wait why do I keep spelling "me" as "my"
oh actually
I think my is what I consider proper English orthography for literally every my my
I almost wrote gross with a ß because that's just the proper way*
*actually that is my bias because I'm not from Switzerland where gross would also be the proper way**
**I'm sorry to throw around groß opinions about ~proper German orthography~. that is really nothing anybody should do, I gueß now you know that side of my
gross? things I do when nervous
…we all have that small thingie that never heals for long because we keep scratching it open, right?
(I don't even mean in a metaphorical sense. A few years ago a cat got its claw stuck somewhere in my arm, and it made a tiny thingie that would have gone away really quick… except it's become my go-to "scratch or chew when nervous" area. it's now a few millimetres in diameter of dry skin / scar tissue that is slightly elevated and very convenient for that purpose.)
@ebel I love most things about them! One thing that I can't really use them for though is studying or reading something that requires skipping around instead of reading from cover to cover. I need physical bookmarks in a physical block of paper for that.
Another thing that is annoying is dealing with DRM.
Oh and when the ebook costs as much as the print or even more is also not fun. Ebooks are great, but the practices around them often not so much ^^;
Okay more #AgentsOfSHIELD (I know all the episodes I've watched so far, but I only remembered a tiny bit of the plot so rewatching seems like the right thing to do)
Btw, in The Masked City (The Invisible Library book 2) there is a bit that is set in the world Kai is from, the cyberpunk one. I appreciate that. I hope there will be more of that. *purrs electronically*

Of course, all of that is pretty silly compared to what Twitter looks like.
The tweet itself halfway down the page, buried in a mess of random, unused junk.

The about page isn't bad, but there's no headings or anything (other than the instance title, which is a h2 instead of h1 for some reason)
For the most part, it isn't terrible.

(Yes, *we* know what it means, because we can see the retweet icon and star icon; a screen reader doesn't have that advantage.)

Frustratingly, the column headings aren't columns, and there's no easy way to jump to them. That mess of links at the top doesn't actually navigate to the relevant part of the page, it just tries to load it.

Anyway, one fairly simple fix to this is a "screen reader" CSS class for "invisible" text. As an added bonus, it also makes copy-pasting keep some context.
First image: Added text in screen-reader class
Second image: Added CSS rules to clip the span to a 1x1 pixel
Third image: results of copy-pasting the text

Removing them from a single post's page reveals there's no real meaning behind most of the data. What does "0 - 1" mean?

Removing all styles from Mastodon reveals that the emoji button is absolutely gigantic. Yay SVGs.

Coucou les mastonautes !
J'ai besoin de votre aide! Je viens de télécharger une super appli pour les podcast, qui ne demande qu'à être remplie!
Quels sont donc vos podcasts préférés? Lesquels voulez-vous me faire découvrir ?
Tous les sujets sont susceptibles de m'intéresser tant que c'est en français et pas trop technique.
Merci de votre aide (le repouet en est déjà une 😉)

Late for #LibreMonday again, but:
The #Tox project!
They aim to provide a secure peer-to-peer (for non techies, that means your stuff does not go through someone else's server) real time text, voice and video chat. They also have several clients.
Pictured: qtox UI, the client I use. The project and its clients are still experimental/alpha/beta software, so there are bugs, but it's already a useful piece of tech.
