Neocities

They gave me a win11 laptop at work, to which i'm installing my website repos right now, and... gosh! What a piece of shit! "Half of the software breaks" aside, only like 2% of the new UI choices are good. Permanent and wide scrollbars are under *accessibility* and *registry* now, this is ASININE

i'm glad i could debloat the thing and there are options to unround most edges, return an actual context menu, etc, but that doesn't have to be a set of hacky addons. that has to be default fucking settings. i'm beyound angry! And from an artistic point of view..flat tone minimalism is a *tough style*, you can and will shoot yourself in the leg with it if you've no experience or common sense. And they sure did shoot

aw man i thought windows 11 was good

@dietglory it has huge problems with pre-11 software -- i/my friends consistently get small bugs in about 40% of programs that we use. The UI got a fair bit of improvements that were power toys in win10, but it has SO much bloat bundled and SO many shitty design choices it's not even funny. Not even talking about mikes spying on you better and better with each version...

The consensus on hackernews is that Win11 only exists to squeeze money out of people loyal to the windows brand. MS is haemorrhaging money from all their acquisitions and the only way they can make any more is from analytics.

not entirely happy with the commissions page design so far but i'll polish it up later. Also, clean your cache or force-refresh (shift+refresh button click) a couple times if you visit my place! Apparently, my site really likes keeping its old stuff at your side and not bothering to see if it changed

, which was confronted with a respective meta tag just now. But it only exists on the *new* page, which is not loaded because the *cached* one is favoured... see the paradox? Anyways, do force-refresh

Also added keyboard link navigation! Now you can navigate the website entirely with arrow keys and enter. At least *for me* it works... hope it improves someone's day or something

made figure html coherent and same across the website, fixed the styles that got obliterated by that, made the calm mode background color a bit lighter. All because one stupid button on the index page didn't work :D

fixed all the pages' semantics. header -> h1 everywhere, because apparently the good tone is sections should have headINGS, and a headER is one for the entire page.

No calm stylesheet yet, hence the absence from the sitemap. But yeah, the kandi museum is sorta back! It's running my freshly updated MyArtGallery package for quick-n-easy management. You should try it, too - it's like deviant art but yours and better https://github.com/kouyouelysian/myartgallery

ok nvm i completely obliterated it and it now works ONLY in calm mode. But that's experimenting for ya...

Aaaand the new domain is go! New index is now the site index, too. The new site requires more polishing, but it's SOMEWHAT working now. Oh, and this is the logic sim i've been blabbering about. 'W' to draw a wire - but it's still buggy as hell!

I should probably make a new "auberylis.moe" button...

Hey, I want to ask you if there is a tutorial you recommend on how to do that tree view list like you did with the retro icons, and littles dots. I want something like it for a lateral bar because it matches my music collection structure.

Start Using Semantic HTML!!! It saves you time AND increases both compatibility and accessibility. [div id="mainWrapper"][div class="para"][/div][/div] is 10x worse than [main][article][/article][main] in all respects possible, primarily to you the webmxter - markup readability and coding speed.

( standard angled brackets are autowiped in comments, so they're replaced with [square brackets] here)

astrossoundhell 7 months ago

Really though. I've been 10x happier since my markup stopped ending in /div /div /div /div /div and instead ends with /p /content /section /article /main

Having a 4gb 2011 macbook as my main machine really helped me learn optimizing pages. Firefox starts being framedroppy and slow on pages that are not well-optimized, and boy do i see a lot of them around :D Use png8 compression, learn how to minimize asset sizes, abolish iframes, learn JS and don't use bloat that executes every 20 milliseconds for what is CSS's job. It helps computers breathe a bit easier!

which is not to say "don't make overloaded maximalist insanity", most certainly do, my site is that. Just.. don't use a 1000x2000 png if at the end it's downsized to 150x300 div background on-screen. Downscale it in a graphic editor and re-render in PNG8. Stuff like that.

Heya! Just passing by - if i may give a hint. If you're not planning to, for some reason, host the entirety of sadgirl.online at your website in a folder called "sadgrl", the links in your navbar need the protocol (https://) and top level domain (.online). Adding those will make the links work ^w^

"/sadgirl.online" in is short for "https://delunar.neocities.org/sadgirl.online" because of the first slash. "https://sadgirl.online" is an actual link to that website

yaaay the about is up! both old and totally new. available by default in calm mode, obviously. Decided to make the thing less "everything dumped into the bio", and so, will probably shorten the bio soon enough. but the layout and graphix are done!

renovation start. there will be some crap popping up in your feed from now on until late May or so - nothing's final, and basically check my website's index.html for directions on how to access a wayback clone of this place that Actuall Works. Thanx!
