An interesting development to be sure

I rarely grope people, I usually keep my hooves to myself!

I thought the selling point behind most Twitter like services is that it's focused on negative positioning. E.g. things that are negative focused get more attention and engagement

The best take on here. The reasonable one that still highlights how much better it is compared to other mainstream services

I'd like to highlight that there's been a recent PR that's added the licensing to several files

Gamers Nexus (another highly respected tech YouTuber) called out LTT for their mistakes and performances over the last few years, the overall point being that they're moving too fast and causing multiple mistakes in their content.

There's a current controversy with a company called Billet who gave LTT a custom water block to test and instead of testing it properly with the 3090 it was made for, they tried it with a 4090 card (and it obviously didn't work)

Linus doubled down on their results saying it wouldn't have mattered anyway because it's a rubbish product and no one should buy it (which came across very poorly, why even agree to test a product if you know your going to trash on it)

The whole situation specifically looks like it's triggered some upcoming changes in LMG and hopefully the outcome is better, more accurate video content

Yeah that's the most brazen part. They're more than happy to pull in a dozen set of fees, but cry when they have to clearly list them so people aren't taken advantage of. This is the type of rubbish that the "free market" produces and why there needs to be some level of government oversight.

Actually had to re-read old mates comment above us to see if I was missing satire / sarcasm. Like no way anyone legitimately thinks like this? 🤯

[–] AnonymousLlama@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Probably putting out another strawman argument to make the situation much worse than it actually it. Making it go from a scenario where licensing wasn't followed correctly to a proposed new outrage where hard work from stolen from a trans person. Pathetic

You're getting downvoted because you're spouting rubbish without actually providing any evidence, not because people are "transphobic".

Not every unfortunate action that happens to trans people can be attributed to people being "transphobic", like it's a coordinated attack

Yeah while I can understand why OP would be grumpy, their replies are coming off pretty poorly

 

Hey guys. I've been trying to get kbin.social running on my local machine outlined here but I'm running into issues

issue with kbin install

I've installed Docker Desktop for windows and I can see the containers being created but I'm getting errors on the front-end build stage, I've put it in a ticket here but not sure what else to do.

https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/368

I've already got node, npm and yarn installed, I've done the following and I'm not making much progress

npm install yarn build

When I view the site locally its throwing errors.

I'm pretty new to docker and even yarn so I'm not sure what I should do next, any big brain thoughts from you guys by chance?

 

I'm looking at getting kbin installed locally so I can make some UI / UX changes, but it's a different tech stack than I'm used to. Anyone here gotten it to run locally and can offer any advice on the difficulty involved?

I don't have a spare server so I'd be kind at getting it to run locally on my windows machine

 

Hey guys

I know that @ernest has been heaps busy working on the infrastructure / stability of kbin.social but i'd be keen to hear peoples opinions on some potential UI/UX changes

(I tried to upload these screenshots in using the media upload tool so these appear inline but it didn't seem to work for me)

Here's the website how it looks currently
kbin before

Overall its pretty good, but there's a few places where we could compress the layout so we can see more posts at once. I remember reading somewhere that eventually the site will get some updated styling, but I think below would be a good upgrade in the meantime.

kbin after

This mostly involved moving the upvote / downvote arrows and adjusting the padding and margins of the title, description and a few other section. Its basically all CSS changes I've done locally

It's just a concept and other areas like the size of the buttons might need to be tweaked, but what do we think?

Here's a sample of a post with an image, right now the image doesnt really fit the layout, often stretching itself
kbin image layout before

This change brings the image full width to the top, so at least its a bit more viewable.
Kbin image layout after

I'd be keen to give it a go polishing up some of these sections (mostly so using it on mobile is easier) but unsure if they go too far / if @ernest has an overall design goal that hes got in mind

 

With the discontinuation of most of the third party reddit apps, it looks like Relay might try a subscription model. They seem to think a 2-3 dollar a month subscription might cover the API costs.

I've got no confidence in Reddit going forward, they may just up the price, introduce even more stringent conditions on third party apps, but for people who might be tempted to stay, would you consider doing this monthly subscription approach?
