes can get into them, the latest being Torment 😄 Haven't gotten super far into it though.
I just realized, that actually quite a few of my games have been inspired by anime. And I haven't watched good anime in a long while. And I haven't made good games in a long while.
RelMeAuth/IndieAuth seems cool. The option of authenticating with a domain + PGP key really tickles my decentralization bone. Of course DNS is not completely decentralized, but in the context of the modern web, this seems real interesting.
Also, I very much like how the user can choose whether they want to trust any specific authentication provider. Twitter's auth or your own private key, and everything in between works in a singular login system. Seems like a neat package.
To me, the thing that exemplifies "work smarter, not harder" is the Fallout 3 train hat - instead of creating an entirely new system for a train, they just have an NPC wearing a hat which is an entire train, hidden under the floor and running very quickly.
It's absurd, and someone could have spent a lot of time and effort on a new system to get the the same result in a less absurd way. But this works, so why not?
So my new motto is, "don't be afraid to wear a train as a hat."
@takelgryph Fair enough. I do wonder if they take space from the oppressed in reality though; if someone's social sphere consists of centrists, they probably were either going to hear a no-sides stance or no political commentary at all. Where would a centrist see or hear the agony of others? Like I agree with the point, but I'm trying to find a setting where it would apply.
