1·11 months agoThere is nothing at all being copied but an aesthetic.
Although to me it is interesting that, even without literal copying, a generator might be capable of potentially emulating some key features of a specified source. Can this sometimes arguably extend beyond just “an aesthetic”? We’ve all seen examples similar to this one (from the SD online demo, default setting, with a familiar public-domain source) — https://i.imgur.com/PUJs3RL.png

Apparently, the error condition might NOT be dependent on idle time (a period of time without any interaction). — Evidence: Periodic clicks on a vote button, scripted at 45-second intervals, did not prevent the error’s eventual occurrence.
171·11 months agoAlthough they differ from Twitter Likes, note that Mastodon Favorites are not private. For an example, I’ll refer to one of your toots:
https://mastodon.social/@justhach/110696151311920356Viewing it in the Mastodon web interface, I see an indication that 2 people marked it as a Favorite. I can then click to see those 2 usernames, listed here:
https://mastodon.social/@justhach/110696151311920356/favouritesSuch listings are limited though. For example, I’m viewing a toot that you boosted, and I see an indication that it has been marked as a Favorite by 816 users; but when I click to view their names, I see only 40 of them listed.

Arguably reddit isn’t even mainstream …
… with just 0.91% of US social media visits
this yearin March this year, if this isn’t wrong:

1·1 year agoThanks for a reminder that I should look into userscripts for kbin. — For now, I’m using the Stylus extension (in desktop Firefox & Chrome) to apply custom CSS. Nothing fancy yet, just simple overrides to remove some margins and padding to make the “compact” view more compact.
… for years and nobody complained …
FWIW, there was a complaint about Google Books
(long ago resolved). Historical interest only.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authors_Guild,_Inc._v._Google,_Inc.
I still have those classic REI pants from over 20 years ago. They’ve been incredibly dependable in normal usage. When they finally required some maintenance tailoring recently, the tailor remarked on the excellent construction and fabric, saying “you can keep these for a long long time.” “I have,” said I, “and I will.”
I haven’t yet delved into the kbinStyles offerings.
On my Windows laptop, I’m using the Stylus extension with Firefox or Chrome, to apply quick-and-dirty sloppy CSS like:
article, article * { margin: 0 !important; padding: 0 !important; } article { border-top: 1px dotted gray !important; }Someone on kbinStyles should have something MUCH better. I haven’t yet tried anything from there, but I see titles like: “…replicate old reddit on kbin”. Look into things like that. — https://kbin.social/m/kbinStyles
Note: I also select the Compact view (in the view menu which is found via one of the buttons in the magazine header).
I buy some of that stuff locally from a well-known & supposedly-“eco-friendly” brand. Just now I checked their website to see if they sell direct-to-consumer. Some do but this brand doesn’t. So I took a look at their “Where to buy” list. Most of the listed online sellers were the obvious big-box or affiliated. But there was one apparently independent and environmentally-focused alternative retailer listed, with reasonable retail and shipping prices. I’m reading up now (Wikipedia and reviews) to decide whether that retailer will interest me or not.
So, my suggestion is to visit the websites of some brands that you like. Perhaps some may sell direct; and if not, check their “Where to buy” listings to see if any interesting options might be found there.
