But again any element where they crank up the opacity looks great. So maybe they will change these values before release 🤞

UI constantly flipping colors to try to maintain contrast. I dunno dude. This doesn’t feel better to me :/

I think in the shell the transparent elements work a lot better. But as soon as you have more complicated UI and any kind of busy background it’s just overwhelming visually. I would really crank up the blur and/or make elements more opaque

The realistic refractions are like a neat tech demo but ultimately I think it’s worse UI design. It reminds me of how in game design there are limits to introducing realism before it stops being fun. Like a realistic city builder that’s all parking lots. Congrats on the realistic simulation I guess

This is rough :(

Okay so this level of transparency like in Maps actually looks great. I hope before release they just make everything more like this

“Design is my passion”

I’ve seen a number of posts like, “there’s just nothing you can say to appease the mob”. Yes. Exactly. You’re so close. There is nothing you can say, because it’s not about saying the right magic words. You can’t virtue signal your way into community. It’s about taking the right actions. Making the right changes. The problem is viewing “allyship” as something performative to show that you are “one of the good ones” instead of a way to protect the vulnerable and give equity to the marginalized

The cognitive dissonance of being like “I’m a leftist and an activist and an ally” and then spending a whole blog post doing “diversity of thought” apologia with your conclusion being that the real problem isn’t who you keep platforming but instead marginalized people making you uncomfy by letting each other know that your platform is a breeding ground for hate.

Ugh okay so Gina knows about the mod who has created filters for the words “queer” and “trans” among other things, and she thinks that’s totally fine and not at all queerphobic and calling it out as obviously queerphobia is “disgustingly disingenuous”. So if you want to do an easy thing to be a queer ally this pride month, block Fosstodon. It’s a Nazi bar and it’s not going to get better.

Absolutely fucking clown shoes. Fascist enabling Fosstodon admin says the real hate speech comes from people on the left 🤡

“I see a few users spreading hate in a way they ironically accuse others of. It's deeply unpleasant. I worry about this undercurrent on the Fediverse”

This is what “Pride” really means though. Showing up anyways. Fighting. Competing. Doing the thing despite the fear and doubt and hate. Staring down the bigots and saying, “I am here anyways”. They cannot crush us. They cannot stomp us out. They can refuse to recognize our accomplishments and call us what they will and threaten us with state violence. We will continue to show up regardless and live our lives. We are here. That’s pride.

If you’re asking, “did she win though?” Seriously check yourself. It’s a competition, someone has to win. Is she never allowed to win? Are you only okay with trans people existing in society as a underclass? They can never have success in your world view? But for the record she did win one category and tied in another. She had to face jeers and protests and then those wins were invalidated and taken from her and she was not allowed to feel like a normal 16 year old girl. How fucked up is that.

This morning I’m thinking about AB Hernandez, the high school junior competing in girl’s high jump and long jump. At only 16 years old she’s the target of hate from full grown adults, including the president, just because she wants to do sports with her friends like a normal high school girl. I can’t even imagine that amount of pressure. It’s truly fucked up how bigoted and hateful people can be to go after a child just trying to live her life

We need to make generative “AI” illegal

If you’re a developer writing a GTK app and you want it to be accessible, you might want to check out the following links:

@nicemicro it’s extremely necessary division. When these folks complain about “politics” what they always mean is that they don’t want marginalized people to participate openly and safely. We can’t build healthy diverse communities and include people who are against equality and human rights. Supremacists are of no value

@lukeshu

This right here is the thing you are going to have to recognize is a red flag. They are going to try to say actually you are an extremist and unreasonable. “You’re being gatekeepy! Why does it matter what someone’s political views are?” Don’t allow this shit. No nazis allowed in my bar, period. Don’t care. Get the fuck out. Tell your friends I said fuck Nazis too https://labyrinth.zone/objects/f2762bd1-6f17-44d6-85a9-4a8dea33e100

When I was in school there was this kid that would say, “420 praise it 🙏🏼”. I wonder if he’s still 420 praising it today
