burgeonlab [jeremycherfas]: awesome! oh the first-child and first-of CSS rules are cool!
_justin_kelly4 and gordinator joined the channel
# [jeremycherfas] Foir some reason, first-child did not work, but first-of-kind did and I was so happy I didn’t really investigate further.

# kimbaclone thanks, i kinda interested in old websites from the 90s and early 2000s, mostly a old kimba fan website that i pretty is still active (as in, the domain is still up, but the website is not)
# kimbaclone i did forget the name right now thought...
# kimbaclone [edit] thanks, i kinda interested in old websites from the 90s and early 2000s, mostly a old kimba fan website that i pretty sure is still active (as in, the domain is still up, but the website is not)

# citizenAlex my first reaction to MelonLand was "Whoo! That's a lot!" But I stuck with it and I'm settling into it and finding my way around and coming to dig the vibe.
# thamara_k kimbaclone[d] welcome! There is also https://personalsit.es/
# kimbaclone thanks themarakandabada

# [mikemai2awesom] i resonate with this. i use dashes properly. i hate that em dash is associated with AI. https://jorisvandijk.com/posts/em-dash/

[Sophia_wood] joined the channel
# [Sophia_wood] I think of 418 haiku there have got to be at least 300 em dashes - I also find myself pausing to remove them and shouldn't.
# turalyon I hate the fact that AI got us scared of using em dashes just because people would flag our text as Ai-generated
# turalyon so damn stupid
# [mikemai2awesom] also, elegant serif are now considered claude slop. ugh!
[Sophia_wood] joined the channel
# turalyon Playfair display 💀
# [mikemai2awesom] i freaking love that font. the ligatures are so pretty
gordinator, CRISPR and turalyon joined the channel
# turalyon AI slop was precisely what made me look into the indie web
# [capjamesg] You’re most welcome here!
# turalyon I recently revamped my website to drop all that “professional” look and bullshit. at this point thinking that during this slop apocalypse and the google shitshow my website is gonna bring me client is just wishful thinking
# turalyon I would rather have fun and have it represent my identity and interests
# turalyon [capjamesg]: Ty, I appreciate, I have had more meaningful interactions in 2 weeks with indie-web folk than in 10 years with LinkedIn ghouls. so refreshing
# [capjamesg] Yeah, I feel like I can talk about life and the web in the indie web without having to perform.
# turalyon we can perform 24/5 while working on our dreadful jobs xD
# turalyon everyday I spend working in tech is a day I want to change careers. I think there’s a thin line between liking playing with tech in a relaxed/fun way (as a hobby) and working in the industry.
# turalyon Most people (me) gets confused and end up here

# tellroboxer So I want to make a 90's style text based blog and with ascii images but with modern CSS and HTML and JavaScript
# [mikemai2awesom] do it! i've been using this pixel font for old timey computer style stuff. https://fonts.google.com/specimen/VT323?preview.script=Latn
turalyon and cotsuka joined the channel
# tellroboxer [mikemai2awesom]: This is how the landing page looks like it uses sans font
# tellroboxer I kind of want some way to make creating blog posts less tedious and not having to create new HTML files every time I want to post updates
# tellroboxer [edit] I kind of want some way to make creating blog posts less tedious and not having to create new HTML files manually every time I want to post updates
# [mikemai2awesom] love it!
# [mikemai2awesom] i use jekyll for my blog. each post is markdown
# tellroboxer [mikemai2awesom]: I am thinking of using it to document the process of analysing malware
# tellroboxer my speciality is malicious scripts such as malicious JavaScript and powershell
# tellroboxer of course
# 
gRegor Silkscreen is another good pixel font: https://kottke.org/plus/type/silkscreen/

Zegnat KreativeKorp has some really fun pixel fonts. With some really fun extended character sets too. Fairfax can do Cirth and Klingon amongst other things. https://www.kreativekorp.com/software/fonts/fairfax/

[tantek] also lol at "LinkedIn ghouls" — had never heard it categorized that way. Are there blog posts about the phenomenon you are talking about? I mean I feel I have witnessed it myself, I just don't remember if anyone has taken to their blog to roast the "LinkedIn" corporate-speak method of writing. Would be great to cite something like that as criticism on our /LinkedIn wiki page
# jorisvandijk [mikemai2awesom]: Glad you liked it 🙂
