I guess I am talking ethics. I guess I have a vague sense of hypocrisy with the ‘open letter’ taking a vague moral/ethical high ground while it’s author has ripped off the design of a different piece of software (at least the UI) pixel for pixel

yeah that all makes sense.

i guess i just raised an eyebrow as the author of the letter was like “its just code and community” whilst absolutely copying their design down to the order of the items on the popup menu for posts

You believe that making the learning curve “flat” means that you have to copy the exact shape, size and style of the icons?

I’m all for pixelfed. I have a pixelfed account. This is a fun way to talk about the project.

I was pretty surprised at how the app is essentially a complete clone of IG. like the styling and layout of every button is pixel for pixel the exact same as IG. Innovation is one thing but copying everything about a program and calling it your own I’m not so sure about.

I actually went back to shooting 35mm black and white also. I got in touch with my old college and was able to use the dark room there. still pretty fun

rise up!

I am superior to everyone in the world because I own a Nikon DSLR (its a d60 from like 2010)

did you know the singer for the offspring came up with that line when he was working in lab- he was making petri dishes and you make them hot and then cool them to a certain temperature… so he was trying to wrap up and the petri dishes weren’t cooling down quickly enough, so he moved them all apart to allow air to flow between them and kept saying “you gotta keep em seperated” in his head, and then used this one riff they had while they were working on the album with that line. come out and play was the last song they made for that album

I agree, good reference

I had to look it up myself, but it appears to be divorce advice (hit the gym, lawyer up, delete facebook)

an ad hominem attack would be “nobody should listen to you because you’re a fucking idiot”, not “doing this thing idiots do might make you look similar to them”

dang, and I just rewatched One Crazy Summer

oh my god… what film was that from?

memory fucking unlocked… i remember not getting that joke when i was a kid

its a standard android phone its marketed toward blackberry users who had no choice but to abandon the key2 as it just got too old to be in any way secure

thats one of the most badass statements ive ever read

how does that fit into the fantasy that life is still cows and rifles

Montana Governor Greg Gianforte denounced the ruling, arguing in a statement that it would lead to “perpetual lawsuits that will waste taxpayer dollars and drive up energy bills.”
