the "risk" of false positives comes down to the consequence. if the consequence is being stuck in the slammer, don't use ai. if the consequence is you can't upload the image unless you manually appeal, or even maybe have to use an external image host; i think ai is fine

they did: see xmpp

manyatruenerd is pretty much the only gaming youtuber I follow anymore. he's just so positive and always finds some good in a game (apart from redfall)

personal opinion, i think padding is worse for delineating objects than a bit of colour; or just, like, a line. look at this example - there are four distinct segments on the left, whereas on the right they all merge into one and a half

padding is really useful, yes, but if you put padding on everything then what's there to be separated?

yeah, i hated material ew as soon as it was announced. so much padding everywhere, and so little contrast - to paraphrase the incredibles: if everything's orange, nothing is. i want actionable items to stand out, not be a slightly lighter shade of the same colour

i like it

i think the reason most people do things like that is nostalgia; and it's hard to create the feeling of the web you're nostalgic for, without also creating the look of the web you're nostalgic for. it's definitely possible, but a lot of people won't

it's also an expression of personality — it's a personal site after all, if you're making your own site, make it a reflection of yourself — and a rebellion against "modern" graphic design trends (which i hate), where everything looks corporate, cold, clean, and characterless. they offend nobody, but please nobody

a site like webpage1990colourised, pleurodelinae, bytemoth, drakul78, or cyborgcatboys is going to put a lot of people off, but many others will love it. i like the idea of that kind of interesting, individualised site creation

i personally try to split the difference, make a garish site with flashy gifs, but use modern web practices like responsive design (and i've noticed others like solinus do similar things)

it's an official http response code

instances aren't like subreddits in this example though. if i don't care about drama, i can subscribe to both r/tumblr and r/curatedtumblr and have them both appear in my feed. i can't do that with instances without creating two accounts, and browsing both separately

i disagree. people naturally share things they find cool, we're a gregarious species after all. karma just encourages people to churn out low effort content, and cynical reposting (which i know heelpr says is important, but it's been the reason i've left many subreddits)

i do agree, however, that it's a way to spot trolls; but i don't think it's the best way and it's very easy to rack up spare karma by, wait for it, karma farming. conversely, i think good moderation is a better method than just looking at a user's total karma

somebody else pointed this out, but it's honestly bizarre he's going in on the "we aren't making any money" ploy in preparation for the ipo

what's the pitch to the investors? "please by shares in this unprofitable company, in the hope that we can become profitable by pissing off our userbase"?

that will work, but it's quicker to just long press the app icon in recents:
