tl;dr if you are unfamiliar, but you can basically css style parts of the browser that aren't modifiable with extensions or themes!
it's locked behind an about:config option though (toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets)
i think it's like that because they don't really guarantee that the things you css aren't going to change between updates, though i feel like styling body in certain urls is pretty safe
@SirTapTap oh yeah, and for a lot of things, testing a bad answer would take more time than just finding a good one
so like, this is still suuuuper limited as far as usefulness goes
@SirTapTap i think trusting its output would be a mistake, but it also doesn't seem bad for learning about the existence of concepts to look more into yourself~
i saw someone using it to explore how to do things in programming languages they weren't familiar with yet, so they could read the documentation about the things it suggested and mess around with the new information they had
doing that apparently got them up to speed pretty quickly, which i thought was a pretty cool idea!
@VDoesntKnow this makes me think of like, how in battletech things absolutely get annihilated over time, so now you need to pick what era you are playing in so that your rasalhague-based mercenary company makes sense or whatever

Over many years, I have been gradually replacing all of the paragraphs in the Ship of Theseus Wikipedia article.

StreetPass is a cool new browser extension that uses Mastodon's verification system in a clever way.
Mastodon users verify themselves by adding a custom link to their personal site. StreetPass lets you know when you've found one of these links, and adds them to your list. As you browse the web, StreetPass will build a list of Mastodon users that belong to the websites you visit.
I spoke with the creater @tvler about the project, 🧵 below.
Visit https://streetpass.social/ to try it yourself!
@inurashii honestly? this is probably one of the best ways to use something like that!
and as long as you can recognize the possible pitfalls, finding ways of getting new things into your brain faster is not a bad thing at all~

What's that? We, at the @spritelyinst, are launching a Guile->WebAssembly project? https://spritely.institute/news/guile-on-web-assembly-project-underway.html
YOU READ THAT RIGHT! First-class Scheme in the browser by compiling Guile programs *directly* to WebAssembly!!
No emscripten compilation of a bloated underlying runtime, nah.... we're compiling scheme programs DIRECTLY to browser-ready Webassembly!
This is gonna be HUGE!!!! (And, of course, it means a bold path for Spritely in the browser!)
Oh and did I mention... that we're hiring? Because if compilers are your thing, maybe you should come work for us! https://spritely.institute/jobs/compiler-engineer.html

@rinidisc oh wow, these are extremely good!
@sugar heck yeah!
backspace makes for the best programming
re: tech complain
@bunnyhero gosh, "work-mandated antivirus" really shows how out of touch said work is :s
@SomeEgrets oh, of course!
i mostly just wanted to point out the immediate tangible benefits it would have for some people who actually exist, even if there are a few funky bits about its vibe and prerequisite privilege~
removing barriers for the marginalized to escape oppression will always be a good thing
@SomeEgrets this is fair!
though i know specific people who were actually very recently looking to see if this was even an option for them because of how things are going in the places around them
tl;dr - the process was...not great, and the petition would be granting that option to people like that outside of literally making your case in front of a court of people who may or may not be transphobic

I encourage any of my fellow Canadians on the Fediverse to sign this petition. Including, and especially if you currently live in the States. We have a relatively easy option if the US goes sideways, many of our siblings do not.
If you are not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, please boost but do not sign, thank you.
@SirTapTap there are instances that federate with mastosoc that have slower federated timelines (like awoo!)
...though it's also possible there are people who use regex filters to watch for certain topics on federated posts ^^'
@SirTapTap maybe they followed you from birdsite? (or maybe they saw it on the federated timeline?)
if you wanted to compare the two side by side, here is what i eventually released! https://soundcloud.com/archenoth/rainbow-resort
you can still kinda hear the piano above in the background!
i actually made this one first! before going for the more orchestral style the version i released ended up having
i still like the simple sound of just piano! it has kind of a charming quality in its simplicity, i feel ^^
