god. Completed SMTV...
... now to edit the stream down for the LP finale...
We do recall of a method to do this with pure HTML/CSS, for doing drop-down menus, but that barely got any use and JS became so ubiquitous that everyone did it the JS way anyway.
You know what, we really need a pure HTML/CSS spoiler/content-warn-collapse HTML tag. It's a pretty common function, though admittedly the layout and structure of such things varies from website to website.
... and the thing it solves: activating JS to open read-mores on toot direct links, is moot when the up-to-date instances require JS to load anything (grump) anyway~.
Double ugh: turns out my CSS userstyle solution for thumbnail heights breaks spoilered/CW'ing images - collapses their height entirely and makes it look like there's no image there at all.
ughhhhh trying to untangle this web app weird css is just not fun
someone else do it
Current solution works, but - with letterboxing on - it introduces a small space underneath any short images, and doesn't centre tall images.
With letterboxing off the small space vanishes, but instead seems to cut off rounded corners instead. May have other weirdness too, hrm.
.media-gallery{
height: unset !important;
min-height: 0px !important;
max-height: 309px !important;
}
I don't like that generally the newest version of Mastodon, looking at other instances, is maybe trying to more be inviting to Twitter users. It has trending now! Don't you want to engage with the popular stuff, like all the normies~?
... man I still wish shorter-than-wide images were collapsed vertically though. At least on awoo, any image I post always takes up a full 16:9 space.
Hmm, no, I don't think I like what appears to be inline metrics on the latest version of Mastodon, looking at other instances.
Making metrics less obvious was a good thing, actually.
vr selfies, implied adult joke
Hmm, I wonder what this place is...
Not that I really want to be CWing everything but I do wish image thumbnails were a bit smaller sometimes. Like if it's shorter than it is wide by a certain amount bias that, but beyond a certain point just crop the sides as is standard.
twitter bit
The last post I made on Twitter was a good bit reference and the more Twitter stays up/people post the more y'all are mucking it up!!
... so when are we going to get a federated video hosting service, so we're not beholden to Youtube?
It seems like a good idea in theory, it's just unfortunately held back by both the space and bandwidth demands of hosting/streaming video.
Google+ actually had some good ideas in terms of friend circles and other design choices.
It just was very Google and wanted legal names (and pushed that into Youtube) and that just ruined everything else about it.
