This is a good take.

Speaking from the same neutral pragmatism, it makes sense to let the default Lemmy web UI be a lightweight, actually-mobile-friendly derivative of old.reddit, rather than a more committed default like Alexandrite or Photon.

Keeping things similar is a good jumping-off point, and if we do want to make some large change, different generations and cultures have heavily varying default preferences. Wouldn’t it be wiser to pick a common ground, something these differing peoples have grown used to, as opposed to some new style A or B or C likes?

(Fun fact: if you think that ppl sticking to old designs is silly, Panasonic has a whole $$ niche in Japan selling modern-internal, vintage-external laptops with DVD drives and old-style keyboards. https://old.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/v0t06p literally has both a VGA and a thunderbolt lol)

Vulkan Forge is such a name, I’m surprised no software has taken it

I always enjoy looking into what other people are doing with their smaller (but 100+ views) websites, thanks for posting.

Usually “this is a good website” websites are pretty text-heavy with the occasional picture. These sites only need HTML anyway and frequently say “you only need HTML anyway”.
Although the linked webpage – a debatable list of opinions (e.g. Cloudflare privacy is hotly contested by people with at least as much credibility as the author) – is an example of this, I was pleasantly surprised by the national grid map under /data and the use of math rendering, which at least surpass the complexity of writing a HTML 1.1 compliant site.

The use of CC0 is a variable choice – some want their work to be more forcibly public, but I guess I see her viewpoint.

As for her gripe on the opacity of code minification, I can’t say I understand that. Just make your site source code open and obvious to remake, as she did with grid. It’s the same result, but with the added benefit of less JS bytes for when you do do something more complex.

Cool I guess. Dark mode is broken on darkreader on this site tho.

Charm of Kingsoul (rare):
=> No cost too great:
   User mana slowly refills
   while using an
   uncommon init system.
   Buffs from charm of
   systemd become negative.
=> No mind to think: Charm
   uses 5 inventory slots, but
   gives +1 WIS on wisdom saves
=> No will to break: User can
   choose to sacrifice charm
   and obtain Void Heart.

Don’t worry, I’m kind of ignorant on it too! But it’s fun :)

Bowl of Rice (uncommon, consumable)
=> Funroll loop: When eaten,
   options apply for ten turns
=> Config hell: User is a survivor
   of config hell. -2 dexterity and
   +1 int until the next rest.
   Attunement-based items
   increase stat options by +1
   each in exchange for -2 CON each.
=> Screenshot: +1 CHA when a
   photograph is taken
=> Form over function: User is drawn
   to rainbow pastel. -2 on WIS checks

Price of armor x ﹏ x

Maybe another stat, if I may join you –

=> Brand o' The Wiki:
   After 100 hours in the wiki, every
   hundred words uttered must
   either include RTFM or the
   acronym of this debuff. Wears
   off when near natural vegetation

Reminds us of all the little run-ins…

The Double D (common)

• Active: Chant to erase a small space into nothingness. Inventory disappears if you slightly mispronounce (nat20 < 2)
• Passive: Keychains are easier to prepare.

I don’t know why you were downvoted, but without being judgmental, you remind me of a certain someone when they were starting out on the ropes ;)

If I had to surmise, you’re young and unsure of your skills. What should I do? I used to think. Is there a canon I should be following? I feel inefficient, like I code too long! Maybe I should use this language instead?

And then I just gave up on tutorials and books and all that, and just bit down on… solving problems that I “made up”. And I don’t mean HackerRank whiteboard problems or turning buttons blue.

• I had 50 million bookmarks – I made a Python tree view to comb through it all.
• I wanted to share pirated books with my old phone – I made a teeny Python server (thanks, docs!).
• I wanted to argue with my math teacher – I made a Python stats sim. (I was wrong.)
• Installed Linux on my spare dino computer. (LMAO Lemmy moment. But seriously there’s so many problems to invent and solve – after some time, Linux is playing on easy mode)

My pets never got past 500 lines of code. But when little me saw I wrote 500 with my own sweat and tears and StackOverflow army, I beamed – and it was very beam-worthy.

Don’t fall into tutorial hell. Know the basic eight or ten things (how to store values, how to store procedures, how to store groups of each, how to interact with user/net/system) – and try to grab a real something, not easy but not too hard, and with fun before the work. Don’t belittle yourself. Find a rewarding fun both during and after the play – is it automation? a cutesy thing? It needs to pay to keep you playing.

Hell, try using a whole Astro blog, or a C game that you can WASD in. Languages are just tools for jobs – it’s not how many you know but how well you know one. Because once you know one…

If you even read this, downvote iff this was patronizing or totally wrong. I don’t know why I got this impulse.

Not fixed yet. People either quit, decided their threat model would allow Ventoy’s shellscripts to git-commit bins, or built it from source (i.e. PKGBUILD or ebuild).

I’ll give some anecdotes.

1. A friend long ago was setting up VSCode and Java. He wasn’t the most familiar with Ubuntu, or Linux at all – imagine his struggle when his JDK couldn’t be found. Why? Non-obvious to him, it was sandboxed as a snap.
2. When I was a noob, I was looking for a package for some app, but when I found a PPA, it was an enormous command to set up. And hunting online for software… how Windowsy.
3. When I was a noob, I was theming my system with a mildly rare theme. But Firefox was a snap. And since the theme didn’t have a snap, I had to try to integrate it myself or de-snap Firefox… shiver

Maybe it’s changed now. But (1) pushed me to Mint, (2) pushed me further to distros with simpler text-based package management, and (3) is hopefully easier nowadays.

Bottom line (as many agree): Snaps are uncomfortable for a lot of levels of Linux.

Conky? A window with stats on it?

I’m pretty sure you can spin anything like the sort with ags. Takes some legwork though (bit of TypeScript or Lua). Then just set the layer to something near the bottom and put it on every monitor, skabing, shaboom.

Sure, but GPL would prevent the Chrome tracking addons and other pleasant closed-source paraphernalia (the difference between Chrome and Chromium)

Yeah, you’re completely right. Microsoft Teams refers to multiple communications platforms, not just one. Wikipedia and Microsoft themselves made the same mistake as OP here. Hope you can help!

( ¬_¬)

You probably already know, but scheme artists avoid pure #000000 out of contrast concerns. (e.g. DarkReader can give some headaches if the background is straight black with offwhite text). That makes a #000000 scheme very rare - manual intervention required :P

If you still wanna get crackin’, just tweak a preexisting dark theme and change navies/greys to black. And if you’re talking about the palette instead of actual themes to install, this still works – just check the source for whatever colors they’re using and tweak those. (grep for hexes then sort uniq? shell exercise is left to the reader)

I’d recommend taking one of vinceliuice’s themes and just turning navy blues into blacks. For example, Graphite-gtk (has a matching qt theme) is pretty grey even with a --black tweak, but you could blacken it with some effort. Same with Colloid-gtk (also has a --black tweak).

You could probably even blackify the KDE theme’s greys if you so fancied, but then you’d need to tune down the contrast on the other colors in the set. And this and that…

If this is too inexact an answer, then ouch. I wish you luck!
