@obrhoff I feel like it’s somewhat permissible to show something in dark mode when light mode is selected, but to do the opposite… that’s just offensive.

@stairjoke The only place I treat that way is Library. Everything else I made a claim first, so I’ll keep putting my things in them 😅

Goodbye! 👋

@marioguzman You can remove everything after “UI” and your sentence still makes sense 🤡

📷 🇫🇮 20,000 signatures reached! Finland’s digital independence movement grows – join us! 💻

Finland’s citizen initiative for digital independence has hit 20,000 signatures, calling for a shift from U.S. tech giants to European and domestic solutions. This is part of a Europe-wide push for digital sovereignty.

@saaste Mikä fiilis siitä tähän asti? Onko tulkittavissa että se ei ole pitänyt otteessaan vai, kuten ennemmin kuvittelisin, elämässä on vaan ollut kaikenlaista muuta?

My favourite piece of internet today is the theory that Jesus was actually a type of yeast.

Turns water into wine
Floats on water
Makes bread for 5000 people
Put in a cave for 3 days and lo - he has risen!
Jesus was a sourdough starter.

Also this would imply: We should be calling him 'Mother' not 'Father'

Yes, the #EU has a lot of regulations.

But remember that thanks to those regulations you can use a single USB-C cable that can charge anything, rather than 10 different connectors and adapters as it was common until 10-15 years ago.

Remember that it’s thanks to those regulations if you no longer have to pay eye watering roaming fees for calls and data when you travel to other EU countries, as it was common until 5-10 years ago.

Remember that it’s thanks to those regulations if big tech has at least some constraints onto what it can do with your data and how much choice you have as a customer.

Remember that it’s thanks to those regulations if you, as a EU citizen, can benefit from the services of any other embassy of any other EU country if stranded abroad.

Those who try to depict the EU as a bureaucratic hell worth dismantling are those who hate the impact that its laws have on their freedom of exploiting markets, exploiting customers or living out of rent money.

Or those who hate the combined economic and political power of a united Europe with a single market because it threatens their national interests, and they’d rather exert their leverage with a bunch of divided and weaker countries instead.

Europe isn’t perfect and a lot can be improved. But those who call for its demise DO NOT talk in your interests.

@stairjoke Interesting. I haven’t made any changes to how I do it in about 20 years and find it still works pretty well for me: if it’s static imagery, it goes in Pictures. If it’s sound, it goes in Music. If it’s moving imagery, it goes under Movies. If none of the above, it goes in Documents. The cloud-backed locations are additive and I only put things in them if I need to share it with someone or need to access it on another device.

@saruwine Se kun törmää tähän ensimmäisen kerran ja ensimmäinen tunne on epäuskoisuus, tyyliin ”mitä ihmettä, jotkut juttelevat tästä [pienen piirin juttu] suomeksi… hetkinen, enkös minä just lukenu tämän tismalleen saman ketjun englanniksi 🧐”

Raivostuttava toiminto kerta kaikkiaan.

Nobody gives a shit anymore about anything.

It’s fine to post absolute tripe like this on a corporate website.

It’s fine to post quotes that were never said in a newspaper.

It’s fine to reference science that doesn’t exist in scientific papers.

It’s fine to commit code that was never checked to software.

It’s fine to post music that no one made.

It’s fine to share videos of things that never happened.

It’s fine to steal, lie and scam people.

All of this is hyped and cheered on by governments, organizations, businesses and individuals.

What in the fucking fuck is wrong with everybody?

@marioguzman The Music app is undoubtedly the biggest loser of the redesign. None of its UI changes make it a better experience. I hate looking at it and I hate using it.

Here's a thought experiment.

Imagine a stamp mark with the words "Made with #AI" on it.

If you see this mark on a picture, illustration, mobile app, song, movie, or story - do you get the notion that this product is of higher, lower or unchanged quality?

If you see two identical products for the same price, where one has an AI mark and the other doesn't - which one would you buy?

The reason I started making computer wallpapers is that I wanted clean “surfaces” that felt sufficiently in-universe for pop-culture things I love, rather than character collages that were once provided as *official* wallpapers.

Over the years, I’ve kept finding what evokes the universe that also works as actual *backgrounds*, usually with lowish contrast so they aren’t distracting.

Take a scroll. And if you have enjoyed them, consider a donation!

@apzpins I'll have a look at it next time I'm in the same country with the game... and then probably do the same thing as you did. It looks very neat.

How was printing ASA in open air, in terms of smell/fumes? I have a spool of it but have so far never dared to try it. Now with the C1+ I have an enclosed printer but still been under the impression one should have an exhaust air filter on it.

@apzpins Mine has like a 1 cm piece of yellow hose around this part doing... mayyybe the same thing? Looking at your pictures I'm not quite sure anymore. It was something one of the previous owners put on and I haven't touched, since it has worked great 😅
