  • What's an unpopular UI opinion you have?

    Jump

  • I didn't know that was a standard until I started working in UIs. It's great when you know, but it's a clear sign that the standard isn't clear enough when everyday users don't realize.

  • Which of your most fucked up exes tried to come back to your life in the most fucked up way?

    Jump

  • Insufferable on Lemmy?

  • What was it like to live through the downfall of authoritarianism in the 70s-80s?

  • No love for acid rain?

  • Gmail can read your emails and attachments to train its AI, unless you opt out

    Jump

  • We’ve updated this article after realising we contributed to a perfect storm of misunderstanding around a recent change in the wording and placement of Gmail’s smart features. The settings themselves aren’t new, but the way Google recently rewrote and surfaced them led a lot of people (including us) to believe Gmail content might be used to train Google’s AI models, and that users were being opted in automatically. After taking a closer look at Google’s documentation and reviewing other reporting, that doesn’t appear to be the case.

    lol

  • Does anyone have experience cutting their own hair? Should I cut my own hair?

    Jump

  • Go for it!

    I do something similar a couple days a week. It looks just as good as a similar cut I'd get from a barber.

  • Abandonware of the web: do you know that there is an HTML tables API?

    Jump

  • I think the article is saying that you can use a specialized API for client side rendering, rather than createElement() - which doesn't seem all that different tbh.

  • When you were little, did your parents hold your hands? Did you feel comfortable with it? Did you feel embarassed by it?

    Jump

  • I held my parents hands when we were in crowded places. Until I accidentally grabbed some random woman's hand and felt really awkward. I probably stopped around age 7.

    I love holding my kids hands. They're big enough that I don't think I'll get to hold my elder son's hand again, and I might get to hold my little guy's hand a few more times. Here's hoping.

  • Do you actually read documentation, or just search it when you’re stuck?

    Jump

  • If it's readable and well organized, I read it. I did the vim tutorial because it was very easy to run through. Ditto for some of the Android lifecycle docs.

    But there are a lot of bad docs out there.

  • What is your favorite way to browse lemmy?

    Jump

  • All, new

    I need content

  • How did Gen X/Millennials failed at tackling the political issues they criticised in the 90's

    Jump

  • We're not monolithic. No generation is. Those movies were kinda popular, but they found their success with a subset of the generation, not the entire group.

    Just like every other generation, when we're relatively comfortable (or exhausted from daily survival), we don't have time to foment revolution.

  • Whats the worst game mechanic?

    Jump

  • Crafting. And jumping games.

  • Could the internet go offline? Inside the fragile system holding the modern world together

    Jump

  • This post has a lot of serious answers to what is essentially a "no":

    In the UK, there is a non-virtual contingency plan, or at least there was. If the internet shuts down, the people who know how it works will meet up in a pub outside London and decide what to do, says Murdoch.

    “I don’t know if this is still the case. It was quite a few years ago and I was never told which pub it was.”

    Serious Question for Tech Enthusiasts: What's the best price you think a Flipper Zero is "worth" before you buy it?

    Jump

  • Eh. I'd put it at $20. It's a fun novelty, but it's not something most people would get much value from. Okay, me. It's not something I'd get much value from.

  • So I have this ThinkPad L440, what animegirl should I use as the wallpaper?

    Jump

  • Lum would be a nice nod to the classics.

  • What do you still use reddit for?

    Jump

  • About a million people.

  • What do you still use reddit for?

    Jump

  • News about my city. TTRPGs. Home repair.

    I've tried to kick up conversation in appropriate communities here, but I don't get comments.

  • What is your favorite version of FTL in science fiction?

    Jump

  • I think it worked so well because they'd spent two or three seasons not doing that.

  • Driven out by J. L. Westover

    Jump

  • Probably isn't even going to pay for gas

  • Sea legs [Danby Draws]

    Jump

  • yeah, that's terrifying
