today’s issue is “if the scrollbar is on the left instead of the right (because of a right‐to‐left directionality) and the background of the element changes, safari won’t repaint the part of the element underneath where the scrollbar would have been on the right‐hand side”

a lot of safari’s painting operations assume a left‐to‐right top‐to‐bottom writing mode and simply fail to paint the correct part of the viewport if it isn’t that

gdi safari stop having bugs with writing modes check your dang software

@Satsuma hm i feel like an important caveat here is that the order of properties should be sensible, like

Margin: 0; Border: None; Padding: 0; Font-Family: Serif; Font-Style: Italic; Font-Weight: Bold

is fine but

Font-Family: Serif; Padding: 0; Font-Style: Italic; Border: None; Margin: 0; Font-Weight: Bold

is atrocious

i think the one‐property‐per‐line syntax encourages the latter, whereas putting it all on one line encourages people to order their properties like a sentence

@Satsuma does it? i find it much less readable

@monorail yeah practically speaking if i need to grab a short fragment of HTML i do it through the web inspector (which i do sometimes, if i’m like pulling a quote from a page and want to preserve the markup they used) and it’s not a problem

i’m usually only actually looking at the full HTML of pages when i’m doing development work on them, so this complaint can be mostly ignored lmao

@monorail i’m reading the HTML; i’d rather not read the CSS but there’s so much of it

this is a subtoot of

people {
who: write;
their: css;
like: this!important;
it: takes;
up: so;
much: space;
and: distracts;
from: the(content);
which: "i came";
to: see;
}

i showed up to read your webpage, not a thousand lines of CSS

today i learned that the Atom files i handwrote back in 2018 were wrong

my dream brain came up with the phrase “boths and bothers” which i now really feel like ought to mean something

THE NONDESIRING PROTAGONIST
THE FEMALE AGENT
SOCIAL EXPECTATIONS OF WOMEN
CLASS AND POWER
SUBCONSCIOUS V. INNER GODDESS
FIGHTING THE PATRIARCHY
CONSTANT ADVANCES: LIVING WITH
SEX V. DESIRE V. SEXUALITY
SEX AS A WEAPON

y’all i don’t think i’m gonna finish this boomer romance book

what if i… broke some URLs 😱

@monorail but anyway i am also annoyed by ash getting badges handed to him, i just think that the central theme of his arc is “passion + hard work > innate skill” and a core part of his character is that he isn’t smart but he never gives up

if he could just do things right the first time you’d have a very different anime
