if you want to make Firefox's scrollbars bigger 

visit about:config, and you can change these options:

widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size.override to change the width (and you can also set widget.non-native-theme.gtk.scrollbar.thumb-size to try to make it look nicer :neofox_woozy:)

set layout.css.scrollbar-width-thin.disabled to true to prevent websites from making the scrollbar thinner

widget.gtk.overlay-scrollbars.enabled to disable overlayed scrollbars, but this one can already be set in settings

@eramdam god... the last time I flew, I had a miserable ride home, and that was an Alaska flight too. delays, inconveniences, the plane didn't even pull up to the terminal, we had to walk out on to the tarmac and stand in line to go up the scaffold. πŸ˜–β€‹

@junebug this is making me seriously ponder what a "disnet" is, and i can only figure it's a sci-fi concept where systems are connected to each other by explicitly *not* being connected to each other. like a world wide deniability web

today's digital preservation project:

some might recognize the name Advanced Gravis from its incredible line of UltraSound sound cards, or maybe its classic joysticks and gamepads.

fewer know that this was a canadian company from burnaby, bc. its logo changed a lot over the years until the company's demise. unfortunately, wiki/logopedia/etc all seem to believe that its ugliest logo was its only logo.

so today i replicated the only Advanced Gravis logo that ever mattered: the one that graced my early-90s analog joystick and gamepad.

no one has ever properly researched the typeface for Advanced Gravis' logo. after some font ID magic, it turns out to be URW Type Foundry's Antique Olive Standard Compact Italic.

the A is swapped for an inverted V, which gives the logo that perfect sense of proportion and hi-tech slickness

designed in Affinity Designer. enjoy.

I feel like posting something else on here and can't remember what I have and have not posted before.

So here is a GIF loop of Tuvok spinning.

@gyro I'd converted a couple of my OCs into yinglet form the other day; between the two, I think Kath (right) would make a good one, while Bastion (left) I mostly did because it does not suit him At All

Let it be known for the record, that for every movie that Everybody Has Seen, there is roughly a 95% chance that I have not actually seen it at all and only know what people are talking about through cultural osmosis.

TIL there was Reflection X for Windows 3.1. This means there were at least 3 X servers for Windows 3.x - XAppeal, Reflection and Xonnet. This isn't NT, because there wasn't Windows NT in Japanese in 1993.
