when was the last time you opened a web browser to look for something specific, and what was it?

bonus round: and it wasn't for work or to buy a product

patterfloof, to random

were web pages easier to build in the late 90s? before frameworks, when there was just you, notepad & the code (or the netscape page editor)

before js was what it is now, and every ISP would just give you a little FTP directory to put your site in

each site distinct & home-made. sure we had geocities, but that was another host, not a whole cookie-cutter site engine

Apparently BS has discovered federation today. They don't know what it is yet & they're scared.

just gone from watching a coffee-tuber & his meticulous directions to my regular rough moka pot brew. measured beans, water eyeballed to about the valve & full power until it sputters mmm

I need to slap one of our managers with a dictionary. If we need to spread some information around, apparently we need to "socialise that information". What, it needs to seize the means of production, or become accustomed to living among people? It is not a worker or a cat.

Now I've got 2 pairs of jeans with odd paint stains & wallpaper paste markings, I really should buy some overalls

The fun of decorating when you don't have ratty old clothes

patterfloof, to random

Though found out why mum has a bee in her bonnet about bright decoration - their whole house is white with accents (except for the kitchen)

shitehawk eero amazon wifi mesh routers. Damn things should not need an app, they're a box you set up once - just use a fucking webpage like every other router ever

powered up my abandoned Windows 7 box for a laugh & it refuses to update to any more modern version with assorted software errors & doesn't recognise the Win 11 installer as a win32 app

might flash ubuntu or nix onto it. thing's about a decade old, all mini-itx onboard everything & not upgradable

patterfloof, to random

that's amusing. my roku can either cope with DS9 marathons, or reboots the device & TV after a single episode of retsuko

A working wireless router & ISP provided e-waste. Can you tell which is which?

patterfloof, to random

youtube got me watching something about how a certain type of power saw is very dangerous. after a while I noticed the appropriate channel name "stumpy nubs"

it's OK, the presenter still has all his limbs

patterfloof, to random

it'd be great if you could CW part of a toot

[whole paragrahphs of safe text]

[brief sentence of CW]

[the CW'd bit]

although our social media sites save everything, they're also very ephemeral. try and use their UI to find that interesting post you saw yesterday or last week & your SOL

playing Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic, resisting the urge (for now) to call my steel mill town "Steelingrad"

patterfloof, to random

watching the classic I CLAVDIVS & there's something very likable in the old style its made. Its from 1976 and its full of these long duration, almost theatre-like shots.

there's detail & emotion without the wide outdoor CGI shots of Imperial Rome that you'd see on a modern series

patterfloof, to random

down to the last couple slices of christmas cake from mum, should grab a recipe & make some more 'cos its tasty

patterfloof, to random

oh FFS WTF does work's security theatre include such domain-controlled suckery as "edge cannot remember logins" ?

every fucking time I try to do something here "computer says no" or security getting in the way like some little fucking GRU man

patterfloof, to random

Looking in the fridge & being an adult is too much going to the shops, gradually eating everything, then having to go again next week just for stupid food to keep your silly body alive

patterfloof, to random

great, new internet router uses LLM & channel hopping to avoid interference from neighbours. supposedly it works, but will probably confuse my pi nfs server & still be worse than loading a wifi scanner, picking an open channel & nailing the router to it

patterfloof, to random

It's there a word for trying predictive text 3 times on a word, then giving up & typing each letter manually 'cos your phone won't get the right word?

patterfloof, to random

in a discord server for a game, there's a channel called "your art"

has a look, it's all AI. Nobody made these

patterfloof, (edited ) to random

Is there a furry site for: I have this commission idea, there's refs & I can give a very rough (I am not an artist) layout sketch of idea, who's willing to draw it?

patterfloof, to random

House across the street has started hanging a set of overalls in the living room, so whenever I glance across while closing the upstairs curtains, it's like there's a guy just hanging there

Bussing through Monton & damn, that's a lot of pubs
