Hi, I'm Danko, 35, from Riga, 🇱🇻 #Latvia

Mostly #webdev, mostly #TypeScript, sometimes #Rust. Curly braces, semicolons, tabs. #Linux noob since 2005.

Cishet white dude, atheist, left-ish. ADHD + MDD.

I like loud electronic music, twin-stick shooters and cats.

The avatar is me rudely pointing at the viewer (since 2006). The header image is the This Is Fine dog saying "Sorry, something went wrong."

If I should've boosted your picture that I liked, it's quite likely that you should've put alt text on it.

These flags would be so useful in daily life when you're having one of those days and want to let people know.

'I am dragging my anchor.' 'I require a tug.' 'Stop carrying out your intentions.'

And my personal favourite 🚩: 'I am on fire; keep clear of me.'

A book of old fashioned naval flags:

The texts per flag are labeled - 

KEEP WILL CLEAR LOW SPEED

I AM CARRYING DANGEROUS GOODS

I AM MANOEUVRING WITH DIFFICULTY

I AM DISABLED; COMMUNICATE WITH ME

I HAVE A PILOT ON BOARD

I AM DIRECTING MY COURSE TO PORT

I AM ON FIRE: KEEP CLEAR OF ME

I HAVE SOMETHING TO COMMUNICATE

MY VESSEL IS STOPPED

NO (NEGATIVE)

MAN OVERBOARD

ALL PERSONS TO REPORT ON BOARD

MY ENGINES ARE GOING FULL SPEED ASTERN

KEEP CLEAR OF ME

YOU ARE RUNNING INTO DANGER

I REQUIRE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE

STOP CARRYING OUT YOUR INTENTIONS

@VEXED Д looks a bit weird to me, i'd say the bottom needs to be wider – or the top narrower.

If you are doing genuinely good things, and making the world better, I don't give a fuck why you're doing it. You want recognition and attention, so what. You're just doing it, because your friends are idgaf, you feel pressured from other people, who cares. We can spend so much time tearing apart motives and guess what, it doesn't matter, and most of the people screaming, "They're just doing it for attention!", aren't doing jack shit. We don't need to wait to do good things for the "right reasons", we can just do them. And we can most definitely shut up, about why other people are.

Boldness is all.

The post above, rendered in the Servo's built-in minimal browser with the "experimental features" enabled (denoted by a radiation hazard sign, for some reason). Almost  all the of the text is bold and italic, except the part of the post in italics, which is only italic. Some icons are rendered at a wrong size/offset. Otherwise, the layout is mostly okay.

Arguably one of the worst things from childhood: a load of terrible pop songs you heard enough times on local radio or sung by other people so they're imprinted in your memories forever and pop in your brain in the most unsuitable moments.

Our system may not be fail-safe but at least you can certainly depend on it being fail-hilarious!

one thing that i really dislike about Unix is the zealous adherence to semi-accidental design elements that ends up interfering with the utility of the underlying useful principle

for example:

  • early Unix could not run too complex a program due to hardware restrictions, so programs were composed using text streams
  • useful underlying principle: designing your applications for composition
  • zealous interpretation: your OS should have a toolkit of single-purpose programs communicating over text streams
  • design we could have had, but never will: applications that communicate using structured data, simplifying life for both programmers and end users

Holy shit, I can actually post to Mastodon from Servo now!

Granted, it's still an adventure and it doesn't look good, but it's certainly looking good.

@ami_angelwings idk as long as you don't make it hereditary due to being leader of some secret tribe bullshit it's prolly fine?

Like can they be a Native American superhero without any mysticism. Or African without a super secret secluded nation that magically "skipped" all the shit Europe did to them. Or hell, even Eastern European without a personal vendetta against some American superhero.

Nova is sitting in a cupboard compartment next to 2 coffee pots. Below her, 2 pots are visible. She's looking somewhere below the camera and generally cosplaying a saucepan that would normally go in there.
