Recent Notes

I'm like Goldilocks with print editions of the Bible: text too small, size too large, not enough margin, too much wasted space ... :)

Finding that perfect specimen of a paper bible is like a treasure hunt. I found one good pocket edition with a readable font many years ago and I carried it everywhere 'religiously'.

Now I read 99% on a computer screen.

@OCTADE I thought I had found one, single column, recent edition, great size, but it was on a yellowish paper with very light subtitles, chapter and verse numbers, and significant bleed-through. https://my.talesofmy.life/photo/5099367a-bcdf-4065-ad2d-9f2648a56048-2.jpg

Oh. Is this happening with the provided default CSS, or with a custom one? CC: nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpqcet84yh8dpcsndmadskevuqy52dctz7p3m3xl86p5vnlf9w0d3gqsx7sdx

I just tested with the default modern.css style file and the error is replicated.

Something in the CSS overlay rendering is causing the header to invisibly overlay the 'clear all' button, deny mouse pointer access to it.

I have replicated it several times in Firefox and Brave browsers.

If I zoom in until the header forces the next content to flow over to the next line, then the 'clear all' button becomes visible.

That's strange. I have no idea about why it may happen, you probably have to report it to the author of modern.css CC: nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpqcet84yh8dpcsndmadskevuqy52dctz7p3m3xl86p5vnlf9w0d3gqsx7sdx

This is odd, it works for me. CC: nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpqcet84yh8dpcsndmadskevuqy52dctz7p3m3xl86p5vnlf9w0d3gqsx7sdx

I figured out that it is not the snac engine. Something in the CSS stylesheet is overlaying the button at the particular zoom level. When I change the zoom the button works.

I'm running snac/2.92-dev.

I notice that in the notifications page that the 'clear all' button does not function. Is anyone else having this issue?

'sloccount' says snac2 is valuable: Total Estimated Cost to Develop = $ 740,878 Wow, that's a lot of inexistent money

OCTADE @OCTADE 1779389183

That dollar amount is in 2004 dollars. Probably double that in today's inflated dollars.

A woodpecker greeted me this morning.

Then a songbird sang right outside my window.

The fledglings left the nest above my window. For days I could hear them chirping as their parents came to and fro with grub.

Now birds are singing all around my yard as the sun rises.

Sites for reading the Bible (not apps) should be simpler. #Bible

OCTADE @OCTADE 1778651711

I just now saw this old comment. I am bumping this.

I am brainstorming a simple bible site generator and this is one of my recurring thoughts on the matter.

Randal · 18w

@OCTADE Tremendous, thanks! I use several, and most throw in their studies, articles, and theologies. And ads, of course. A few avoid this. Also, I use a number of Brazilian versions, so my options are more limited. I have to jump from one app to the other. This goes beyond my original lamentation,...

I found this comment in activitypub.c while reading some of the snac2 source code :

/* unify the garbage fire that are the attachments */

Involuntary chortle activated. It is a good read so far.

The Rust Wedge and the Big Tech Buy-off: A Veteran Engineer’s Warning to Every PC Owner (+ jofito)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0JAAF61AiE
"I warned you years ago that Windows 11 was the beginning of the end. Today, the door is officially closing on general-purpose computing. In this 24-minute manifesto, I am moving past the "ripping on Rust" memes to address a documented existential threat to your hardware. Between the $12.5M Big Tech "security" grants and the US government's memory-safety mandates, we are witnessing a coordinated execution of legacy systems."
