The previous toot brought to you by text-align-last and by daring to dream of conditional text-align based on whether the text has wrapped or not.

So a problem I have with #CSS is that they keep adding more features to replicate stuff you could just *decide to do* if you were laying stuff out by hand, which drives the following pattern:

Me: oh, I can do _____ now! cool.
Me: *does it*
Me: hrm
Me: would look a little better if...

And, nope. You have now immediately arrived at the frontier du jour of what you can do with CSS and no Javascript.

The process is so fast for the user of CSS, and adding features to it is so slow.

On #Android 7, when I share something - an image, or a YouTube video for example - it pops up a list of apps which can handle the shared item.

That list is sorted in random order, every. single. time.

I can share two items from the same app less than a minute apart and the list is randomized each time.

Who designed this? Who, then, proceeded to ship it?

So I guess the 80s cordless phone wouldn't be having a tiff with a jerk base station 20 times a day like my 2010s cordless phone does with that stupid Comcast box.

Also, I really need to get an access point working. This Comcast one haaaaaaaaaates my phone.

Tfw you gotta walk around with the cordless phone for better reception but the "cordless phone" is a handheld supercomputer with a 144Mbps wifi link rate & 80/8Mbps broadband but your roommate's Bluetooth speaker is on the same channel. It's just like 25Mhz cordless phones and baby monitors in the 80s except you could sometimes hear the neighbors back then. How far we've come!

Anyway, I solved the problem by switching to LTE, where I can pull 25Mbps from half a mile away. Future normal is wild.

Ugh it's a testament to what's good about the fediverse that I even feel bad for posting a 🙄 without at least explaining it. It probably doesn't matter anyway, I have my doubts many instances are even using this blocklist, and the coming ability to port accounts will make my objections much less relevant.

But I mean. The guy is blocking - fully suspending, in one case - entire (large) instances because "corporate."

If you want a blocklist, fine, but this is a *bad blocklist.*

{
"name": "Pawoo Music",
"domain": "music.pawoo.net",
"action": ["suspend", "no-media"],
"reasons": ["corporate"]
},

{
"name": "friends.nico",
"domain": "friends.nico",
"action": ["silence"],
"reasons": ["corporate"]
},

Oooookay 🙄

Is Comcast giving out something other than those god-awful black towers as a combo modem / router / wifi box yet? The one where I live is THE WORST at maintaining a wifi connection with certain devices and the homeowner isn't interested in replacing it with owned equipment, but if Comcast is giving out less horrible equipment maybe I could do the legwork of swapping it out...? I've seen this behavior elsewhere, too. It's a thing.
