Request: could the 500 page become non-blinking?
https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/6060
Animated gifs on most public-facing Mastodon pages are auto-paused for accessibility, with a couple of exceptions - one of which is the error page gif, as can be seen here: https://mastodon.social/oops
This is an #accessibility / #a11y issue.
If this is a problem for you too and you have a Github account, go add your 👍. If you don't have a Github account, give it a boost. ✨
So I signed up for #pillowfort, and the default color scheme is unusable.
It's dark blue (#18729c, which has a luminosity component of .35 if I read that correctly) on black!
I can't read anything without turning my screen brightness up, which makes actually light colored stuff hurt my eyes 😦

"Haven't you read that book before?"
"No."
"I'm sure you have."
"No, that was a different me."
"Why, what's changed?"
"I read this book."

Thanks to my library having Switch games, I just played my first round of Tetris in way too long 😀
I don't know how to write a #userscript for #greasemonkey!
Tbf, I don't know much #javascript, either...
It runs fine in the browser console, but if I run it from greasemonkey it says the elements of the page I want to interact with are null...
I'd love to release this, but I need #help!

I love mupdf, because of how simple it is and how fast it loads pdfs, but it doesn't support having 2 pages open side by side.
Is there any pdf viewer that is:
* available on linux
* loads really fast
* doesn't have huge chunks of gui (preferrably none)
* and supports 2 pages side by side?
(boosts ok)

"Then... he pays /you/ thirty-five dollars a day to tell him to work faster!"
You know what they should make a high budget TV show of?
#BattleTech
Some days (and especially some nights!) I am one of these "watches a tv season per day" people.
Oops.
This is going to take a little longer than I expected.
A proof of concept is apparently not a finished script 🤔
Because I was having trouble with the privacy options, I made a little userscript to make them easier to tell when you're composing a toot!
I'll have to figure out how to distribute this tomorrow, for now, have a gif!

the biggest stumbling block for tech dorks with regard to ethics is they seem to not understand that doing nothing when you have the power to do something is not ethically neutral
(Yes, I'm a sucker for the *Ode an die Freude*.)
cc0.oer-musik.de/Musik <- Bunch of digitized public domain recordings!
(At least in Germany 😆 )
Huh, TIL that recordings that were released before 1963 are in the Public Domain in Germany!
But the music itself is still under copyright if the composer has not been dead for at least 70 years... so many recordings of the giants of classical music are completely free, but the giants of jazz still hold on to their copyrights...
Wonder what that means for using the original recordings, though...

Help! We need art!
We are planning something, and we would need someone to do some simple illustrations involving humans. By "simple", I mean outlining the body, eyes and mouth. No clothes, no hair, and as gender neutral as possible.
If you are able to do that, please send a couple of samples in DM. Otherwise, boosting this toot or mentioning your artsy friends helps a lot.
I want to install a program, but it's not available in any official repos or a trusted source, and I'm a bit worried about installing any random stuff from github and I definitly can't audit 20k lines of C++ code...
Guess I'll have to write my own! 🤷
Anybody in #Europe want to buy my #GPDWin?
Like new, I barely ever used it.
It's a 5" handheld that runs Windows 10, the full x86 version!
Has a built-in keyboard and Xbox 360 style controller, in the form factor of a 3DS XL.
It's actually really cool if you're into PC #videogames on the go.
Which, it turns out, I'm not! 😦
xrandr to the rescue!
