@TheFonz@lemmy.worldtoAsklemmy@lemmy.ml•Who do you consider a Great Author of the last 50 years or so (first well-known work after 1970)? I'd like to get a feel for who's who in modern literature. Any language/culture. Fiction only.

@TheFonz@lemmy.worldtoAsklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is anyone else getting downvotes for benign disagreements here?

Thanks. I could be wrong, but I think on certain apps (like connect) with enough downvotes comments become hidden. I think my issue is that there isn’t enough of a user base to even out the benign downvotes, and as a consequence any pushback on anyithing gets buried instasntly

At least on Reddit there was some leveling of downvotes built into the algorithm. This site is making it seem like any slight disagreement leads to downvotes thus encouraging more echo chambers. Maybe it's the communities I'm commenting on?

@TheFonz@lemmy.worldtoAsklemmy@lemmy.ml•Every generation has some product/ingredient that they didn’t know was dangerous at the time: tobacco, lead, asbestos, etc. What is that item for this generation?

What an insane comment. Something that pertains to 0.1 of .01% of the population is the equivalent of the magnitude of tobacco on the world, lead, or asbestos

For sure. Darktable is very powerful. I don’t understand why FOSS struggles with UX/UI so much. We know what works and what doesn’t. Can we have a baseline that’s at least somewhat usable? Blender does a great job, but I don’t know if that counts as FOSS

I gave a shot. The UX was downright hostile.
