I’ve spent the entire morning going thru tubs that have been stored in the garage for 7-8 yrs or so, & apparently, I can fit my butt into some rly old jeans again! Not these, mind you, but I’ll be damned if I’m giving them away BC YOU NEVER KNOW, RIGHT? 🤣

& Ralph Lauren/Polo doesn’t make Saturday jeans any more & they’re my all-time fave jeans for running around in sneakers. (They’re too short for heels, but srsly, how often do I wear heels these days?)

I love raggedy old jeans. 🥰

Whenever we moved (and as a military family, we moved a lot), my mom would put the date on all the boxes.

If she hadn’t opened the box within a year or by the next move (which was sometimes *less* than a year :( ), she’d just throw the box away without looking in it.

“I haven’t needed whatever is in there for a year. I’m not likely to need it ever again.”

🤣

Got a bug report on emoji-picker-element that it's super slow if you have ~20k custom emoji (some fediverse instances… 😵‍💫). I was about to write some complex virtualization logic until I remembered that `content-visibility` exists: web.dev/articles/content-visib…

~15% perf boost in Chrome, ~5% in Firefox, Safari has it in Tech Preview I guess. And no accessibility pitfalls or complicated code to maintain. Not as good as virtualization, but amazing what a few lines of CSS can do. github.com/nolanlawson/emoji-p…

mastodon - Link to source

@anthony That's interesting; I'll toy around with that!

What prompted this was noticing a huge amount of time Chromium is spending in "ResourceFetcher::requestResource" (visible if you turn on "show all events"). I had a hunch that this was related to the `<img>`s, so I removed the `src` and suddenly all the costs went away. I'll need to dig to see if it's `loading=lazy`-related…

As for IntersectionObserver, yes, I messed around with that too. It's definitely the better cross-browser choice.

in reply to Nolan Lawson

@anthony Hm, `loading=lazy` doesn't affect those `ResourceFetcher` costs… Still might make sense to get rid of, though, if I'm effectively doing my own lazy-loading.

Fascist government claiming being Mussolini’s heirs. Who could have predict that? 🤷

Here’s my Caturday contribution. I just love that look of love in his eyes. #Cats #OrangeCats #CatsOfMastodon



"#Gaetz may soon face doc dump in fed court ..abt alleged sex parties tied to accusations Gaetz had sex w underage teen.

..expected to incl sworn testimony from ppl involved in alleged sex parties...

Fed judge will decide whether accts of several key witnesses should be made pub by Sept. 19, incl “declaration” from Gaetz’s ex-gf that source described as “candid,” as well as never-before-seen deposition of woman who claims was sex-trafficked when she was 17" #GaetzGate notus.org/congress/never-befor…

in reply to Laffy

I adore that this has come about due to a tort claim by one of Gaetz' fellow jerkwads. A claim asserting a conspiracy, even! Fuck around and find out, indeed, right alongside the 'it's not MY fault that my career dissolved like the memory of an alcohol-infused haze .'

I have a suspicion that Dorworth's not going to get too many more invitations to Gaetz' famous parties.

this is very important.

"It is very easy to get ChatGPT to emit a series of words such as “I am happy to see you.” There are many things we don’t understand about how large language models work, but one thing we can be sure of is that ChatGPT is not happy to see you."

"The task that generative A.I. has been most successful at is lowering our expectations, both of the things we read and of ourselves when we write anything for others to read. It is a fundamentally dehumanizing technology because it treats us as less than what we are: creators and apprehenders of meaning. It reduces the amount of intention in the world."

One of the bright perks of sitting exclusively on a Linux system(desktop, laptop) is that it will always, no matter what, keep you on your toes with its miscreant.

Sometimes, it really gets into me....wish I could throw it away...but I can't :(
