Not slowly though. The wheels are rapidly falling off as we speak.

Yes, thank you for sharing! I think it looks good and should be useful to new users. I've bookmarked it.

As for adding anything, this may be too advanced and could detract from what you have written for beginners, but might work as a second article: tips for linking across instances. For example:

  • To link to a community so that it opens the reader's local copy on their own instance, use the !communityname@instancename.tld format.
  • To find your local instance's copy of a linked comment or post in order to interact with it (comment, upvote, downvote, report, etc), search the linked URL string in your own instance's search to find it.

Cool to see a Linux smartphone, but holy moly, what a terrible name!

  • Completely flat chiclet keyboards on laptops. It drives me absolutely insane because I can barely tell if my fingers are aligned with the keys. Thanks, Apple!
  • Hidden controls on desktop software or desktop websites (ex: hidden exit, forward, and back controls on picture galleries)
  • Hiding or collapsing scrollbars on desktop software

In general, it seems like there's a major trend in design of form beating the heck out of function. It looks pretty! Who cares if you can actually use it or not?

~~I haven't used Blender in a long time, but the graph in the OP says it's Z-up?~~

Edit: never mind, I misunderstood what you wrote!

Ah, yes, I can understand that. I remember reading about all the issues that .world was having in the early days. Good to hear you like .zip though.

[–] Cricket@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

All good points.

Faster than .zip? Perhaps. But when I moved from lemmy.sdf.org to lemm.ee I went back to using SDF several times because .ee would have major slowdowns. Which is weird because of how hands off the SDF admins seem to be. Perhaps the performance has more to do with network location and resources allocated to the server?

Exactly. People will have different definitions of "good".
