Journalists are still actively participating at exTwitter, thereby actively supporting Musk, who is helping extremists bring down democracy and, by extension, a free press.
Reddit got away with stomping its volunteer moderators and users, and its execs are cashing in on an IPO that in a more just world would have flopped.
Writers I respect decided to stick with Substack despite arrogant, extremist-friendly investors and leadership.
@pikesley the best one of these (which I get loads) is "Tracking information will only be available once delivery is attempted", no further text. For something that was sent months ago and is obviously lost.
10 years ago it very specifically meant using premade game engine assets, often whole example games, to slap something vaguely playable on steam to trick people into buying it and attract steam card hunters
now people call anything that reuses assets from a previous game an asset flip, or even use it for any art in a game they consider to look "generic"
@eniko Agree, I don't know why anyone started using this to refer to (for example) graphics reused in a sequel. The point is very specifically about stuff bought from the Unity store and released basically unchanged. Outside that context the term makes no sense and has no utility.
@tess This makes sense to me - I have heard for example "post it in the chat" jokingly used in situations where there is no chat. Not just in Twitch streaming but also things like Zoom, many people are used to having a parallel text chat now for many interactions.
running a web service that sends emails, do you have to send plain text as well as html emails? If so, whats a good strategy to keep them in sync, content wise? #webdev
@joelanman Probably only one person ever is actually going to read the plain text, and that person is used to getting messed up emails. Something like running strip_tags (or your language's equivalent) on the HTML mail would do.
(An "I read all my emails in plain text using mutt" person may turn up here, but they do not exist in most real email lists.)
Say what you want, but there’s something immediately obvious about aqua-style controls. They stand out. You can see what’s interactive and what’s not in an instant. You can see what’s expected from you
Compare to modern flat design, where you have to look very closely just to understand what’s what and which parts you are supposed to touch
@designthinkingcomic I'm seeing more and more of these, and even the DON'T RECYCLE ones. Seems to be connected to them using fancier printing on the package?
Someone needs to invent something worse than screens so that all the people who rabbit on about "screens" being bad will embrace them as "the wholesome alternative to (new bad thing)".
This is basically what has happened with kids' comics at this point.
@kev Yep, a caching plugin fixes it as you discovered. I'm not familiar with your CMS but for the more common case of Wordpress, installing WP Super Cache (or similar) fixes the problem at a stroke.
I just used jQuery in a new project and you know what, I don't even feel bad. I just needed to hide all the elements with one class and show all the elements with a different class. A one-liner in jQuery and not in anything else!
