  • It’s mostly because people consume most content via apps and the web on smart phones now that have screens that are anywhere from 4.5" - 6.5" in size, and sadly more complex logos just don’t look that good when they’re squished into an area that’s a fraction of the total screen size. Where as in the past people might see a Pringles ad or anything related to Pringles on the TV, in a news paper, on a billboard etc which have way more space so the details are visible.

    It is pretty unfortunate though, it’s the same reason the Firefox logo (and like everything else lol) was made minimalistic. I miss the old Firefox logo, I didn’t use Firefox in 2005-2009 but that one is definitely my favourite, the 2009-2013 one is nice too though which is when I first started using FF I think. Compared to today’s logo even the 2013-2017 one is great though





  • I honestly have no idea what you’re talking about, left leaning Americans seem to talk about Canada positively all of the time, in reference to its health care system and generally aboit how they want their country to be more like Canada. The only thing negative they say is in reference how native people have been treated and still continue to be treated there which I think is right.

    I am not from either country and this is just based on what I see Americans online say about Canada/Canadians.





  • Huh interesting. So I guess replies appear in order of when they were made and not weighted based on upvotes, seen as there appears to be no equivent on Mastodon? Quite cool (and a bit confusing) how Activity Pub is stitching everything together. I wish I could see more content from Mastodon show up in Lemmy, not sure how that would work with communities though.

    Also, I notice the web version of Mastodon has a really nice UI



  • So on Mastadon do you see Lemmy posts as the Mastadon equivalent of a Tweet?

    I never see posts and comments from Mastadon users on Lemmy even though I believe it’s more popular so you would expect there to be more or at least a similar number as from Lemmy users. I think your comment is only the second I’ve seen from Mastadon users.

    Like the other reply says, the user tag of the last Mastadon user I saw was [name]@null, though yours is fine for me now. Also odd that your attached images don’t show even though Lemmy has that feature too. Maybe these issues will be ironed out soon




  • The biggest problem with modern advertising is that they try to sell you on the idea before establishing what the idea even is.

    This is definitely a running theme with ads, in fact there has been multiple instances where I have seen an ad, and despite seeing the entire duration I literally have no idea what was actually been advertised to me haha.




  • Ah I am the opposite, I prefer the self check outs so that I don’t have to talk to anyone. I don’t know why but I always feel obligated to think of something to say when going through human checkout. If there’s an issue with the machine during check out that can be a bit anxiety inducing but the issues are fairly common so I just sort of shrug and am like “it just started beeping” and they make it stop within a few seconds.

    For the same reason I’ve been cutting my own hair for nearly 6 years now lol
