  • If you’re knowledgable about CSS you could use the Stylish extension to customize websites, but given frutiger aero’s aesthetic, you’d probably have to add a bunch of images for ui elements, so I wouldn’t neccisarily expect it to be easy

    Short of customizing stuff yourself, I think thats a really niche styling to be looking for, for already niche platforms. If you wanna check for other people’s CSS creations you can go to the userstyles.world site, or the older and I think now defunct userstyles.org, and search for mastodon, or any other sites you wanna check out themes for. There may not be many, customizing your websites with CSS stylesheets isn’t exactly a huge hobby, so the most themes are available for sites everyone uses (YouTube, Wikipedia, google, etc.). Any themes there you find could be used with the stylish extension, though it may require some extra work from the older site

    As someone else who enjoys the y2k retro aesthetic, I hope you find something you enjoy :)


  • Love seeing this acknowledged. So many of the societal harms we trace back to men and then we fail to engage with why men end up that way.

    We do men and boys an enormous disservice by essentially raising them to be emotionally stunted and interpersonally dysfunctional. And then they grow up and they subject more boys to the abuse that was normalized to them- because hurt people inflict more hurt on others.

    But if you say the word “patriarchy”, men who are deeply hurting under said patriarchy will disengage and treat the idea as a threat to be defeated because they, like everyone else, are a product of their socialization, and their socialization teaches them that of they fail to measure up to the rubric of masculinity, they are a failure, and that masculinity is the ideal. Questioning that is a non-option.

    If you wanna address those societal harms you have to start by raising generations of healthier boys and men, and protecting them from the abuse that is the normal response when those men and boys try to learn how to engage with their emotions.

    Shit makes me sad. And instead of engaging with men’s issues in addition to women’s, our government decides we should just stop engaging with women’s issues, because this admin is patriarchy incarnate. No questioning the status quo.






  • It’s still a little slow for me on android but I prefer it in spite of that. I prefer the interface over anything else I’ve tried. I wouldn’t mind jerboa if I could get full size link previews that look just like image posts, but I think that’s still not an option.

    I thought I was getting a bug with thunder but somehow it was actually a bug with my account- I’m grateful to have finally figured out how to see up and down votes again 😅



  • Whether it’s good or bad is not determined by the fact that it’s corporate money, but how that money impacts development, the devil’s in the details, not just in a company donating lots of money.

    Open source in general is very dependent on corporate sponsors. The linux kernel wouldn’t exist had companies not invested in it.

    I’m not knowledgeable enough to assess the potential pitfalls here, so I will be cautious but not paranoid, and continue to pay attention to discussions on how FOSS projects are run 🤷‍♂️


  • I’m just learning about owncast, is there any way to login or subscribe to people so I can come back to their streams at a later time?

    The set name dialog says I can authenticate with a fediverse account via the authenticate dialog, but that doesn’t seem to work, at least not with my lemmy account…

    But if I succesfully authenticated there’s no indication that would let me “subscribe” to a given channel or something though, and that’s really what I want
