phantomwise@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you have “the” or “a” in your language? What language is it?2·4 days agoYes, it’s “le/la” and “un/une” in French
phantomwise@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you're wearing sunglasses when you're out, do you take them off when going into a store or do you keep them on?English1·4 days agoI do because at night the street lights are way too bright… Yes people look at me weirdly 😂
phantomwise@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you're wearing sunglasses when you're out, do you take them off when going into a store or do you keep them on?English4·4 days agoI don’t get it either. If people wear sunglasses, whether inside or outside, they chose to wear them for a reason. Even if the reason is just “forgot to take them off”. No one’s deliberately wearing sunglasses to be rude to you…
phantomwise@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you're wearing sunglasses when you're out, do you take them off when going into a store or do you keep them on?English2·4 days agoI never take sunglasses off inside, unless there’s an actual reason (like not enough light, or if I need to see colors correctly when shopping). There’s always too much light everywhere, it’s always too bright, and it’s even worst at night because of the contrast between the darkness and the blinding lampposts. So light sunglasses everywhere.
As a bonus, that way I never have to bother with eye contact. Couldn’t care less if people think it’s rude: if I took the sunglasses off I’d inevitably forget to make eye contact and they would think it was rude anyway. Fuck eye contact.
phantomwise@lemmy.mlOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are the modern design trends you hate most?English3·8 days agoI do get the efficiency point, and it did improve accessibility massively. I don’t want to downplay that. Like not having huge paragraphs of text take the whole width of the screen anymore helped improve readability a lot. Or pages of text over a background image… that was a nightmare. But it would be nice to have efficiency and accessibility without every website looking the same. There has to be a way to make websites look interesting without the design hindering users from reaching the information they want… But I assume that it would require a lot more effort, and that’s not a priority for most websites. I guess the priority isn’t to look interesting anymore but SEO? Maybe it comes from the changing nature of the internet, with big websites getting most of the traffic and replacing everything else? Like having markets with crazy stalls everywhere replaced by malls… I guess it’s easier for a small website made by one person about a topic they are passionate about to take the risk of a creative design than it would be for Facebook to do it.
phantomwise@lemmy.mlOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are the modern design trends you hate most?4·8 days agoMinimalist web design is making me miss the mess that was the old internet. The terrible designs with dozen of bright elements all assaulting your eyes, the blinking stuff everywhere giving you seizures, the ugly animated GIFs whose pixels you could count, the absence of any coherence for colors and text formatting… It was awful, but at least it was interestingly awful. Each website had it’s own unique flavor of awful. Now it’s convenient, but it’s all the same flavor of boring and bland convenience.
phantomwise@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is a movie that "looks like" it would suck, but actually is well written and acted and a good time?English72·8 days agoThe Suicide Squad from 2021. The previous Suicide Squad movie was a disaster and you’re making ANOTHER ONE? That movie had no right to be as entertaining as it was.
Also The Batman. Comic book movie: check. Comic book character that has been done to death: check. Everything has to be grim and dark and realistic: check. When I say “everything has to be dark” I also mean the visuals: check. But it was fine, surprisingly.
Fromage!

phantomwise@lemmy.mlOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are the modern design trends you hate most?English7·9 days agoI was looking at pc parts recently and not only was there RGB towers… but also RGB CPU. And RGB GPU. And RGB RAM. And RGB fan. RGB pretty much everything… I guess now your computer can double as disco ball should the need arise
phantomwise@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If someone said “humans suck, but nature is a perfectly beautiful creation 😍” what examples would you think of that show nature being (1) independent of humans and (2) brutal and grotesque?English3·11 days agoMalaria. Cholera. The black death. Syphilis. I could go on but you probably get the point…
phantomwise@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•ESL speakers, when did you learn English?English4·11 days agoI learnt English as a child when we got dial-up internet because many applications were not translated and anyways most troubleshooting forums were in English. We had an English class at school but the motivation to actually pay attention was COMPUTEEEEEERS 😄
Now it feels so weird talking about computer stuff in French, I have no clue how to explain anything because it all comes instinctively in English 😅
phantomwise@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Ahoy, what's the most unhinged wierd shower curtain I can put in a shower.English2·11 days agoA semi-translucent one with the blurry silhouette of people making out printed on it.
They don’t even pretend it’s for security reasons and just admit it’s for ads 🤣
Rice cooker saved my life. I add whatever I have lying around that doesn’t require cooking like ham, pickles, canned veggies or fruits, fresh or dried fruits, etc, and if I’m feeling fancy I might boil eggs. Plus mushroom sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, or soy sauce. If you can find black rice in asian supermarkets it’s even better.
phantomwise@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you had to ruin an entire app/website by integrating automatic logout, which app would you choose to achieve maximum damage?English1·1 month agoTwitter… wait no that would actually a good thing to force people to step back even only for a few seconds

The developer doesn’t provide a way for you to request that your data be deleted
Not big fans of the GDRP I assume 😂
The AI bots wanted to attend but the tech to give them robot bodies isn’t ready yet. It’s okay though, they were there in spirit.
