spicy? take, GNOME/GTK (2)
I don't really know how people expect me to take a desktop environment seriously that defaults to a narrow font and doesn't let you change it without some absurd hackery
Scrollbars are becoming a problem

I'm joining the war on scrollbars, on the side of the scrollbars
Moderation related pet-peeve
Whenever some moderator goes "some person shouldn't be doing this to staff member/moderator" I die a little.
There aren't a lot of things that shouldn't be done to member of moderation, that can be done to anyone else in a community. Implying moderation/staff is some protected class deserving more protection from rule breaking behavior is simply disgusting. If someone is harassing or behaving rude - it doesn't matter if its done to a community member or a moderator. You moderate it just the same.
Separating creatures into staff/non staff creates double standards and it's awful. Bleh.
Haiku domain PSA
The domain of the Haiku Project (haiku-os.org) domain has just expired, due to autorenewal failure. Do not visit links from the main site or any associated subdomains until the domain has been renewed.
I made this PSA in Haiku Community Discord earlier today too, but I've been seeing people in the Fediverse asking about this so it's posted here too.
In the meantime, there is still the official Haiku IRC/Matrix channel on OFTC (#haiku:oftc.net) and the various unofficial Haiku communities:

layoffs
And like, I'm not saying that "big names getting laid off" is some kind of perfect indicator of anything, it's just that they seemed to be the last ones still standing after the past few waves of firings
Friendly reminder, if you stopped masking due to social pressure, anxiety, or for any other reason, and you wanna mask up again, you absolutely can! Lots of folks never stopped masking and some folks are starting again because of the cold and flu season on top of national COVID spikes.

#poll for folks who make art regularly as a hobby: how long do you usually spend working on a given art project?
@th give someone one clock and they will always know the time, give someone two clocks and they will never know the time
Amazing. So looks like (in all Blink browsers on Windows since relatively recently) reading a user-selected File with a FileReader, and then putting the same file in FormData and sending it, crashes the tab.
I'll just work around this, can't be arsed to make a demo and figure out where to file the bug.
But yeah "file upload crashes browser" certainly aligns with the overall state of software these days.
Edit: I have not verified there are no additional circumstances involved. Just reports from multiple people about this particular internal tool consistently crashing in the last week or so. And yes, uploading a new Blob with the just-read contents fixes it.
Edit 2: fwiw I've tried to reproduce it outside of the environment and failed, so probably depends on some other weird shit I do, of which there's lots.
I did this drawing of myself the other day. I like how it turned out, even if it's not what I was aiming for at the beginning
I absolutely hate how a few incidents that could never possibly happen again with modern tech and standards gave people enough of a scare that to this day everyone chooses fossil fuel power plants that kill our lungs and our planet over nuclear power. Like we've already had the technology for safe, clean power for decades and we've been choosing to willingly sprint towards our own extinction instead largely because of 1 really bad situation caused by insane negligence and a handful of incidents where nothing bad actually happened but things got spooky for a few days.

My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
