font-size Limbo

font-size Limbo

You might recall that Alvaro suggests bumping up font-size to 1.25rem from the default user agent size of 16px. Sebastian Laube pokes at that:

I wouldn’t adopt Alvaro’s suggestion without further ado, as I would waste so much space on a smartphone, for example, and many users would probably be irritated by the large font.

I set a font size of 1.2rem from a certain viewport size. But this also has to be done carefully, because then grey areas arise in which media queries suddenly fall back into another area…

I personally agree with Alvaro that the default 16px size is too small. That’s just how I feel as someone who is uncomfortably close to wearing the bottoms of actual Coke bottles to see anything clearly on a screen.

On the flip side, I professionally agree with Sebastian, not that many users would probably be irritated by the large font, but to openly question an approach rather than adopting someone else’s approach wholesale based on a single blog post. It may very well be that a font-size bump is the right approach. Everything is relative, after all, and we ought to be listening to the people who use the thing we’re making for decisions like this.

The much bigger question is the one Sebastian poses right at the end there:

Should browsers perhaps use a larger font size on large screens from the outset if the user does not specify otherwise? Or do we need an information campaign to make them aware that they should check their system settings or set a different default font size in the browser?

Fantastic, right?! I’m honestly unsure where I’d draw the viewport breakpoint for 16px being either too large or small and where to start making adjustments. Is 16px the right default at any viewport size? Or perhaps user agents ought to consider a fluid type implementation that defines a default font scale and range of sizes instead? It’s great food for thought.

Implementing Responsive Design Strategies for Mobile Devices

[casual-eumetazoa]

Far in the distant future, humans are an endangered species preserved by god-like aliens. Humanity has reached a utopia, albeit a meticulously micromanaged one. Amber Shakya is inclined to disagree. Her parents died when she was a child and couldn’t be sent to digital heaven like everyone else. Misunderstood and rejected by her peers, she grows into a cynical, aloof smartass. 

She gets a chance to see the real world when her history expertise lands her a unique job offer. A map has been uncovered, and it will show the way to the hidden home of a long-gone civilization. Amber gets to work on translations alongside Lullaby, an archeologist with their own dark secrets. To her utter surprise, she finds herself getting attached to another person.

During her stay, Amber learns that her own tragedies are no match for the Universe’s suffering. She’s supposed to return home once her work is done, but “home” feels more suffocating than ever. Instead, she and Lullaby embark on a planet-hopping quest, following the deciphered coordinates. Amber is convinced that solving the ancient mystery will somehow resolve her existential crisis. Her only fear is that her moment of Enlightenment might finally break her instead.

I don't know if anyone knows coding but I need to ask and I don't wanna ask on Stack but do media queries not work for borders?

I'm trying to get this vertical line to disappear when the window is under a specific size but it just refuses to work.

.vertical-line { border: 0; }

@ media only screen and (min-width: 963px) { .vertical-line { border: 0 1px 0 0 solid;} }

Added a space between @ and media so it doesn't actually tag. Like I tried border-left too and others but it just doesn't want to work

Edit: found the solution. I just had to put the CSS in it's own file rather than in-line on the same HTML file because the stupid site is old as shit

As a fellow aroace, I did think it was romantic, but also all my preexisting ideas of romance come from other ships and none of them are as interesting as this (aside from madoka/homura but all my favourite ships are some variation of that) anyway I'm eating your sifloop interpretation with ten spoons. Have you considered writing fanfic because if you did I would read it on loop

aroace people will look at a pair of characters who are this 🤏 close to mutually assured destruction and yet fundamentally cannot exist without each other and go : . yeah that's romance? right ? ?

(also god. i think i last watched madoka when i was what? 13? i need to rewatch that its been over 10 years my god. i never even got to any of the movies.)

also no i do not write fic !! not confident enough in my prose outside of dialogue if im honest. i play with prose in my little noncanon oc sandbox on toyhou.se where there's no pressure to be halfway decent. maybe i'll be strong enough someday, but also as ive said prior this is the first fandom in uh. over 5 years if not more. that i've really made actual fancontent for. and the first one ever where anyone's noticed me. so i've no experience in the medium. i will continue putting way too many speech bubbles in my comics though don't worry about that.

after a long few days of bugfixing i think that animal's den 3.0 is finally stable enough, along with a new domain name (http://chimera.pet) and landing page. this update includes:

(mostly) incorporated responsiveness on pages that i'm currently able to update (DID makes this complicated, so some older pages are untouched and buggy, but should warn you ahead of time)

reworked navigation to shy away from iframe-based sidebar

implemented netfriend's html loader as a temporary solution to make my life easier in terms of website layout (though this will change as i aim to eventually learn and incorporate a ssg, primarily 11ty), and other JS-based solutions to daily updates

iframe-based pages now include melonking's frame-link system, enabling specific pages to be linked out (i.e specific journal entries or pokemon pages)

if you've viewed my site before, make sure to press ctrl + shift + r (or whatever hard refreshes your browser) to clear your cached version of my site if things appear broken. feel free to send any bugs you may find on other pages to my askbox or email on the site's footer!

the issue with seeking publication for my manuscripts is in order to do that you have to be willing to really strongly advocate for yourself and why it would be better for your manuscript to be published than any other, and, as a white guy whose manuscripts both draw very strongly from chinese literature and history, i’m not sure i can like. ethically do that lol

i'll sound completely insane if i explain to anyone irl how fucking fandom drama is making me feel, but i also can't exactly talk to people in the fandom about it. i feel like i've lost friends with all of this and i feel like one of the only things that has been consistent in my life for a while is falling to pieces and i don't know what to do or how to deal with any of these emotions. this is such a completely unrelatable problem, if i could even call it a problem in the first place.

You absolutely can call it a problem. Just because it's fandom drama doesn't mean it's insignificant or doesn't have an impact on us. This is a space a lot of us spend significant time in, that matters to us--so when discourse and drama happens, we react. That's entirely reasonable and normal.

It's hard to deal with, especially when you're also beating yourself up for feeling this way because they're "just online friends" or it's "just fandom drama" or similar. These are real relationships we've built that are being strained, tested, or broken. This is a constant, a comfort that's being challenged and changed, and its uglier sides revealed that we can't unknown and have to grapple with.

There's no one right thing to do. Though I would encourage if it's a significant source of stress to take a breather. Give yourself a day to focus on something else--watch a fun movie, funny cat videos, read a book you loved as a kid, go outside if you can, talk to someone about something else.

I am absolutely not immune to getting super worked up and invested. I've kept my cool better this time around that I have in the past, but don't let that fool you. The IG vs Keepblr drama we had a while back practically consumed me, and I was getting frustrated even with people I considered solid friends because I felt like they were making things worse. I was anxious, only thinking about it despite having homework/other responsibilities, and it felt catastrophic. What was going to happen? And who was I going to tell? No one irl knows about my fandom presence, and I was annoyed with both sides of the fandom, so who would I talk to about it there??

Part of how I got through that was taking those breathers. It put me in a better state to process and deal with it. I was less of a mess, had more patience/energy, and could be better composed in my posts/approaches--which in turned help keep me from escalating anything.

Of course that's just something I do to help myself with drama and discourse. It can absolutely be important to you, but having other important things/things outside of that makes it easier.

And this is not to lecture you, just me sharing my experience since you said you didn't know how to deal. If you or anyone else would like to talk to me about it (not that you have to), anons are always on and my DMs are open <3

Please 🙏 tell me abt all of your au’s omg omg pls, I wanna hear all abt them and the lore you got for them /gen

A,,all of them,,?? *stares at paper* I-,, okay,,??

So we’ll start with my main two since they’re the ones I’ve made known and will be easier to sum up first

Homeless!AU

Based on the ‘what if’ question of: “What if Vegan-Su didn’t help out Sheriff & defended him during the scene where their locked in a cage & Sheriff being a mutant has been revealed to the whole group”

Basically, I’m this Au, Vegan didn’t help out Sheriff in convincing the others that’s he’s still the same person regardless of being a half mutant. So once they’ve escaped & gotten the mushroom they just..kick him out. No real remorse or empathy. They don’t try to hear him out or anything. They just make him leave.

He does leave without a fight or anything, after all he’d unfortunately been expecting this outcome. And it’s not like he can really go back to the life he lived before so he hangs around the abandoned city.

Nothing is being done to prevent his mutation anymore aside from the occasional stealing vegetables from his old friends so it spreads (slowly) up his arm. He also ends up being able to understand the mutants unique language & speak it.

With a growing addiction to coffee beans, a hoodie that he found in the dumpster and no friends he lives his life in the city for a few months, at some point during that Shooter starts coming to the city to try and find Sheriff, feeling incredibly bad. Sheriff doesn’t particularly blame Shooter (though he still does partiality) he actively avoids Shooter and any potential interactions.

I’m a bit unsure on how to go about the group seeing Sheriff once more and the angst that will follow with, I’ve tried writing out some possible drafts but nothing seems to stick yet.

ZA!Au

My most recent in this list actually, it’s basically a post apocalyptic world filled with zombies and there’s no saving the world or anything like that, the story mainly just focuses on the group slowly building trust and a family they care about.

It starts off with just Sheriff, a 20 year old man who’s a known wanderer, never staying in one place for too long and never getting close to people, he stops at one town to stay the night and that’s where he meets Shooter where, against his will he enjoys the company of and quickly sees as a friend. He pushes those feeling down for the time being though.

The story (imo) truly kicks off once Shooter decides it’s a good idea to steal from this town. The townspeople are not fond of this at all and find stealing punishable by death because of scarce resources. So they’ve got Shooter at gunpoint, on his knees begging for some kind of mercy (it’s around the middle of the night I feel the need to add). Sheriff who was previously asleep sees this shit going down and it sets him off. I’ll spare most details but just know he gets his hands on a lighter, a car and a shitton of gasoline.

Shooter and Sheriff run (drive) off and end up at Brutux’s place, a guarded lighthouse. Going against anything they’ve ever heard about this guy they enter seeking refuge for the night, which they get. It’s pretty calm despite everything.

Until the next morning when the trio wake to yells of guards down below and a lot of crashing. Turns out two people (Vegan and BP) are stealing supplies and are getting away with it too. Brutux drags Sheriff & Shooter along to catch them to pay off him letting them stay the night.

They catch BP and Vegan at some point, probably when their in the fortress/lab thing. Surprisingly the sibling duo offer to let the trio stay with them since it’s high up and much safer. And despite the suspicion they agree.

There’s a lot of mistrust in the start but slowly. Like snail pace slowly they build up trust.

In this Au, Ryan and Dr. White are both dead fully, both being turned to zombies. With Ryan being killed by a 15 year old Sheriff but not before biting him, leading to Sheriff cutting his own arm off with an axe. And Dr. White being killed by Began & BP, having forced his children to kill him.

Time loop!Au

This one is a little under a year old.

It’s an AU where Sheriff is forced to repeatedly die during the final confrontation with the SM, the SM killing him each time (before the reveal of him being Ryan I should add) he’s got no idea why he’s being forced into this, at first being in denial, thinking he’s dreaming up until the fourth loop.

He keeps track of his deaths on a wall in his room in the ship, carving into it with a knife. There’s hundreds of marks, each signalling another death. There’s a small corner in amongst his tally’s. For when he ends the loop early.

Any scars that may’ve been obtained during a previous loop stay with him for all other loops and becomes normal in future timelines. How does he figure this out? When in one loop the SM fully takes his eye out before killing him. He wakes up and can only see out one eye. No one asks him about it.

Eventually he tries telling someone (I’m still not saying who 😈😈). He tells them everything, about the loops and his deaths. They think he’s crazy at first. At least until he shoots himself infront of them and they come running into his room, panicked he was dead. So now two people know.

That’s as far as I’ve gotten with this one, it’s been awhile since I’ve thought about it, might needa dust some cobwebs from my mind.

Hero!Au

The Au title speaks for itself. It’s a hero Au. In a world where powers exist, hero’s and villains do also.

Sheriff and Shooter are popular vigilantes, both being the laws nightmare and best friend. They help out with things though their method of doing so is sometimes questionable.

Sheriff has electricity based powers and pretty powerful ones at that, people with electricity powers are pretty high up on the danger scale given just how much they can do with their abilities, though it differs depending on the person.

For Sheriff he has to constantly have electricity in his system and so more often then not you may catch him sticking a fork in a socket and just,,absorbing the electricity. He’s capable of causing power outages if his powers are too much on the fritz. So yeah, not someone you want as an enemy.

Shooters abilities (if he truly has any) is unknown to the public, he’s Sheriffs partner in crime vigilante work and is responsible for all their tech and weaponry. Some people theorise that his ability lets him create almost absurd things from pretty much nothing (ima spoil it, it isn’t that)

Vegan Su, BP and Dr. White are all hero’s, top ones at that. Well less so Dr. White since he’s more focused on science and things rather than being out there actively saving lives. I’m yet to decide on hero names for the sibling duo and abilities for them.

Brutux is a villain but not your standard super villain, more so a criminal who deals with illegal things like drugs and certain weapons. He actually gets along quite nicely with our Vigilante duo and doesn’t tend to bother them as much.

Max and Jim are Sheriff and Shooter when their not out being vigilantes, the two work at a fairly small grocery shop (think IGA small- size wise I mean) and their manager is Brutux playing civilian (known as Alex to them) obviously Shooter, Sheriff & Brutux aren’t aware of each other’s double life identities since they do well to keep ‘em hidden. The truth may eventually come out though.

There’s a little bit of betrayal in this Au because at some point, Vegan pretends to be a vigilante to get close with Sheriff & Shooter- either to recruit them as hero’s or arrest them for several crimes.

That’s all I’ve got so far for this Au, like the time loop it’s been awhile.

Okay this is a very long post holy hell. And there’s one or two that I’m yet to talk about but currently my hand is cramping from typing this all up on my phone so I’ll do them tomorrow after school. This took like,, an hour to write ☠️☠️

Anyways though, hope you’ve enjoyed my insanely long ramble on my Au’s that I would never have shared if not asked to (I don’t really mind, the only reason I never shared them is because I came up with them all and thought it’d be too many & people would get annoyed at me for having so many but this fandom is starving, I don’t think people mind if I’m Au central™️/hj)

hi... after nearly a year i updated my izaya online shrine... go check it out if u want :3

[sappsorrow]

What are proofs and why do you have so many 😅

I'm an author so publishing houses will send me early copies of books that are coming out in the near future (in the US they're sometimes called arcs). The point is for me to read them in advance and provide a quote to go on the book jacket. It's a pretty mixed bag – I don't always vibe with everything that comes my way – but it's a great way to discover new authors and make connections
