@elilla i hate this on so many levels but your alt text is amazing and thank you and and thank and thank you its really good and i'd have skipped over this w/o it

@skye oh also i dont do android dev because my-flavor-of-rsi means i can't safely type all these long ass repetitive words in java

@skye mrew . hands demand i stop. theres no settings page yet so u gotta put up w my arbitrary values, but u can try. there's key repeat now, and i made the code Nicer because that's Nice and Fulfilling:

`tmp=$(mktemp -d) && pushd $tmp && curl "https"://i.ckie.dev/33vg3rs.xz | tar Jxv && npx web-ext run --firefox-apk org.mozilla.firefox --target=firefox-android --source-dir dist --android-device "$(adb devices | grep -vE '^List of devices attached$|^$' | cut -f1)" && popd && rm -rv "$tmp"`

i think the thing with zoom and so on is neverending because the extension is a part of the webpage and the browser would really like to treat it as such . it'd be better as an android accessibility setting or app overlay thingy where it emulates a page down keypress . not. web browser addon. but it kinda works, lmk what u think 💜

novelty wore off so im looking for some resolution or encouragement

@skye so the extension is coming along nicely, so im looking at the font thing now, and it seems [it *used* to be possible](support.mozilla.org/en-US/ques), but they don't allow it in the normal Firefox release because [<paraphrase>"the user can break the app with it"](github.com/mozilla-mobile/fire). so u need firefox beta play.google.com/store/apps/det . and then you can navigate to `about:config` finally and set `browser.display.use_document_fonts` to 0 and a few other options i havent looked at

@skye hello! i think i am gonna continue now! i have my cat here with me sitting on the desk behind my laptop, and i'm going to find some music!

re: local-only post . hey pixies . fedi meta, vent about serious issue 

@thufie hm. yeah . it is very good at that, and it is a nice good goal,, if only i could have a few accounts melded together into one feed,, hmrgh,,,,, Work,,,,

i wish fedi was already designed to accommodate this but i'm already working on a bazillion diff projects >.< and they all matter to me a lot and there's no room for another new one,,

but it'd be so cool if we had a unified cross-instance feed. and a lot of other things. but yk. yeah . idk . hm,,,

suggestions welcome 👁️

@thufie (i actually tried to reinvent silenced servers just now but then i remembered it exists its not supposed to be condescending) 👁️

@thufie the eye emoji is still hilarious :p

it didn't get on my timeline and it's Very Big News . cuz it's in that thread, that one of my moots did boost,, but that i had no way of maybe-seeing or opting into.., its like,, its like if there was this silenced/limited servers thing,, and octodon could be moved there 🥺 👁️

local-only post . hey pixies . fedi meta, vent about serious issue 

i think it's very bad i didnt see [this post](octodon.social/@cwebber/110778) and its thread until i happened to view one of my follows' on their instance to link them to a friend. like fedi is fucked up if it can't fulfill the news-distro requirement.

its something to think about but im not up for spreading this post beyond this instance because it turns out when you put fedi drama foot lettuce a hoard of people arguing badly might be exactly what you get

like this is lovely. it took like 20 sec to find the right option and use it (tho ive used it b4)

@skye probably! but i still haven't slept since yesterday, catching up on a few days of unrelated discussion to chew on. we do want to get around to it soon tho! very likely next few days but no guarantees :p

@skye mew! worked on it a bit more after sending the first version here. also it moves on the screen when the firefox bar is slid in/out (with the normal scroll) which is no good for muscl mem

for next time,,
