@ShadowJonathan@tech.lgbt yeah, pretty similar to the single-eye emoji

@jasmin right, I kind of need that space for other form fields / info though. It's also not really an issue if it's (accidentally) submitted

@ShadowJonathan@tech.lgbt hmm also not great I think, and I know some people that don't really like the way eye (emoji) look

(there is already a `title` hover with info on what it means, and screenreader-accessible fallback text)

@thufie lmao, you can technically layer fork-awesome icons but that would be very cursed

What icon do I use for "This domain is already in your list of suspended instances", I'm at a loss

options: forkaweso.me/Fork-Awesome/icon

I think it should mostly be an informative hint, because it won't prevent you from including it in your import (you might even want to, to change the metadata to that from the import)

this is probably my most popular toot by now. if so many people agree, why do techbros keep writing shitty scrapers under the guise of "people totally want this", hmm?

@zkat you'll have a way more limited pool to get search results from but that's kind of the point. If there's truly such a need for a group of people to be searchable, they can opt-in and find each-other.

I also don't really have a problem with instance-local search when scoped to what the user could've already have seen (Searchtodon had mostly the right idea there). The big problem with Searchtodon is that it holds a centralized index across all it's users.

Instances already have this data, it's in the conceptual security model, it's the addition of an extra (centralized) party that worries me here

@scanlime Yesterday I got about halfway through writing a response to a techbro like that but then I realized it's just a pointless waste of energy, they're always acting in bad-faith..

Also looked at their profile and literally the only interactions this server had received from them were them were similar techbro-sealioning so, good riddance

oh so we're tech bros, just because we all share the exact same lack of empathy, certainty of our own intellectual superiority, panglossian view of technological intrusion into private life, and we all keep doing the exact same thing over and over that everybody here hates?

@rbairwell @aendra @doot As someone with ADHD, I have no right to feed data of others to some third party service, so I can make things convenient for myself.

I don't think anyone argues against having a private, self-hosted search or search on your own instance :) It would even be quite possible to buid it into a web client.

@rysiek disappearing scrollbars is a browser thing. CSS *can* fully hide a scrollbar but that's not common.

In Firefox you can use `about:config`and set `layout.testing.overlay-scrollbars.always-visible` to true

received my bulk pack of smd storage magazines, they're really nice. cool to see the design improvements compared to the ones I 3dprinted myself years ago
