In a lot of cases, the distinction doesn’t really matter. If it does in a particular application, I’d probably prefer words to make the nuance clear – but an arrow to cloud + arrow to disk/folder may be appropriate for some of the cases if an icon is required too.

In GIMP 2.10 on my system, there’s a small difference between Save and Save As’s icons. I think they added a pen over the hard disk the arrow is pointing towards – presumably to indicate re-labeling? The difference is just barely visually distinguishable on my screen though. There’s also an Export option (which has no icon, despite it being something I use a fair bit more than many of the other File menu commands) and a “Send by Email…” option with pencil over some paper with lines on it (presumably lines of text that’s too small to be distinct).

xed on my system has an arrow pointing at a line for Save and an arrow with a line plus 3 dots over it for Save As. Only the Save icon is on the toolbar; the other is in the File menu. I’ve actually never noticed that distinction before, and if I weren’t actively looking for save icons in the software I have installed right now, I don’t know if I’d have ever noticed…

LibreOffice still has a (very stylized) floppy disk on the toolbar for Save and no icons whatsoever in the file menu on my system.

KolourPaint uses an arrow pointing into the drawer of a filing cabinet in the toolbar, and a much more squashed version of that in the File menu – along with something additional (a partially filed in text box to indicate relabeling?) above the Save As variant in the File Menu.

Not sure if I have any other software that I still use regularly which has a Save icon… (My browser just uses text without any icons for save from File menu or via right click menu.)

Down arrow pointing to a line, box, folder, or similar. Icons like that are what I’ve seen most commonly in software that has an icon for saving over the last few years.

First time I recall ever having to call 911 for what I thought was an emergency was when I heard breaking glass followed by seeing smoke pouring out of an apartment complex across the street late at night. No alarms were going off, which was weird. I was in a bit of a mild panic when I called them, and blanked hard when they asked me for my phone number. They must have gotten it from caller ID fine though since they were able to call me back later – but I felt really stupid to have blanked on that… By the time the fire truck got there, the smoke was already long gone. In retrospect, I should’ve recorded a clip with my phone – but I wasn’t expecting it to just go away. When I was called back, I went out and explained what I’d saw and pointed out the location. They couldn’t find anything amiss, but after discussion concluded that what I’d probably seen was someone vaping (out of sight) in the (open air) hallway. They weren’t sure what the glass was, but I found shards in the street the next day – I think someone chucked a bottle into the middle of the road.

I’ve had to call 911 a bunch of times since then (“911” shows up on 28 different days in my journal), including for myself twice to get to a hospital. The first time I had to call 911 for myself I couldn’t find the keypad on my smartphone to enter “911” since it had gotten shuffled to somewhere I wasn’t expecting in an update. I found it eventually, and thankfully the issue was just my first panic attack rather than an actual heart attack…

Most of the rest of the times I’ve had to call were about traffic accidents (or sometimes for people who seemed to have lost touch with reality) while living in an apartment in a downtown area. Worst was when someone was not moving, covered in blood and lying in the middle of the road after a car crash. An ambulance came and took him away about as quick as you could hope for in such circumstances, but looking at him lying there… that guy was probably already dead. Police were out there for hours afterwards with tape blocking off the road and photographing the scene and everything.

You can probably find a way to make it work as a setting, but you should try to come up with a plot if you want to tell a story. Who are your characters? What do they want? What’s stopping them from getting what they want, and how do they deal with that? What will make the reader/player care about what happens to your characters in this post-apocalyptic setting?

As another data point for you: it’s not just piefed. I’m seeing no link over here from reddthat (lemmy) either – just an image and body text (i.e. the TL;DR).

What did mbin do with images and links?

Yes, and they’re often used together.

Celery is cold tolerant and can be grown/harvested in winter, IIRC. That might also be a factor in why it’s prevalent in soups?

It’s an aromatic vegetable: https://www.thespruceeats.com/what-are-cooking-aromatics-5223792

Linux Mint. No IDE – I just use xed (a fork of gedit) + gnome-terminal, both of which ship with the distro. Only plugin I use regularly for xed is “Code Comment” which lets you comment/uncomment blocks of code quickly.

My guess was that it was probably due to Hollywood, but some form of mass communication, almost certainly.

I had a roommate from Manchester (UK) for a couple months back in college. I’m American (US). He seemed to have no trouble understanding me, but I usually couldn’t understand what he said without him repeating it multiple times.

Which sort of makes sense since the US has always had a huge agricultural / grain surplus.

米国 is because of ateji, not agriculture. 米 is the second character of 亜米利加 – an old transliteration of “a-me-ri-ka” as kanji. 亜 is the shorthand for Asia (亜細亜); the second character 米 is used as the shorthand for America. 米 is both the country (USA) and the continents – e.g. 北米 and 南米 are sometimes used for North and South America, respectively, while 米軍 is the US military.

Katakana has mostly replaced kanji transliteration of foreign words in modern Japanese, but some uses like the 米 shorthand persist.

I haven’t tried Nostr, so have no opinions on what the experience of actually using it is like, but cryptographic identity seems like it’d be a better way (technically speaking) of doing things than AP; tying everything to domain names has worked rather poorly – as we’ve seen repeatedly every time an instance goes offline…

I ended up on AP after jumping ship from reddit. I was on kbin first (since it was readable w/o JS and I liked the UI), and then later using the mlmym interface for lemmy as kbin because more unstable and eventually went offline.

reddthat is an instance hosted in Australia; so the answer to “how will the ban affect it” is “we already have an age limit in place”. That’s my point.

We discussed it in the community posts back in Dec 2024 when the law passed – February is when the sign up change happened and March was when the announcement went up. The UK’s bullshit may be what prompted the announcement happening then though.

On reddthat, we got this notice in an announcement back in March 2025:

Age Restriction

Effective immediately everyone on Reddthat needs to be 18 years old and futher interaction on the platform confirms you are over the age of 18 and agree with these terms.

If you are under the age of 18 you will need to delete your account under Settings

This has also been outlined in our signup form that has been updated around the start of February.

Some people do: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_mammals_as_food

the game’s own anti-tampering features will remain active

…what does that mean exactly? Is there an online component to this game or something?

It’s also worth noting that in the case of games in Japanese, it’s not so easy for developers to find alternatives. While games using English can rely on system UI fonts, cheap commercial fonts or open-source options, the sheer number of characters used in Japanese means high-quality fonts are extremely difficult and expensive to make, so few affordable alternatives are available.

There’s already a decent selection of high quality, freely available Japanese fonts here: https://fonts.google.com/?lang=ja_Jpan

Dumbing of Age uses PNGs with transparent backgrounds for most strips.

I can’t think of anyone who publishes comics as SVG, but I wouldn’t be surprised if someone out there does it…

There’s a lot of indie stuff on there, yeah. We’ve got a (slow) community over at [email protected] if you want to see some of the things people on the Fediverse recommend from Bandcamp or share your own finds.
