Just noticed the the text colour I chose is the same as that of his teeth. :D

Maybe nominate it for #Monsterdon and show it to dozens/hundreds of people at once. (Live cast on https://miru.miyaku.media/ )

Looking here, it doesn’t seem to have been shown yet.

I like it rather than love it, but wow! 16%!

Lost River (2015)

I went into it with zero knowledge or expectation and was held by it from beginning to end (even when I knew it was blatantly emulating David Lynch etc, I didn’t care, I was gripped). Only to look it up online afterwards and find out that critics and viewers kind of hate it.

Saw that whole special a few year ago. Love him.

Ricky Gervais.

Liked him ~ The Office, Extras, podcast period, even some of his Golden Globes hosting, but now I find his “edginess” and mugging grating.

Used computers at school (BBC B), uni and work (beige PCs); and had video game consoles (Intellivision, NES, Atari Jaguar, 3DO, Philips CD-i, etc) but didn’t my own first home computer until relatively late, bought in 2000.

A Dell Inspiron 7500 “desktop-replacement” laptop, with:

• 15-inch 1400x1050 screen (shit hot back then, still higher resolution than many laptops today),
• 6GB HDD
• Intel Mobile Pentium CPU (can’t remember exact specs)
• 128MB RAM (a significantly expensive extra back then)
• ATI Rage Mobility M graphics
• Windows 98 SE (I tried out BeOS R5 PE on it, so much more stable but the only available graphics driver could only give 800x640)

And I’ve been cleaning out my mum’s shoddily built shed and just found it in this sorry state!

The hinge was always super stiff, and after 4-5 years snapped. I kept it alive for a while by rigging up some brackets to hold the screen. Eventually I put it away, and after a few moves it ended up stored at my mum’s. Now wIth a fair bit of opossum crap on and around it, and rainwater from the leaky shed roof.

I wonder if there are still any episodes of The Sopranos downloaded from Dalnet IRC on it.

“Today I .ml-ed”

I think there was just a post on Lemmy (maybe !SelfHosted) saying that Plex have just changed their terms to allow them to sell users’ data to third parties.

IIRC, Firedragon is Floorp with the best of Librewolf.

I was using it until a couple of months ago, when an update not only wiped all my open pages but also all the workspaces I’d created.

Over the last two and half years (since I quit Windows and Vivaldi and went FLOSS only), bouncing around between Firefox, Floorp, Zen, Firedragon and Falkon as my principal browser, while also checking out Pale Moon, Servo, Dillo, Netsurf, Agregore, Kristall. Also “special purpose browsers” like Station, Ferdium and FreeTube. (Is FreeTube a browser? I think it’s an Electron app, which is basically a Blink/Chromium browser, used to browse just one website in this case.)

Currently on my laptop:

• Fully-loaded Zen (multiple extensions and a couple of Zen mods) as my main browser
• Fairly minimal Firefox (just uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger) for streaming music (e.g Spotify without ads)
• Ferdium for email and IM
• FreeTube for YouTube (LibRedirect extension in Zen sends YT links to FreeTube automatically)
• Ungoogled Chromium as a backup in case some site just won’t work with a non-Blink browser. Haven’t used it in months.

Conky users?

No, it counts as date night.

Stop using AI to replace humans who can do the job!

Thanks for the in-depth info.

I’m kind of amazed they released a system that shows replies but not necessarily the OP! But presumably there’s all kinds of technical reasons over my head.

I’ve installed Subsitoot and am browsing regular Mastodon (not phanpy) with it… and I can’t tell yet if it’s making a difference. I’m still thrown by the bass-ackwards layout.

OK, I think I get what I have to do now to see the OP of seemingly orphaned replies, and also to see all replies to an OP, below the OP.

1. Click on a reply (just any random area of the reply text, not on a specific button, took me a while to work that out)
2. Scroll up (again, took me a few goes to work that out, as it often places that reply at the top of the screen)
3. Click on the top post (again, random area, not a specific button)

That finally shows me both the OP, at top, and all replies, below.

So, a bit of a palaver but doable. Thanks! Hopefully, future versions of Mastodon will make getting posts and displaying them properly grouped in the main timeline easier.

Just to check, I kept going and it was 50 questions (!) before one applied to the characters I SHOT J R.

Thanks!

I saw it uses a flowchart approach (e.g. serifs or no serifs), which seems like a good alternative to the OCR approach but also had me thinking I might have to go through a lot of questions (some which I might not know how to answer) before getting a result.

But as soon as I did step 1 (serifs), the “Popular Matches” sidebar showed Cooper Black second from top! :)

I also assumed as much, just wondering if someone ever made a font based on it.
