A lot of severe weather happening in my vicinity, some of it tornadic; some of it "PDS" storms, so I'll have to close down and take a pass on both #HashtagGames and #Monsterdon tonight, alas.

Meteorologist says "PDS" stands for "Particularly Dangerous Situation" but I'd call it more intuitively "Pretty Damn Severe". See U later, Fediverse.

SERIFS


All I want is to use serif fonts. BUT NOOOOOO. It breaks this and other sites.

ANY SUGGESTIONS ON SERIF FONTS THAT DON'T SCREW UP "designer's choices?"

Pic very much related. One is "normal" the other is with a serif font style forced onto Friendica via "stylus". Because forcing it is the only way apparently.

@Cee75

You will find that there is a Help selection in the Main Context menu. It has a section that describes BBcode. This of course only effects posts. If you want to change the way the Friendica interface looks then you can look into Settings -> Display -> Themes and Settings -> Display -> Theme customization. There is no reason to try to force anything. Please just refer to the Help Menu.

If you find a Theme for Friendica that you like and I do not have it installed then let me know and I can install it for you. I have all the standard themes and an extra one called Bookface that I set as the default, though you can change that.

@unusnemo I found one in here that looks plain and simple: paper.

git.friendi.ca/friendica/theme…

I imagine it is probably out of date though.

@Cee75

I looked into it and installed some of those community themes. Unfortunately they are very old and unmaintained. They do not support a lot of the new interfaces on Friendica. It would take a major amount of work to get them up to date which is something I do not have time to do at the moment.

If you want to work on one and get it up to date I would be happy to install it. For right now I am concerned that if I install one it will confuse some of the members if they try to use them and it just makes a mess out of their interface that is not very usable.

@Cee75

If you are just looking for a few tweaks to Frio or Vier then you could follow the instructions on the Friendica Theme site to modify theme and I could add it as a scheme to them or revision.

It is a lot of work building and modifying themes and some people love it and spend a lot of time working on such. I spend more time on functionality and leave theme implementation to those UI/ UX so called experts in most cases πŸ˜‰. I will eventually work on a theme for RogueProject though that is a very low priority with so many other more important things (such as debugging the friendica code base) to get done.

Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I got some money cuz I just got paid
And I'm at the bar putting lime in a coconut
Oh me oh my now I wish I was daid.

I was looking for posts from @45 Name an Hour but it's likely they got buried under the firehose of the Fediverse. The reason I wanted to run across it because I've got a suggestion for another nickname for Mr. #TACO : The Carrot Caligula.

Why do you call it rubbish? They may come from a different perspective, but there is value in that alone!

Consistency is the hob-nobbling of little minds!

@Tom Grzybow
What you call "perspective", I call opinionated SLANT. It's BIAS. I'll go further to say it's biased on idealogically tinted glasses. It's a big fat #FAIL.

That's a good one!

I have Combover Caligula on the @45names list (which last posted a month ago):

And I'm gonna add Carrot Caligula. Thank you!

@Tom Grzybow
Cases in point: "Four In The Morning" (Faron Young) and If I just say "Tucson" I'll have to narrow that down to the one Mel Tillis sang. There are so very many examples.

"No one wants to go down to Tucson in the summer, so that's why the boss chose me" is how the Mel Tillis song starts out.








The current regime is an embarrassment to this country. You might think that the Russians mocking our "leaders" is just a stunt, but this shit affects their attitude on the world stage!

Come on and tell me what you told my friends if you think you're brave enough
And I'll show you what a real woman is since you think you're hot stuff

You'll bite off more than you can chew if you get too cute or witty
You better move your feet if you don't wanna eat a meal that's called Fist City

If you don't wanna go to Fist City, you better detour around my town
'Cause I'll grab you by the hair of the head and I'll lift you off of the ground

I'm not sayin' my baby's a saint 'cause he ain't
Or that he won't cat around with a kitty
I'm here to tell you, gal, you lay offa my man if you don't wanna go to Fist City

Oh it was midnight on the sea
The band was playin' Near My God To Thee
Fare thee well, Titanic, fare thee well.

Well they wouldn't let Jack Johnson on board
They said this ship don't haul no coal
Fare thee well, Titanic, fare thee well.

Matt Yglesias, Ro Khanna and the Abundance Boys better start hitting the books so they can figure out how holding billionaires accountable for blatant crimes is bad, actually.

Looking like a million-dollar trooper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper--Super duper!
When you're blue
And you don't know
Where to go to
Go where the fashion sits--
Puttin' on the Ritz.

Come let’s mix
Where Rockefellers
Walk with sticks
And um-ber-ellas in their mitts--
Puttin’ on the Ritz.

Are there really still people who don't believe that working for Donald Trump will end badly for them?


We always knew President Trump and Elon Musk would break up at some point, but we didn't expect it to be this messy. pcmag.com/news/musk-trump-brea…
