  • How do you people make the screenshots of popups in Firefox? Every time I press Print Screen they just keep fading away.

  • Firefish

  • I think it is a good save, for the time being. Just maintain what works, and if people are unhappy with this, they can always try another.

  • Firefish

  • By no means does it excuse the lack of correct scrolling in web application. Just saying that native applications is not all there is to it.

  • Sending a tinsy-winsy appreciation to how you handle this dialog. Smooth. 🎩

  • Disabled presence can be an advantage to some privacy-conscious users, so a case for matrix.org can be made for them - especially if they don't chat much anyway.

  • Otherwise depend on what is called a "non-puppeting bridge", self-hosted bot that reposts messages on behalf of itself. Problem is, reactions and other multi-agent interactions won't be a subject for bridging. If you absolutely need those, you have to host a Matrix server (like optimized, but unstable, Conduit or the hungry Synapse) or partner up with another server owner to activate your appservice...

  • A lot. Of. Downtimes...

    If you want to make a set of private rooms that you want to be available at all times, I certainly don't recommend matrix.org.

  • Wherever the app's code is on. I usually go around finding the link in the store page or through the search engine. Most of the time, they end up on GitHub and GitLab, sometimes on Codeberg or other instance.

    Paranoid section ahead: Don't blindly trust the issues list, closed or open, because there are still ways to permanently delete those, hence giving bad actor a way to hide evidence of the on-going security problem.

  • I look at the latest release date. At leisure time, I would also go and check repository and issue tracker to see whether something serious is being ignored. If it's crucial for business, I would spare time investigating the source code itself.

    I would not necessarily say that many apps uploaded to F-Droid and other repositories are unsafe, because I don't have all that energy to audit anything I use. What helps me to stay on the safe side is reading into things - enclosed descriptions and names may look like a small factor to some, once they tread the sources, but it saves me both the time and trouble. Sloppily written stuff usually implies a sloppy code, a lax attention to details on the developer's side.

    Geddit doesn't show image preview for the link

    Geddit seems to have trouble showing OpenGraph images on new posts. These can be YouTube thumbnails, previews of the blog posts, etc. Many other instances seem to pick preview images on the fly.

    What it means for me if that if I share the post itself from Geddit, it will be only plain text until the user clicks. It's a minor inconvenience, but sometimes it just hits hard on the promo department, you know.

    Checking if the Mastodon post of @stux's stickers will show up image here or not... I'm positive it does not show og:image, even though site clearly has it.

    Song of Farca - Vers10n {In}comp

    This is the core theme that plays in the videogame Song of Farca. "Vers10n {In}comp" always starts first whenever you load the game - which is only appropriate, as it's the most upbeat one of the bunch, and you get it right after the neutral "Main Theme" in the menu.

    Others tracks I love in Song of Farca are:

    🎢 Entire OST playlist

  • Having this music on the background makes me feel unchained! Even though the game would still have limits imposed on me, it's always rewarding to get so far.

  • Looks pretty thriving to me!

    Team Fortress 2 - Main Theme - Big Band Ringtone

    40 sec ringtone of the "Main Theme" remix for TF2 fan!

  • Casino Calavera ❀

  • I really appreciate that this game has movement from keyboard. Saved me a bunch of clicking and the experience was nice!

    Fun characters and worldbuilding. Doing these quests felt very true to the plot, everything looks internalized and, in some places, eye-opening. Little foreshadowing here and there: Domino's lax attitude, Olivia's final poem, blooming in the morgue, etc.

    I even got hands on some early storyboard, where there were plans to do final locations more grand and the myrriad of possibilities that could come out of it, but I still like how it turned out despite some rethinking and cutting. For me, the ending section was fittingly grim.

  • I think it's a fun idea to explore.

    For example, would you take a shortcut and make items appear because you're fishing them in the pond (which makes pond a source of "outworldly" items), or rather come up with something more creative? The logistics of it can tell the story better than 1000 words on a wall made to push the narrative. Of course, at the same time, you don't want to make this a main focus to the player, unless it's an objective.

    Big Band Ringtone of TF2 Main Theme

  • Wait, so, it's supposed to be time-limited?

  • Tfw you catch 'em doing bad with CSS.

  • I've recently run out of space. Browser didn't have a second thought about deleting all websites' data.

  • Uhm, no, I don't believe we need a yet another Reddit cross-poster infringing on everyone else's content.

    Visualizing headline for The New Oil

    I suppose, it's not too complex and the headline of The New Oil website is delivered through this vector image in a good capacity. I really like Inkscape for all my minimalistic artwork. To understand the context, refer to issue and Penpot prototype.

    Making

    Start

    The headline is "The Beginner's Guide to Data Privacy & Cybersecurity". At first, I just tried a bare oil drop representing the logo of TNO. This drop can be easily done with Path tool and mirrored through Path Effects or manually. I placed duotone gradients on both fill and stroke in such a fashion that gradients don't mix together (almost perpendicular directions).
