Please Mastodon, would it be so difficult to add a button or some kind of more obvious clickable area to select a post that doesn't contain text?

In the below screenshot, I have highlighted the area I need to click to see this @nprofile1q... post.

Surely I can't be the only one who has desperately searched for this space to click?

As much as I am a fan of the idea of Flatpak, and how I believe it's the only practical way for regular users to operate a Linux system, this is not a good UI experience. Which Thunderbird am I supposed to install?

Clicking on them, the two first are from "Thunderbird Project", while the third (as well as Betterbird) are from "MZLA Technologies, part of the Mozilla foundation".

I think the latter is the right one to install, but how would a user not deep into this stuff know what to choose?

Inspired by the call by @nprofile1q... for posts about things we do, here's a little update on my project.

Part of my goal with Kap is to make it into something different from just a programming language. I like making the comparison to Excel which by all definitions is a programming language, but it's also a system with which the user works with and presents data.

I already built a spreadsheet-like tool to edit data, but I haven't done much in the way of presenting information. I'm now working on a simple way to define forms, which can be rendered as a native UI, using HTML or even in a terminal. Once I've gotten further, I'll share a screencast, but for now, here's a screenshot.

Youtube ads

I've disabled as much ad tracking as possible on ny youtube account, and by doing so I get to see some of the mpst sloppy generic youtube ads.

I just saw one that started: "every story ends, but not this one". Apparently for some shitty mobile game. I turned it off after that, but that quote was truly slop.

There's a lot of these mobilr game ads: "your high school was hit by a comet and all yout classmates are turned into zombies. What do you want to be?"

Lots of investment ads as well. A computer voice saying "the AI supply chain is booming". What does thar even mean?

Check this out, I kinda like the simplicitly in using Kap to work with SQL databases.

As is shown in the second part of the video, you can also use SQL to work with Kap variables.
