@prologic@twtxt.net This looks really nice! I love the view. For a brief second, the rock in the left bottom corner of the first photo reminded me of a croc tail. These are some massive cliffs, I get the impression that walking down there feels cool during the heat. Yeah, it’s winter over there, but it cooled me off by just looking at it. :-) Oh no, somebody lost their hat.

A few more…

As promised, here’s some photos of love you!! camping trip to Canarcon George in QLD, Australia.

Heck yeah, I’ve been a firefly taxi again! \o/ One landed on my hiking boot and rode along a few meters. It then took off on its own without me having to help it. I saw easily a thousand glowing individuals tonight, bloody cool. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I first wondered how the lists could be ever improved, but then b.png shows the better approach with the inset boxes on the left. No surprises there. Very clearly communicated.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Ah! I see there is now some competition going on between the Tux avatars. ;-)

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz That’s an interesting concept I never heard of before. Though, as a German, my data protection kicks in. ;-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org

These are lists in your Inkscape example, right?

The font stuff? Yeah, that’s a scrollable list where you can select the current font.

Someone did a thing:

I’ve been silently wondering all the time if this was possible, but never investigated: Keep doing X11 but use Wayland as a backend.

This uses XWayland’s “rootful” mode, which basically just gives you a normal Wayland window with all the X11 stuff happening inside of it:

In other words, put such a window in fullscreen and you (more or less) have good old X11 running in a Wayland window.

(For me, personally, this won’t be the way forward. But it’s a very interesting project.)

we should bring back XFN that is the cutest shit in the world i want to link to my friends and have the internet know they are my friends through the markup!!!!!!!!!!!

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club so real lol

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org i’ve been playing with h-card stuff lately! got one marked up and validated with indiewebifyme and it all checks out :D you can see it on my about page at the bottom

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Which one(s) are you looking right now?

Woops, sorry if my Pod was offline for a few days, I hadn’t checked and needed to renew the domain xP

guys microformats are so fun

@prologic@twtxt.net hello!!!

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh cool, completely disconnected is the best! Looking forward to the photos. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de We did indeed! 😅 I’ll share photos soon™ 🔜 Was completely “off-grid”, no connectivity to anything anywhere 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, the crash killed it.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yes, flat UIs are broken! I’m used to that by now, but it’s still more work to recognize than when there are borders around buttons, etc.

These are lists in your Inkscape example, right? (I’m too lazy to start Inkscape myself and look at it. And writing this took longer than just seeing for myself, but here we are. I met up with one of my best schoolmate this morning and it’s fucking hot already. So I blame the heat.) Nested tabs are probably an own death sin in itself. I know, I know, the upper ones can be made into windows and dragged around, but still.

@prologic@twtxt.net Heyho, welcome back. 👋 Did you guys have a nice trip? 😊

I’m back! 👋

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Probably. :-) I just saw that the account on Yarn is also gone. Maybe it didn’t survive the crash earlier this year.

Just realized: One of the reasons why I don’t like “flat UIs” is that they look broken to me. Like the program has a bug, missing pixmaps or whatever.

Take this for example:

https://movq.de/v/8822afccf0/a.png

I’m talking about this area specifically:

https://movq.de/v/8822afccf0/a%2Dhigh.png

One UI element ends and the other one begins – no “transition” between them.

The style of old UIs like these two is deeply ingrained into my brain:

https://movq.de/v/8822afccf0/b.png
https://movq.de/v/8822afccf0/c.png

When all these little elements (borders, handles, even just simple lines, …) are no longer present, then the program looks buggy and broken to me. And I’m not sure if I’ll ever be able to un-learn that.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, it’s been a while. Didn’t feel this long, though. Not at all, I’m quite surprised. :-O

But like with every quality content, there is no publishing schedule. Eventually, @mckinley@mckinley.cc will write another article for all of us. :-)

Happy for you! Mamdani looks like he will be good for NYC.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org it’s so bad!!!

@thecanine@twtxt.net awww so cute and silly!!!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de OMG SLEEPY LITTLE GUY!!!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de it’s sooo bad here on the east coast of the US omg 102F/38C heat here!!

Heute im Support-Kanal: Schrödingers Laptop

… der Laptop fährt weder runter noch hoch …

After drawing the bigger canine stickers, I also want to change my profile picture for summer, to something more fluffy, shaded and a bit smug looking.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz NEVER MIND WE ARE SO BACK MAMDANI WON

went to vote. got told i can’t vote because i’m not registered. handed a form to fill out that i later learn is not in english.

go home and find out the problem is widespread among young voters like me.

fuck this country.

I was this 🤏 close to buying a couple of baby-cactus plants but, I couldn’t … I still have to save up for that future screen printing project. 🥲

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m feeling SO dumb right now 😅 I used to think !! was a sudo argument and never used it out of that context! Thanks for the $(!!) tip 🤘

@prologic@twtxt.net Enjoy your road trip! Have fun!! 🤘

@bender@twtxt.net Now I AM curious! What rabbit-hole? what am I missing here? 😆

Just discovered how easy it is to recall my last arg in shell and my brain went 🤯 How come I’ve never learned about this before!? I wonder how many other QOL shortcuts I’m missing on 🥲

Felt the need to make this stupid reference - nobody will get, most likely. Feel free to guess (the file name and todays date, are both a hint), any other notes and opinions appreciated too, idk if I ever drew a standing one, from the front, before.

Achievement Unlocked: I have finally gotten to sit my ass down and watch Back to the future from start to the end.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz uh, i use yandex mail which uses HTML by default

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz join the SearxNG cult! the grass is way greener over here 😁

@movq@www.uninformativ.de neither do I 😆 and I’m going full Albert Camus mode. Embracing the Absurdism of life just to cope, it’s the only choice I have left.

Unless your Terms of use update email looks and reads the same as the one I got yesterday from mastodon.social, I don’t wanna know about it, nor do I agree to it.

FFS! Can’t I just get results, accurate no BS results? No erroneous/misleading AI-Slop of a summary I’ve never asked for ? I get it, there is plenty of people who LOooove (if not worship) that shit, Good for them! But at least make it opt-in or add in some kind of “Do Not Slop” browser option (as if the “Do Not Track” one made a difference, but I digress). Shit’s only going down-hill from here, I might as well as just spin up my own Searx instance and call it a day.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de > That guy over there in the corner…

I’m literally sitting in a corner chuckles. I rarely get any emails nowadays. But if I do and it is not plain-text, then my Mutt gets to bark at it and I, just… won’t read it. 🤷🏽‍♂️

🥁 Brrrrrrrrr… Bud’em… Tsssss…
