Ooh, this looks cute.

I’m hoping this’ll be funny/wholesome like an anime that hits the same vibes as the movie: “While you were sleeping”

The rest of the comments are jokes. But this is really great news.

Taylor Swift is one of the most influential people on this planet. And she sings Country music—which often has fans that skew conservative.

When “The Dixie Chicks” spoke out against George W. Bush 20 years ago, it tanked their singing career.

Even Dolly Parton takes what happened to the Dixie Chicks as a sign that she has to be politically neutral.

Taylor Swift taking a stance is a huge win.

Reading the quote, It doesn’t seem like that huge of a win.

Trump lies so often that him accidentally telling the truth seems like random chance.

Is it too late to avoid perpetuating the Reddit culture of adding “Porn” to titles of Fediverse communities?

As you can see in your title and description for this post, you have to stop and reiterate every time that your community is safe for work. It’s just bad branding.

Why not:

sublimeguitars

stunningguitars

pureguitars

guitar-awe

Woah, imagine niche communities of incredible photography that all use -awe, as a suffix. And then there’s an accompanying sister community with -aww as a suffix.

Could have everything cute that features a guitar and a puppy or whatever in guitaraww. And stunning guitar gear and photography in guitarawe.

I do like this idea! Cheap too!

Some annoying neighbor kids keep ringing our doorbell and running away. I’m hoping getting one of these will stop all the ding dong ditching :/

I hate needing to buy one though. It doesn’t feel good

Genuinely a strong argument to allow work from home.

Umm… weird question. I guess I still don’t “get” the fediverse. How do I click on the link to view and join your community?

It isn’t marked up by a link in my Memmy app and I’m not sure what to do with it.

Standard wedding photography is set up to make photos look “old”. And it’s so hideous and awful. Most filters used for wedding photography look atrocious.

Let major moments in time look like they were experienced at that time! I’m looking at you, black and white photograph from 2016. Artificially making something old, when at one time they were the present, gives so much incongruity to the experience.

Let something as important as a wedding day look like it’s a product of that time. Not from decades previously.

They’re trying to solve one of the hardest problems in Computer Science: Naming things.

What do you call the framework, or design system—that thing that’s not quite a glossary of the terms—we’re going to use to describe the meta conversations around design?

“Design language” encompasses the colors, spacing, tokens, typography ramps, general rules, and all the other fiddly bits to unify on so that the more interesting parts of design and user experience can happen.

Naming things is hard :/

Genuinely, life has only gotten better each year. All that time I wasn’t in my 30’s was pure horror. 40’s are looking even better too.

 
 

I wish I had taken a before picture. Both of these shelves used to be full of crumpled plastic bags. Now all the bags are in tight t-shirt style folded squares in a leftover tissue box.

This was one of the most insane recommendation Marie Kondo made in one of her books, and I was horrified even hearing the suggestion. But now that I've tried folding all my plastic bags, the space saved is really nice. Though now I feel like a crazy person, lol.
