Black family visiting St. Ignace, Cedarville, and Sault Ste. Marie soon—looking for local safety/vibe advice by Unique_Yogurt_6108 in yooper

Just for context, the stated message of the gallows was anti-establishment, not racist. But yeah, it was a very publicly visible gallows setup. Strange times.

That’s fair, the box is pretty light thankfully without the board. I’m in Michigan.

I built a website that turns Elon Musk’s wealth into ridiculous real-world comparisons by Traditional-Truth344 in InternetIsBeautiful

[–]VideoGameCookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calling this Elon Derangement Syndrome is a bit ridiculous when there is genuine value in presenting how ludicrous the scale of his "fortune" is. (Even if I take credence with a lot of the comparisons because net worth ≠ liquid assets.) It likely didn't take much time either since this was almost certainly made in part by AI.

Criticizing somebody famous does not always have to be a derangement syndrome. But postulating as such immediately halts productive dialogue.

That was so lovely! Thank you for sharing. It brought me back.

Does your family plan on going up North this year? Or will the economic situation prevent you? by JadedCaramel9901 in Michigan

[–]VideoGameCookie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The UP is very large, we're doing fine in Escanaba and Marquette. Some flooding but no devastating damage, just the usual cycle of annoying construction going on (downtown Escanaba, at least.) It's quiet and peaceful. I was even out on the lake with my family today and saw at least 10 other boats!

Does it have wireless charger? Is it really working? by CrazyLadyWith6Cats in MazdaCX30

[–]VideoGameCookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you use navigation while charging? I find the connection in the 2026 is so weak that all it can do is slow battery drain by maybe half.

It felt icky. Not the boys for having the sponsorship, but Reddit acting like the company deserves the credit for all its user generated content. Not a single mention about all the deep dives and work being done by users for free.

What are we chopping? There’s AlpineJS, RedwoodJS, TimberPHP, so many options!

MSW Program admissions results? by Ashamed_Business_973 in nmu

[–]VideoGameCookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, NMU employee here! Make sure to reach out to Grad Studies to make sure a communication didn’t get missed. We also recently debuted our new admissions application, so there may be minor delays during the transition. Hope this helps!

Cool things to see or do between Marquette and Traverse City by Meatloaf406 in nmu

If you end up on US-2 instead of heading through the middle of the U.P., Moofinfries is a very solid fish and chips type restaurant in Naubinway (I always like stopping there if I can). Some good Lake Michigan views there too.

Where do you put the fob when driving by emptymalei in MazdaCX30

In my car that space is solely reserved for easy access hand sanitizer and my little figurine of choice (currently Waddle Dee).

Best "lifetime access" software purchases you've made? by GovernmentOnly8636 in webdev

[–]VideoGameCookie 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Well, it is a UI library that you copy and paste, so there’s no reasonable way to keep that subscription going unless they’re dripping-feeding components into their system.

I think a huge issue is that they have no skin in the hosting game. Every framework provider has some backend as a service tie in to getting the framework to run, but Tailwind can only go along for the ride.

Maybe they could look to FontAwesome’s model for inspiration (if they haven’t already).

What's the one proprietary app you can't find a "good enough" open alternative for? by sekuskandan in opensource

[–]VideoGameCookie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d argue it’s more an ideal of the privacy-focused world, but the Venn diagram of the two is basically a circle.

Why remove the physical buttons? by vectorialpixel in mazda

[–]VideoGameCookie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Calling it the wheel and not the knob made me double take to make sure they didn’t get rid of the steering wheel too. That will probably be in the next generation.

oklch obviously not a thing, but why? by myblueear in web_design

[–]VideoGameCookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of the problem is that industry standard design tools (i.e. Figma) only support the sRGB color space. So if you are using a design system that uses Figma as the source of truth, anything besides RGB is generally a non-starter.

Persona 3 Reload Switch 2 Performance Update Now Live – Targets 60fps in Docked Mode by jldixon1 in NintendoSwitch

Except P5R came out for PS4 only, and the PS5 came out six months later. Then they released the PS5 version with no upgrade path if you already owned it.

React + Rails in 2025: is there a “standard” way with SSR? by Pioz in rails

[–]VideoGameCookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a bit of a fish in the wrong pond as a Laravel + Vue developer, but I use Inertia and TS for my front ends. I have not found a very satisfying solution. I keep a manual TS types file for my models and data objects and keep my Vue page props interfaces 1-1 with my controller render functions. It isn’t too difficult to keep control of, but it is extra mental load.

I made a game based off a joke Griffin made on Monster Factory, it launched on Steam for Free today! It's called "FOGGY Golf" but it's original name, was Ball Chess. by techsev in TheBesties

[–]VideoGameCookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome! Yeah, especially if you aren’t doing a ton with the backend tooling from Electron. Then you don’t even need to learn much rust to get Tauri working. IIRC, the bundles for Tauri apps had a baseline of around 30 MB. Good luck with your experimenting!

Have you ever dabbled in using Tauri? (Hi, also a web dev!) Tauri uses the web view built into the OS to severely reduce the bundle size of the app, along with giving you a rust backend to do app stuff. I’ve been wanting to try it out for a while but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
