would anyone on mastodon v4 want to help me test out user CSS to un-vertical the horrible sidebar? I have something that looks okay on the display of other people’s v4 instances, but I’m not logged in

why yes I do live in perennial sadness at the lack of a Locked Tomb board game. while i love the fan-creation spirit, none of these count https://itch.io/c/1546288/locked-tomb-fan-rpgs I want thanergy and thalergy tokens and I want House-specific mechanics no one I play with will ever remember, thanks

anybody played either of these board games? i will immediately cop to being interested For The Aesthetic https://archongames.net/

for anyone trying to direct holiday gift $ to PNW-local stuff, https://oddmall.co/creepsmas2/ just wrapped up so I’m hoping vendors will be getting any surplus inventory up on their online stores soon

i wonder how much of the brain-rinsing feeling toki pona students report is replicated by writing in something like Basic English

if this turns into “you need to buy XYZ out-of-print book from 1985” that is fine so long as it’s halfway approachable for a non-academic

does anyone know of an english-language resource on tironian notes? not just medieval scribal abbreviations :boost_requested:

i’m really happy y’all over at merveilles are trying out lemmy for merv.news let a thousand link-aggregators bloom

I played around a lot with http://clanbadge.com/ when I was a kid and now I want that but… this https://books.google.com/books?id=mnJBAQAAMAAJ&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&pg=PA667&ci=151%2C160%2C683%2C509#v=onepage&q&f=false

making webpage-style content for “X things people are wrong about” and adding something to it instead of Posting Into The Rage Feeds is a nice/calming internet pattern I’d recommend. examples: https://maya.land/words/peeves/ https://maya.land/mastodon/#things-that-for-better-and-worse-are-not-universals-on-mastodon

I think a number of new people followed me because I used to use Twitter. I use Mastodon somewhat differently; it is much closer to my own website. Instead of a choice selection of techie RTs, you might, for instance, see a few days of belle-epoque-posting for no discernible cause. Please do not be alarmed: this is intended and the system is working as designed.

this would make a good profile picture (https://www.ebay.com/itm/195321044810)

so a lot of this mini-project i have somehow embarked on has to do with figuring out what it is that they’re saying the appropriate size is given that they have such strong opinions and it’s complicated by letters being written on paper folded like this.. but not written in the order you’d think?

If I could get away with writing in the register of the 19th century y’all wouldn’t know what had hit you

“But the past is gone, and dealing with the present it becomes a duty to present a review of things to be and not those that have been, and consider the living and not the recondite.” this is about STATIONERY

Ha Ha It Sure Would Suck If The Gendered Discrimination “Of The Past” Informed The “Neutral” Technological Lens We Bring To The Present

why was the file size of the upload huge if the details end up this blobby

https://sakofchit.github.io/system.css/ i want to like it but I question whether you can put something like this together without working from pixely assets & integer multipliers, you know? vector geneva and chicago just look Wrong to me. i should put my css where my mouth is

(#5vaid6q) @eaplmx@twtxt.net Yes, exactly. The site I used has a mobile web app that lets you take a picture with your phone, measures your pupil distance for scale, and then automatically overlays the frames you’re looking at onto your picture.

Had my first eye exam in forever last night and ordered some new glasses now that I have an updated prescription. I went with frames that are pretty similar to what I already use, but image mockup technology has improved a lot since the last time I ordered so I amused my kids with pictures of myself with wild frames first.

(#owkdycq) @prologic@twtxt.net Hmm, interesting. My original interpretation was that the (#hash) was hidden by yarn.social’s UI, but then when I saw it turn up in the UI for some posts I started to get confused because my incorrect expectation was that a (#hash) would either always be exposed or always hidden and a mix of the two never occurred to me.

As far as GO knowledge I have some casual programming experience and have looked at the source a little, but I wasn’t able to identify the relevant parts of the code base. I am interested in understanding further, although I’m not sure how much I can contribute.

it shouldn’t be so cold in november! my poor little fall plantings :( i’m rooting for you, yarrow #gardening

(#upbddla) @prologic@twtxt.net Perhaps Mastodon isn’t popular enough in Brazil.

(#as2ddnq) How did it taste?

(#xnryd6q) Thanks for all the answers. I have taken a look at them and I will consider them all.

(#hl4muca) @mckinley@twtxt.net Thanks a lot! I have anticipated this blogpost, and you did not let me down!

(#owkdycq) @prologic@twtxt.net Oh well, I can work around it manually for the time being now that I know what’s up.

(#c5wd4la) @prologic@twtxt.net It’s the dystopian spy thriller story of the beginnings of the Rebellion against the Empire five years before Rogue One.

(#owkdycq) @prologic@twtxt.net To further clarify, this missing post id tag behavior is happening within a conversation view rather than out in the main timeline- maybe it’s a bug?

(#x43iebq) @prologic@twtxt.net I’m a bit confused about how the two different reply icon buttons behave. The speech bubble with a plus doesn’t supply a post id tag to the edit field at all, while the double speech (conversation?) icon supplies the id tag of the post you’re replying to rather than the original root. Shouldn’t both options supply some kind of id tag to the edit field?

Andor is such a good show. That’s it. That’s the twt.

jeno jando’s beethoven sonatas are my go to. there was another artist’s recordings i liked back in high school also, but there’s nothing like being able to throw Old Reliable Jando on the speakers

is it worth it to file an insurance claim for the stuff that went bad over the power outage? would it blunt the emotional impact of having to compost my nicely packed and labeled frozen meals

Time for a little yarn post reply functionality testing.

if you are kind of programmery, haven’t messed with linear optimization before, and are curious, i have a commented sample at https://maya.land/trader-joes-reduced-delta-reduced-guilt-mac-and-cheese/ that is a somewhat ludicrous application

yesterday i hyperfocused for Quite a While on proving something might be a problem, using linear optimization, and today my brain feels sort of refreshed, exercised. whatever the pertinent characteristic is of that work, i need to do more like it.

i have found perhaps the most waffling disclaimer of all time https://sophiafoundation.org/sophia-foundation-disclaimer/
