Pretty interesting. The series of posts involves dave plummer and adam neely, who I never expected to see in the same context.

I saw it once for whatever reaaon. What I remember is that it looks like lazy town but then someone pulls a real gun and starts blasting real bullet holes. Some goon also got his finger bitten off.

Almost makes me wish they still had steve ballmer doing his thing. Would've been some good spice for the video.

This is a place to post limited-time giveaways of full video games that are then yours to keep forever at no cost.

Included free with Prime

So I'll get it "free" if I start paying amazon a monthly subscription. I'd rather pay for the game directly.

I too have made the mistake of flipping an if statement. It was clearly supposed to happen to non-HP cartridges.

Who runs a malicious spam campaign with their own name and face? If the pictures are stolen, setting up a whole meme community is kind of a shit thing to do.

ProStreet got ignored in my circles because it was different, but maybe it was a mistake, that looks fun.

She's actually the real spammer?

I just learned about this cool PC case a couple days ago (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqyQeCbq4YA&t=221s), and I kinda want it over my boring aluminium and glass box. I like both the idea of an old looking sleeper and the horizontal pizza box form factor (or pizza box adjacent as it's whole 4U thick).

So I started thinking about possibilities. The FLP01 is just an off-white version of silverstone's normal HTPC case with a different front panel. So what if I got the case and modded it in a similar manner?

Oversized playstation, a very rough sketch.

I could 3D print this, and probably post-process the surface finish to look as if it were legit. It will probably go nowhere as I can't justify buying a new case just for fun, but I wanted to share this thought anyway.

Hi, I tried a new Lemmy app yesterday. I was already kind of annoyed by different sort icons when using Photon and Voyager, but something snapped when I opened the menu in Interstellar. The third meaning of this arrow was too much.

Voyager Photon Interstellar

Here's a table of all sort icons:

Some of these differences I'm okay with, like controversial sort, but others not so much. Especially when the same icon is used for different things. The symbols become useless if the meaning is different in every ui. I guess because Lemmy-UI doesn't use icons for sorting, other devs just picked something in isolation.

So, my solution is to build a reference icon set that apps / frontends would loosely follow. This could then be added to Lemmy documentation. Any thoughts?

My ideas so far:

  • Hot: fire. rocket is also pretty descriptive, as the post is just taking off.
  • Active: It's Active Discussion, so speech bubbles?
  • Controversial: Anything negative or conflict
  • New: leaf, sprout
  • Old: clock, hourglass
  • Scaled: I don't like the scale icon, but it's still better than random.
  • Most comments: Multiple speech bubbles?
  • New comments: Single speech bubble? I like the unread dot in interstellar.
  • Top: trophy, medal, podium

This post was kinda lemmy-specific, but I'm posting to the generic /c/fediverse since other platforms could have similar issues, and extra perspectives don't hurt.

Menin tilaamaan kirjan. Matkahuolto toimittikin paketin valitun kaupan kassan sijasta vähän matkan päässä sijaitsevaan automaattiin. No, mikäs siinä, ei matka paljoo kasva. Automaatin edessä tarkastelen tekstiviestiä vähän tarkemmin. Ei lokerokoodia, pelkkä käsky asentaa joku appi puhelimeen. No en asenna. Tarkastan sähköpostin, sama sisältö. Matkahuoltolaiset meni näköjään keksimään takuuvarman keinon kasvattaa käyttäjämäärää: asenna appi tai paketti jää saamatta. Perkele.

Panttivankitilanteen pakottamana asennan Matkahuolto Paketit-sovelluksen. Eijjumalauta, appi aukeaa rekisteröitymislomakkeeseen. Vitutus kasvaa odotellessa sähköpostin vahvistuslinkkiä ulkona noin viiden minuutin ajan. Sovellus kaatui kerran, mutta hyväksyttyäni tietojen jakamisen saan paketin ulos. Keskimäärin 1,6 tähden arvosteluissa joku sanoi, että soittamalla maksulliseen palvelunumeroon voi pyytää paketin siirtoa muualle.

Vastoin Matkahuollon mainoslausetta "Ei tehdä tästä pakettisovelluksesta nyt mitään numeroa," aion heittäytyä mahdollisimman vittumaiseksi asian kanssa. Tämmönen bait-and-switch menettely ei kai edes ole laillista.

Edit: Tili poistettu, tein pakettisovelluksesta numeron kuluttaja-asiamiehelle. Pitäiskö vielä varmistaa, että tiedot poistetaan GDPR:n mukaisesti.

HV koko ~~postin~~ matkahuollon väki.
