  • I mean, there are plenty of reasons not to use Brave but this poorly-written, obviously-not-a-paid-review doesn't really rank up there.

  • The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) categories are often misunderstood.

    Aspartame is categorized in Group 2B, which includes things like pickled vegetables, Gingko and Aloe Vera extract.

    Funnily enough, all the above are considered to pose less risk of cancer than Group 2A, which includes mundane things such as red meat and "very hot beverages" .

  • I think the @user@instance tag does. If you check your inbox under mentions, you should see a notification for that but not for /u/user@instance.

  • Thanks, /u/tweak@lemm.ee

    Edit: I don't see a link when using this method on Voyager or Jerboa, whereas @TWeaK@lemm.ee does work. It seems Lemmy apps don't support your way of doing it yet.

  • I don't know but it seems like it's a 'nix thing.

    I was in the Windows customization scene for years and never heard the term "ricing" until I discovered customization on Linux.

  • Sounds like you made the right choice for yourself. I wish you the best.

  • The whole point of lemmy.world is that it's a general, welcome-to-all instance.

    If you want server admins who take overtly political stances and actions on behalf of their users, you have instances like lemmy.ml to choose from.

  • For those who don't know, Iannuuci is the guy behind the movie The Death of Stalin, and the political satire series Veep and The Thick of It.

    His stuff is always worth a watch.

  • In case this is of any use to you or others, here's what I've found to work well:

    1. Summary of what the community is about
    2. Community rules of conduct
    3. Links to related communities that offer similar content
    4. Some additional info/useful links that are related to the topic.

    Good formatting also makes it look clean and professional.

    Shameless plug: check these out

    Not only does it make Lemmy look much better on desktop without turning it into a Reddit clone, it adds some subtle but very cool little features:

    • Uses rounded thumbnails to external links.
    • Uses square thumbnails to internal images.
    • Colored proprietary social media thumbs with their brand colors. (So you don't accidentally click on a youtube link for example).
  • Depends on how much of a Chris Nolan fan or a movie geek you are, tbh. But if it's not too much trouble then, yeah definitely. It's pretty rare to have a film shot on 70mm IMAX, so it's worth seeing it just to appreciate the full potential of the format.

    This article has a good summary about why IMAX 1570 is so special:

    Most movies today are shot using digital cameras, or if on film, it’s 35mm. IMAX 15/70 film frames are considerably larger. The number 15 refers to each frame having 15 perforations across – these being the holes that are used to hold the film as it moves through the projector. The 70 refers to the fact that the frame is 70mm tall. This compares with regular 70mm or 35mm film stock, which has only five perforations down. IMAX 15/70 frame is, therefore, 8.3x larger than 35mm and 3.4 times larger than 70mm – and the result is unprecedented quality.

    This large frame allows much more fine detail to be captured, delivering richer colors and greater contrast. The highest-resolution digital cinema cameras have 8K sensors, and digital projection maxes out at 4K resolution but some estimate IMAX film stock to have an equivalent resolution of 16K. Let’s leave it to Chris Nolan himself to sum up with his belief that IMAX 15/70 is, “the highest quality imaging format ever devised – [it] gives you an incredible sense of immersion in the image. The clarity, the crispness – it is the gold standard.”

  • Yeah, on Gnome there is a shell extension that automatically switches between light and dark system themes at a predefined time. The only problem is getting Lemmy to follow suit.

    I'll try the Browser Default setting again and see if that works this time 👍

    EDIT: It does. I'm an idiot.

  • Aha, that was it - I forgot that I had set my Lemmy theme to litely and was relying on the Dark Reader FF extension to automatically switch between night and day with Gnome.

    Switching Lemmy to darkly makes your theme display correctly. Now I just have to figure out a different way to get automatic day/night theme working properly 😅

  • By the way, have you noticed the problem with hover mouse events over links on dark mode?

    They disappear:

    I've tried to fix it by sadly my CSS skills aren't up to the task.

    • Uses rounded thumbnails to external links.
    • Uses square thumbnails to internal images.
    • Colored proprietary social media thumbs with their brand colors. (So you don't accidentally click on a youtube link for example).

    This is genius.

  • Yeah, I can see why that may appeal to some people. Personally, I prefer a more modern look.

  • Here are a few reasons I can think why some may not take to it. Trigger warning for Suse users

    • Out-of-the-box aesthetics are pretty ugly (why are they still using that godawful default wallpaper?)
    • Yast looks like the Windows 95 control panel (I guess this might be a plus for some people?)
    • Zypper can be sluggish to update and install packages
    • regular package updates are large, even compared to Arch
    • Seems to have more frequent security/password prompts (a good thing for enterprise scenarios, but not always welcome or necessary on a personal PC)

    It's not bad by any means, but I've tried it out several times and always ended up abandoning it because of little niggles like the above.

  • Signing up is a piece of cake - this guide just seems to include steps that most users won't need, for some reason.
