@druid All it needs is a horrible goose.

@aral Yak hair everywhere.

@Richr @Richard_Littler Yeah, maybe it's my modern lens of "contrast is for emphasis" that's making it seem weird.

@neil @wallabag If they want to "invest in what moves the internet forward" I can see some dead weight they could cut.

They're paying their CEO more than 18x the highest paid head of state in the world.

@adactio "Fold" is catcher than "100vh".

@hkrn Microsoft are the IBM of the new Holocaust.

@PiiiepsBrummm @Richard_Littler I think it's spelled "lech".

(I fumbled that one, Pratchett did it better).

@rem Just a hot take. I'm no expert, might be worth getting verification from a screen reader user.

@rem Figcaption is usually a contextual label rather than a literal description of the image. Seems to me they should serve slightly different purposes.

@Richard_Littler @Richr you're a Knower of Things in this field, any idea?

2025-05-22

@Walrus Aha. My faith in the habits of computer fondlers is restored.

@Richard_Littler Fascinating, I wonder why. There doesn't seem to be rhyme nor reason to the switches between roman, italic and blackletter.

Only thing I can think is maybe they were sharing a communal case, working on different jobs at once and just grabbed whatever the other fella wasn't using at the time?

@james @Richard_Littler Whoever created it the switch to blackletter for one line is a little odd.

2025-05-22

@Tattooed_Mummy I've always poked at my phone with my left for some reason, despite being right handed. Oh, and I make phone calls with my right hand/ear. Never stopped to consider how odd that is.

2025-05-22

@Walrus But why not make it needlessly complicated and reduce gardening to yet more computer fondling?

If you're feeling depressed, try going for a run.

You'll soon discover that your physical health is far, far worse than your mental health.

@jorgecandeias @chrastecky @halfbyte It would, but that's a much less chancy proposition. The first Euro mover would have taken on the big risk of proving the feasibility, the second would have much less trouble securing funding. VCs are fine with long odds, it's their bread and butter. It's impossibility they're allergic to.

@jorgecandeias @chrastecky @halfbyte That massive competitive advantage is exactly why I said it needs someone to prove it's possible.
