THIS is how I FEEL about CSS

@roxmsauce 🤣
I will entreaty the nine divines on your behalf

@lopsigon haha now I'm thinking, "Wait, maybe I *could* solve this problem with nth-child" NO

Roxmsauce boosted

@roxmsauce uhh, hmm...

lol, be careful you don't get too deeply lost down the :nth-child and :nth-of-type selector holes. 😆

the first time I encountered those I think I made some complicated nested list styling?

😅

@lopsigon nth child can SUCK A DIIIIIIIIICK

Roxmsauce boosted

oh and there's no "first instance of x after y" selector either

CLASSES

INTENSIFY

no there is not a parent selector in css

so yeah guess I'll make some unintuitive stopgap classes that's fine

working on the css styling-text assessment on MDN, I finally learned enough to make a sort of real-looking webpage!

obvi I will be improving it by adding some bangin' fonts and eye-popping colors, this is going to be the webpage of St. Huxley's irresponsible art magnet school, not the boring, serious St. Huxley's Community College webpage

just humanely rehomed a spider! Sometimes I'll let them be, since I'm more okay with them than with the flying insects they catch, but this guy was gonna have a hard time finding mosquitoes in my closet.

- also good usr/pw copy/paste function where you don't have to open the edit window to get the pw (I always worry I'll accidentally screw something up even though it's never happened)
- if you make a new entry and try to close the db w/o saving it'll remind you to save before closing! so considerate, has saved my bacon a couple of times

@fobo I've been using KeePass (now KeePassXC) for years and have never had a problem, despite a) not being elite and b) going thru a shocking number of clean OS installs.

Reasons I like it:

- database stored locally
- but encrypted
- back up the encrypted database literally anywhere, thumb drive, install keepass on a computer, open database, enter master pw, you're golden
- search/tag/folder functions
- locks itself if you leave it open
- generate custom hella strong pws

Gonna try and buy a new computer today. In a store! Wish me luck, I am really pressed to get that done and feed fully functional again.

Good morning, earthlings. Beginning my 2nd TWO DAY weekend in row, & I feel almost human, almost hopeful that live could be “normal” whatever that means. Going to breakfast with an old internet friend from the Mac News Network days — 2002-2004 or so. The Lounge there was my online home for a few years & I still have real friends from there. The internet is weird, no? Ok, coffee.

The new place has a low air duct in the basement that @cwebber has already hit his head on multiple times. I made him some warning flags
