fun issue of the day: my web browser keeps jumping to the top of the page with no user input at random intervals. sometimes every couple minutes, sometimes multiple times per second. i feel like I'm fighting for control.

I've been investigating a weird unit conversion when exporting a SVG from an SWF, and one of my attempts to fix it accidentally went in the wrong direction.

A vector graphic image where the line thickness is 400x times what it should be, making every character look very round and featureless.

what the fuck do you MEAN you can evolve eevee into jolteon in gen 1 by getting into a trainer battle, levelling eevee up, switching to growlithe, and finishing the battle with growlithe, because growlithe's pokemon index is the same as thunder stone's item index. WHAT. WHATTT

can we agree the light or dark mode on a website is also a matter of accessibility? i'm especially peeved by website that implement a toggle switch that includes a "follow system" option, but default to fixed light or dark anyway.

I accidentally glitched out an animation I was working on and created a perfect example of what the passage of time feels like to someone with ADHD

Someone needs to start collecting cassette copies of In Got We Trust, Inc and see what people taped over the B Side.

I've said this for years but I've not got the means to do so

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 11d

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue freezes in terror as a vaguely foxlike abstract figure dashes towards him.
Entity: Cold! Cuddles!
Blue: Aaah! A ghoul!

The entity, which is slowly starting to turn into Green, wraps himself around Blue, who struggles in vain.
Ghoulish Green: Cold! Cold! Cold! Cold!
Blue: Aaaah! You are icy!!!

Accepting his confinement, Blue settles down, sulking as Green slowly and gradually returns to his usual bearing and colour.
Blue: Are you normal now?
Green: Almost.

“And when we support real artists, we get more cool shit!” The queer corvid collector shouts with wings up still.

They caw, “You can comment, like, share, repost, save, favorite, and if you can…”

You don't want to know how long I had to spend on this because of my pixel perfectionism

working behind multiple layers of quotes and escapes is quite confusing.

new server is finally deployed, and it is pretty cool seeing in Grafana that there was a spike of 404s, then dive into the logs to see it was an IP probing for vulnerabilities, and then checking my firewall and confirming that CrowdSec automatically detected and banned the IP. 😎

📣🐦‍⬛ real artists making cool shit! 🎨🌈

🧵(1/6)

“Hell yeah!” Screams a crow against a rainbow backdrop, their eyes sparkling in trans colors.

The crow is clearly the Chaotic Queer Corvid Collector familiar, now showing off their rainbow tipped chest feathers as they raise their wings and smile, “Real artists are still making cool shit!”
