i honestly don't know

i feel like it's not …"chalky" enough? but it could be, because it does have that richness

i'm firmly of the belief that it's designed to be on the left

if you use a calculator with your left hand, A) your thumb (strongest digit) rests on = (most used button), and B) you can write with your right hand

then some wacko put it on the right of the keyboard, so enter is on your little finger and the mouse is miles away[^1] and now we have to live with the consequences

[^1]: yes i realise mouses weren't around when this layout was designed

in about:config, try removing the pertinent domains from extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains

i've never done this though, so caveat executor

holy hell this is massive

thank you for your work db0

commiserations, and kudos for doing all you've done so far to try to keep it running

ah. now. this is an interesting conversation

generally i try my best with accessibility; but recently i have been slacking with alt text in this lemmysphere[^1] specifically. my thinking is that this i visual-focussed art appreciation 'sphere, so the vast minority (i hesitate to speak in absolutes, but i could say none) of the subscribers will be blind or even partially sighted

i am fully in favour of transcriptions of text screenshots and images with semantic meaning, but this is solely an æsthetic piece?

do you, or does anyone affected by this, have any opinions on whether this is worth it here?

(very atmospheric transcription though)

edit: more questions:

1. why do you have multiple 'spheres (!mmtranscriptarchive@lemmy.world, !kebtranscriparchive@lemmy.blahaj.zone) rather than one centralised one? - especially as lemmy doesn't support instance agnostic post links, and your links are therefore inconsistent and off-instance

2. how did you find this post? do you just browse by new?

3. to anyone who uses a screen reader - is there any advantage to a separate transcription if there is one in the alt text?

[^1]: and the other f.n.i.c. 'spheres

post urls seem to be completely randomly uncorrelated - https://lemm.ee/post/1 is unrelated to https://lemmy.world/post/1

but yes, there should be some way to easily redirect - i believe that is what #2987 is supposed to solve

i don't think old urls would have to be repaired, they could just be treated as a shortlink/server-side redirect

for example, reddit supports https://www.reddit.com/r/androidthemes/comments/uvy0nx/contest_macintosh_rejuvenated/ and https://redd.it/uvy0nx - the latter just redirects to the former

i don't believe it can be deletion, i'm guessing they never existed - i imagine it's some sort of batch assignment to avoid url collisions due to server lag

but that's all beyond me, so this is just conjecture

by the way, do you just open lemmy.world/post/[some round number] and increment until you find a post that exists?

i must say, i don't understand lemmy's url system

i can't believe 37 sequential posts were deleted? also, on it's only the ~360'000^th^ post on lemm.ee? and it should be roughly equal i would have thought?

i wish they used a sensible and legible url scheme like reddit (amongst other issues i have with lemmy urls)

honestly, i think both of these rather seem like non-issues?

free hosting is not immune to hugs of death

neither is self-hosting; if anything, less so

deploy times are increased

yes, a 3min -> 15min deploy time is a surprising difference; but also 15 minutes is not that long. especially as that's because it's building the Jekyll site. if you include the local build time as well as upload time, i don't imagine it'd be that much shorter

maybe if you're trading stocks, but for small personal sites? it doesn't sound too bad

jerboa supports it! press the little exclamation mark in a diamond (it's a triangle on desktop for anyone wondering)
