Some weirdos write decades as possessive. Writing "90's" implies that there's a 90 that owns something.

FLP01 and custom front panel in c/buildapc@lemmy.world
[–] jyl@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

In GD09, the front is solid and the sides are intakes. There's 2 120mm fans directly feeding CPU and one for GPU. I could probably easily cut a hole for a second GPU intake at front left, but it might not be necessessary in my case.

I just learned about this cool PC case a couple days ago (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqyQeCbq4YA&t=221s), and I kinda want it over my boring aluminium and glass box. I like both the idea of an old looking sleeper and the horizontal pizza box form factor (or pizza box adjacent as it's whole 4U thick).

So I started thinking about possibilities. The FLP01 is just an off-white version of silverstone's normal HTPC case with a different front panel. So what if I got the case and modded it in a similar manner?

Oversized playstation, a very rough sketch.

I could 3D print this, and probably post-process the surface finish to look as if it were legit. It will probably go nowhere as I can't justify buying a new case just for fun, but I wanted to share this thought anyway.

I also host my stuff on oscilloscopes.

I tried staring at a lightbulb, no effect. Never heard of this before. Maybe your local population shares some weird gene.

Guess this a good example of what I don't want to affect. IMO the examples for controversal in this thread range between acceptable and amazing.

Fuck homogenized UI design

I agree with the opinion, I like diversity, but disagree on what counts. It's a spectrum, and this is at the lighter end. I'm hoping to make the suggestions as loose as possible, just enough to avoid stuff like the first example.

Let devs do whatever they fuck they want.

The point is not to force anyone to do anything, not that they even could be forced. The point is to get people to pay attention to what others are doing instead of unintentionally reinventing the wheel. No hard rules.

Pick the app you want and then learn its icons.

There's no "the" app. For example, I don't like photon as much on my phone, and I very much don't like voyager on desktop. Relearning how to read icons when switching apps can also suck.

But anyway, I'll keep this in mind. If the reception becomes mostly negative, I'll shut up about this.

Standardize the sort icons! (sopuli.xyz)
 

Hi, I tried a new Lemmy app yesterday. I was already kind of annoyed by different sort icons when using Photon and Voyager, but something snapped when I opened the menu in Interstellar. The third meaning of this arrow was too much.
Voyager Photon Interstellar

Here's a table of all sort icons:

Some of these differences I'm okay with, like controversial sort, but others not so much. Especially when the same icon is used for different things. The symbols become useless if the meaning is different in every ui. I guess because Lemmy-UI doesn't use icons for sorting, other devs just picked something in isolation.

So, my solution is to build a reference icon set that apps / frontends would loosely follow. This could then be added to Lemmy documentation. Any thoughts?

My ideas so far:

  • Hot: fire
  • Controversial: Anything negative or conflict
  • New: leaf, sprout
  • Old: clock, hourglass
  • Scaled: I don't like the scale icon, but it's still better than random.
  • Most comments: Multiple speech bubbles?
  • New comments: Single speech bubble? I like the unread dot in interstellar.
  • Top: trophy, medal, podium
  • Avoid: star (reserve for favorites)

This post was kinda lemmy-specific, but I'm posting to the generic /c/fediverse since other platforms could have similar issues, and extra perspectives don't hurt.

I'll have a look at the code and issues to get a feel of what I'm getting into, and then see what I'm able to work on

First thing I notice while trying this app is that these icons should really be standardized:
Interstellar Photon Voyager

Anyway, the app seems cool. I've used flutter just a tiny bit, so maybe I can help a little.
