  • I can maybe see marking it as deleted in case someone wants to creat undelete functionality later. I don’t agree with it, but I can see why someone would do it.

    It’s just weird to still push it to the frontend.

    Same with the removed stuff. All of that should be handled on the backend and never even sent to the frontend. Sometimes the reason for deletion is something you don’t want getting grabbed by someone who is bored and poking around in developer tools, like doxxing information.

    Since I don’t have the time to do anything about it, though, I guess I don’t have a place to complain. I have strong feelings about this stuff, but there’s a limit to the number of things a single person can work on. If I were to hop on an open source project this minute, it would be helping migrate Cursorless to an LSP.



  • From what I can tell the whole point to the css class/formatting was controlling the size of the emojis. Depending on where they came from, I could see some being of random size and shape. Admins might not have the time or know-how to shrink them down, so css seems like a reasonable compromise as long as the files aren’t huge.

    I’m kind of bothered that the only fix seems to be on the frontend. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to stick with Rust long enough to take a reasonable crack at figuring out how to help on the backend. Input and output sanitization should ideally be handled in both places.




  • Child painted fingernails are the best. They tend to pick lots of colors!

    The best way I’ve found to manage other people’s pronouns is to use my own.

    “Hi! I’m tanglisha. My pronouns are she/her.”

    Practice until it sounds natural. Include your pronouns everywhere that makes sense, I have them in my work email signature and zoom account. The other person will usually reciprocate if you’re in person, even if they’ve never introduced themself that way before. A bonus is that it normalizes this as a way to present oneself. We shouldn’t put all of the burden of managing pronouns on the minority who already have a hard time with them.

    It’s true that this might draw some attention, but the worst I’ve ever gotten was someone asking me why I refer to my partner as “my partner” when he’s of opposite sex. YMMV based on where you are and the folks around you, I’m on the west coast but have coworkers all around the world.






  • I’ve been playing Starfinder and Shadowrun lately for RPGs,l. For board games, Terraforming Mars, 7 Wonders, and I’m absolutely terrible at Wingspan but it’s so pretty I don’t care

    One of my old Pathfinder groups is currently talking about converting to 2e. I got all the books with the Humble Bundle a few months ago and have been going through them a bit. One thing I like is that it’s a lot more different from Starfinder than 1e is, I have a hard time going back and forth on those two rulesets.
