I'm a Vietnamese cis woman born and currently living in the U.S. You may know me from Sandwich, from Twitter or Mastodon (same username), or on Twitch as Sharkaeopteryx. I do not have a Discord or Bluesky account.
Ask me about language learning/teaching, cooking/eating food, late diagnosis ADHD, and volunteer small business mentoring. Or don't, I'm not the boss of you.
I think people deserve to be young, make mistakes, and grow without being held to standards they don't know about yet and are still learning. So, if you are under 22, please don't try to strike up a friendship or get involved in discussions on my posts.
Please don't automatically assume I follow/know/co-sign someone just because I reposted something from them—sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Also, if you think being removed as a follower when we're not mutuals is a cardinal sin, please do not follow me.
Since I know a lot of people have felt that they'll miss the "being able to link (in a way that ppl know about) another post" when leaving cohost.
Well, turns out Webmention kind of fits the bill at least on paper. I have 0 experience about actually using it but it's out there and has been for a while
If it helps, I set up a lot of the Indie Web stuff back in March and wrote about the experience on my blog. https://john.colagioia.net/blog/tag/indieweb/
I run Jekyll (a static-site generator), so people with servers might have an easier time. But the bare-minimum upshot for sending is (1) put up a page with the mention, and (2) send a message to the Webmention link on the page you're referencing. Receiving is a matter of having (or using) a server, and picking them out.
do you intentionally disable the ability to select text on your blog, or is that a bug? I tend to highlight text a lot as I read it, to keep my place, and so it being disabled makes somewhat hard to read for me
It's not disabled, as far as I can tell. I do style the selected text in colors that match the blog, but I don't know how that'd affect anything. To me, it reverses the background/text colors in dark- and light-modes.
Stupid debugging questions, since I don't see that behavior on Firefox or Chromium: What browser(s)? Any plugins that affect selections? If you assume that selection works and you copy the (alleged) selection, can you paste it elsewhere? Are you technical enough to pop open the developer tools and deactivate the (two) styles in the ::selection rule, and if so, does anything change?
Regardless, I apologize for the inconvenience. I poke at text as I read, too, so it's not behavior that I want, either.
This is on Firefox 115.15.0esr. The problem seems to be light-dark(), which is only supported by 120 and above.
Ah. I'll have to do some research to see if there's any way around that. It seemed far enough back that support should have made its way out, but since Jekyll compiles the CSS from SASS, I don't have many options for a dark mode other than rewriting it all as plain CSS.
Until I get there (or the ESR bumps up), I apologize again for not catching that oversight.
Thanks for looking into this.
For what it's worth, Debian will likely switch to the 128 ESR branch early next month, and I think 128 ESR branch is currently being offered to most users too as of this month. That leaves only Windows 8.1 and older and MacOS 10.14 and older with 115 ESR, which is the last version of Firefox for those platforms.
Oh, no, thank you for the heads-up and doing the initial research. I just want people to be able to use the page...
