The former icon designer in me twitches when I see Linux distros that have Recycle Bin icon labeled as “Trash.”

Linux@programming.dev•Affinity for Linux? Canva's next big move could reshape the desktop software market
8·2 天前Yeah, but that project isn’t really getting the attention it deserves. Part of me wants to contribute, but I’m totally swamped with a million side things.

371·2 天前I really reeeally want to like GIMP, but I’ve never been able to get past the UI / learning curve. There are a number or patterns and interaction models that are significantly different than those adopted by the rest of the creative industry.
I’m surprised that, after 25 years, none of the projects to redo the UX have really stuck and gained significant momentum.
Designers are famously broke. Especially graphic designers. A raster graphics tool, with a half way decent UI, would easily gain traction.
I wonder if it’s because the project just doesn’t have UX designers contributing to design and users testing. A lot of the UX feels like a random idea that someone had. Not something that was actually tested with real humans.
I want a tiny bottle of green bean casserole extract, so I can make cookies that taste like green bean casserole.

Technology@lemmy.zip•Deloitte cited AI-generated research in a million-dollar report for a Canadian provincial governmentEnglish
21·3 天前Bad research is often what you get from these consultants. Tale as old as time. It’s been this way for decades.

Reddit isn’t alone. Any company that gets a lot of traffic from Google is feeling the impact.
Reddit YoY profit is quite strong, but daily active users is softer than expected. A lot of people suspect that they, like many other companies that depend on SEO for a chunk of users, are being impacted by LLMs.
Many questions that would normally get answered in Reddit start and end in GPT or Gemini / AI overview.
2025’s “I want to, but I’m being audited.”
He’ll try do this until people eventually run out of gas.
Is their supposed to be a link to an article?

Luigi Mangione•A judge said Luigi Mangione could have a laptop to view evidence in jail. He still hasn't gotten it
37·15 天前The point of brining up Diddy is was that he got a restricted laptop in MDC and Luigi is in MDC.
MDC should have this figured out. This smells like stalling.
Edit: also worth noting, most prisons have laptop and tablet platforms that are specifically for prisoners. The devices, the network, etc. It’s all an out of the box solution handled by a vendor, and it’s locked down from the jump. This should be like McDonald’s serving another hamburger. It’s a request for something that has been dumbed down and automated.

Luigi Mangione•A judge said Luigi Mangione could have a laptop to view evidence in jail. He still hasn't gotten it
129·15 天前To comply with jail regulations, she said, the laptop had to be sent to an outside technology vendor to disable its connections to the internet, printers and wireless networks — a process that took “many weeks to complete.”
lol. Weeks? MDC has restricted laptops specifically designed for this and several high profile cases in MDC recently got them. Diddy had one.
This Incel post has an uncomfortable amount of upvotes.
Wait, this is their car when they’re practicing “self control?”

politics •Justice Department sues to block California US House map in clash that could tip control of Congress
10·16 天前It ain’t going to right it. It’s just going to make it less tipped toward the GOP.
The GOP is also like to gain 2-3 seats in Ohio, and 1 in Missouri with these shady midcycle redistricting efforts.
All in all, this BS will probably net the GOP 2-3 seats as it stands now.

politics •Justice Department sues to block California US House map in clash that could tip control of Congress
7·16 天前Race cannot be used as a proxy to advance political interests, but that is precisely what the California General Assembly did with Proposition 50 — the recent ballot initiative that junked California’s pre-existing electoral map in favor of a rush-job rejiggering of California’s congressional district lines
They’re going to try to prove this lie, despite CA saying that this was purely about political party power, not race. And the SCOTUS already said that horseshit is perfectly fine.



















Acktshually, that’s the Recycle Bin.
