firefox pixel indicators messing with me right now... is there a known issue about maybe inaccuracy in how they show these lines? I know it could also be because I just woke up, I can't handle math right now

@ayo the a is inline element?

cheeaun,
@cheeaun@mastodon.social avatar

@ayo oh ok, I just inspected.

Screen recording of me inspecting various elements in the browser devtools Inspector, adding few styles to see the dimensions, fixing some misalignment and figuring out what's the intention behind the code.

@cheeaun@mastodon.social avatar

@ayo no problem. To be honest, your CSS code ain't uh… pretty 😂 .card { margin-left: -40px } is quite hacky lol

@cheeaun @snarfed.org@snarfed.org thoughts on this comment re oauth application vacuuming?

@thisismissem @snarfed.org@snarfed.org sorry what kind of feedback are you expecting? Tokens expiring and clients renewing them?

cheeaun,
@cheeaun@mastodon.social avatar

@thisismissem @snarfed.org@snarfed.org Oh so is this about migrating from confidential to short-lived tokens? Or deciding when to migrate? Potentially have to wait for clients or warn clients to implement token renewal within a year?

@cheeaun There's something with the current hashtag feed that crashes phanpy dev.

https://fosstodon.org/tags/xfce

A video demonstrating that when clicking on the hastag , the whole interface seems to break.

@tripplehelix got it, fixing now. Thanks!

@hboon there's a Wikipedia entry for this 🫣 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reply_guy

@hboon I guess "keyboard warrior" is a more familiar term here? 😂

@cheeaun @phanpy

Just a suggestion: have the fantastic "catch up" tool honor user options to bypass CW and sensitive images. Currently an Android app user has to individually open toots with a content warning, even if they have set their options to display all posts regardless of CW.

cheeaun,
@cheeaun@mastodon.social avatar

@tedmn question, are the CW posts auto-expanded now when you open the posts?

cheeaun,
@cheeaun@mastodon.social avatar

@tedmn got it. Missed this feature when building Catch-up, will look into it. Thanks for reporting!

👀 So, this is what they've been working on: https://www.threads.net/@mosseri/post/C7CXVYIpI0G

Article: https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/16/threads-testing-pinned-columns-on-the-web-like-tweetdeck/

Observations, judging from screenshots:

  • It allows pinning accounts 🤔
  • It introduces gray background to fill the white space for this layout instead of the single-column version 🤷‍♂️
  • Corner radius got way more rounded, including the images/videos, for some reason…
  • Make sense for them to build it as there won't be any 3rd-party clients.

@box464 they already have 'For you', so… don't think it'll be next 🤔 Lists probably make more sense 🤔

what's the laziest dark mode implementation? is there a 3-liner code change? 😄 asking for a friend (not me)

@ayo I'm aware of these two:

1.5TB from my GoPro videos. Looks like I can't move out of GoPro subscription anymore. S$70 per year for unlimited storage (only for videos and photos come from GoPro) compared to S$168 per year for iCloud 2TB plan (Which I'm already using and won't be enough) S$140 per year for Google One 2TB plan 🤔

@null it's a trap 🫣

👀 Not bad. Though honestly expected more from users 😤

@stefan I did have some thoughts on that, though the intention would be to encourage writing proper alternate text as I found that some people treat it like captions — not describing the image but adding non-contextual text instead.

cheeaun,
@cheeaun@mastodon.social avatar

@hallenbeck have you tried other OCR solutions besides Google Lens? Mastodon Web actually has it (tesseract.js) but it's quite clunky and only supports English. It's possible to add more languages but file sizes are really huge to be downloaded.

Also on Mastodon, there are video and audio attachments too, so will need a separate "OCR"-equivalents 🫠

@aulia should be a bug on Ivory — they stripped out the link if there's a preview for the link. As for the preview card link going to the wrong URL, that's Mastodon's bug where it strips the characters after '#' in the URL — seems to be fixed in latest Mastodon code, if you see my post on mastodon.social instance instead.

cheeaun,
@cheeaun@mastodon.social avatar

@aulia hmm wait seems that the preview card link on your instance is correct (with hash). Interesting 🤔

cheeaun,
@cheeaun@mastodon.social avatar

@aulia nice. I guess you're expecting the link preview card to be more contextual?

cheeaun,
@cheeaun@mastodon.social avatar

@aulia also, got to charge your phone 🙈

cheeaun,
@cheeaun@mastodon.social avatar

@aulia it's a longstanding bug and perhaps unfixable due to Phanpy being a static web app. The previews need to be dynamically generated.
