What an interesting piece - cc @[email protected]

For those (like me) who have no idea what Terra Nil is:

“Terra Nil is an intricate environmental strategy game about transforming a barren wasteland into a thriving, balanced ecosystem. Bring life back to a lifeless world by purifying soil, cleaning oceans, planting trees, and reintroducing wildlife, then leave without a trace.”

Why replace lead pipes at huge costs when you can just shoot criminals?

Never has a user name been more appropriate

Mastodon is great, especially if you use a well made app to browse it, like Ice Cubes, Ivory or Mona.

All depends on who you follow. If you follow people who make stuff (art, software, etc) then you’ll find your feed a lot more upbeat.

Well he only did SOME of it. CSS and JavaScript is all after him.

They mean buy a new phone.

For those (like me) who are confused what it is:

“Alexandrite is a beautiful desktop-first alternative web UI for Lemmy, a social link aggregator and discussion forum for the Fediverse.”

The mod-heavy focus sounds excellent I must say.

It seems, unlike Elk.Zone for instance, there’s no pre-hosted instance of this yet. Is that correct?

Note that Kbin has a couple of colour variables set up in its CSS. The best way to colour your theme, is to use those (& override them).

Also, you’ll want a semi-colon after your lines, that way you can use more than one.

Div {height:100px; weight:100px;}

Top! Werd tijd.

Ook goed dat er een Keri Koti concert in Carré is. Toont aan dat hoe salonfähig het is, en niet per sé het onderwerp onder het tapijt wordt geschoven.

How does it work if I come across an abandoned community (with a great name)? Can the owners/mods be modified, like on Reddit?

Through general media everyone’s imbibed a bit of Star Trek anyway, so just start with Lower Decks and forget the rest ;)

Good bot!

Great points!

100% phone for me.

Laptops are for work!

But in lieu to that; for a cost effective option, get somewhere on a metro line - anywhere on the Amsterdam metro or tram will be close enough to get around & to the museums (most of which are conveniently situated at Museumplein (MuseumSquare).

So low budget would be around Sloterdijk, high budget would be somewhere on the inner Canals (Singel, Keizersgracht, Herengracht, Prinsengracht).

Heck, if you stay very central in neighbouring Utrecht, you can get a 20min train into Amsterdam Centraal or Zuid (South) and not be inconvenienced too much.

On balance, if budget allows, stay in Zuid/Buitenveldert in a basic hotel and either cycle or catch the tram up.

Remember: no part of amsterdam is unsafe (by any standard) & all is well connected by public transport (just check google maps).

Also remember: Amsterdam is popular with tourists all year round, so hotels are relatively dear & AirBnB’s are limited (for housing stock reasons).

Your hesitancy is well appreciated. That’s why we have a pinned Question & Answer post though 😅

It needs to be solved in code + ui, and ideally in the default Kbin/Lemmy interfaces, so that every new user’s experience is the best it can be.

At the end of the day it’s all about friction, the less of it the better.

Thanks, that's helpful!
