What do you hate about commercials? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] fixmycode@feddit.cl 5 points 1 day ago

I don't hate commercials themselves, advertisement itself for me is natural, everyone advertises. My problem is when they're unprovoked. An individual looking for a job will search for job offers, which are ads. A person who's watching a news segment about a hurricane is not looking to also buy a smell-water-bottle.

Besides bars/clubs/restaurants, where else do you go/do when you want to get out of the house? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] fixmycode@feddit.cl 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

can you explain how you participate in these clubs? where I'm from, there are restaurants and coffee shops that offer board games for you and your group, as in, you already know the people you'd be playing with, and they're normally not a place you'd go by yourself, waiting to find someone to play with.

I was gifted an unopened pack of 3.5" floppy disks. What should I do with them? (wrong answers only) in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

open it in a non-destructive manner, switch every read/write lock slider, put it back together.

it's funny that this is posted in the Firefox echo chamber. We should be sharing this outside our own circles.

I was taking about icon packs. I didn't know about the Memphis designers, thanks for the nice write-up

Every era is defined by the tools we had at hand during that process. While Memphis is basically pixel art, Y2K was defined by the gradient and mask tools on Photoshop, and Aero was a victim of skewmorphic design trends pushed by the commodity of 3D tooling. Flat design took prevalence because raster-based products felt weird when seen on retina displays.

I wonder how design will be affected when AI tools become the norm.

What movie would you most like to watch for the first time again? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] fixmycode@feddit.cl 3 points 4 months ago

How to Train Your Dragon

I still get that knot on my throat in the first flight sequence, that movie is perfect for me. I want to feel it like it was the first time.

Tried introducing my nephews to Pokemon TCG this Christmas, it was a disaster (feddit.cl)
 

I gifted the Pokemon Battle Academy set this year to my nephews (both 9yo). BA is boxed like a board game, it has three decks, two basic decks which are pre-sorted to play a tutorial game, and one advanced unsorted deck, along with guides for playing both decks, a full game guide, coin, damage counters, and a board which guides you on how to play. I also bought them sleeves and a couple of boosters that I told them they could use later.

I was there when they opened the box, told them about how I convinced their grandpa when I was their age to get me my first deck, and how I didn't play with anyone for a long time because no one in school had cards, and how lucky they were to have each other to play with. In the spirit of letting them do their Christmas thing, I told them "do you need me to teach you how to play?" they said they were ok, and I went to do other things around the house.

15 minutes later I come back and all cards are basically scattered around the room. One of my nephews is negotiating to trade 20 cards of their pre-constructed deck for the holo that comes on the other's deck. The advance deck is nowhere to be found, it's probably now part of their mega deck. The board, counters, coin and guides are still in the box.

They never battled, but all in all, they stayed trading cards all morning until they had to leave. One of them showed the other how to open their boosters the way youtubers open them (by putting the rare ones at the end for maximum content) and the importance of sleeving their holos.

I guess collecting is more fun these days. I'm happy they found joy in that.

Maybe we battle next year.

Cash grabs aside, I really enjoy a good biopic. I'm between David Bowie and Michael Jackson

[Fixed][Bug?] Insert Link adds a ! symbol (feddit.cl)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by fixmycode@feddit.cl to c/boostforlemmy@lemmy.world

Insert Link dialog is inserting a ! symbol before the URL? which makes Boost not render it as a link, I don't know if that's the behavior on web Lemmy.

Repro:

  • Start a new post or comment
  • Press the link button on the toolbar
  • Fill the form and insert the link
  • The resulting markdown looks like this:

![Some URL](https://example.com)

If you press the preview (magnifier) button, it doesn't show as a link, and this continues after you post the new message

The other thing is that both fields of the Insert Link dialog have the placeholder "URL". I know the icons are different but at first glance I found it confusing
