If you involve yourself regularly with drama or queer community/fandom/social justice discourse, you may interact, but I will probably not follow back and may mute you if it is pervasive enough. You are encouraged to talk to me about controversial topics if and only if you are willing to accept that I may disagree with you, and hear me out. In return, I will keep an open mind to what you are saying. If you intend to cut me off, harass me, or go after my friends if I'm not convinced of your position, don't bother asking in the first place.

Non-sexual flirting is okay, but ask before making overtly sexual comments. Since I allow followers under 18 and Retrospring does not yet support content warnings, it may be best to move those conversations to another venue. Feel free to ask for my contact information on other platforms.

As long as I don't get too many asks about this to the point that it starts to feel like a job, I'll gladly answer any tech questions!

(If it starts to feel like a job, then I'll start demanding a living wage. But I enjoy helping folks.)

You should install custom firmware on it

I'm more partial to old-style emoticons :)

Emojis seem corny to me for some reason. Sometimes corniness is appropriate, though, and that's when I use things like 🥰🖖😎😭. I also like using emoji that people least expect, like 🔣.

chocolate!

"Play Me" is just a 1-minute album intro, but I like the synth sounds a lot, they're like a cross between PilotRedSky and the Sega Genesis.

I guess it'd be Star Trek. One of very few works of fiction to genuinely influence my outlook on life.

Hey, are you the Sun? Because you're the light of my life and it is very difficult to overcome my attraction to you.

Hey, do you contain Carbon-12? Because I want to date you.

Hey, do you know any good pickup lines? Because I want to ask you out and I'm not very good at this.

I can log in from private window, though the captcha does seem to lag a little and I have a pretty good PC. I'll link this to @spark since they're the go-to tech support account here

hey no problem, I think it's fun

can't test at the moment but try adding this at the beginning of your CSS:

@keyframes float {
  0% {bottom: 0px;}
  50% {bottom: 50px;}
}

and this under body::before:

  animation-name: float;
  animation-duration: 4s;
  animation-iteration-count: infinite;

you may adjust the "bottom" (under keyframes) and "animation-duration" values to your liking

do the minimum required to comfortably pass the assignment then play destiny

idk, but "The Garden Goblin" by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard is stuck in my head for some reason

Game Boy cartridges, CDs, formerly coins and Pokémon cards.

Star Trek: First Contact because I want to convert everyone here into Trekkies

yeah that's pretty much it

it's entirely up to you, don't feel obligated to assimilate into the site culture, but if you think it'd be fun, do it!

The GBA SP is my favorite too! I grew up with one. It was cobalt blue though, and the one I have now is pearl blue. The GBA, combined with the original Game Boy, has one of tne of the best game libraries ever in my opinion.

Software has been a lifelong passion of mine, going back to around fourth grade. I can't remember what I did first, it was either my mom teaching my Python, or myself trying to learn Pokémon ROMhacking. It's hard to estimate "how long" because I've been learning on and off for my whole life about a whole bunch of different areas.

Just focusing on the web stuff - I was hyperfixated on that for at least a year, probably two years, in high school. It started when I was developing a personal website for a class, I had much more ambitious ideas than everyone else and whenever I didn't know how to do something, I looked it up. Usually the result would come from either w3schools.com, developer.mozilla.org, a random StackOverflow answer, or a random web developer's blog. I'd also be a bit of a perfectionist and test my site on every browser I knew of. I kept developing new websites with even more ambitious ideas and the same process, and eventually got really confident with it.

As for where you could start, that depends on where you are now, but a few tips for general computer stuff:

• Find a way that works for you to learn programming. Al Sweigart has a bunch of free online (and inexpensive paperback) books which introduce the Python programming language in different ways, and one book on the educational game programming system Scratch. There are tons of other books out there to help you learn to program.
• Set up a virtual machine (if your computer is powerful enough to support it) or an old computer or spare hard drive with a Linux distribution, and play around with it. Mess with themes, browse the software repository, set up servers, or anything else you're interested in.
• If you are curious about something, look it up or ask someone who would know! Don't let your curiosity go unresolved. Learning the right search engine keywords is a key skill.

And for web stuff specifically:

• Find a simple-ish website that you like, then right click -> Inspect. See what you can learn on your own just by poking around.
• Install lots of browsers with different engines, open various pages in those browsers, and use their Inspect tools.
• Get a Neocities account and experiment with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript there.

I don't think what you're asking is entirely possible. CSS cannot distinguish between images posted by one user and another user. A userscript probably could, but writing one for you is outside of the scope of my time and abilities at the moment. On top of that, even if you have user themes disabled, Neospring won't apply your CSS to another person's page.

However, after extensive searching on Mozilla's developer site, I did find a way to set everything except your banner and profile pic to sepia - basically, you need to set ALL images to sepia, then individually specify the ones you would like not to be sepia (using the end of their URL):

img {
  filter: sepia(100%);
}

img[src$="yourusername/banner"], img[src$="yourusername/avatar"] {
  filter: none;
}

If you just want avatars to be set to sepia (not other users' embedded images), this may work:

img[src$="avatar"] {
  filter: sepia(100%);
}

img[src$="yourusername/banner"], img[src$="yourusername/avatar"] {
  filter: none;
}

You can also exclude (or include) all emoji (no matter who posted them):

img[class="emoji"] {
  filter: none;
  /* or: filter: sepia(100%); */
}

And if you have a unique string that's present in all of your image URLs (unlikely unless you have a personal website), you can exclude/include that too:

img[src~="image-by-waluigi"] {
  filter: none;
}

This is somewhat annoying and likely to break when Neospring updates, but I honestly doubt that a better way exists.

It appeared for me after reloading a few times. When it didn't, it seemed that the dialog element was set to display: none;

well, you have to be logged in

otherwise those buttons are useless anyway

Probably not, but I will be handing out candy

I really like the beat on Jean of Arc. big, yet atmospheric :D

and Falling and Crawling I'm not as big on, but I do like the soft, brass-y lead synth

would you like me to recommend you something too?

I kept the horizontal padding and just removed the vertical padding, border radius on the buttons, and default height. My code:

nav, nav button, nav a.button, .pillmenu a, .sidenav a {
  padding: 0 0.75rem;
  border: none;
  height: unset;
}

nav button::before, nav a::before {
  border-radius: 0;
}

Here's what I did, had to work around a bunch of default Neospring stuff so this will not work on other sites:

body, button, input {
  --radius: 0;
}

.pillmenu {
  border: none;
  --radius: 0;
}

nav button::before, nav a::before, .card:not(:has(form)) button, .card:not(:has(form)) a.button, .card:not(:has(form)) button:not(dialog *), .card:not(:has(form)) a.button:not(dialog *) {
  border-radius: 0;
}

Fonts seem to be oddly finnicky. Maybe Neospring is trying to proxy it and getting a captcha. Or maybe you just need to add !important to the font-family line.
