@aeva Pretty much. Stylus was originally developed in response to proprietary platforms that let you change absolutely nothing and use no third-party clients, and in that context "keyed by domain" and "the version is whatever currently runs" are reasonable assumptions... they just do not transfer to self-hosted software very well 🙃

@bellitre @aral People are definitely affected by the environment they grow up in (and *maybe* genetically, though that's much more questionable), but that's never an excuse not to learn and change.

At most, it makes it harder for specific people to learn and change specific things, and that is something to take into account and make room for; but it doesn't remove the responsibility for them to do the best they can, and if someone doesn't do the work of learning and changing at all, that's a _choice_.

So, adapting slower? Sure, understandable. Not adapting at all? Not an option.

Some very important context here is that the "they just are that way and it's hard to change" argument is only ever used to defend privileged people from any hardship. Marginalized people usually don't get that choice; they are *expected* to adapt, or die. That is why I do not accept an "I just can't do that".

@aeva Sort of; it has a "themes other people created" gallery, and some people do keep their custom styles up-to-date against changes. However I think it keys by domain name, so I'm not sure that's actually useful for Mastodon...

I suppose you could search directly in the galleries it searches, and fork them for your own domain? But then you'd also have to pull in updates yourself.

@aeva You can do it without a plugin by editing your userstyles I think, otherwise there's Stylus (not Stylish! That's malware), which has a nicer UI for it.

@steeph Oh I actually didn't see the outcome 😅

(Some very old blank DVDs are still getting regularly burned here for the PS2, and your picture showed no visible disk rot, so that's what I was basing my guess on)

@steeph Yes!

@typhlosion Should standardize "stackable" to mean "on top of another" and "nestable" to mean "storeable inside of another"

@wheeze_NL Yep, will give that a shot. Thanks!

@wheeze_NL Yep I get the same

@wheeze_NL Any idea what might cause it?

@julia@eepy.moe In a previous life, I ran a then-highly-current niche news site that briefly popped into the Alexa "top 100 most popular domains on the web" list (when that still existed...), alongside the big names you've definitely heard of. For a while it was the canonical news source for that topic for pretty much every journalist, and many linked back.

It was a pile of hastily put-together garbage PHP on a $5/month VPS running lighttpd, with 512MB, *maybe* 1GB of RAM? It had some incredibly rudimentary and generic caching. It got a bit slow but never broke. Although the web in general had way less users back then, it absolutely was under high load.

I continue to be baffled by how some people seem to think that you just *need* a whole fucking Kubernetes cluster of dedicated hardware to serve a couple of a hits a second. I promise that you only need a tiny fragment of that hardware if you do literally any optimization at all and don't expect sub-ms response times.

@bellitre @aral Sort of, but not exactly. It's about how "nice" people (that specific term) are usually the ones looking away and doing nothing.

They're the people that are sometimes considered "good", by people with an oversimplified view of "good" and "bad" (which is mostly just about "are they nice to me" and not about "are they doing good to others").

@bellitre @aral

(I did not notice the age of the post, sorry.)

I agree that 'good' and 'bad' are not a property of people themselves, and that it's about the choices they make.

The bit I had a problem with in your comment, was mainly the "people lucky to be more adapted" part, because it makes it sound like there's no responsibility to change, you just have to be lucky to 'fit in' or not. But you *do* have a responsibility towards others to do the best you can, whether or not that's the "normal" thing in a society.

Otherwise, I think we agree.
