I keep telling people that steam and its big picture interface are the buggiest parts of the steam deck. I have a whole collection of CSS themes that I need to make it feel good to use, but holy fuck decky just makes it unstable

yeah, just take any screenshot from any site / app / art and throw it into the LLM and ask for that

Wait wait... UPS login has a "remember me" for 2FA that vanishes as soon as the page loads, like JS. It applies "visibility: none !important" (or display). So each time you log in you have to 2FA.
Unless you disable that CSS and check the box.
I don't know why it's like this.

With CSS `@layer` and `@scope`, the specificity wars are over. Everyone can come out of their Shadow DOM bunkers now.

I was messing around with #writefreely and figured out how to add nsfw blur to images with css and javascript. Of course, I had to hack it into the templates. Here's how I did it! #infosec #selfhost #blog #coding

Attached: 1 image Seriously people, if you're going to put work into making your blog look beautiful you HAVE GOT to see what it looks like with large minimum font size (not zoom). At my default 20pt minimum font size this blog gives me roughly 4 words per line. I'm not going to read the damn article like this, no matter how good the words are. Yes, I can switch to "Reader View" but I shouldn't have to. #accessibility #LowVision

Nah I don't know how to do anything except really basic html/css stuff. I used a premade theme and just customized it to fit the comic a little better. And thank you!😭

Looks like CSS not applying correctly. You’re probably getting served A/B versions and one is broken or the assets for B with A or vice versa.
You can try clearing your cache, site data, and cookies in case they’re storing some kind of build ID, but ultimately not much you can do but wait it out.

The light-dark() CSS function and plain CSS make Dark Mode a breeze.
Slowly but surely, @telebugs.com is getting darker and darker. Still more work to do...

ofc if one happens to have the Sacramento font installed then it looks pretty darn close 🤷♂️ and if not, the CSS will just call up whatever's considered a cursive font by whatever device is loading the page, and that's close ENOUGH, i figure. it's fine. it'll have to be fine!!!

Yeah that would be nicer than having to repeat your conditions in CSS and risk them getting out of sync.

Yeah I'm presuming you'd use a `display: none` or similar in CSS to hide it from a11y tree/AT in those cases.
I'm kinda annoyed that hiding it with CSS doesn't prevent `loading=lazy` from loading it as well, since it waits for layout and knows it's not needed, but I confirmed it doesn't 😔

Huh. And this other guy (assume a techy?), who assumes everyone knows HTML/CSS/JS because *he* does...
so there's an extract from a guy in the Observer today which is "how I, an author in my 50s, became fascinated by coding" which contains stuff like "I learned there was a classic trio of languages behind most websites"
this guy, who is just discovering HTML/CSS/JS? also author of this

I just went to my silly, fanspace teaching myself CSS website and changed it to Calibri, because fuck that guy. (it was already Verdana, I'm not a monster).
In other news, the whole thing about Calibri v. TNR isn't about a font face, it's about the fact that Calibri is easier for people with some disabilities to read.
They think any accommodation, however painless, should stop.
