Ok so are all you @neilhimself fans about ready for what I have coming online in the next week or so? Monies raised as always will go to non referral foodbanks and wholly volunteer led charities GET READY it’s coming …
@AlexSanterne@StayGrounded_net Congratulations! I made the same decision 5 years ago, after returning to Germany from the US. Feels good, doesn't it? Even if it's sometimes annoying and complicated to get places, I've found that one always gets there, somehow.
We've been exploring the concept of personal and contextual audio experiences.
Adaptive Podcasting could help us give audiences more value - and now we have released the code for you to try yourself and create your own listening experiences!
Added userContent.css (fenix) to fix Firefox about pages to be better fit for Librem 5 as well as a color theme to match Firefox for Android, code-named Fenix.
Added fenix_colors.css for a color theme to match Firefox for Android, (Fenix). If you do not want the Private Browsing Mode theme for the URL Bar and Nav Bar, comment out that section of code at the bottom of the file.
Added fenix.css as an alternative to true_mobile_mode.css that more closely resembles Firefox for Android (Fenix).
Added extensions_menu.css to fix the Unified Extensions Menu.
Added dynamic_popups.css and several variations so that extensions expand into a big enough popup which also supports horizontal scrolling. Works best with true_mobile_mode.css or fenix.css.
Added alt-browser-alt.css to be used with true_mobile_mode.css or fenix.css instead of browser.css. It can also be used with other styles like alt-single_tab_mode-alt.css to have the Tab Bar at the top of the screen and the Nav Bar at the bottom.
Added single_tab_mode-alt.css, true_mobile_mode-alt.css, and fenix-alt.css, to be used without alt-browser-alt.css or browser.css in order to have the Nav Bar at the top of the screen.
Added true_mobile_landscape.css and true_mobile_landscape-alt.css to have a nice landscape mode that maximizes usable space and fixes flickering popups.
Added fenix_fox.css to have a single standalone userChrome file containing all necessary code except fenix_colors.css. You can add dynamic_popups.css or another variation. fenix_fox-alt.css is the version that has the Nav Bar at the top of the screen. You will still need userContent.css (fenix).
Added fenix_one.css to have a single standalone userChrome file containing all necessary code, including fenix_colors.css. If you do not want the Private Browsing Mode theme for the URL Bar and Nav Bar, comment out that section of code at the bottom of the file. You can add dynamic_popups.css or another variation. fenix_one-alt.css is the version that has the Nav Bar at the top of the screen. You will still need userContent.css (fenix).
Added variables into many files so that they work in “Normal” and “Touch” density modes.
If you prefer having a single userChrome file, you can simply rename fenix_fox.css or fenix_one.css to userChrome.css. You can also copy and paste the contents of one of the dynamic_popups files to the bottom of the userChrome.css file. Whichever userChrome file or files you decide to use, you will still need userContent.css (fenix).
I am listening to Clock ( @neilhimself and the FourPlay string quartet) for the first time this morning and I had to pause to make sure something wasn't going on in my house.
Middle kiddo did a thing with a pumpkin. It's pretty dang cool, and I thought @neilhimself might like it, too. Happy Fall/Halloween/apocalypse, everyone!
We have The Fall of the House of Usher, The Pit and the Pendulum, and maybe The Tell-Tale Heart all ready to read to you live over at https://www.twitch.tv/chilliteracy
Make yourself cosy and warm, then come over to be chilled!
Seeing our world right now, where so many people are hurting, words can provide comfort sometimes, as well as do some good:
'What you need to be warm'
"This book of poetry is about our right to feel safe, whoever we are and wherever we are from. It is about holding out a hand to welcome those who find themselves far from home.
Sales of every copy of the book – including all author proceeds – help support the work of UNHCR."
I love listening to Neil Gaiman (@neilhimself) talk about pretty much anything. He's the guest on this week's Scriptnotes podcast talking about writing.
Here is a weird question, but I've learned you never know unless you ask, right?
Do you know anyone who worked on the Hitchhiker's Guide movie that might have photo details of Humma Kavula's costume, esp. the dark eye makeup (when he removes his glasses) and the medallion Malkovich wore?
I once asked @neilhimself this question about MIrrormask's Queen of Shadows and not only did he reply but a friend sent detailed photos!
"Places we slept as children:
they warm us in the memory "
#WhatTheGruffalosReading : the G-Man is reading @neilhimself 's What You Need to be Warm from @BloomsburyBooks , each purchase helps the UNHCR refugee programme, something that is sadly badly required all the more.
