I updated the emoji pack page again. I also want to change the list view to look more interesting. Maybe adding download buttons right there, some more information... we'll see.

Two of the world’s biggest data center developers have projects in Nvidia Corp.’s hometown that may sit empty for years because the local utility isn’t ready to supply electricity.
So I'm just a silly werefloof who knows nothing about data centers and electricity, but isn't this the kind of thing you secure before investing a shitload of money?

Since I'm talking about how fucked up modern UI design is, here's something I really hate.

First, why the fuck are these in a submenu? They're are all, without any exaggeration, the actions I use the most. Way more than any of the ""important"" ones they didn't tuck away.

Second, why does the submenu work like this? It's super quick and easy to navigate traditional layered menus, but here I have to click around without any benefit to make up for it.

@anthropy I never understood the appeal of most supposedly "cute" breeds of cats and dogs, especially the ones with a smushed face.

neg, pol, "ai" @lumi My washing machine has an AI mode, too. I have no idea what it even does. I don't think it even loads successfully because the indicator never stops blinking when you select it neofox_googly

@PsyChuan Modern UI design is all about discarding the lessons we learned in the past, repeating its mistakes and learning them anew (hopefully) (they will be discarded in the future again anyway)

What people who go "I don't use CWs because everyone MUST see this" don't realize is that microblogging fundamentally flips around the dynamic of our interaction with the world. Rather than explicitly opting into specific social contexts — a website, a group of friends, the news — microblogging forces you to engage with everything all the time without any break. CWs and all the other tools to opt-out are ridiculously bad and ineffective and in the grand scheme of things can't do shit against the negative effects of this type of platform design, but they offer at least a little bit of protection.

This is too funny. I had one notification which showed as a red 1 in the taskbar (NOT systray) icon. I finally dismissed it, and suddenly the online status in the systray icon showed up.

??? Why, Microsoft???

It irks me to no end that I had to use rootMargin: "101% 0px -101% 0px" for the IntersectionObserver to detect if the user is at the top of the page. 100%/-100% detects even the very top as scrolled.
