“what were the skies like when you were young?”
Oh man #monsterdon is watching Night of the Comet? One of my stupid favorite movies
@beka_valentine (adjusts gear-rimmed goggles) Steampunks! In! Space!
yaaaas, bring back 88x31 buttons
@darius ooh, for some reason I had that filed away as "a Deno thing" but it appears I was mistaken 👀
I'm working on a link sharing thing that's very, very far away from being useful. And I'm hoping that my unreliable focus & executive function will let me stick with it until it does start to become useful.
But, for now, I'm rather happy with having used these emoji for the logo.
If you're curious about my plans for Pebbling Club, I've managed to brain-vomit all over a GitHub Project in hopes of organizing my work
@earth2marsh @soypunk Yeah, I picture kind of a del.icio.us / pinboard thing lashed to an inbox reader that accepts links from RSS feeds, mastodon timelines, etc.
I've always kind of wanted an all-in-one thing to receive and share interesting web stuff and be searchable later. Being a human web relay used to be a fun hobby for me

"The tech industry was never perfect. It never lived up to its lofty ambitions. But it has gotten demonstrably worse.

Huh, looks like Raindrop parses & rewrites URLs in bookmarks to normalize them in storage? That was fun to figure out and makes me a lil grumpy.
Like, trailing slashes in paths removed and URL query params alphabetized? That smells like trouble, whenever user input is modified like that on the way to storage. Things break mysteriously and subtly
