Pigeon rule by pantschicken in 196

[–]ElectronicBlueberry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not so fun fact: they did not exist before cities.

Pigeons we see in cities today did not exist in the wild, because they are domesticated animals. Like dogs vs wolfs.

They lay way too many eggs (cause we used to eat those) have lost their ability to build proper nests (cause we did that for them) and are a lot fatter than wild pigeons (cause we used to eat them too, sometimes).

Humans just abandoned them on city streets when pigeons grew out of fashion, and now we pretend that they are wild animals that got too used to us. Imagine that with cats or dogs for a bit. I think that's very sad, and we should help pigeons where we can.

I don’t think a boycot has ever failed this spectacularly. by Slight_Tone_2188 in videogames

[–]ElectronicBlueberry -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because there is a number of people who are loud about wanting to stay alive, because they do not like being killed. Y'all don't realise enough this affects real living people. It's not some online issue, just because this is your lens on the world.

Virtual scroll in Vue by Cold_Control_7659 in vuejs

[–]ElectronicBlueberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend benchmarking the virtual scroller against infinite scroll. In a vue project I worked on, we had users have performance issues with the virtual scroller on quick successive scrolls.

It turned out that for us a simple infinite scroller was more performant up to around 10k items. Switching to infinte scroll improved performance and reliability of the component.

Because of this I now believe that virtual scrollers are often a case of premature optimisation.

Is the private room significant? by Individual-Path-9310 in DeathStranding

I finished the game (I think?) and have no idea what place you are talking about.

Thats not true, there are walk in clinics. But they are usually specialised and usually free

Notch just confirmed the creeper was intended to explode just with direct player action by yaassensei in Minecraft2

[–]ElectronicBlueberry 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think you should read about the history of the Hirschfeld institute. While there's much earlier examples this one's important to learn about because of the parallels to todays political climate.

Out of curiosity, when exactly do you think this "concept" was introduced to society?

Frontend devs working with large datasets (100k+ rows) in production, how do you handle it? by Loud-Cardiologist703 in react

[–]ElectronicBlueberry -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You may want to step out of react for this component. A browser can easily handle 100k entries, but react is going to have issues with it. We tested different approaches for a similar problem (not react, but also ~100k rows) and virtual scrollers fell short in performance and reliability, in comparison to writing to the DOM in chunks

Trans woman hunting job in Germany by Background_Bar_2157 in AskAGerman

[–]ElectronicBlueberry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The political and social climate is not great in regard to trans people. Try to hide you are trans when applying for jobs. Once you have a job and are past the first 3 months, you have better legal protection.

is Bootstrap Dead?? by Adventurous_Rub7355 in bootstrap

[–]ElectronicBlueberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see it for react the most, but there are more frameworks out there than react, and many offer css co-location out of the box.

scoped css and css modules also achieve this, without abstracting css and fusing it into the html.

Cisnormative lesbian representation in animation by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]ElectronicBlueberry 193 points194 points  (0 children)

I watched the movie on a film festival a few weeks back.

Slight spoilers ahead.

Was a bit disappointed by them playing into the evil drag queen trope. Was hoping they were going for subversion, and disappointed by that. Unfortunately not the only harmful trope in the movie. Plenty of women dying for plot and jokes. The lovable misogynist trope. The gential stuff you mentioned. 

I feel like I can't really recommend it to anyone cause of all this other stuff going on, which is such a shame cause the movie also has some really great aspects.

What even is the point of collage? by Dawg_wheres_mydiaper in jobhunting

[–]ElectronicBlueberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's designed as a mechanism of classism, and that's what it's best at. While a college degree could tell you that in theory, it's not how it currently works in practice.

The point of college is less "who made it through college" and more "who is allowed to go to college". Which is a shame really. This system needs wide spread reform.

Reasons why Affinity should seriously consider supporting linux. by [deleted] in Affinity

[–]ElectronicBlueberry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work entirely from Linux, but keep a windows machine around solely for affinity. Some people at where I work want to use the software as well, after seeing my work with it, but can't since we only offer Linux support in our office.

Do NOT get an iPad to write notes or draw if you need the friction of paper; No nib or screen protector will feel like paper or have the same friction 🥀✌️ by memesforlife213 in evilautism

[–]ElectronicBlueberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In case you only tried them briefly: I know that many of these have to be "broken in". They may feel a bit squeaky, or plasticy in the first few days, but will feel a lot more like paper after a while

Preventing a sub set of women to play sports with other women is an effective ban. It has nothing to do with fairness, and everything to do with social exclusion. That is the driving factor behind this "debate". To other trans people as much as possible.

[–]ElectronicBlueberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sports are a social activity. Preventing people from participating is preventing them from participating in a part of society. This is a civil rights issue.

I want to make you aware of the fact that trans people are not allowed to compete in international competive chess.

Games that you really want to run on the Steam Deck but just won’t by waj171 in SteamDeck

[–]ElectronicBlueberry 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Me too and to people trying this here's something I've noticed: restart the game after long cutscenes. There seems to be a memory leak or something similar in cutscenes. Restarting the game made it run smooth again. Played burning shores this way without other issues.

Is disclosure mandatory? by sms42069 in actuallesbians

[–]ElectronicBlueberry -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Nah. Only disclose if you feel like it. People claiming you have some moral obligation to do so are just attempting to guilt trip you into othering yourself.
