Password shenanigans. 

I can pay the bill for my TMS provider online, which is great, but the account setup procedure is the worst:

• limited to 6–15 characters
• case-insensitive
• doesn't allow non-alphanumerics
• ... but never reveals this fact
• though leaving the password blank shows an error message, any amount of text is accepted
• but on submitting it hangs indefinitely!

At least it didn't set up the account with a password I couldn't enter! In fact, it didn't set anything up at all and I had to re-enter all the info and guess at password limitations until it took one.

But it must be secure; it has a Google reCaptcha! *bangs head on desk until the Internet breaks*

The Internet treats nuance as damage and routes around it

Today's glimpse into the Museum of Website Oddities: WorldAnvil 

For some reason, WorldAnvil allows use of the enhanced BBcode editor in the textbox for serving custom page CSS... but not for writing character journals.

@noiob Better question: Will this one survive my leaden thumbs any better than the last three I purchased?

@typhlosion Don't tempt me. I could cause permanent emotional trauma to folks with the way I stumble through ALttPR runs.

the idiom economy is in dire straits. an ounce of prevention is currently worth only a couple ounces of cure. a bird in the hand is actually worth less than one in the bush. it's mayhem

@Soreth @starkatt I use :ms_purple_heart:​ most of the time for all cases... but I switch to :ms_green_heart:​ when feeling particularly changeling-y.

My little magical cyborg pony Millimax uses :ms_large_orange_diamond:​ because when she upgrades to being fully non-organic her heart will instead be an octahedral core of copper!

You might be an Internet Ancient if you: 

• remember Netscape Navigator

• ever used any modem with a bandwidth of 28,8 or lower

• had an Early Adopter account on Livejournal

• witnessed the rise and fall of PhPBB

• witnessed the rise and fall of Napster

• used the web before Google existed

• ever used a dialup BBS site

• remember Gopher

• ever downloaded music as .mod files

• remember when about 90% of the web was made up of personal sites which were "under construction" and had pictures of people's cats on them

• remember when Yahoo was literally just a big list of websites

• know IRC commands

• have heard anyone unironically use the phrase "information superhighway"

• can recognise different bandwidth modems by what bleepy handshake sound they make

• have ever received one of those chain e-mails where you have to scroll through about a kilometre of forwarded headers only to find a "hilarious" vaguely lewd image and/or a banal list like this one

I'm disappointed, but somehow not surprised.

I didn't even know there was an International Non-binary Day! 

About two decades ago, I opted out of binary gender and attempted to take on zie/zir pronouns. I really wanted to see non- and other-genderedness be recognized. I kept with this for quite some time despite a lot of social pushback. Still, after a while my anxiety got the better of me. I settled on she/her. But I definitely gave up on gender internally, and I would say as much. ("You're a woman, right?" "Ennh... *shrug*")

At some point within the last few years I saw the rise in folks using they/them and decided it was time to try again. I've settled in comfortably!

So, thanks to all you other non-binary types out there! Even if individually we couldn't all keep up the struggle, our collective efforts are showing real motion... and some of us who'd nearly given up are optimistic again. (And helping push!)

This is the Setun computer

It was developed in 1958 at Moscow State University

It used ternary logic with a balanced ternary numeral system (which is to say, -1, 0, 1)

basically: NON BINARY COMPUTER FOR NONBINARY DAY! :flag_nonbinary:
