THATS A FUCKING EXCELENT FACT.

Thank you for blessing me with this knowledge

The pixelfed app is in beta, but you can use it. In my experience it’s pretty unstable right now

https://pixelfed.org/mobile-apps

Edit: figured I should mention, I just use pixeldroid right now which is less unstable https://f-droid.org/packages/org.pixeldroid.app/

Thats genuinely amazing. The OSM community doesn’t care if what you built is dumb, they just care if it’s on the map

Props to them

Why in the everliving fuck is that a thing anyone needed? Just go to a gun store and show your ID if needed for fucks sake

We don’t need a new way to buy bullets, we certainly don’t need a vending machine for them, and if we’re getting one anyway it certainly doesn’t need AI, who the fuck dreamt this up and thought it was a good idea??

Love this ❤️

Can’t believe you’d suggest that’s the only way thigh-highs would be good for programming, I’m insulted

Love me some street complete! It’s a great way for me to get out of the house and do stuff even when places are closed, since I’m not awake during the day

You sign in with your OSM account, and then when you add information via street complete your account submits the changes without needing to use the more advanced osm web interface

Once again, one of the very rare few areas where ai isn’t a completely shitty solution: tasks that are worthwhile and important, but that require labor no one is willing to pay for.

Others include translation, transcription, and image descriptions. Things people won’t put resources into but that should happen anyway

The only problem is that these have nothing to do with why massive companies are investing in this tech. If AI didn’t enable the equivalent of money laundering for intellectual labor, the billionaires wouldn’t give a shit

That looks awesome! I’m deeply nostalgic for that period of time, material design was the big thing when I was first getting into UI design and I was absolutely in love with it

Klwp and Kwgt are still a blast, that’s what almost all of my stuff is made out of, but iOS has its pros as well :) from what I hear things are progressively getting a little more customizable, if still pretty locked down

At some point I’d like to get a little better at animations so I can make my setup feel a little more alive, but for the time being it’s mostly just static elements

Lol, I’m somewhat similar. I’m a big ui/ux nerd but don’t have professional or academic experience other than some pro-bono work in high-school. But I love tinkering with my phone’s homesceen and other similar little projects. I’m hoping to make a neocites page soon!

This is my previous phone’s homescreen I posted a while back:

I’ve gotten a new phone since then and am still getting it updated to fit properly on a new screen, so right now it looks a little jank 😅 but it’s always interesting to hear how other people feel differently about aesthetics than yourself!

Interesting, thanks for sharing your perspective with me! ☺️

I’m curious how you feel about the GNOME application icons, they sound like they might be up your alley

Right now I generally have a preference for either weird stylized themed stuff I make myself, or very flat stuff like what android currently does for app icons, but I can certainly see the appeal of other stuff :)

I really like the application icons used in Gnome but I really like the consistent line weights and geometry of material symbolic icons so I’m still using a material icon pack on gnome

Edit: Here’s a picture I grabbed of icons done in the adwaita style Gnome uses in case you don’t use linux and aren’t familiar with them. Its not a full sampling, but you get the idea :)

Personally I don’t, I kinda hate old skeuomorphism 😅

Neo skeuomorphism has some neat novelty though.

Edit: this is just my personal aesthetic preference, I don’t begrudge anyone their love of skeuomorphism, or nostalgia for it.

Lol, thats a whole lot of scrolling on my mobile client 😅

Its worth knowing that lamps are bad for moths, they think nighttime light sources are the moon which they use for navigation, and so they get confused and lost

If you wanna help moths, combatting light pollution so they can enjoy the moon is the best thing we can do for them :)

This might be one of the most tublr things I’ve ever seen in my life. I don’t understand it, but I do recognize it

It’s not quite what you’re describing, but neocities probably has some blog templates you could use. I know there’s a webcomic artist who hosts their webcomic on neocities using a template

But it wouldn’t be a blogging specific platform, and I don’t expect there’d be any way to integrate with ActivityPub

Good luck in your search for the right platform!

For me, it’s just that something about the delivery and setup feel like they communicate I’m about to experience a very different kind of joke, and so the non-sequitur “I’m piss” catches me completely off guard in a way that makes me cackle

I think humor that depends on seting up and then subverting expectations with something dumb or nonsensical is often very hit or miss. But that sense of humor is increasingly popular, especially among gen z

You opt in by following the bridgy fed account for your platform, so for Mastodon that’d be: https://bsky.brid.gy/bsky.brid.gy

There’s one on each platform, and when you follow it it’ll create you a bluesky/mastodon counterpart and send you the link to that bridged account
