My first thought when I saw this - “oh hey look, razzle dazzle clothes” which is my personal mental association of the famous scene in Stripes movie, with Dazzle Camouflage which I always thought was a neat idea.

In late May 2026 images appeared on social media showing Russian Ural and KAMAZ trucks painted in the classic dazzle camouflage. Supposedly the unusual paint scheme is to confuse Ukrainian drones controlled by artificial intelligence and disrupt their pattern recognition, and not to trick the human eye. Ukraine has experimented with AI for targeting as seen in Operation Spiderweb, and is conducting a deep strike campaign to disrupt Russian logistics.[72][73]

(just talking shop) I’ve poked at them, you’d think the old.lemmy.ca would be appealing but not for me - I rather like this Lemmy webUI overall as a design. Good font sizes, line spacing and so forth - it has a well formed comfortable feel which I can tell has an experienced eye to it (minor details matter). Conversely, when I look at, say piefed or old.lemmy I just got “ugh, those fonts! that line spacing!”. The default UI is actually a well crafted piece of usability kit - the infobox is an Achilles heel.

Random: I’ve used the Lemmy webUI details to craft similar feeling looks to HackerNews and (old) Reddit using nothing more than uBlock filters. Nothing grandiose but the fine tuning makes them sorta feel like the Lemmy UI (but worse, holy cow is there so much hard coded HTML in these old sites - lipstick on a pig but it helps).

Honest input to your thoughts - as a registered/logged-in user, that Lemmy home page infobox is a UI/UX nightmare - it blocks my quick access to the second box below that has my subscribed communities. Upon visiting, I would immediately collapse that top box without ever looking at it; I now have a simple uBlock Origin rule that hides the top infobox on the home page for me automatically. On old.reddit, the list of subscribed things is a dropdown top left so they avoid this UI/UX problem with stacked infoboxes.

Look, I touched the bride’s butt once at the reception. Never living that down am I?

GenX here, using the 80/20 rule 80% of my friend’s marriages (probably higher %) have ended in divorce. Typically after kids are involved. :-/

… “OK the hard way” or “I wasn’t joking” hmm

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmen_Miranda

Maria do Carmo Miranda da Cunha[a] (9 February 1909 – 5 August 1955), known professionally as Carmen Miranda (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈkaʁmẽj miˈɾɐ̃dɐ]), was a Portuguese-born Brazilian singer, dancer, and actress. Nicknamed “the Brazilian Bombshell,”[1][2] she was known for her signature fruit hat outfits that she wore in her American films.

It is, the ranges mark up the ammo (what business doesn’t) as they sell small quantities to a captive audience who will pay. Ammoseek represents the other end of the spectrum, ppl buying wholesale in larger quantities. Not represented are the hand loaders, typically sports-oriented going through a thousand a week in practice buying components at cost.

One I snack on with unsalted tortilla chips, the other I do not. But now I have to try it.

I am not trying to stand out excessively. … I don’t want something commonly mispronounced.

Me trying to come up with a new domain name for a website. Also add “easy to spell for 5th graders” to the list because repeating it to someone on the phone is painful sometimes and they still get it wrong.

My immediate thought: the paperwork system of the world would fail. Correcting an extremely unique misspelled name (let’s say it’s two letters transposed) falls into that weird bucket of “close enough typos” that the OP would never recover. I’d be worried most about the financial systems screwing me over.

IMHO, best to change to something clearly different so that the paperwork world is given a clear indication of intentional change. Broadcast the intent loud and clear to force systems to change and not ignore it as “some stupid typo.” $0.02

I see folks mentioning going back to their dormant LFM accounts. The Metabrainz Foundation has a project ListenBrainz, a more open FOSS style version; if you’re going to spin some scrobbling cycles maybe check it out:

(I stopped scrobbling years ago, privacy concerns)

Stars are just someone’s bookmark (me included) because there’s no simple “bookmark this because I’ll forget in an hour and want to look at it later when I have time.” If one trusts Stars, you’re literally trusting a bookmark that I didn’t put more than 2 seconds of thought into clicking because I have a bad memory. Many I know do the same.

I go straight to code history, show me what the commits look like. One can derive a lot about the project based on just the way the commit messages are written before looking at the code being changed. How the code is changed over time (process, communication, methods, etc.) adds more layers to the qualitative observation. I move on to Issues when I want to see how the devs interact with the users having problems, which is another story.

The dichotomy here is you can’t be famous hosting exploits on smaller forges. Gotta be on the big platforms where you can be starred and forked for social media cred to make news stories to impress your friends. IIRC I think HeartBleed (maybe ShellShock?) was the tip of this popularity iceberg…

dunno about anyone else but even when sock shoe repeat order, I need to stand and wiggle my feet before tying. gotta get that perfect fit

Oh my, that sounds bad. I wonder how many certs were up for renewal… thanks for sharing I didn’t see this in the news.

Feline leukemia (FeLV) snd aids (FIV) are a thing, I highly recommend a vet visit for tests before introducing to Paxton. A full blood test & vax shots, inspection can run $$, look around your area for rescue groups, call them and ask who they go to for care.
