@delta Cool. Understood. Do the timestamps also include the time to send read receipts? That might explain how 4 seconds feels like 1 on the devices.
@pescetarian Ha! Yes. I used this script (https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/emailwiz) on a cheap KVM VPS from here (https://www.racknerd.com/kvm-vps). Just learning how to do it.
@delta Is that the tap & hold received message> "i" circle icon > Sent/Received time codes? Picture took 30 seconds according to that then, while text takes 4, but it felt way faster in the devices.
@delta Yeah, it took a few more seconds to upload the image. The little animated circle icon was probably indicating that. Whereas plain text is very close to instant. Not a problem, just obviously needs to transfer more data.
I successfully made my own server for @delta! Woo hoo! Only using 215Mb RAM on a VPS so far. #DeltaChat #WhatsApp #Signal
@Pattyagray Nice! Here's 2001 for me: http://web.archive.org/web/20010202061200/http://www.adamlein.com/ It even had a responsive design for smartphones before smartphones existed. :)
@Pattyagray I can't find any of my stuff before 2001 on the Wayback Machine and that was after I moved on from Geocities.
@Pattyagray Nice! I wish I could still find my old Geocities site. I was in the "Silicon Valley" neighborhood if I remember correctly.
Mastohost @mastohost is taking on new accounts again. You can get your own Mastodon server for $6 a month! The great thing about it is they take care of the software, you do not need to be technical to run a server.
Mastohost is where sauropods.win is hosted, and I can recommend them. Support is top-notch, and it's all been smooth sailing.
@JenMsft Ha!
This is fascinating! The Braille Institute has developed a font - free to download - that's designed to be clearer for readers with lower vision.
An example of one of the aspects of low legibility that they tackled attached.
It's named Atkinson Hyperlegible. Atkinson was the Institute's founder - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Robert_Atkinson
Here's where you can read about the font and download it: https://brailleinstitute.org/freefont

@f1337 Not for me at all! It's very easy to compartmentalize with email based on who you give addresses to. For example my personal address has zero noise since only friends/family know about it.
@mikebaz Nice! That was pretty short though.
Wow! Look at this CSS/HTML art camera by KASSANDRA SANCHEZ! https://codepen.io/kassandrasanch/pen/WNxJZyz
Oh ffs

Humanity has historically eaten 6,000 plants; now we eat mostly NINE: This is a great (scary) story from Bloomberg on how global diets have converged on a few crops in a few decades – with many alarming implications. Well told (super smart graphics!) #food #climate
