  • I think just general UI stuff across at least the homepage

    • Some buttons that wrap touch each other
    • There’s a banner at the top (since I don’t have an account) that has weird, off-center margins
    • When I first went to the site I guess the Explore dropdown didn’t load so it was an empty dropdown (though it’s now populated so that may have been a one off network request issue)
    • If I have scrolled down the page a bit, every time I click an item in the main nav (like Explore) the page scrolls up by about 15 pixels for some reason
    • The Piefed logo isn’t horizontally centered with the actual nav items so the text doesn’t line up correctly

    This is obviously using Bootstrap to handle the UI, and that’s fine. I’m not knocking that necessarily. But it’s a little jank and rough around the edges. These are things I noticed in, like, 30 seconds.

    And this isn’t to say that Lemmy.world is perfect or anything. And I don’t really use the desktop site for Lemmy. I just use Voyager on my pc. But even the Lemmy site feels a little more solid, if that makes sense (even if Lemmy.world is also using Bootstrap).



  • That, maybe. But hear me out:

    A Double Quarter Pounder meal is now roughly $11-12 dollars. They don’t put the prices on the menu half the time, and the people in the drive-through never give you the price. They just say “pull around.”

    Maybe don’t run a shitty business that’s overpriced.

    A couple of weeks ago I was moving to a new house. I woke up early to move a load of things, and on the way was a McDonald’s. I stopped in because it was convenient and got an Egg McMuffin with a hash brown and an OJ. It was $9. $9!

    You can’t charge outrageous prices and then go, “Man, why aren’t people showing up?”








  • I’m fortunate that my small company takes off Friday every other week - so I have a 40 hour week and then a 32 hour week.

    And, honestly, thanks to holidays on Mondays, and purposefully scheduled PTO days off, this week is the first full week I’ve had in a couple of a months.

    Some of that is humble bragging, sure, (I’m definitely lucky), but I do want to echo the sentiment that IT’S BETTER. Everyone knows it’s better. We don’t need massive studies. We just need to try and figure out how to get more people on the shorter work week because life really isn’t about TPS reports at the office.
