In my opinion, the bottom toolbar should be reserved for most frequently used navigation.
Settings shouldn't be something that is prominent. Once the user have configured the app to their liking, they should only occasionally visit the settings page.
I agree that settings should go to the navigation pane on the left, just like in Eternity.
As for the profile page, I think it is good as is, and not sure about the benefits of adding a panel on the right. My suggestion is to make use of the empty space (see circled) and move the logout/manage account buttons there. Add labels to the buttons as they are not entirely intuitive.
I am one of them.
Too many great games, too little time.
I disagree.
- Mbin's terminology (inherited from Kbin) is annoying. Thread vs post vs magazine, boost vs upvote etc are unconventional and annoying.
- No default sort option. Every time I want to see new posts, I have to manually select "new"
- User instance and community instance are hidden
- Difficult to manage/view subscribed magazines
- Image upload dialogue is confusing
Lemmy has alternative UI such as Voyager and Photon, they are way ahead of Mbin in terms of look and feel.
What do you like about Mbin's UX?

Create Windows 11 installation media and bypass the requirement for Microsoft account, with Rufus
Switch to Linux if you can. But if you are stuck with Windows for whatever reason, you can install Windows 11 and use a local account, by creating a Windows installation media using Rufus. You can also bypass the requirements for TPM 2.0, and skip privacy questions.
If you already have Windows 11 installed, you can switch from online account to local account:
- Go to the Settings app,
- Proceed to Accounts > Your info,
- And select "Sign in with a local account instead".
Shadow of the Colossal Pomeranian II - Furballus Maximus
Prompt: a colossal pomeranian in the style of shadow of the colossus PS2 game with epic landscape and confident pose.
Here is the prequel: https://lemmy.cafe/post/2921358
An excellent film but I wouldn't call it "without sound". In fact sound is extremely important in this film. It's more like "without spoken words".
That's voice chat which has been there for a long time.
The 4o voice model is different. 4o can chat much more naturally, and you can interrupt the voice chat in 4o.
Try it, you can't interrupt the chat unless you touch the screen.
You can go back to see the 4o voice chat demo, and you will find out which different it is.
I am a free user, and it is still chatgpt 4.
And the new voice model doesn't seem to be available yet, even for paid users.
Is it able to use a LLM?
Then there will be class action lawsuit from all the owners who paid for the devices.

Once my work day is over and my baby is asleep, there’s nothing I love more than settling in with my weighted blanket, grabbing some pillows, and playing video games. I don’t get to play video games as much as I’d like to anymore, so I need every tool at my disposal working for me to make sure I can maximize my time. I reached out to my fellow gamers here at Mozilla, and here’s how we use Firefox to help us game.

What is a tankie?
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes or their allies. More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics, whether contemporary or historical.
