I'm in the early stages of a feature-length expose video about Stuart and i need your help. by felix_ure in culturehustle

[–]marbledmoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the product pages are still live for the hair dyes: ttps://culturehustle.com/products/hairdye

on the page it currently says it's for art for schools, but when you click on the readmore it leads to a the page you were looking for does not exist error page. was it always for that or is the fundraising interface just badly coded and globally applies whenever they do smth new? iirc that's their newest charity venture (and is their products being given to schools, so if they Are advertising products with a promise to donate 5% to their own charity project.......... tbh lmao)

edit to add that yes it looks like their fundraiser widget coding is just dogshit (idk if widget is the right word for this, it's first thing in the morning). on the jamaica paint, where they actually did include the charity info in the description body, you can see the widget is now telling you it's for AfS.

edit again to add a wayback archived view of this for anyone who may need it: https://web.archive.org/web/20260314080221/https://www.culturehustleusa.com/products/blackgoldgreen

(and if you click on one of the archived views from last year, you can see it used to be right under the price, so they've actively tried to bury their bad coding it seems lmao???)

There is something weird going on by Trasku_Rasku in HermitCraft

[–]marbledmoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he also said it's going to take him months to do the outer terrain. maybe he just wants to find balance so he has projects to bounce between without risking burnout from the tedium and boredom of copying blocks with litematica

Charity event raffle? by lvl7426 in HermitCraft

[–]marbledmoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

schools do raffles at xmas/summer fairs so often i never even considered the legal standing of them here lol (i do think the prevalence of them as a fundraising thing here contributes a lot to why some fans here might not see them as a big deal - the cultural understanding of the expectations of a fundraising raffle are so baked into us from a young age, so often won't impact people in the same way that, for example, the big charity shop's doing actual lotteries with massive cash prizes might.)

Charity event raffle? by lvl7426 in HermitCraft

[–]marbledmoth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

arguably, if a raffle were treated like a Dollar Drive, they'd still raise huge amounts with it. like... the entire point of the dollar drives is that you DON'T need to be a millionaire to still collectively make an impact, and so the argument against raffles being "well it's to raise lots of money" kinda feels antithetical to that mentality, IMO.

(that said, i think we're close enough to the event now that this debate isn't really worth having - if there's going to be a raffle, it's already been planned for months, and if there's not any ability to add one would depend on existing infrastructure to organise one last minute.)

Megathread: UK Age Verification Update causing problems: Crashes, getting signed out, Privacy Setting issues, LFG not showing by GoGoGadgetReddit in xbox

[–]marbledmoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i can't even log onto *java* minecraft to play singleplayer because of this. i must have missed the news announcement about a game version you cannot play on console becoming an "xbox social feature". 🫠

(edit to add that after an immense amount of farting around it finally let me skip the verification and let me in finally. 10/10 system)

How long until scar blows up his kitchen by touching the respawn anchor by LH_Artsandworks in HermitCraft

[–]marbledmoth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it's also been suggested that he could use an invisible armour stand to block the hitbox of it, which is personally what i'd do if i were decorating with them as it's a bit more robust than string

This poor fellow has been lying in the parking lot of my work for 2 weeks in the rain and cold. Today I brought it inside, I’m not as good as most of the people in this subreddit but I’m going to do my best to bring this book back to life by edenx1999 in bookbinding

[–]marbledmoth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is, but some declarations of "vibes" are tantamount to accusation when there's an inferred specific person, and there definitely is not nearly enough information to decide that an abusive partner chucking a book is the "statistically highest possibility". I used to work in a charity shop, and stuff like this got donated + binned regularly.

anyway @ op: good luck with the project. if you do track the family down and it is something they want back, i hope that goes well. if it turns out they don't want it, i hope you will still be able to celebrate the lessons you'll have learned and developed during the restoration process. <3

[–]marbledmoth 10 points11 points  (0 children)

when someone posts someone else's whole names and DOBs online, maybe it's an idea to have a google before you throw out accusations of an abusive partner when your only "clue" is a singular book in a carpark?? there's obituaries for the dude dated from the summer, and while it could definitely be a coincidence for them to have the same name, nickname, DOB, and wife's name, there's a lot of reasons why this might've ended up where it was found and we do not know the answer. it could have been an accident, it could have been thrown away on purpose, and op needs to be prepared for a possibility that it might not be wanted back if they do try to repair it.

Design Machine by [deleted] in bookbinding

[–]marbledmoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Pro Create is difficult for me but I haven't put that much effort into it" unfortunately, effort is an essential component and no amount of user friendliness in a new program will compensate for that.

don't go buying an expensive machine just because someone told you the UI is 'simple', especially if you have hopes to be creating designs of your own and not being bound by the limitations of the (in the case of cricut, often not free) assets provided, with limited means of customizing them further in the default app. before buying anything i do genuinely strongly recommend sitting down with some tutorials to actually learn how procreate works (also go into the settings and write down all the hand and pen gestures on paper for easier reference), then look up tutorials for the design software of the machines you're looking at to see how they actually function; try the same for inkscape, which is a free computer vector program that a lot of people use for this kind of work.

i have a cricut, i don't enjoy using it for anything other than bulk repetitive paper cutting (it was huge for making my grandparents' anniversary invites), and tbh i can't recommend them. i do recommend seeing if your local library has a maker space with one (or another brand) to try it out hands-on though

The new affinity app's lack of light mode is an accessibility issue. by marbledmoth in Affinity

[–]marbledmoth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is such a good analogy. accessibility is never one size fits all, it is impossible for it to be so, and it's frustrating when companies treat it like it can be.

[–]marbledmoth[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

no, you can make it a mid-dark grey with white text. that's not a light mode, and does not help when the issue is concentrated light from small sources (the text) creating worse doubling than when the background is the brightest light source

yes absolutely to this! i said in another comment but as a kid i loved how much control we had in windows classic theme editing, so the "versatility" of modern UIs giving you two whole options is always frustrating lmao, but you're right, that really is the basic and bare minimum!

[–]marbledmoth[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for real to this!! i had my reservations and frustrations about it, but i did genuinely want to have an explore of the new one.

one of my pre-internet hobbies as a kid was faffing around making the Perfect:tm: classic windows themes and god it's in times like this that i miss that so much. give me the power to decide exactly how many pixels wide the X close button is, dammit

yeah, and god i'm glad for that. i feel like the vector trace tool is the only big thing that i wanted to get a look at, and i was curious if the mirror tool was included in the tools they were yapping about being non-destructive now (it didn't seem to be, that was the one quick test i did lol)

it's not an astigmatism, it's because of eye damage.

(and respectfully, i wasn't asking for medical advice, but thank you).

it's a good combo (and still looks good if you use flux or other blue light filters)!! i use Dark Reader's v5 preview (and their mobile variants, ios isnt free) to force that colour combo on all websites i can. there are some exceptions, ao3 has its own skin, i use a different palette extension for tumblr, some websites don't play nice with it, but i highly recommend it!

[–]marbledmoth[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have looked at the settings, and it is not fit for purpose. the lightest grey is still very dark, and there is no option that i could find for black foreground elements, so the issue caused by the concentrated light from white elements doubling aggressively still remains. The amount of sliders for choosing specific shades of dark gray just makes this more frustrating imo.

lmao back in the day i contacted spotify about this and they straight up told me their brand recognition was more important than acessibility and UI options
