Really just the way posts look against the dark grey background when dark mode is on. Dark on light looks weird to me, and occasionally makes it difficult for me to tell where one post ends and another begins when I’m skim-reading. Personally, I’d suggest making the posts slightly lighter than the grey background, then making the background black (or something very dark, like #262626).

Currently:

• Option to upload media from within the app
• A button to write a new post, rather than having to navigate to the community and use the box
• A notification centre
• Improvements to viewing user profiles
• Better link handling
• More colour contrast between posts and the app background
• Edit buttons on posts
• Option to view images fullscreen and save them to gallery
• Improvements to the search bar
• bUg FiXeS aNd PeRfOrMaNcE iMpRoVeMeNtS

Ideas for the future:

• Custom icons
• Customisable UI
• Profile editor
• Inline video playback
• Easter eggs?

Good luck, and great job so far!

I’ve created !weirdcore@sopuli.xyz. It’s an internet aesthetic, combining nostalgia, surrealism, Y2K aesthetics, and confusion into a niche art style.

Based on my parents’ reactions to it, it’s an acquired taste, but it’s worth a look. Read more about it on the Aesthetics Wiki, here (via BreezeWiki).

Lemmings or Lemmians

Most Saturdays, I work behind the counter of a community pharmacy until lunchtime, then I head home and do nothing.

On Sundays, I do my homework and any tech stuff that needs doing (tomorrow, I’ll be upgrading my laptop from Debian 11 to Debian 12).

It’s not the most exciting weekend by a long stretch, but that’s what I usually do.

Here are a few:

• MNT Reform Laptop (with all the trimmings)
• TUXEDO Stellaris 15 gen4
• Slimbook Titan
• Framework Laptop 16

I used to be able to run everything from Trisquel to MS-DOS; but it’s gone a bit funny recently. Debian and its derivatives are the only thing that works now. Funnily enough, Win$hit doesn’t boot anymore either!

The xenophobia. I have pretty bad anemoia for the '90s, but as a queer person I probably wouldn’t be able to live back then.

That’s fair.

I have three laptops.

My late-2010s home laptop runs Debian 11, because strangely nothing else will boot anymore.

My late-2000s ThinkPad runs Arch, because I like pacman and a ThinkPad like that needs a hackery OS. BSD, Slackware, Void and Gentoo would also fit, but I prefer Arch.

My mid-2000s MacBook runs GNU Guix. Not really sure why I picked it, but it’s a working system on fussy hardware, so I’m happy. However, being a Mac, this doesn’t really count as a PC.

I have three:

• They don’t make things like they used to
• We don’t need all these damned computers in everything
• Modern music sounds like crap

I’m 17.

Try these.

Makes sense. I guess I’ll be taking in a bottle of ice water when I head in to sixth form.

I like !lgbtq_plus@beehaw.org, !map_enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz, and !foss@beehaw.org.

Depends on where I live. Suburbs? Cat. House near the woods? Dog. Mansion or castle? Cat. Town or village? Dog. City centre? Something exotic, like a snake or a lizard. Mountains? Bird of prey.

If NeoPets are what I think they are, yes.

This site lets you create a “GifyPet”.

Nope. AI is all well and good for Quora and Reddit, but it can keep its nose out of the fediverse.

Either spaghetti carbonara (any old pasta with a cream sauce, mushrooms, onion, bacon/pancetta, and parmesan); French onion soup; or Welsh rarebit.

Have a look at Neocities (a successor to Geocities). My website is here.

You can also have a look at the rest of the Fediverse. There are some cool accounts on Mastodon and PeerTube.

For that true “old web” thing, have you ever heard of gemini? Take a look. My capsule on gemini is here, but you will need a gemini browser in order to see it.

Hope this helps!

Ah, well shit. I believe you, but could you give me a link, for proof?
