@ckipp@chronica.xyz - you’re absolutely right! using the official client now, really misunderstood timestamps yet again.
Those of us who survive the next few hundred years will not be called gen-Xers, millenials, or zoomers, we will be called antediluvians and nephilim and be powerful beyond measure
@mox@tilde.town I can show you my setup for volume, brightness and screenshots when I am back home. I only use the suspend key in gdm3 where it works out of the box. I have a shortcut for calling ‘gdmflexiserver’ when I’m leaving the computer as my wife can’t log in to her account otherwise.
This then does happen, many times, but the simulators (or rather, the watchers they put in place when they created the universe, meant to be scientists and not soldiers) wipe out species that use certain ‘noisy’ technologies, and this is why the universe is so quiet.
@mox@tilde.town I am also using #i3 for some month and really like it. Also I switched to TUI/CLI programs for some tasks: https://blog.mdosch.de/2019/06/06/tui-programme/ (#German). It’s a lot more efficient when you don’t have to change between keyboard and mouse/touchpad so often.
i just started using i3 (i3-gaps) on my laptop and holy shit this is so wonderful… i had no idea tiling WMs were so amazing but i’m never going back
/meta @ckipp@chronica.xyz About images, sure, I understand it’s useless for CLI-only use. But if we added our own format, maybe something like Markdown
would work?/meta Great job on the pagination! Now I’m thinking about forking this and trying to see if I can use it as a personal nanoblog/wiki…
@nonlinear@nonlinear.radiofreqs.space I always wonder why people still use #IRC nowadays. A chat system which can not be used mobile is weird today.
@nonlinear@nonlinear.radiofreqs.space there is an #xmpp muc: xmpp:twtxt@chat.mdosch.de?join but unfortunately not much used.
@ Thanks! Sure, it could be useful, it won’t be obvious for everyone to look at their browser console to understand the issue.
not sure if anyone still uses twtxt. but I am around here somewhere :P

Looking for a reason to use Firefox more when developing sites? on macOS it’s the browser that smashes into the least horizontal space. Good if you like having a browser window running all the time. Doubly good if you like running it in Split View.

450k apps using Swift…what’s that as a percentage?
…probably not a homeless guy using his Mac?
Only 85% on iOS 12? That’s not as high as it used to be, is it?
“Beautiflu”. OK, happens to even the best of us.
@adiabetic@www.frogorbits.com I am strongly refusing to use Apple products but for different reasons. But I wouldn’t consider anything except a computer or a console appropriate for gaming. Pads and phones might be for casual games but not for gaming.
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net you’re really using w3m as your main browser?
If you want to remain unheard, use a social network almost no one has heard of
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net You can also send your location to xmpp:wttr@mdosch.de using #xmpp
Make your website better in bed. Use @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { /* … */ }.
Still using Firefox? Try a rusty nail in your eye instead.

I want to like exa, but its default color choices are hot garbage. Don’t these people who use purple ever try using a terminal with a black background?
This, except unironically: https://makefrontendshitagain.party/ ; interfaces ought to be rich & individual representations of the underlying models, unless people are required/forced to use them, in which case all formatting should be able to be stripped automatically.
