Sorry, worded that somewhat confusingly. FairEmail and Thunderbird are both open source apps that I use as clients for my Fastmail account, which probably isn’t open source (I haven’t checked)

I use Fastmail with a custom domain for hosting, and FairEmail as my Android app and Thunderbird as my desktop client. Pretty happy with that setup, the apps don’t do any data mining and are fully open source

Thanks, I really appreciate reading context like this!

Hard to search through all the blogspam about the topic but personal anecdotal experience says yes, fwiw

Thanks (It was bothering me

Edited it in, sorry. Updating the script now to automatically include it. The past few days I’ve just been having to remember to do it manually

We do. The whole thing is stupid, but it was about the bong water containing meth:

A bong found in her car had leftover water in it that contained meth. The bong water is treated as a controlled substance thanks to a gap in a 2023 state law decriminalizing drug paraphernalia.

It seems to me that every time I watch a nature show about lions, I hear something like this: “…and with jaws that can crush the bones of a buffalo, the mother lion gently lifts her little cub and carries it to blah blah blah…”

I had to try to capture something of that phrase in a cartoon

Some background on this comic:

When I was a kid, it seemed to me that my dad was constantly out in the garage working on some mechanical project. I was his gofer on these projects, and I especially remember the pressure of being asked to fetech him a specific-size crescent wrench.

In the corner of his shop was a huge, steel cabinet with assorted drawers, one of which contained about six thousand crescent wrenches. The sizes on these grease-covered tools were sometimes difficult to read, and it was always with an edge of trepidation that I would hand him any wrench. My dad, however, through some mystery of nature, always knew exactly what size he needed for the job at hand. It only took him a nanosecond to say, “Nope, that’s not it.”

I started thinking about those famous “bolts” in the neck of Frankenstein’s monster, and that in turn sparked the memory of those stormy lightning-filled nights when my dad, with his own little Igor, tried to bring life to a dead lawnmower.

The linked site has a bit more about it, but usually you see toggle switches like that with relatively “balanced” options. “On” / “Off” are about the same width when rendered as text. It’s easy then to just make the switch big enough for the bigger option and everything’s good. What happens if you have “On” and “Some really long text option that should probably be shorter”? The image shows what it looks like toggled to “On”, and then goes over two solutions, neither of which are great options:

• Use the smallest size and cut off the larger text. Not really a viable option
• Use the longest size, but when the shorter option is toggled to, you’re left with a bunch of blank space

Related, pagination can still get broken if you try hard enough. Some sites have pagination, but bump up the id of old posts every time there’s a new post, so it’s still useless because the links will change content

There’s actually a proposal for various new HTML elements, including a switch:

It’s a little bit harder than you think, because people will definitely do things like this, and they have to account for that sort of behavior:

It is nice to see that they’re working on it, where “they” means part of the W3C (so not just random nobodies):

The purpose of the Open UI, a W3C Community Group, is to allow web developers to style and extend built-in web UI components and controls, such as <select> dropdowns, checkboxes, radio buttons, and date/color pickers.

To do that, we’ll need to fully specify the component parts, states, and behaviors of the built-in controls, as well as necessary accessibility requirements, and provide test suites to ensure compatibility. We’ll also implement polyfills for our extensible web UI controls.

Today, component frameworks and design systems reinvent common web UI controls to give designers full control over their appearance and behavior. We hope to make it unnecessary to reinvent built-in UI controls, but for those who choose to do so, we expect that these design systems will benefit from Open UI’s specifications and test suites.

Long term, we hope that Open UI will establish a standard process for developing high-quality UI controls suitable for addition to the web platform.

It’s federated, just not to the ActivityPub universe, right? People have been able to join rooms on discuss.online using their matrix.org accounts, which to me counts as federated.

We need a new bill to clarify that that’s entirely legal, and in fact recommended

It seems like you’d say that Matrix isn’t included? It’s not ActivityPub/AT/nostr

In the courts, it’s been referred to as the “feel” and “sound”:

Gaye’s family accused the song’s authors of copying the “feel” and “sound” of “Got to Give It Up”

And then I noticed the ring on his finger

Yeah, edited it into this one, and I’ll include it going forward

Definitely someone else. Schulz died in 2000, and here’s what the fandom page says about the coloring:

Peanuts Begins is the name of a series of Peanuts re-run strips begun in 2015. Syndicator Universal Uclick began publishing the title with a new edition each day starting on January 5, 2015 with the first Peanuts strip. Each day has a new comic with the intention of colorizing and publishing each of the 17,897 strips. This runs alongside the Classic Peanuts series which was begun in 2000 by United Feature Syndicate to print older strips in newspapers.

Only one program can listen on a port at a given time usually. Something’s listening on port 443 (the standard HTTPS port), and when nginx starts up it tries to listen on that port and can’t. You can figure out what’s already listening on that port with commands like lsof or netstat, see here for examples:
