@zwol On the one hand, that's fair. On the other, it's a pain in the ass, because this is a feature that allows sites to *remove javascript* in favor of native HTML features, which IMO should be a top priority for browser makers.

@polychrome Yep, already removed from the front page by moderators.

Business Insider: Millennials are treating pets like 'their firstborn child,' and it's reportedly causing problems for some of the best-known pet food brands.
Comment: "Younger people are treating their pets like living, breathing fucking animals, and it's reportedly causing problems for some of the best-known pet food brands that have been selling garbage fillers that barely qualify as nutrition." There, fixed your shitty headline.

@polychrome I do like the phrase "yolo-driven development".

Note that while this bug has been getting a lot of attention from the public, including being linked to by a widely-read news article, no one from Mozilla has done more than assign a category to it. I love Firefox, but sometimes...

Band name of the day: The Unconfirmed Reports

Woke up at 5 this morning, feeling awake, refreshed, and ready for the day, but decided I had better sleep more. Surprisingly, I then still woke up at 5:45, before my alarm. Got to have 15 minutes to myself before anyone else woke up, which is good, rare, and pure.

Good morning, fediverse. Good morning.

Looking forward to the availability of #Glimpse in Flatpak, and later to it replacing the GNU Image Manipulation Program in distro repositories.

My first post on #gemini for a while. Gives the statuses of my several related projects. Gemini exclusive: not available on web or gopher (yet).

I'm still really loving using Input Sans, a proportional font, with #Emacs. I keep butting my head against the places it doesn't work well (aligning continuation lines with spaces, org-mode tables, company-mode popups), but on the whole it's so much more pleasant to have this font. And I think the main thing about it is that it feels more humane because it's proportional, but it doesn't feel too out of place because it's not *too* proportional.
