side touchpad swipe to go back/forwards in history seemed cool for 0.1 seconds but it triggers super easily when you're just trying to do actual horizontal scroll

and there's a setting in preferences for enabling it, that does nothing

webkit/epiphany is also *bizarrely* terrible at handling livereloading of CSS, or processing any changes at all, like resizing the browser window

Show thread

also Epiphany is *horrible* to use. maybe it's better on a blessed GNOME setup? can't imagine it'd be worse

webkit layouting is clown shit though.. implement flex boxes properly i beg you

Show thread

at least i've been able to reproduce all the iOS issues people report in Epiphany (on Linux, also webkit based)

uni 

fucking uni not having their info/shit together just going "oopsie" but punishing students hard when it happens to them is so infuriating

i know just enough kdenlive and blender to know I *can* actually make the shitpost I came up with and then spend way too much time on it

followed some and some more productivity coach types, yuck

i guess that's still kind of a lot, because that's only counting accounts the server actually knew, before suspending them or their instance. would have to make a script that fetches instance user counts to see how many users the blocklist truly covers

meta, mastodon.la, bigotry, instance block rec 

LB (colorid.es/@Aster/109848839304): So I've recently learned someone from the mastodon.la staff has made a huge, absurd thread around a month ago weaponizing social issues such as widespread hunger and fossil fuel use against people who "instead" talk about sexual education, transmisia and queermisia (mastodon.la/@SeverianX/1096488).

It contains garbage such as "it seems like the new strategy is directly the criminalization of heterosexual and 'cis' desire" and "according to the new narrative, those who don't accept that a man dressed as a woman 'is really a woman' or those who insist you can't be attracted to someone of the same sex as yours even if they dress as if they were of the opposite sex are immoral".

Some of their allies are trying to spin this into "some Spanish instances are blocking and brigading against a Latin American instance". I don't think this is a good excuse to avoid blocking mastodon.la.

SeverianX also has many alt accounts on other instances.

huh, only 41975 suspended accounts in the database

gotta say death grips mixed with tf2 music sounds kinda wild
