Early Christmas gift… except I’m not allowed to touchy touchy until the 25th… 🤣
@movq You could have a look at these, I currently use the IBM fonts. https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/
@prologic thanks for looking! @thecanine hmmm! Well I can get win3.1 running under dosbox (rather than than wine or qemu) so it should work fine from there. 🤞
So I found this, but $10USD… sheesh! Haha
Long shot here… looking for a copy of an old Windows game called Mordor Depths of Dejenol. Used to play it as a teen in the mid 90s…

All I can find is the shareware copy, silly me threw away all my old video game stuff. Past Phil was very stupid… 😅
@fastidious Probably that silly padding. What’s another day of CSS fixes hey? 🤣
Lorem ipsum? 🙃
Well, my first rule on Quisquiliae is that you need to have at least one swear word in your twt… _shit_… 😂
I mean you could set rules for users for your own pod.
I honestly can’t remember now 😅
What if it was just hidden in a collapsable box?
My pod is showing up twice?

I did look at VSCodium, but something something Microsoft irks me LOL
I did look at VSCodium, but something something Microsoft irks me LOL. I just like how lightweight and no nonsense Geany is. But I'll install VSCodium and see what it's like :)
Just the one I linked to, a preview version for their lightweight IDE. Which I guess is going to be competing against the likes of Sublime, Atom, and Brackets. Will be interesting to see if it's a paid product.

Nothing will beat good ol' Geany.

I use their PyCharm IDE at work to teach people, mainly kids/teens, the basics of Python coding. Lots of fun.

However nothing will beat good ol' Geany!
Ugh, I'm a sucker for JetBrains products... This is not an advertisement I promise LOL!
Happy to explore alternative locations.
No worries, can fix that up. 👌
That’s easy enough!
@fastidious Fixed, fixed, and other things fixed.
No the general rule of thumb is that you take a little piece and get somebody ELSE to eat it and then wait a few hours...
How did I miss these?! Hahaha

Here is a link to some commonly found mushies in Aus
@prologic !!! I would not even think to look there! 😬
I’ll see what I can whip up tomorrow. 👍
Generally speaking, people tend to look for symbols and images first then read text. Scrolling through yarns with a visual indicator may be helpful for some. Think of it as a useful nicety for visual UX.
What about a slightly smaller avatar on mobile too?
Will look into word-break tomorrow. 👌
Oh I can definitely revert back to that. 🙂

However it still won’t fix the issue when somebody has a longer domain name than what the screen supports.
It’s to do with text size. But even still if somebody has a long domain name it’s going to be cut off regardless. Will have to think about this one.
Fan-tas-tic. 🤣
@fastidious This is going to be quite a challenge I think. It looks okay on my end. Maybe have to rethink what we do with the @ tags after the username.

@fastidious not sure about that one. I get a progress bar down the bottom saying processing video, uploading video.
Oh yeah I’m not saying to remove it. Just a small icon on the upper left corner of the avatar to indicate whether that is “you” (me) or another use on your pod.
@fastidious Can I grab a screenshot? 🙂
Hmmm. I’m noticing a dark blue flash on all the text when navigating on iOS. Is anybody else able to see that with their version?
What are everyones thoughts on the 'me' appearing on feeds instead of the username? Perhaps we could have an indicator that this feed is actually you. And perhaps also we could have another indicator to state that the user is from your own pod too?
@kt84 Holy moley! I didn't even see that you replied until just now, so sorry! Thank you for the welcome! :)
I love when a test gives a green tick. If anybody wants to test the UX/UI changes here 'tis, https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/yarn/pulls/580

As always, feedback feedback feedback! :)
"I love working with CSS", said nobody ever.
Update...
@darch Yeah I've tried several solutions, so I opted to centre the icons above the text hahaha. It actually looks pretty good if I do say so myself.
@lyse I'd look into writing something that supports the Subsonic API. A lot of clients support that type of API. https://www.navidrome.org/docs/developers/subsonic-api/
@movq I play guitar. Even though you're a bass player I'm sure you would have some handy tips that you could pass on to a learner? Only been playing since the beginning of this year.
Sorry to be a pain. Is there a dumb-downed version about what this means? 😬
@lyse I use Qmmp for all my self-ripped FLAC collection.
There is always Webamp haha! 😂👌
@lyse You should check out these two projects, Navidrome and sonixd.
I’ll see what I can do! 😉
Thinner, maybe, I’m looking into that font compiling at some stage. The labels are the same size as the nav bar on desktop. Again, on mobile, I increased them a little bit otherwise they’re a bit on the small side.
You play guitar or bass? I've been doing something similar for a couple of weeks now before I start playing guitar. My short stubby fingers feel like they're on fire each time hahaha!
I'm really happy with how this has turned out. What does everybody think?
That's bloody awesome! Good luck and all the best with the tournament!
@prologic That twt out of context is just so weird LOL
I like to punish myself hahaha.
Damn that’s a nice theme.
I’m happy to share my Spotify playlist if anybody is interested! 😄
@prologic (#vglrdia) You should create your own news site, with the ability to subscribe to different feeds and/or people… wait a sec…
Might not have a chance to do anything this weekend… I mean I will try and make time though! 😂

Gotta work on this bloody Excel power query issue that has come up at work. 😤

There is a love/hate relationship with that software.
@stutteringsteve that was my thought too! “Pfft containers, VMs will still be champion” is still _technically_ true. But running up a docker instance of something by just simply writing a text-file is just something eerily magical.

I’d recommend checking out Proxmox. That was my first introduction to containers a few years back. Now I use portainer for all my stuff and considering using… _gasp…_ RancherOS 😂_
❤️ Gonna redo that early conflicting PR for the profiles over the weekend. 😂
@prologic wait so RancherOS is just one big lie? 😂
Oh wow! Yes! That looks 500x better. Consistency should be something to aim for between the app and web, in most cases anyway.
Oh yeah the instructions are fine. When I went to install the fontforge package it wanted me to install an entire fleet of other stuff.

I’ll do a test over the weekend if nobody else gets to it 👍
Would this project help in any way?
@prologic awesome! Now to move on and break more stuff! Hooray! 😂😅
These are the changes I ended up making to the profile to make profiles and feeds streamlined. https://imgur.com/a/fDBQIHv
Perhaps a global setting for image compression? That way if your instance has lots of space (and bandwidth I guess) they could choose 100 then default it to like 85 🤷🏼‍♂️

The only other suggestion would be to convert to png and then do a lossless crush on the image. in most cases they yield a lower filesize than a 100% jpeg.
@prologic Sweet! I had a look at fontforge. Seems a bit convoluted for what we’re trying to achieve haha
I use keeppass kbdx4 files. I use keepassxc with browser plugin on Fedora, and Strongbox on iOS and MacOS. I have them stored somewhere safe (duh 😂) and have a weekly backup running to two different locations.

Before that I was using vaultwarden, it’s a lighter version of bitwarden.
@darch That only works for SVG items afaik. I can try it but I doubt it will change anything for a compiled font.
Changing the font-weight does not take any effect on the woff font unfortunately. I guess we would have to recompile the font to a lighter border.
My folks have that in their yard, we call them “old man’s beard”! 😂
@darch holy moley that looks so much better hahaha
@homer I believe so. font-weight is currently set at 400. I could see what it looks like at 300 (or even 200).
Responsive layout fixes ahoy. 👌
@prologic @fastidious want to know something silly? The icons were not working properly due to the fact that the TEXT not the ICONS had custom data attributes.

Once they were added to the icons the mobile view is more responsive.

I even lowered the size of the mobile nav options.

Let me know what you think. It's still under the PR 572.
Had a quick look this morning before work. The issue with no.2 is for some reason the icon tag doesn’t want to play nice with the a tag…

🤔 When I get a spare chance I’ll take another gander.
They can be decreased no worries. Only reason why I increased them with more gaps is for people with fat fingers like myself.

Perhaps I could do a “fat fingers” theme? LOL 😂
@fastidious

1. I’m not quite sure what you’re seeing. It looks fine on an iPhone 11, Samsung S20, and also desktop and inspector view.

2. Something weird is going on with that. I have a feeling I know why it’s doing that. Won’t be able to look at it for a few hours.

3. Again, too big? I’m not quite sure what you’re seeing. Attach a screenshot?
@prologic Looks much better now.
Just gotta do something about that eenie-teenie formatting toolbar. @prologic mentioned something about a fork that was fixing that. I'mma go have a look at that I reckon.
Nevermind. That’s fixed.
@fastidious @darch The only last issue I'm having is on mobile there is a large gap underneath the pod logo. However if I open up the menu and close it there is no gap.

.podLogo { padding-bottom: 2rem; } #mainNav[class=""] .podLogo { padding-bottom: 0; }
@prologic Okay, PR submitted. Fingers, eyes, toes, tongue crossed.
Okay, well here goes nothing I guess. 😂

_What's another PR without some more fixes eh?__
Okay, for all of you who are following me. This is what I've come up with.

I checked it once, I've checked it twice, I've re-checked it on desktop and mobile. I checked it thrice. https://i.imgur.com/RJc6QCz.mp4
The icons need to be bigger I reckon
Fixed both the nav icon issue, with a block display removal, and then a "fix" for the conv buttons...

The issue I see with this is that the hash code of the twt pushes the options over.

If the hash code were to be moved to another location, perhaps under the main post, it could be included with other hash tags that a user has placed on the post.
This was fixed in the last PR.
The icon layout was not changed. Nor was the size changed. The hamburger menu was also not modified.

Other than increasing the size of the icons I’m not quite sure how we could fit these with an acceptable use.

Perhaps have the main bold italics etc still show but have a drop down button for the other icons.

B I U (mention) (link) (photo)

Then in dropdown have:

(code) (upload options)

That way increasing the size of the tappable icons, even on desktop, will alleviate any mis-taps.
My apologies for any UI/UX updates that may have broken peoples experiences. 💔
Why does mobile web have to be such a PITA. Just fit damn you.

Would it be so bad if I just hid the text labels on mobile web?
Yeah there is a PR for those coming. 👍
Feeling this right about now. 😂
