@argyleink One thing i am starting to see more and more is people using rem/ems only for text and setting padding and margins using px. The argument for it is that padding/margin value shouldn't scale with the user's root html font size preferences. Can you please give me your opinion regarding that or point me to some blog post/ Youtube video?

@kocienda @atomicpoet @mike THIS ⬆️ Many people, including me, consider Mastodon be "hacky". Recently, I tried to follow someone on here but couldn't because of their server configuration. Almost every day, I randomly click on profiles only to be told that I cannot view toots from that account unless I sign up for a specific server. The decentralization Mastodon puts the burden on the user to figure things out, but most users are not capable or willing to host their own servers. Therefore, they create accounts on existing servers that have their own rules and values, including strict privacy policies that prevent users from other servers from viewing their toots. This can be confusing for unsuspecting users. The reason why monolithic social media platforms succeeded is not because users are stupid or because they received a lot of investment, but because they provided the least experience resistance.

@stroughtonsmith I keep revisiting a sentence I read in the Steve Jobs biography: "Apple only works when Steve is at the helm, and Microsoft only works because they're okay with releasing shit products." Every piece of news and "innovation" from Apple seems to be focused on generating more revenue, rather than producing better products. It's been eight years since the release of the Apple Watch, and it's still just an iPhone accessory designed to keep users locked into the ecosystem. It's interesting to think about what would have happened if Steve hadn't agreed to release iTunes on Windows because he wanted to increase sales of Mac computers and keep customers in the Apple ecosystem.

@argyleink Css is becoming so freaking coool!

@rileytestut Blogging was already dying before this, I highly doubt blogging won’t become a niche in the coming years. I mean how can you trust written information online anymore?

@argyleink Is this coming to chrome anytime soon?

@iinavpov @jtemple But what should be the test period? Let’s say we do test it for 5 years and all trails are a success. Global temps are down and we are no longer suffering the effects of global warming. However, 10-20 years down the line we discover that partially blocking the sun rays (however a minute amount) caused our planets to not grow and we have more viruses now (the sun is a pathogens killers). Isn’t this effect even worse than global warming? For me, I see a huge risk for unintended consequences. That’s just my opinion and I could be wrong.

@jtemple have never been afraid of change and have always been supportive, but this specific geo-engineering method terrifies me. The sun is a pathogen killer used by plants to grow and has many other important functions. There are too many chances for this method to go wrong and cause unintended consequences.

@lucas Definitely!

@lucas Ok so before reading this post I have never known that there is an app such as Pagi. I have always searched for similar apps and I was never able to find something that ticks all the boxes for me! I am definitely going to be a customer moving forward. Please don’t get discouraged by Apple’s stupidity, myself and many people who are into journaling really appreciate apps such as Pagi!
