Well you are assuming their stance and intentions ("anti-ai people" and "their intent is to harm content reach")

What if they are just disagreeing with the content, message or post itself? How do you discern the difference?

Do you think instead of downvoting a post, everyone should block a community instead?

Font Awesome API outage (status.fortawesome.com)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by donuts@lemmy.world to c/technology@lemmy.world

~~Font Awesome is currently experiencing an outage, so many webpages will have a broken UI or even broken functionality if there was any tied to icons (ask me how I know)~~

It has been fixed. Back to work!

Figured I'd make a meme too:

I've never seen this before in my life! Fuzzy black petals? Chalice like stem? Very cool and very mysterious.

Lawful good would have taken inflation into account and paid $8.91

In my language we call them Church Owls instead of Barn Owls because they nest in churches a lot.

Went to a demonstration slash workshop today where different owls and other birds of prey were introduced and talked about. Very interesting day!

You might remember this post where I asked about how sorting by "Hot" gives you a lot of new posts that were posted in quick succession, making it look like "New".

I was recommend by a few to use "Scaled", so recently I did. Except this felt even worse: I saw new posts that were posted in succession with 0 upvotes, one having 1 upvote.

Isn't this weird? Or am I doing it wrong?

He addresses this by saying a laptop doesn't allow you to replace components, doesn't have mechanical keyboard and there's no ultra wide support.

The funny thing is, this device he's using doesn't allow you to replace components either. And there are 21:9 laptops and mechanical keyboards available.

Seemed like he's trying to reverse-engineer his way into justifying a use case for it, but just failed.

Not sure if this fits here, feel free to remove if not.

I'm sure the algorithm must be working as intended, but I always see a lot of rapid-fire posts under each other when browsing "Hot". Is this normal or am I missing a setting?

Part of the abstract:

Recent findings on the abilities of birds to see in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum have expanded questions about plumage coloration to include the luminescent characteristics of bird plumage, including fluorescence. Yet little is understood about the function of fluorescent pigments, and very few studies have attempted to describe their distribution throughout a population. In this study, we used a fluorometer to measure variation in the amount of fluorescent pigments (e.g. porphyrins) extracted from the secondary coverts of Long-eared Owls (Asio otus) migrating through the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in the spring of 2020 (n = 99). We found that age and sex were the strongest predictors of fluorescent pigment concentration, wherein older and female birds had the highest fluorescent pigment concentrations.

I understand this is not your regular Superb Owl post, but I found it mighty interesting!

I had a look via Xcancel and they're not arguing about the labels, they are calling it a win and saying they are the good guys

What you're seeing here is numbered doors of toilet stalls.

This picture is from the inside of a restroom area, so any gender icons would be the outside of any door in here anyway.

Ooh boy, a sim/management game! I have a weakness for these types of games dating back to the good days of RCT, Theme Park, Theme Hospital, and so on.

So this looks and plays much like the Two Point games, in where you create rooms in your hotel, fill it up with props, assign some staff and have them at it. The interesting part here is that instead of immediately building the necessary rooms and placing the props, you actually have to call for construction workers to come and execute the job for you.

This approach adds a fun layer to expanding your hotel or building some props, as you actually have to plan construction jobs with the workers being paid by the hour. Calling in 2 workers is free, but if you call in larger groups, there's an upfront cost making expanding and renovating a more challenging (and also fulfilling) element of the game. It also makes it a bit more realistic, as you can't just magically make walls, flooring and wallpaper appear out of thin air. You really have to wait until some worker finishes it for you.

You can fill your hotel with restaurants, kitchens, gyms, communal bathrooms and of course bedrooms, and the amount of customization (especially for a demo) is quite insane. There's so many options to decorating and placing props that you can really make every hotel a unique place. Really cool for those who like to get creative.

As for criticisms, I will admit the game is a bit slow-paced, but at least you can fast forward time to make up for this. Also sometimes you don't really have a good grasp of what's working and what's not; so you just gotta trial & error sometimes to figure out if you're actually doing well. Also, the NPCs' visual design is somewhat of a sore thumb. They are kinda just eggs with a head, and it distracted me from an otherwise pleasant experience.

That's not review bombing, that's just leaving a negative review because the experience has turned negative.

They should direct their complaints at MS if that's what broke their game, but I don't expect the average Assassin's Creed player to understand the difference.

One looks like gambling but is actually a fun roguelite card game, the other one looks like fun but is actually a gambling game. Guess which one is rated 18+?

spoilerOkay I lied, FC24 doesn't even look like fun, but that's my personal opinion.

You know, at face value he's absolutely right. We shouldn't claim care that is unnecessary or maybe even harmful. But where we disagree is that I think that decision should be left to our medical professionals
