I cleaned up when I moved, so the oldest gadget I have right now is a 15 year old MSI laptop, still happily running with linux.

News@lemmy.world•CBS to Cancel ‘Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ Citing ‘Financial Decision’
37·5 months agoYeah I didn’t really enjoy prim and proper corporate Colbert. His show was pretty mediocre. I believe it was also his decision to step away from his original persona and move on to a standard talk show host, so he actually wanted that change. Ferguson is still the GOAT for me.

PieFed Meta@piefed.social•If you haven't tried @ blorp yet, now is a good time!English
1·5 months agoI absolutely understand if multi-column view is not in your design plan. So yeah really, just maximizing space is what I’m after in a desktop UI. Great work on blorp, and I’m looking forward to see its progress! I also have the mobile client and I’m playing around with it on my piefed account.

1·5 months agoHey. Not knocking on the blorp desktop version at all, it looks good! The main thing I’m looking for in desktop browser UIs is taking advantage of screen real estate and not leaving a lot of dead space. Similar to how old reddit is compared to new reddit and how the default UIs for lemmy and piefed really fill up the available space. One tab browsing is also a good feature IMO.
For example, Alexandrite can look like this:

And Voyager’s tablet mode, while not really optimized for desktop, also works somewhat:

2·5 months agoYeah I’m aware that Alexandrite hasn’t been updated for a while. Anyways, I checked out Voyager on a desktop browser and the tablet mode view is pretty similar. And since the devs are working on piefed compatibility, I think this will do for now until a better one comes.

4·5 months agoNothing deep really, just that more clients means more options to choose from. It also helps innovation as developers get ideas from other clients to improve theirs. The lemmy app explosion 2 years ago was a fun time as there were a ton of clients with their own design philosophy to choose from. Also, I browse lemmy/piefed on a desktop browser 80% of the time, so it’s great to see desktop UI alternatives. For example, Alexandrite is optimized for desktop browsing and it maximizes screen real estate compared to the default lemmy UI. I see blorp has a browser UI as well, however it seems to still be optimized for mobile browser viewing.

2·5 months agoYeah sorry didn’t notice
webis also listed there. It’s still kinda designed for mobile browsers though. I hope we can get a proper front-end for desktops in the future, like Alexandrite.

3·5 months agoGreat, thanks. I’ve been meaning to move over to piefed but was waiting for more clients to come out. Do you know if there are any good desktop browser front-ends?

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Eating would be weird if we didn't enjoy it.
16·5 months agoI know someone who has an issue with his sense of taste that most things are bland to him, so he doesn’t really enjoy eating.
Toothache. Most general pain I can just tolerate until it goes away. But I become completely useless with a toothache. I’m not productive and I’m irritable. I grab a painkiller as soon as I can.
This one just recently as I’m getting older: lower back pain. Getting up after sitting down for a while in an awkward position and the pain is so bad that I literally collapse into a squatting position with my hands on the ground until I can slowly get up again.
