@prologic@twtxt.net I like the last two, on the first three you sent. I looked up “Canarvon Gorge”, and read more about it. Thanks for introducing me to it!
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, I love them! :-D
@prologic@twtxt.net This looks really nice! I love the view. For a brief second, the rock in the left bottom corner of the first photo reminded me of a croc tail. These are some massive cliffs, I get the impression that walking down there feels cool during the heat. Yeah, it’s winter over there, but it cooled me off by just looking at it. :-) Oh no, somebody lost their hat.
A few more…
As promised, here’s some photos of love you!! camping trip to Canarcon George in QLD, Australia.
Heck yeah, I’ve been a firefly taxi again! \o/ One landed on my hiking boot and rode along a few meters. It then took off on its own without me having to help it. I saw easily a thousand glowing individuals tonight, bloody cool. :-)
Ted Unangst’s snarky (and entertaining) remarks this month:
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I first wondered how the lists could be ever improved, but then b.png shows the better approach with the inset boxes on the left. No surprises there. Very clearly communicated.
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Ah! I see there is now some competition going on between the Tux avatars. ;-)
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz That’s an interesting concept I never heard of before. Though, as a German, my data protection kicks in. ;-)
These are lists in your Inkscape example, right?
The font stuff? Yeah, that’s a scrollable list where you can select the current font.
Someone did a thing:

I’ve been silently wondering all the time if this was possible, but never investigated: Keep doing X11 but use Wayland as a backend.
This uses XWayland’s “rootful” mode, which basically just gives you a normal Wayland window with all the X11 stuff happening inside of it:
https://www.phoronix.com/news/XWayland-Rootful-Useful
In other words, put such a window in fullscreen and you (more or less) have good old X11 running in a Wayland window.
(For me, personally, this won’t be the way forward. But it’s a very interesting project.)
we should bring back XFN that is the cutest shit in the world i want to link to my friends and have the internet know they are my friends through the markup!!!!!!!!!!!
@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club so real lol
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org i’ve been playing with h-card stuff lately! got one marked up and validated with indiewebifyme and it all checks out :D you can see it on my about page at the bottom
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Which one(s) are you looking right now?
Woops, sorry if my Pod was offline for a few days, I hadn’t checked and needed to renew the domain xP
guys microformats are so fun
@prologic@twtxt.net hello!!!
@prologic@twtxt.net Oh cool, completely disconnected is the best! Looking forward to the photos. :-)
@movq@www.uninformativ.de We did indeed! 😅 I’ll share photos soon™ 🔜 Was completely “off-grid”, no connectivity to anything anywhere 🤣
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, the crash killed it.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yes, flat UIs are broken! I’m used to that by now, but it’s still more work to recognize than when there are borders around buttons, etc.
These are lists in your Inkscape example, right? (I’m too lazy to start Inkscape myself and look at it. And writing this took longer than just seeing for myself, but here we are. I met up with one of my best schoolmate this morning and it’s fucking hot already. So I blame the heat.) Nested tabs are probably an own death sin in itself. I know, I know, the upper ones can be made into windows and dragged around, but still.
@prologic@twtxt.net Heyho, welcome back. 👋 Did you guys have a nice trip? 😊
I’m back! 👋
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Probably. :-) I just saw that the account on Yarn is also gone. Maybe it didn’t survive the crash earlier this year.
Just realized: One of the reasons why I don’t like “flat UIs” is that they look broken to me. Like the program has a bug, missing pixmaps or whatever.
Take this for example:
https://movq.de/v/8822afccf0/a.png
I’m talking about this area specifically:
https://movq.de/v/8822afccf0/a%2Dhigh.png
One UI element ends and the other one begins – no “transition” between them.
The style of old UIs like these two is deeply ingrained into my brain:
https://movq.de/v/8822afccf0/b.png
https://movq.de/v/8822afccf0/c.png
When all these little elements (borders, handles, even just simple lines, …) are no longer present, then the program looks buggy and broken to me. And I’m not sure if I’ll ever be able to un-learn that.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, it’s been a while. Didn’t feel this long, though. Not at all, I’m quite surprised. :-O
But like with every quality content, there is no publishing schedule. Eventually, @mckinley@mckinley.cc will write another article for all of us. :-)
I was wondering: What the heck is the light on my boot!? Turns out between sock and shoe tongue was a firefly, unbelievable! ;-D I’ve no idea how that happened. After untying, it took me five attempts to finally get it off. How crazy!
Watching several hundred glowworms tonight did not get boring. It’s just so damn cool. :-)
Alright, now for something fun! Taxes! Yay!
I went to the firefly party again and checked them out on a different path. Boys and girls, there were so many of them! Apparently, I took the wrong turn and the numbers dropped. Still several hundreds if not over a thousand, but I’m spoiled now.
On the way there I noticed an absolutely spectacular sunset. However, I didn’t bring my camera. Should have peaked through the closed shutters before I left.
It turns out the disco music from the next town over wasn’t only audible in the forest but is also free-to-air in my bed. :-( It’s earplugs time.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Wow. Just like Skyrim! 😃
@mckinley@mckinley.cc’s blog appears to have gone stale, hm.
Thanks @bender@twtxt.net! Yeah, so super cute. I couldn’t pet them, though. Despite very curious, they were also very restless.
I persuaded my dad to check out the fireflies with me tonight. He only wanted to go for a short trip, so we came just across a couple hundred of them. Otherwise, the thousands mark would have been exceeded in no time. He was super glad I talked him into that. :-)
It was also my first time to see them over the meadows. Those numbers don’t compare to the ones inside the forest, no question, but we probably saw 60 or so. Haven’t come across them there before, I only heard and read about that.
Note to future-Lyse next year: Leaving at 21:45 seems like a good time. We left earlier and had to wait just a few more minutes for them to come out in masses.
Too bad it’s impossible to share photos or videos. My camera isn’t made for that at all, not even close.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org such a beautiful goooooooat! Those eye, and the ear I would love to pet… Nice click, mate!
Anyone that the Pigs don’t like sure is the perfect candidate. Without fail.
Happy for you! Mamdani looks like he will be good for NYC.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org it’s so bad!!!
Hahaha, I’m sure there were well over one thousand fireflies today! Basically at all times I could watch at least 15 of them around me. At better spots where one could see a few meters into the forest, there were easily 30 individuals, probably more. One even landed on my small finger. I didn’t feel anything at all, but my finger glowed. :-) Awwww! After a 20 meters ride it took off.
But it looks like I have to go already at 21:30 at sunset the next days. Today, I left the house at 22:00 and all the above happend in the first half. The second half of the walk was rather boring, maybe just around 70 glowworms in total. The extremely busy route yesterday was virtually dead this time I came around. They all have already gone to sleep, or something like that.
I also encountered two toads. I nearly stepped on the first one, but it luckily jumped to the side in time. No animals harmed.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz It’s awful, “just” 32°C here. When I rode my bike into town I came across some spots where the heat was stationary built up and really intense. The airflow felt like the sauna attendant poured water over the heated rocks and severely fanned the hot air with his towel.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de That short segment is fairly close to reality, even though it obviously looks heaps better in person: https://youtu.be/u8YVorNRcDM?t=66
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Oh dear. 😩
i love pinkpantheress so much she’s so cute and fun and tapped into every aesthetic and dance music sound i love. if you like house and garage and D&B music, check her out!!!! she absolutely knows her shit too btw she’s sampled basement jaxx and adam F

@thecanine@twtxt.net awww so cute and silly!!!
@movq@www.uninformativ.de OMG SLEEPY LITTLE GUY!!!
@movq@www.uninformativ.de it’s sooo bad here on the east coast of the US omg 102F/38C heat here!!
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I also don’t think that I’m a particularly good speaker. :-) The workshop model is a good idea, I like that.
Yeah, it’s really good fun. I can highly recommend it. This is also a good way to train (new) developers to think like attackers, how to break in, destroy something or raise awareness of some classes of bugs. Then you can avoid them next time. It’s surprising to me what vulnerabilities come up during this event every time. So, absolutely worth it, win, win.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, really!? You should come visit. :-)
As far as I know females are sitting in the shrubs and males fly around, but they’re not all that quick. They are slowly moving glowing dots that you can easily follow with your eyes. The bigger problem might be that they turn off and then on again. So, one could count duplicates. However, there’s typically a bit of distance between them (at least 30-50 cm I’d say, often more). Counting the same individual multiple times is not all that common (assuming that they don’t speed up when turned off). My counting was also conservative I believe.
Ah, Die Maus also covered them a few days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVGD5QEvtoc At the end, there’s a video were you can see the speeds a bit.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Tada, cool! :-)
@arne@uplegger.eu Stattdessen rutscht er seitlich vom Tisch? 🤪
