Gab vorher kein Firefox Maskottchen. Es gibt mehr oder weniger noch ein Mozilla Maskottchen mit dem ursprünglichen Dino-Logo, falls du das im Kopf hast:

It’s right-wing trolling that it’s specifically non-binary. It’s just iconography they use throughout Firefox, when displaying error messages or the like.

Mozilla didn’t bring it up. The story is made up by right-wing trolls.

This story is made up by right-wing trolls.

The dino represents Mozilla, not Firefox itself. And yes, for a while, Mozilla didn’t have the dino in its official branding, but it’s now back in there. The flag is a dino head. As per usual, significantly more drama was made about them “removing” the dino than it was worth.

Apparently, it’s right-wing trolls who made up this non-binary thing. So, you are correct, but it came from the other side of the culture war.

They’re not talking about language with the male-as-default, but rather for example this:

The depiction with less discerning features is what we assume to be male. If you want to express female, you have to add a dress or long hair or curves etc…
There’s actual scientific research on this bias existing, although I don’t know in what way this extends to animal depictions.

There’s also analog computers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_computer

Alas, they got largely displaced by digital computers…

Okay, but just to be clear, the problem is not that it can’t do a timer. The problem is that it claims to be able to and even produces a result which looks plausible. It means, you cannot trust it to do anything that you can’t easily verify. If they could fix that overconfidence in a year, it would be much better.

Also interesting: What’s “cloud nine” in English is “cloud seven” in German (“Wolke Sieben”).

No idea, if those are linked…

Oh man, you keep finding these hex values in other places. I assumed the author of this particular theme just made them up, based on what they thought looked good.

And yeah, that is wild to me, that it passes a contrast check. I’m far from having the worst eyesight and still find it needlessly difficult to read.

Yeah, I do customize the themes like that, too, usually also #ffffff for the foreground or vice versa. It would just be nice to not need to maintain my own themes. 🥴

I try to kick my circadian rhythm with ample light, so for that I switch between light and dark theme more or less around sunrise/sunset. Staring into a bright screen with light theme isn’t as bright as being outside, but then I can at least also turn on all kinds of lights or sit outside somewhere, without it being as detrimental to readability as it would be with a dark theme.

I guess, what really bothers me here in particular is the extra low contrast. The background does actually use the correct color, that you point out. But the foreground/text color is #654735. That’s brown:

I don’t know where that color comes from. None of the original Gruvbox colors are that. It is dubbed as a “Gruvbox Material” theme. I do have opinions about the new Material You styles having shit contrast. But I don’t believe, it’s supposed to be quite as terrible either.

And well, yeah, I do usually end up modifying the Gruvbox themes to just set background to #ffffff, foreground to #000000, or vice versa for dark themes. It does work quite well IMHO, which is what makes it all the more frustrating that so many Gruvbox-like themes choose to go the other way.

As far as I’m aware, it started out with a Vim color scheme, which looks like this:

https://github.com/morhetz/gruvbox

And yeah, that’s just become a really popular theme, which got ported to virtually anything that can be themed.
Personally, I really like the color palette, but not that so many takes on it have text that’s horrendously difficult to read…

There’s a very faint “pbfcomics.com” in the bottom right in the last panel.

It’s Apple’s programming language, kind of intended as a successor to Objective-C.

From what I hear, it’s actually decently designed and has quite a few similarities to Rust. Still not sure, how great it is outside of the Apple ecosystem…

My instance went down, so I’m way too late to make this joke, but anyways:

We’re not cantankerous, just a little …crabby. 🙃

Considering their policy for the majority of their existence has been that open-source is cancer, it might as well be viewed like that. Just buy the central open-source exchange platform and slowly make it worse to hurt all of open-source.
