@nixCraft This is why for years my .css files have blocked that ability, and why I hate being on a chromebook at the moment, no simple way to manipulate how chrome is presented like there was with firefox.

Your regular reminder not to trust anything that a LLM tells you.

Google has updated Bard to a new “greatly improved” model, and it's still talking utter bullshit half the time when I ask it for facts about myself.

Not much of a display last night but I finally got the gear out for some time lapse.

A time lapse of a starry night. The camera pans to the right and follows the stars as they sweep across the sky. A small amount of aurora appear twice in the clip.

Today is my one year Fediversary! 🎉

A year ago, I decided to give Mastodon a try and I've never looked back. I found fellow Twitter refugees and discovered amazing OG Fediverse accounts. Many of the folks I discovered in my local feed are still my favorite follows. Y'all are stuck with me now. ❤️

@nixCraft We got a pixel 6a and it comes with a usb-a to usb-c dongle for data transfer and on a hunch I plugged THAT into the usb speakers we use with the laptop and... it works pretty well, though it is absurd.

About YouTube and ad-blockers:

YouTube is owned by Alphabet, aka Google's umbrella corporation. Google in turn was devoured by DoubleClick, the largest advertising company to come out of the 1990s web.

When you use Google, you are feeding the attention monster that is the advertising industry.

We should aim to criminalize behavioural advertising and break up the Google monopoly, not tolerate their shit and work around it by using adblockers.

maxthyme,
@maxthyme@mastodon.social avatar

@cstross Also spread awareness that targeted ads DO NOT WORK, literally nobody except the middleman trying to cream rent off the top of the system benefits from them. Advertisers lose, we all hate them, and frankly screw googbook completely.

If your product is good, I WILL find it and blaze a trail to your door, but if you try to cram ads about it in front of me I will actively seek out your competitors to spite you.

...So has anyone ever done a game that's basically just, like, a really fantastical traveling simulator? Like, imagine cave story, except you have no overarching plot, and a lot more details and ability to explore the different places. Would probably need a lot of procedural generation, of course, hard to get the kind of detail I'd be looking for otherwise. :/

Tailwind CSS vs. Semantic CSS, https://nuejs.org/blog/tailwind-vs-semantic-css/.

An article about why Tailwind creates bloated, heavy documents.

> The semantic version is 8× smaller, renders faster, and is easier to modify and extend.

Please, remember that producing smaller documents is good for everyone: battery of the user’s device, server CPU, network bandwidth, electricity used to transfer and handle (parse, render…) all the data. It’s our responsibility as developers to save data and be smart, not lazy.

maxthyme,
@maxthyme@mastodon.social avatar

@hywan Plus, replacing all the stuff on the left with the lines on the right is so damn satisfying.

I used to write scripts for dfhack in dwarf fortress, it was just lua, but I had a basic enough idea of how to poke at the bits, find hooks, and produce neat effects.

When I discovered ways to condense dozens of lines into a handul with clever selections or better targeted hooks it always resulted in a big thwap of dopamine seeing the same/better effects from cleaner more elegant code.

skaly, to random

Untrue things people assume on me when I say my country has a right to defend my family and friends after nearly dying in a horrific massacre:
5) That I know my culture and history less than people who never even visited
6) That I don't know what the word occupation means while they think my country is still occupying Gaza and often don't even know where the West Bank is
7) That I don't know what the word genocide means (while it is being used in horrifically false ways)

@HeavenlyPossum @MiriShuli @RD4Anarchy @skaly @aral I've got ancestors from one side of the ocean who when they weren't busy killing people over here (everyone who invaded was either carrying diseases, actively murdering, or making use of the murdering done by others) were instead getting busy with my ancestors from this side of the ocean.

Now it looks like the No. 3 Republican in the House, Tom Emmer, is the new nominee for Speaker. This comes after McCarthy was deposed, and Scalise and Jordan both failed to get to 217 votes. Emmer asked for a roll call vote among his conference, and he looks like he is still more than 20 votes short. And look, Democrats would work with Emmer if he would agree to bring the budget and Ukrainian funding to the floor for a vote. But so far, he doesn’t want to dance with any Democrats. A bipartisan solution remains elusive, so the Speaker’s chair remains empty.

    What COVID19 has taught us about the Zombie Apocalypse is that there will be zombie denialists, zombie virus infection parties, zombie conspiracy theorists, and politicians ruthlessly exploiting lies about zombies to kill off demographics who won't vote for them—and when a vaccine against Z-virus is invented there will be zombie anti-vaxxers (some of them funded by the Kremlin for shits and giggles).

    Former Donald attorney has pleaded in the election subversion case, one day before her trial was set to start.

    Prosecutors are recommending a sentence of six years probation. Powell will also be required to testify at future trials and write an apology letter to the citizens of Georgia.
