Instead of my daughter's name, I'll get this sentence from the HTML spec tattooed on my forearm:

“Authors are strongly encouraged to view the div element as an element of last resort, for when no other element is suitable. Use of more appropriate elements instead of the div element leads to better accessibility for readers and easier maintainability for authors.”

PSA copypasted from tumblr, pls boost :

FEMA is doing an emergency alert test on all TVs, radios, and cell phones on October 4, 2023, at approximately 2:20pm ET.

If you live in the US and you have a phone you need to keep secret for any reason, make sure that it is turned off at this time.

Yes, I'm doing this months in advance, and yes, my blog has very little reach, but I figure better to post about it more than less.

Please reblog and add better tags than mine, I'm bad at tags.

Name 5 things about #Linux you love the most. (Boost please)

For me:

1. Customizability
2. I get to choose when to update
3. Privacy
4. The community
5. Window Managers.

@thelinuxcast Well here goes then:

1. It's much more lightweight, and i can use the FULL performance of my PC for what I want it to be used for.
2. It's pretty darn solid. The only time I've had issues is because (a) of proprietary software/hardware/drivers or (b) i messed something up.
3. I can choose to use it how I want (not how some corpo decides i should)
4. I can rest assured the only things running on my system are doing good things
5. I can fuck around with it

I’ve been thinking of implementing sixel image viewing in nvim. The main purpose was going to be LaTeX previews but i just got the idea of having custom :emojis: in my text files

i switched to firefox nightly so i could get jpeg xl support

i just realised gunzip is g unzip and not gun zip

You don't have to be a paladin to cast divine smite

programmers are always posting like "worked on tracking down an issue with a Flurble deployment for twelve hours. it turned out the problem wasn't in Flurble at all - it was in the Gumbies install. It turns out if you install Gumbies 3.0 over Gumbies 2.7 and don't do a cache flush on all the client spiders they'll get stuck in the crystal maze." then you look up Gumbies and the site is one of those scroll scroll scroll types with one sentence per page, like
"GUMBIES is a lean, expressive sharding sandcube for testing and deploying large scale Woodchips playgrounds.

GUMBIES automates and streamlines away watersliding phases, meaning your team can get right to the chipping.

See why Microsoft, OpenAI and Bloingo have embraced GUMBIES in their Woodchips workflows."

one last* assignment and i’m free !!

Commander Riker,

There has been a security breach in our computer system. Your search history is being broadcast to the entire crew.

I’ve also been using foot instead of kitty as a terminal, it took me some fiddling to get the font to look right (inconsolata needed a -1 on letter spacing to match kitty) but it’s pretty good. I sorta miss ctrl shift click for links and the unicode picker (so good!), but i’ll manage ig.
Also footclient starts faster than kitty -1!
