  • the "risk" of false positives comes down to the consequence. if the consequence is being stuck in the slammer, don't use ai. if the consequence is you can't upload the image unless you manually appeal, or even maybe have to use an external image host; i think ai is fine

  • ah okay, i see. i will endeavor to do so then

  • oh of course - sorry, i forgot you could only mod someone who comments.. i've commented under my latest post

    might i ask why it would be preferable though? i have nothing against l.w (i was very happy w/ just a l.w acct.) but i moved to lemm.ee because i felt it better for the health of the fediverse? surely it's better to spread the load?

  • yeah, i liked the soft & friendly kde cursors.

    not sure about the colours either, but that might be because they've changed from the portal colours to the portal beta colours. i never thought of them as portal themed before, but now i can't unsee it

  • bangs are invaluable, and the main reason i stick with ddg. having !w and !pcgw just instantly take me to the right page is great

  • yeah, that's basically when i play most aaa games - when the mood takes me, but mostly ~10 years old. i've just recently finally played wofenstein new order, followed by the tomb raider legend trilogy (they're really short), and i've now started on the tomb raider survivor trilogy

    indie games i tend to play a bit sooner; partly because they're cheaper and partly because i feel they're more likely to use (and need) the money to make more games. although the last indie game i played was fez, and the dev of that has quit completely...

  • as a way to search inside communities: https://www.search-lemmy.com/ is in early development but it works surprisingly well usually

  • inline apng's work, but i could only make my profile picture work with webp, not gif or png. have you tried that?

  • ideally, [email protected]](/c/[email protected]) - that way the link works for everyone. howevery, the web interface does this automatically if you start typing !community

  • slide had a "similar" thing, so slide for lemmy probably will; but it's in very early development and that feature doesn't yet work

    edit: never mind, i just saw your comments on that sub so i guess you already knew about it

  • may i introduce you to...

    (other free site hosts are available,[^1] but neocities is very much based around the spirit of geocities/angelfire)

    [^1]: i myself use github pages

  • i say /fɛdˈɪəː/
    \ hope this helps!

  • like grenadier or bombardier, i guess?

  • sublemmy is cute, trips off the tongue, and can be shortened to sub. community is more awkward to say, and shortens to comm or commie. c/ (cee-slash?) is just awful. until someone suggests something better (lemmons? lemmunities?) i'm going to keep using sublemmy


    edit 2023-07-17. i have settled on lemmysphere. it is a pun, and i like it

  • meh, i'd say they're obviously buttons from context (why would a calculator app just have a bunch of random unclickable symbols?). but assuming they don't immediately read to you as buttons; md3 calc app only has 8 buttons: AC, (), %, ÷, ×, -, +, & =. the rest is just exactly the same mess of text randomly laid out edit 2023-08-03: i have now looked at this image on a better calibrated monitor. the numbers actually do have background circles (why did no-one pick me up on this). however, this does prove my point about the complete lack of any contrast on anything

    having areas is good as it allows the eye to do a sort of binary search: if i want a scientific function i'll look in the white on blue, operators in blue on white, numbers in black on white; then search for the exact button i want. without that, everything's an unorganised mess (for instance why are brackets in the same section as operators?), with some functions hidden in the v button at the top right

    also i've just noticed - how do the brackets work in md3? do you have to tap the button once to bring up a menu and then tap the bracket you want? or does it automatically insert one based on whether you're inside a set? if it's the latter, how does one do nested brackets?

  • i wouldn't even mind the colours if they didn't tint the background. tinting solely the main text colour and the main buttons might look quite nice. to be honest though, i just loathe pastel colours in general, so it's possible that's influencing my opinion

  • personal opinion, i think padding is worse for delineating objects than a bit of colour; or just, like, a line. look at this example - there are four distinct segments on the left, whereas on the right they all merge into one and a half

    padding is really useful, yes, but if you put padding on everything then what's there to be separated?
