I'm beautiful and tough like a diamond...or beef jerky in a ball gown.

  • As a current web developer I'm with you except for the tables. I hate tables with a burning, fiery passion.

    I do like responsive design to account for mobile, tablet, and desktop so I try to blend that with classic "just works / just here for the data" layouts and generally minimize the flash in favor of the content. In other words, my projects go to a lot of work to look that simple lol.

  • No one seems to know exactly what "modern" means when it comes to "modern design". If you ask ten different developers, you get 11 different answers.

    My rule of thumb when I see "modern design" touted as a feature is that the developer chose form over function at every turn.

  • I get what you're saying and the "individual carbon footprint" is often used to blame shift to regular people just living their lives, but we do still have a carbon footprint. It may be a tiny, rodent-sized footprint compared to the Kaiju-sized ones of big industries, but our actions and choices do have an effect (especially collectively).

    I just don't like dismissing the individual carbon footprint as total propaganda because it's not wrong (though I acknowledge it is abused). Dismissing it like that just puts out a defeatist "nothing I do matters" message when our individual choices do matter and add up.

    Can you live a totally carbon-neutral life in the modern age? No, probably not. But we also shouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater and do nothing.

  • My fellow 'Muricans, do you prefer metric or standard measurements?

    Jump

  • Metric for most measurements except temperature (Fahrenheit - same reason you gave) and colloquial distances/velocities (e.g miles to the store, miles per hour).

  • Ford, Take Note: Classic Pickup Becomes The EV We Want

    Jump

  • Yep, that's the one.

    I'll reserve a phone but not a truck, lol. Looks like those are scheduled to be out late 2026, so probably at least next year before I can even think about getting my hands on one.

    At least it's still a thing.

  • Ford, Take Note: Classic Pickup Becomes The EV We Want

    Jump

  • I used to drive a 2004 Ranger and loved it. Would absolutely love an EV version even if the range isn't super great. Mostly need a truck occasionally and for hauling stuff from the home improvement store or if I find furniture at a garage sale or something.

    Need to check and see if that $20,000 no-frills EV truck is making any progress.

  • What Happens When You Put a LaserDisc Under a Microscope? | It turns out you can quite literally see an analog signal if the conditions are right—and you look closely enough.

    Jump

  • I never had one but they had them at school. Thought they were the coolest thing ever and also assumed digital because CDs were starting to become popular.

  • Does anyone else get paralyzed on fixing small things because they're terrified of it becoming a larger thing? And how do you overcome it?

  • "What if it won't turn off?"

    "What if it won't turn back on?"

    "What if the valve just snaps off and sprays everywhere?"

    Yep, I understand completely.

  • I love password based login

    Jump

  • And the auto-submitting TOTP entry form where you're apparently not allowed to make a typo. And obscuring the TOTP number like it's a password or state secret.

  • Audio transcribing should be the little "waveform" icon at the right of the text input:

    Image generation, I'm not sure as that's not a use-case I have and don't think the small-ish models I run are even capable of that.

    I'm not sure how audio transcribing works in OpenWebUI (I think it has built-in models for that?) but image generation is a "capability" that needs to be both part of the model and enabled in the models settings (Admin => Settings => Models)

  • Touch one thing, you find everything else attached to it is rotted or held together with caulk and a dream.

    Oh, god, literally that.

    I can do the repairs pretty confidently, but I suck at the planning and get completely overwhelmed going to Lowes/Home Depot and dread the multiple trips I always have to make because I forgot something, find something else that needs replaced, or bought the wrong size/style.

  • Setting a DIY deadline is a really good suggestion, at least as far as "might actually work for me" goes. Thanks!
