Go, score us some speed, but try not to get burned this time, Fat Freddy…

Food is highly overrated anyway. It’s highly unhealthy, expensive, carbon-wasting and is the main reason for obesity.
- Comment on need help on old CRT tv 1 week ago:
Unlikely. The interference from the electric motor just worked because analog TVs used to recieve a (weak) analog signal via antenna. That doesn’t apply to the HDMI/RF connector. I suspect the CRT might not be able to deal with the HDMI converter’s line frequency. Also., I don’t know if the CRT has a separate composite input - if you go in via the antenna input be sure to set the converter to RF, not to composite output if possible. Composite and RF signal are not the same.

Human created, yes. Sadly often enough not by the same humans who took the money.
- Comment on YSK: Almost every single new logo you see is ai slop 1 week ago:
Could be worse. Imagine the same slop in a more baroque style…
- Comment on YSK: Almost every single new logo you see is ai slop 1 week ago:
TBF, if they had an idea about design, specifically about typo and logos they’d not be clients. Idiots… that’s a different topic, but let’s agree that some types with a strictly technical or -worse- strictly economical background have quite bizarre ideas in the visual field. It really get annoying if they’re perfectly sure they know better than you.

- Comment on No JS, No CSS, No HTML: online "clubs" celebrate plainer websites 1 month ago:
Yes. I think we’re missing each other pinpointing details while meaning the same. Every browser has it’s defaut or “standard” style, nowadays even adapting to the system theme and trying to guess if to use day or night settings etc. Nevertheless it won’t break lines in a reasonable way, won’t deal with footnotes in an acceptable way and either break the layout of pure text pages or the layout of illustrated pages. HTML5 makes these specific things somewhat better as it allows realtively advanced document structure but nevertheless, a few lines of CSS to reflect at least the prinipial character of the document are unlikely to hurt anyone in a worse way than a one-style-fits-all layout for everything will hurt tha vast majority.

That’s not even convincing pedantery. Nobody would assune that a browser’s standard style might be an RFC, IETF- or in any way official standard,

I don’t think. You can’t prove I do! Leave me alone. You’re one of them! I knew it all the time.

Yes , I can read books. I even read one or two of the 1200 around me. Those with the fuckpics and some of the funnier ones, like “Phyänomenologie des Geistes” by Hegel. I wouldn’t have if they had been layouted using browser standards.

Oh, come on. You really want some at least readable output. Things like image borders, consistently positioned images/diagrams, line breaks and page borders. Some whitespace and indentations, too. You just can’t read a couple of pages full of unformatted raw text without massive eye fatigue. I’m all for dumping JS and excessive frameworks, I’d prefer well-formed XHTML over any of that clients-side scripted crap, but totally rejecting CSS is pointless zealotry.
- Comment on No JS, No CSS, No HTML: online "clubs" celebrate plainer websites 2 months ago:
CSS on the other hand is quite essential to separate layout from content. Which is a good thing, so I can’t really think of a reason for a “no-CSS” rule. Specifically if you can use inline styles as well but in a way more messy way.
- Comment on YSK that if you are planning an outdoor event, you can check where the shade and shadows will fall on a given day and time 2 months ago:
As a design engineer you don’t have CAD software that can predict shading? It’s a pretty trivial function, acrtually. Also, you should know the procedure to construct proper shadows, but sure, that takes a lot more time than having them done by CAD.
- Comment on YSK: Condé Nast Parent Company is a Major Owner of Reddit, You Should Avoid their Publications (Wired, Ars Technica, GQ, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Vogue,...etc) as Much as Possible. 2 months ago:
Don’t trust ars one inch as soon as they’re getting political. They’re highly manipulative.
- Comment on YSK: Condé Nast Parent Company is a Major Owner of Reddit, You Should Avoid their Publications (Wired, Ars Technica, GQ, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Vogue,...etc) as Much as Possible. 2 months ago:
Ars technica is full of shit, too, as soon they’re even slightly off the tech trail. Even while on the tech trail they’re massively untrustworthy as soon as their owners’ interests are involved. I’ve kicked them out of my RSS reader long ago. If they really got something exciting I’ll get to know via slashdot, mastodon or feddit. Still I’m suspicious as I at least one time caught them intentionally spreading false information.

The same old song. Fascist voters believe that they will profit from fascism while only “the others” will be hurt. Idiots don’t realize that they are nothing but disposable assets to a fascist regime. That’s what fascism is all about.
- Comment on Speed Dreams 2.4.1 Flatpak package now available 3 months ago:
…and for those preferring reasonable package management: the project’s website has Debian packages and source code. Even installers for legacy operating systems that come as a gimmick with budget PCs can be found.
- Comment on Why does it seem like everyone is so good looking and beautiful nowadays? 3 months ago:
This one massively collided with the average social media victim’s absurdity filter, it seems. On reddit it most likely would have got you banned. People tend to destroy, hate or ban what they don’t understand…

Because he set the general, evil directions for MS. Like keeping users uninformed and locked in, smearing the competition, sabotaging open standards, taking your control over your hardware and data away from users, etc. All happened during evil Bill’s reign.
