the ! is the prefix to make an autolink on lemmy

honestly american diesel/electric trains look so weird, but particularly cab-centre ones

wikipedia says "painted for a 1949 calendar", but i've found an image of it used on a calendar that says 1935/6:

another image that i'm not certain is a portal[^1] (it could just be a mirror or something), but it looks like a portal so i'm posting it

i know the train is a physically minor part of the image; but wow does it set the composition. the stubby little locos are so cute, too. i'm not entirely sure whether i see this as utopian or dystopian: it's nice to have good public transit, but boy does that place look overpopulated. i love the sheer number of smaller distant trains though

i don't really know much more about the artist though, as it's such a generic name

concept art for Warhammer Online (presumably age of reckoning)

i don't know why this piece stuck out to me -- i didn't even recognice it as warhammer actually -- but i like the little knot detailing and the little winglets on the sides of the boiler

now it's a bit buried on his site; but i'm pretty sure this is the actual source

Desolation, concept art for Blasphemous

https://www.team17.com/games/blasphemous/

By Jesús Campos "Nerkin" 2018-2019

some concept art for Blasphemous (the holy line area, i believe), which is a fantastic game[^1] and i thoroughly recommend it to anyone who likes metroidvanias or souls-likes

i haven't wanted to spam this place with every "imaginary" lemmysphere; but this will be for announcements related to said "federated network of imaginary communities" - a grandiose name for various "themed art" communities. new imaginary communities will be posted there, as well.

there are also some other imaginary communities that haven't been posted here (for the same reason), so i'm collecting them all into this post

filter overlays reduce contrast, and wash out colours darker than the filter colour - quick mock-up:

(notice how dark greys and black are actually brighter than without the filter)


in answer to the original question, op, i'm not sure there is one. i don't think android allows changing display properties such as temperature without root unfortunately

i think randint is talking about the lemmee megathread where we were discussing whether to defed hexbear. i have no idea why he'd post this on your megathread

[-] Zeus@lemm.ee 21 points 1 year ago

Well yeah I guess I should have expected this coming lol. But to be fair I don’t think me commenting on cth justifies their personal insults.

no, it doesn't. but it also doesn't justify you demanding that l.ee blocks them entirely. personally, i haven't had any bad experiences w/ hexbear, and i'm subscribed to at least one of their lemmyspheres.

Also, another half of personal insults happened on !worldnews@lemmy.ml.

yeah, that i can't (and have no plans to) defend. but my i did skim the thread i believe you're talking about, and whilst some of your ripostes are quite good; my advice would just be to block AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net and just not engage. just walk away from the computer and make a cup of tea. i know that's what i do

if you feel like being courteous you can tell the person that, or you can just block them and not respond

this seems like something best solved with a bookmarklet

let me see if i can knock one up quickly


okay, i got a bit distracted, sorry it took so long

javascript:(function() {window.location="https://duckduckgo.com/?"+window.location.toString().match(/q=.*?(\&|$)/g);})()

alternative code block

javascript:(function() {window.location="https://duckduckgo.com/?"+window.location.toString().match(/q=.*?(\&|$)/g);})()

just drag that into your bookmarks bar, then click it when you're on a google search page (please message me with any questions or bugs, i wrote this in five minutes with an online regex tester)

also, thank you for this post - i'd never thought of doing this, but it's a good idea


edit 2: okay, lemmy-ui currently has a bug with ampersands. please replace & in the script with just an "&"

i hated material ew as soon as it was announced. so much padding everywhere, and so little contrast - to paraphrase the incredibles: if everything's orange^[other colours are available, i just like orange], nothing is. your eyes will adjust to it. i want actionable items to stand out, not be a slightly lighter shade of the same colour. it also looks rather like a fischer-price my first phone interface

i must say, if an app (for example, jerboa) uses material 3, i usually try to look for an alternative


some examples:

with material design, it's clear what's a header, what's a footer,^[look at the lack of contrast on that "new post" button] and what each button's state is.

with all the padding, there's also less space; leading to less functionality

with material ew, it's much harder to tell at a glance what each app is, one has to scrutinise the icon rather than just tell at a glance by colour

i also really dislike monet; the way it pulls this horrible washed out sickly pastel colour from a wallpaper and washes it over the entire app. if i just pulled one accent colour, and applied that to, say, the header and main action button, i'd like it a lot more

i don't hate webp. i think png is better, but i think webp is fine

but i really don't want google to have more control over how i browse the internet.^[especially given how they've recently shown that they will abuse their monopoly] let's maybe use an image format that isn't owned by them, perhaps

the whole archived article is worth reading as well - i particularly like
