How does reader mode work? by charonn0 in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

[-] charonn0@startrek.website 26 points 22 hours ago

A web page is a combination of a structured document and a separate stylesheet. The same structured document can be styled in radically different ways just by changing the stylesheet. This is how a website can offer different skins, light/dark mode, etc.

Consider this basic HTML document:

<html>
   <head><title>Test Page</title></head>
   <body>
      <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
      <ul>
         <li>This is an unordered bullet-point list item</li>
         <li>This is also a list item</li>
      </ul>
   </body>
</html>

And here's a stylesheet to make the bullet points square:

ul {
  list-style-type: square;
}

Change the stylesheet and you change how the document is rendered. "Reader mode" is just a minimalist stylesheet built into the browser.

PSA Huggingface is scraping GitHub by charonn0 in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev

A number of my repos are listed.

But the weird part is that it also lists a repo I don't recognize. The repo does actually exist on my github account, but it's marked as "ignored", and the description says it was automatically exported from Google Code. The code seems to be a MacOS shareware file encryption tool called "BitClamp", published circa 2008.

No idea how it got on my account.

Favorite Trek episode that's not in the usual top 57 lists? by charonn0 in c/startrek@startrek.website

[-] charonn0@startrek.website 6 points 5 days ago

I like TOS Operation: Annihilate! because it presents a situation where a starship captain would be justified in issuing General Order 24. I'm disappointed that they didn't actually mention GO24 in the episode, but my headcanon is that the crew were all reluctant to mention it by name.

I think GO24 is deeply misunderstood. It's only ever been presented as a thing that a bad, crazy captain would order; as grounds for mutiny. So why would Starfleet even have such an order on the books? I think it's actually designed for situations like the one in this episode: to prevent the spread of dangerous life forms.

This interpretation also enhances my enjoyment of another TOS episode, A Taste of Armageddon. In this episode, Kirk actually invokes General Order 24. Scotty understands that Kirk needs leverage to bluff with, and plays along. Bluffing the bad guys by citing a public health ordinance is classic Kirk. See also Corbomite and Fizzbin

I say lean into it. Praise Jesus so loudly and obnoxiously that the preacher themselves asks you to tone it down a notch.

Kentucky Gov Orders McConnell to Give a Real Update or Resign Already by charonn0 in c/politics@lemmy.world

Kentucky Gov Orders McConnell to Give a Real Update or Resign Already by charonn0 in c/politics@lemmy.world

[-] charonn0@startrek.website 2 points 5 days ago

Sure. Whether or not its constitutional, etc. is really beside the point. Any official challenge to the governor's declaration would necessarily involve demonstrating that McConnell is alive and well (or not). In either outcome, the question of the governor's authority would be moot.

The ego required for someone to come to this conclusion in the first place, and then double down on it when pressed, is genuinely astounding by charonn0 in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

Don't stress over labels. They don't fit anyone perfectly.

Roadside assistance services? (startrek.website)

submitted 1 week ago by charonn0@startrek.website to c/bicycle_touring@lemmy.world

I don't like fixing my own flat tires. I can do it but not quickly or efficiently; it's not something I can do on the side of the road under duress. I should probably work on that, I know, but in the meantime I take my bike to a local shop and have them do it for me.

But my ebike is pretty heavy, which means a flat tire is basically immobilizing. I've had to call a friend or hire a truck when I get a flat. I'm wondering if there's anything like an auto club for cyclists. Maybe even a service that would fix my flat right there on the spot.

I googled, but don't trust the search results. Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions?

I cleaned out the junk drawer and found a bunch of Starbucks gift cards that I've received for various reasons over the past 15 years. I used one from 2015 today and the barista was mildly surprised and asked where I got such an old-style card. So I told him about the junk drawer.
