yes i know exactly what you mean…

yeah you did, don't worry

it was just a small semantic feature i happened to notice. i'm impressed you managed to get my meaning even though i apparently used the wrong phrase, though [edit: or possibly i didn't, i guess]

sorry :(

Judging if something is pre or post apocalyptic, while allowing abandoned stuff to be pre-apocalyptic, feels more difficult.

yeah that's fair, that's why i do accept it's conjecture. i just go by the kind of "feeling" of the piece, but i know that isn't exactly something you can use

i've also just noticed i used "built from scratch" and "scratch-built" as opposites in that comment, which i imagine also isn't hugely helpful..

fair enough, it is conjecture either way

perhaps pre-apocalyptic vs post-apocalyptic is a better distinguisher? and i'd say this looks pre; but it could be recently post and the electricity's still running. so i won't fault you for being confused

i mean there could be people in a wasteland (exempli gratia) even though it's clearly post-apocalyptic, so i guess that was bad advice to give you

ah see now this one i personally would have put in !imaginarydegradation

it's not unsuited to here, but to me it looks more dilapidated than abandoned^?^

ah, that makes sense

although they've both chosen almost exactly the same camera angle, too

i do slightly prefer this one though, i like the cyrillic and led readout (also i appreciate that you've chosen the nicer lighting of the two from this post)

ah, a certain sense of deja vu...

(which i haven't got around to posting, i know)

i think it depends

i mean it looks shitty on my screenshot, but that's because it's a phone not a tablet. my eyes can move easier than my thumbs, so i'd rather glance than have to scroll twice as far

i disagree with empty space usually, but i don't disagree that it would be better filled with, say actionable buttons rather than text that needs to be read

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i'd find it much better as it's more information dense. that's why apps have preferences.

but i was just pointing out that there's definitely a "sensible alternative"

until there's proper content warnings on lemmy, i'm using nsfw (for this sphere specifically) for any nazi insigniæ (see sidebar)

not because i think nazi insignia are particularly trigger-y; but because lemmy's pretty politically charged at the moment^[which is sad, because i'd love something like /r/propagandaposters; but i'm afeard it would turn into !leftsthetics@lemmygrad.ml], and i want it to be clear that this is not a pro-nazi space

I wonder if they could use firefox sync

i imagine it'd be more work as it's not pre-built, but samsung internet does it so maybe mozilla are a little more lax with who uses their services
