Oddly, though, the YouTube video I had open in the screenshot played fine. It didn't studder or anything like that. The page itself felt awful, but the video worked no problem.
(And, incidentally, no, it wasn't just that I was playing a youtube video. I've closed it and this still feels awful.)
And, to be clear, it is just WebPositive that's lagging. Typing this is unbearable, but if I open, say, Pe (the included text editor) up next to this, it feels just fine. So it's something weird about WebPositive in particular. I may go try Otter or NetSurf (other browsers I can easily install) and see how they feel.
Hello from Haiku!
I have no plans to switch over to Haiku as a daily OS. (Not yet, anyways, but maybe one day!) I am running it on physical hardware, though. Specifically, I'm running it on my main laptop on a spare hard drive. WebPositive's a bit laggy, but, otherwise, it feels pretty nice. Maybe one day I will actually be able to run it instead of Arch.
In case you're curious, this is apropos of nothing. It was kinda just a random thought I had.
A list of various sciences by scale
Particle physics (elementary particles)
Nuclear physics (atoms and their constituents)
Chemistry (atoms and molecules)
Quantum physics (atoms/molecules and smaller)
---The line of visibility*---
Microbiology (cells and their constituents)
Biology, Classical physics (everyday stuffs)
Geology, Meteorology (planetary scale processes)
Astrophysics (planets, stars, etc.)
Cosmology (the universe)
*Kinda. There are some ways of "seeing" molecules.
Seriously, fuck all these art bots that just post images with no source. If your bot posts something I like, I, bare minimum, might wanna tell the artist I like it. I probably want to see more from the artist. To not include where I can actually find the art and artist? To have a bot that spams out other people's art without giving anyone a way to find the original? Stop 👏 fucking 👏doing 👏 that 👏
One of my major frustrations here (or, rather, on the federated timeline) is when people/bots don't include a source for art. Obviously, if you're posting your own art, that's fine. Even commisions (though I would like to know who did it). But if you post art that you found without a source or any indication of who did it and where I can find it, just fuck the hell off. This is *especially* true if you write a bot this way. I can ask you where you found something. I can't ask a bot that.
This is an excerpt from a silly, not-great-sounding impossible piece called "Impossilitude", inspired by Ben Levin (feat. Tantacrul)'s piece "EXTREME SPAGHETTI. Friend". If you're interested, you can find it here: https://aurav.neocities.org/Impossilitude.pdf
re: lb
Also, re: uploaded images say "tusky"
1) I'm 95% certain that tusky doesn't add an image description that says tusky, so great fucking job, dipshits; and
2) Your users deserve the harassment at this point
husky just did some shit i guess
so husky just removed the warning system i was talking about yesterday? uploaded images say "tusky" instead now "to prevent harassment of our users"
hmmmm
on the bright side, they actually restored their gab block?????? but uh, they removed spinster from the blocklist and replaced it with *checks notes* a bunch of completely normal instances including octodon and hellsite, which they describe as "worse than gab by any means"
also if you look at the post im replying to, they linked the commit where they did that as "a commit proof for sjw shitheads"
yeaaaaah. don't use husky
Apple/Epic bs
Many have remarked on how this is two giant corporations fighting over their ability to make money, but consider this:
How much you wanna bet that they'll settle out of court in a way that changes almost nothing? I can guarantee you that if Apple thinks they're gonna lose this suit, they'll happily offer Epic the ability to bypass Apple's payment stuff and Epic will eagerly drop the suit, showing just how little this was about "freedoms" or whatever.
re: mh and it is -
I'm feeling better today, though I think I'm still on that borderline between hypomania and mania. Still, it's not as bad as it was yesterday.
