I wish I had more time to work on Typica 2.0. Mostly because I want to be using Typica 2.0 in production.

mastodon, hacker news 

looking at the latest hn thread about mastodon and seeing at least a half-dozen people who are essentially saying: "i went on mastodon and the people on there were behaving in a kind and respectful way, and it was too stressful to make myself behave in a kind and respectful way too, so i left"

weirds me out so much when i read stuff like this. like gives me a massive huge "unknowability of the other" feeling

I think it's finished! Changed a couple of things from the sketch, which made it take longer. Happy with the end result though :) I sketch dragons all the time. Here's a painted one!

Auto-scrolling is the web equivalent of Lucy with a football.

I wish web browsers made it easier to selectively disable scripting specific DOM features. There's a lot of garbage that only gets used obnoxiously and turning them into NOPs wouldn't break legitimate functionality.

When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,

"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes

I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."

When I went for today's cat visit, she jumped down from the chair she was on when I left yesterday. I don't think she was there the whole time I was gone.

I seem to be in an espresso sort of mood today. I've had something like 6 this morning.

My sister is also doing a daily cat visit. Comparing notes, the cat behaves better for me.

BTW, if anybody wants to contribute to the ongoing development of Typica (free software for coffee roasting companies), it's possible to do that any time at typica.us/payment.html

Planning to set up an instance so I tossed a little money at this. I apparently still remember enough from my high school French classes to read the confirmation email.
