Switched back to SAPI for RS Games because it was requested.

Condensed the code that generates moving between workspaces with control+f#. Added control+shift+f# to move the currently focused application to the specified workspace, e.g. control+shift+f4 moves the current application to workspace 4.

OMG! This is terrible! … I don’t have the poop emoji for my instance. Anyone know where to get it?

@celtichawk Sorry, I didn’t see any of this til now, was having a hamburger steak with some bacon. 😋

@celtichawk peertube-viewer-rs is based on youtube-viewer which is what pipe-viewer is based on too. You do have to configure a default instance, or use the -i flag. You can use -t to see what’s trending on the instance you chose, unless they use sepia I think it’s called.

@celtichawk if you want it to start on a page, export WWW_HOME in your .bashrc or .bash_profile, E.G.

WWW_HOME="https://duckduckgo.com"

@celtichawk I do most of my browsing from the command line, only breaking out the heavy browsers for javascript. I use w3m, especially for searching and reading articles. I even have keybindings for opening media links in mpv with the --really-quiet and --no-video flags. Another one sends the current page to brave, in case I stumble across something that has too much js.

@celtichawk lol that's awesome. He is wherre most of our weather info comes from. He's so accurate it's scary.

yesterday, it was so hot that the AC ran off and on all day long. This morning, the heat is running nonstop. Oh, and we apparently have another hurricane, Nicole, coming that will meet up with a storm coming from the west. Things are about to get interesting I think…

I gave i3 a spin for a day or so. I’m back on Ratpoison now, but i3 is quite neat. If ratpoison ever becomes unusable, i3 will be my next choice. It is a very close second.

I wonder if [markdown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown) works on pinafore?

@sektor @adam Woe, this is pretty awesome.

Hmm, interesting new layout for #pleroma. Nice unlabeled button at the bottom for posting. lol

@liberachat awesome, thank you for checking into this for me. Email has been sent.

@liberachat I had a brief internet outage today, and when I came back I am not able to join irc.libera.chat. It says my ip has been banned because it is on some .org site. That should not be the case because I have had this ip for years, and never used it for spam of any sort.

Happy Halloween! 🎃 In other news, today is also my 18th Anniversary, maried for 18 awesome years! 🎃

The wifi flickered briefly, causing the family to descend on me "WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE WIFI! FIX IT!"

Well dear family, it is now fixed, as proven by this post.

I had an interesting debate with someone about the Firefox checkbox to disable accessibility. My stance is that it is discriminatory against blind users specifically, and possibly others that would depend on the framework. the dude I was talking to said it is not, and it is a way to improve security if the accessibility features are not needed. Ok, so if we were to sail on down BS creek, where is the ability to turn off display to the screen. If I am using firefox and only use screen reader output, I don’t need text or images output to the screen, just send info to my reader. this would improve security too, not only that, but it would save processing power without having to render all that stuff to the screen. Also, why would offering accessibility features be less secure than not, if there are holes in the software, they need to be fixed. Am I entitled to less security merely for the crime of being born blind? How is it that Chrome, and even old browsers like Internet Explorer can offer the same security to people with and without disabilities? Is it really any wonder that Firefox has lost 40 some million users in the last couple years? Maybe I have a bias view of these things, but usually applications with no accessibility, or a shoddy implementation of accessibility, tend to not be very good anyway. It is usually disappointing to find someone to help with a program that has poor or unimplemented accessibility only to find out that it sucks anyway. Perhaps if Firefox would spend more effort on consuming less memory, loading faster, and making things easier to find and use, and spend less time on disabling critical functionality with the click of a checkbox, they could win back some of those 40 million people who moved on to better browsers. Personally, I only install it briefly if there’s something Orca can’t handle well with Brave. This is becoming more and more rare, and I haven’t had to do it in at least 6 months. Mostly, that is because of the checkbox to disable accessibility. If they removed that option, I maybe would use it more just to keep up with new happenings in its development if nothing else. While that box is there though, I can’t be bothered enough to care about the rest of it.

Hmm, what happened to the ability to post in markdown?
