As a German, I’d very much like to throw the first stone at AFD-voters. And the second… and third.

Bit of a mess, kinda depressed, and going through a gender identity crisis :3

As a German, I’d very much like to throw the first stone at AFD-voters. And the second… and third.
With how absolutely entrenched the CDU is in our political system, this is about as bad as you could reasonably expect it to be. The CDU is an overall incredibly dominant party and the others are often competing for second place, which the AFD has gotten now. Them actually competing on that level is frankly terrifying.
It’s likely a difference of emotion compared to logic. Emotionally they’d think “Damn it, now we need to check for such a weird specific edge-case, this is so annoying” while logically knowing it’s better the tester caught it.
Oh yeah, that stuff is a pain and automated tests can only go so far. Also I know for me personally I do tend to neglect mobile a little just because I much prefer designing and developing for larger screens, and I doubt I’m the only one, so on mobile more will slip through the cracks when it comes to these tiny changes.
Notably modern browsers can simulate phones, tablets, TVs, really all kinds of screens. I personally use that mode a lot to test the mobile variant, but nearly all bugs are purely CSS-related (at least in my experience) when it comes to a mobile-desktop discrepancy. Either way, for food delivery and stuff like that I’d really expect the devs to develop primarily for mobile, so that’s surprising to hear.
The same Pinkertons that were sent after some guy who grabbed a few Magic the Gathering cards?
Thank you for sharing this! Wouldn’t have known about it without you, time to sign it
One thing I’ve found to be useful is just having my browser clear all cookies upon closing. It’s initially annoying while you set up all your exceptions for commonly used sites so you don’t need to log in again there every time, but afterwards you don’t need to worry too much, because once you close your browser, all the useless cookies are gone.
And as always, there’s an XKCD comic about it https://xkcd.com/806/
I did not use Photoshop particularly long, but I have been using the Affinity Suite both on a pc and a tablet for over a year now and can say it’s definitely quite good. Everything is where you think it should be, the workflow feels very usable with no major learning curve (looking at you, GIMP), and overall the only thing I don’t like about it is its lack of Linux support. I would assume that absolute professionals won’t be able to find everything they like/want, but if you’re reading this, chances are you’re gonna be more than satisfied, if FOSS options don’t quite work for you.
Well, flexbox and grid have different purposes in my opinion/experience. Personally I use grid for “top level” layouts like the layout of the whole site, while I tend to prefer flexbox for layouts inside the grid. Of course that’s just a rule of thumb, there are absolutely cases where this isn’t the best option.
I know you meant this sarcastically, but yes, flex is a good option for centering something. Either that or setting the left and right margins of the element to auto, which is generally even easier.
Basically, if you’re in a flex container use flex, if you’re in a grid use grid, and if neither of those apply set the left and right margins to auto.
I only remember that happening once, but it wasn’t some random super small site, it was Uplay. I think the limit was 14 characters, or maybe 16 I’m not quite sure, but either way it was utterly stupid.
Thigh highs are where it’s at nowadays :3
That site is lovely, thank you!
As I mentioned in the post, my money budget is around 1000€ as a target, but it extends both up and down. I can stretch if needed, but if that’s comically overkill then I’d be happy to go lower. Time budget… not too high, but also not super low. I can certainly spend a day or two setting everything up. Electricity costs are certainly a factor, power prices here were some of the highest globally, even before the extreme increases lately.
Also thanks for the tip of the S3 backup, it’s probably a good idea to have an extra copy of important data off-site, yeah.
Hm, the Shorts algorithm should be generally based on your normal recommendations until you start watching them.
You know, potentially controversial opinion, but I kinda like shorts, since by now the algo has figured out that I like longer documentary-style videos on normal videos, but still get vtuber clips and cute animal videos as shorts.
The original meme template, to my knowledge, was something along the lines of “People be like “Subway sucks”. Bro, you made the sandwich.” and then it was tweaked a little, tweaked a little more, tweaked a little more and we ended up with this and even more absurd versions.
The best thing about this is that finally you don’t have to click on every post anymore. I don’t know if I’m the only one who found it insufferable, but the amount of times I accidentally opened a link while trying to see an image because both look near identical and you can’t see the image without clicking on it drove me nuts.
There are feet in the camera’s face within… eight seconds. I’m surprised, but I can’t say I’m shocked.
Aside from that, it is a curious decision to make the first person camera a woman. I thought their target audience would be young men? It’s certainly a larger potential audience than lesbians, although hey, not like I mind that choice ;3
