Sleepless One
Insomniac code gorilla. I help maintain lemmy-ui and, to a lesser extent, Lemmy’s backend.
If I don’t end up a deadweight or a counterrevolutionary, that’ll be good enough for me.
What I suspect is happening here is that it’s using a flexbox instead of a grid. I’m guessing it has a flex direction of row (horizontal left to right), uses flex wrap, and has each video thumbnail have a flex basis to keep them around the same size. It probably makes it easier to look good enough at most screen sizes without needing to have a bunch of media queries change the number of columns at different screen sizes, at the cost of things not always being perfectly aligned. Probably a good tradeoff compared to the alternative tbh.
I’ve finally gotten around to reading this article. It both cleared some things up and made me more confused. Like…
He touched his shirt, pointed at my water bottle — “In this capitalist system, everything, including relations between people, is inhuman. Only when we socialize the means of production, are human relations possible. Only then, can human reason guide society.”
It was then that I understood his materialist outlook as similar to that of an eschatologist (end-times fundamentalist).
Man’s salvation does not derive from man. It is imparted to man by an external force, (for him, a materialist reality apprehensible by sense-certainty).
This view depends upon at least two axioms.
- The universe is entropic (ruled by Satan).
- Man’s nature is inherently bad, but he can be saved through the struggle against Satan’s evil world (through the sacrificial violence of class conflict)
These axioms allow for what Malthusianism will not permit, viz. that man’s increases in productivity be acknowledged & be considered good.
It allows for the existence of Reason—as an eternally distant condition, which nevertheless may come at any time (the Rapture).

I imagine the original reason for removing it is somewhat mitigated now that mods can view votes directly in the UI instead of needing to muck around in the database.

You learn something neg every day. I take it this is one among many instances of a man taking all the credit for something a woman played a much bigger part in creating/discovering?
