On “I put pixels in their place” hiatus. Recovering front-end web developer. You might find me in the garden or staring at a bird.

okay, there's something weird going on on the Fediverse

I first noticed this on my pdx.social account, where people I knew I was following, show up in my following list (and sometimes mutuals) but when I view their account it doesn't reflect either of those things

anyone else see this off-and-on?

I’m still unable to get a link preview from a some.pics URL 🤷‍♀️

It’s weird how this used to be my most interactive account, and it feels very dead lately, so I’ve been spending time elsewhere.

Considering adding a small line to my Webrings page:

"Do you run a webring? Please invite me!" with contact deets.

Does that sound too desperate? 😁

Awoken by a weird noise, went outside to investigate. Couldn’t figure out what it was, though I triangulated the origin, gave up, came back inside and it stopped.

Currently dealing with a runaround to cancel a service and I can't believe the hell I'm in. I then completed the "do not sell my info" business on their website, for which they provide two choices: do not sell and do not share FFS 🙄 after which I get an email that I have to verify my address and then I get a message saying I WILL BE CONTACTED?!!??

We've seriously entered the madness state of capitalism now. No fucks are given anymore. The consumer can't fight this without a small army.

📝 An organized head. (https://weblog.anniegreens.lol/2023/12/an-organized-head)

I chose some new web fonts, re-organized my head to get a jumpstart on a major CSS refactor, and went down a rabbit hole.

🤨 Still trying to finish the Manual of Me.

How it's going:

I'm so fed up with the MLS representation on my AppleTV watch now/landing/home I'm about to cancel AppleTV+. Seriously, it's harassment at this point. If this was FOXNews being splashed over SIX rows I would have canceled a long time ago. It is literally not anything I'll ever watch or subscribe to and it takes up 1/5th of the real estate on that page and also 1/5 of the main navigation in the TV app itself.

I've never done a holiday themed name change for social media. I'm not actually a big holiday celebrator. But I have thought about making just my display name Rotten Apple Annie just this year.

🫐 Yellow and blue make green. And apparently blue and green make…brown?

Power trio and frozen blueberry smoothie.

What’s the deal with so many reading glasses being red? Is this so we hope we don’t lose them?

📝 What I've learned about CSS color-scheme and friends. (https://weblog.anniegreens.lol/2024/04/what-ive-learned-about-css-color-scheme-and-system-color)

CSS color-scheme tells the browser what scheme a website supports, ensuring proper contrast with elements and controls between light and dark color schemes, and a whole lot more.

What Github alternative are people using now? I've used many others for work projects, but never for personal, but I'd like to migrate out of Github at some point.

I mean, you could say I have a deep dislike of the bird place and the space karen, but my first deep hate was Zuck/FB.

I don’t quite understand the desire for Mastodon share links, which I think were created specifically to track interactions, and that is not really in-line with the Fediverse ethos. So, unless you’re tracking people sharing links from your website, what exactly does a share link give you that copying and pasting doesn’t? I’m not even sure it is less “clicks” to complete a post, and would probably require it to open a new session with the intended account authenticated if you have more than one.

I'm finding it more and more untenable to be unable to filter/mute things on the micro.blog timeline. This is definitely a weakness and as we have a contentious and all-consuming election coming up, over the next year I may have to limit my time there as I just cannot put myself in front of that kind of what-I-expect exposure.

Am I the only one who starts penning a reply but then the reply is too much braining so you abort the reply?
