As an extra special treat, I get a pizza Hawaii (yes, with pineapple) with extra sauce hollandaise, feta cheese and banana. I realise this is hardly "pizza" anymore but I have no other word for it.
Another special treat is Nutella, salami, strawberry jam and gouda, in that exact order, on bread (as what Anglophones apparently call an "open-faced sandwich"). It's a fucking mess.
Faces all looking the same is possibly because people are hesitant to post their AI images of IRL celebs etc. Stable diffusion is really good at creating that sort of thing
Its pretty nice so far. The only bug I found is when you subscribe to a new instance and it hangs and it goes back to "subscribe" instead of "pending" like I saw on jerboa it kinda confused me. Adding your account manually was kind of a pain since there wasn't a "show password" option so if you can, stick to autofill with a password manager instead. Also it does stutter a bit when scrolling on a post with 100+ comments but just give it a second
I'm in the habit of being consistently unsatisfied with my own work. Even by achieving my initial goals, I learn new ways it could have been better, and it instantly becomes mediocre in my eyes.
I think this is a good habit of mine, but it requires that I attempt to accomplish meaningful work constantly. It doesn't matter too much to me exactly what I make, as long as it's something (sometimes it's code, but sometimes it's a nightmare of brass and iron and science).
Coding is not the only thing software needs. It needs bug reports, documentation, graphical designers, funding, how-to videos, and so on. There are many problems to solve and many ways to contribute, requiring a diverse set of skills!
There's a neat math proof that proves you can code if you can follow a flowchart. However, if you don't like coding, it's unlikely to be of particular interest and perhaps those other methods of contribution would bear more fruit!
Creating new content to share on Lemmy is another way to help it grow! Tell us worthy tales, share your best thoughts!
I am trying it out now! I like the layout / UI; reminds me of Boost and Joey which I liked a lot. One thing that bothers me is the colour scheme, though. In light mode it's blue (?) and dark mode is more like some weird grey mode, and I'd prefer it to be a darker grey like in most apps (perhaps it could be more customisable so that people can change it to fit their preferences).
Its soft and cuddly and, to some extent, the same colors as the trans flag. It’s a much bigger thing among transfems than transmascs, and I’ve heard that part of its popularity is that it lets transfems feel soft and cuddly, when previously they’ve spent their whole lives under male social expectations where that’s less encouraged. It being a meme is a fun way to celebrate the expressing of a buried part of yourself.
Also, IKEA ran an advertisement in support of gay marriage, using the shark. I forget, though, if that came before or after it becoming a trans symbol.
I'm a 28 yo trans woman and switched careers from arts admin to data science in healthcare. I'm learning UE5 in the hopes of realizing a game idea (city-builder/resource manager on a floating Rubik's cube).
Special interests change regularly and include: electrical engineering, software development, anything space / cosmology / physics, sewing, piano, etc... It's a problem.
I adopted to cats Shadow Lady and Stinky Jane last year and they are everything to me.
Anti-hobbies include eating, partying, public speaking, and dancing.
Coding isn't for everyone, but sometimes you can get involved in a coding project just by contributing good suggestions/bug reports to github.
Be thoughtful about how you report things - if you're reporting a bug, add as much detail as you can to help the devs recreate it; if you're suggesting a feature, make a solid case for why the application might benefit from it, think about potential issues it might solve (or cause), consider how you might address users who don't want that feature (make optional).
It is extremely satisfying to see an issue you've reported get fixed or a feature you've suggested get implemented. It gives you a stake in the project, something you won't often get on the corporate-owned platforms.
What if I aim low? Like, "please include the letter c in your next commit"? Will that hit hard enough? Or should I go for a whole word? Come on, I need this!
