Well that and the fact they are made of asbestos, and raising and lowering friable asbestos fabric all the time in a public space isn’t the best idea.

I’ve invented new mic tech!

You’re going to use that to make audio more intelligible right?

…

Right?!

Nice, looks slick

I’d like to second this. Apollo had a nice feature where you could flip an option in setting to change the <username> text to just say “account”. Also while you’re reading, long pressing the account button to switch users was pretty nice too… Loving the app!

This is the issue.

How are new users meant to know what instances federate with which other instances and which are blocked? E.g. that Beehaw defederated with the Lemmy.world instances?

What (most) users want is to be able to see a sane set of defaults and from there make their own choices about what they do and don’t want to see. But by the time they’ve made an account. Subbed to a few communities etc there is a wall to leaving for another instance if you don’t like the way something is being run given there is no easy way to migrate your profile to another instance that may suit you better.

Now don’t get me wrong, online harassment sucks to put it lightly. Nobody should have to put up with it and it’s entirely (to reuse my previous example) beehaw’s right to block harassment causing instances, but that doesn’t make it any easier for new people trying to get into the lemmy ecosystem.

You just know that instead of reducing prices through competition in the GPU space, as soon as intel is broadly competitive feature and power wise, they’ll be rinsing the market just as strong as team red or green. And the new situation will be three sets of overprices gpus instead of two sets of overpriced gpus. This is intel we’re talking about here! They’re not exactly consumer friendly unless they absolutely have to be.

Main takeaway: I like it a lot, greatly prefer it over the current one.

Minor suggestions:

Perhaps scale down the tongue. It’s a bit overwhelming.

I think the eyes should be a different colour, they’re a bit close to the background which with them them so big makes the eyes blend in. Typically you want eyes to be …well… eyecatching! Though I’m not sure what to suggest as you don’t want too many colours on the icon.

Personally I prefer flatter designs, but I don’t really mind a more skeuomorphic design.

Also I am not a designer, so ignore me with my blessing haha
