Here’s a very horny variant of this idea (no idea how it counts as SFW by Youtube standards)

Ain’t is just a shifted dialectal pronunciation of aren’t

I’ve just tried it out on “All” and basically the entire first page is filled with one user’s posts to !visualarts@lemmy.dbzer0.com :/

Why would investors care about whether he’s bullshitting either, if he’s making them money? They just have to sell before it all tanks.

These memes about required specs make Linux look like its primary userbase are bums.

Yeah, nobody in their right mind could tolerate all this pay to play bullshit.

Bone hurting juice when the bone healing gun shows up:

Lemmy is developed by two (2) people and asking for one of them to leave is effectively just killing the project. If you don’t like it, you can move to an alternative such as PieFed.

Personally, I can’t make myself care about this too much. It’s a doshit take (somewhat understandable considering the guy’s background), but it was publicised over a year ago, he hasn’t said this sort of crap since then*, and Dessalines’ whiteknighting for Russia is IMO way more of an issue morally and politically. But at the end of the day the question is whether Lemmy works fine for you or not and whether the admins’ opinions harm your experience. I don’t think they do, Dessalines bans criticism on his turf but it’s just a handful of communities, while the devs are still providing the infrastructure for diametrically opposed views and communities.

*edit 5 days later: apparently he has posted this quasi-apology in the meantime

What surprises me isn’t that AI failed, what surprises me is that Zuckerberg believes in his own hyping of AI so much he had the confidence to try to do this at all, live, unstaged. Is this courage, honesty, stupidity, hubris?

The most favourable explanation I can think of is that they tried it out ahead of the presentation, it worked well enough, so they trusted it could be repeated.

to those who downvoted, why?

Because of this part:

they must be an only child or have siblings within that age as well, otherwise the interests are not overlapping enough to spend time together

what would they be?

This is more or less everything I know about how image formats work.

It’s not 2015, we don’t need any more of those deep fried memes.

Do the traditional JPG vs PNG usage “rules” apply to AVIF and JPEG XL?

I guess it’s Windows users with the default image viewer. IrfanView on W10 handles webp fine for me.

Strong Ivan Bilibin vibes (but apparently it’s by an another Russian artist, Ernest Lissner).

But you mean the short cut screen right?

I mean the default new tab, with the logo, search bar (which I removed because I can just search from the URL bar), and the quick links that automatically get populated with your most visited sites.

Btw an another user posted a solution, turns out removing it through CSS isn’t that complicated (when a stranger provides you with the code, at least).

The CSS solution worked, thank you! And that guide was useful, now I’ll have to toy with the CSS elsewhere too… :D

(The config you mention in the edit doesn’t seem to work, however.)

I tried out one of the extensions (Tabliss) the last time they forefully changed the new tab orgnisation, and it seemed pretty good, but it loaded somewhat slower than the built-in new tab, so I’d really prefer to just modify the default new tab instead of switching…

Maybe I could try making my own html and see how that works.

Why are you caring about what is in a new tab?

You’re making it sound like “new tab” isn’t a thing one uses a lot? I have a bunch of shortcuts there and it’s stupid that area that could be used on them is wasted on something so useless. Admittedly this variant is better than the previous attempts to force the logo there that I had reverted (twice), because those were really dogshit - reducing the size of the shortcuts and/or pushing them down outside of the screen - and now at least everything fits on one screen, and the shortcuts are less reduced, though they used to be bigger.

Actually I guess I want to revert to the old style entirely. Big shortcuts, no logo (or an easily removable logo).

you could remove the logo from the source code and compile it your self. Or you could create a custom css template (I think)

Sadly I’m not competent enough to do either of these, I have no idea how CSS could affect this or be applied, and removing it from the source and recompiling sounds like killing a fly with a cannon.
