yeah you're right, but i'm not (just) being funny when i said that - lemmy.world had only just started when i joined (10 days), still had the old (much nicer) icon and no banner, etc. it had 188 users / month, compared to .ml's (at the time) 1.8k and lemm.ee's (current, according to the above infographic) 3.7k...

actually this is incredible how fast it grew

this is incredibly cool

i don't even know how i'm going to put this to use, but i know i'll find something to use it for. thank you

a few others and i are trying to get some of the imaginary network off the ground - the ones i'm particularly fond of are imaginary trains and imaginary dieselpunk, but there's a whole list in the sidebar

unfortunately a considerable chunk went down with lemmy.fmhy.ml, but i'm in contact with the guy behind them and he plans to reopen them soon

i still find it weird that's it's called infinity. i know it's not illegal, but why not just call it "eternity for lemmy"or something?

i'm not making a moral comment on anything, including piracy. i'm saying "but it's part of my established workflow" is not an excuse for something morally wrong.

and the way I open apps - press super and start typing it's name and enter. So simple, so fast.

that.. is the way one opens apps on every mainstream de by default? be it a start menu (plasma, windows, cinnamon, etc.), list menu, (old plasma, many old de's), or some other launcher, i think that's pretty standard

i use simple because it's the only gallery i know of that supports apng

but i probably would anyway. i like the standard material 1 design, it's faster than aves, and i don't need all the blur, animations, and eye-candy that's aves' draw. perhaps i'm getting old but simple gallery just works and works the same as all the other apps in their suite, and conforms to standard android paradigms

i think that's irrelevant. sure, webp might be open licence, but so is chromium to some extent and that's doing severe damage to internet health

that said, apart from "it's an open format", i can't actually find any definitive answer on the webp licence

didn't some poor cosmonaut get trapped in space because his country stopped existing whilst he was up there?

edit: sergei krikalev

yeah, that's a preference not a default. feel free to configure your preferences howsoever you prefer. if it's a configurable preference it's not a dark pattern, it's just an option

that's a good point, i hasn't considered writing to icann (not that i have a very high opinion of them these days). i don't suppose there's a template letter anywhere to save me writing one?

also by the way, i love your netscape avatar
