Yesterday I realized that there is a way to control MPV with an IPC, it can be configured to listen to named pipe/socket. So I had decided to hack together a web app in python to control it, but then found an already existing one here: https://github.com/FIX94/mpv-browser-remote
It only does a bare minimum, so I've added a couple of extra buttons and did a facelift, also got rid of javascript: original script used XmlHttpRequest object to issue POST requests, mine uses GET requests so buttons are normal links and the script replies with a 301 redirect back to /. I should've probably used a hidden frame, but that's unnecessary complication IMO.
Well, now it looks nice and still gets the job done (without JS) 😄

I've always been wondering if there is something like that on Gemini. Now I know there is, and it looks amazing!

My personal TUI favourites:
gomuks the Matrix client (https://github.com/tulir/gomuks)
tut the Fedi/Masto client (https://github.com/RasmusLindroth/tut)
and amfora the Gemini browser (https://github.com/makew0rld/amfora)
All of them are written in Go so they are really easy to build if your platform is supported by Go.
An article about how Putin used NATO expansion as a false pretext to invade Ukraine: https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/nato-poses-a-threat-to-russian-imperialism-not-russian-security/
The fact that not enough people in the West realize this is still a huge problem IMO.

Went looking for http-accept syntax trying to fix this shit and you know what? This is the example Mozilla themselves give in their docs — prefer WebP over everything else: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Accept
Here:
// Multiple types, weighted with the quality value syntax:
Accept: text/html, application/xhtml+xml, application/xml;q=0.9, image/webp, */*;q=0.8
Why the fsck they suck up to Google so much and why do independent developers support this Google abomination? 😩
Just updated my Nitter instance from GitHub and when I tried using it I noticed that nearly all images and video previews are gone. My first idea was that something's wrong with the CSS as I didn't update those. Did that — didn't fix the problem so I fired up network monitor in Firefox and noticed that it tries to retrieve all images in WebP format 🤯
grepped Nitter's source and that's it — it's what it does now and it's not even an option, it's hardcoded like that!
@gemlog Does your instance make your old posts inaccessible, I wanted to reply to your post about how much more Russians have to pay, but it seems I'm not able to find it anymore 🤔
Anyway… At least Russians don't have to suffer from something as horrible as Justin Trudeau regime. I'm serious, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the state that introduces forced draft unironically calls what you have in Canada a regime 🤣

First attempt to take a walk outside didn't end up quite as planned — still somewhat cold out there 😸

Now removing the goddamn useless button is the third most popular idea on Mozilla Connect. I wonder if they pay attention to this stuff?
Surprisingly the most popular one is some weird idea about tab grouping. The second one is pretty nice though — I don't have anything Chromium-based installed and I don't and never will use Electron apps, but I don't mind having another Firefox window open and having a tighter integration. I wonder why they gave up on it in the first place, most of the code was already there then suddenly they just removed it. Considering how Google is normalizing web "apps" and how MS now joined the cause, this should be the top priority feature for the browser and the web rendering engine to stay relevant, not some AI bullshit.

Alternative reality where Eyedea didn't die of accidental overdose. And that had enough impact for Chris Cornell to not kill himself, and that, in turn, made Chester not kill himself. So war never happened. Isn't that how entropy works?
I wonder what music he'd be into if he lived today. Well, yeah, some lyrics do sound immature, but this man didn't even live long enough to be in hist thirties. A perfect example of very talented and deeply troubled mind.

Moscow riot police is doing a crackdown on bars to celebrate Putin's newly found international recognition. They make guests sing "patriotic" songs. What's ironic is that singer of one of the bands in question — Lyube, is rumoured to be a citizen of Germany, or at least was living there for years until he got expelled recently — that's an exemplar Russian patriot for you!
It's not even a proper police-enforced dictatorship, it's like a very dark parody of it 🤦

Mozilla removed the extensions.unifiedExtensions.enabled about:config setting, so the ugly non-removable puzzle piece toolbar button was brought back with the wind of last update.
Okay, at least they've made it possible to move buttons of selected extensions elsewhere on the panel. Now I have to make the bookmarks bar visible to keep these buttons small. That is already a nuisance, but I also have to use CSS fix to hide the fscking extension button.
But the most fun thing I have encountered while trying to fix it is this Reddit post on the screenshot. They do really have a bot that advises you against using Pale Moon if you mentioned it. Using words like "modern web" and "fuzzing"
It looks like they are making fun of their user base on purpose: "We wonder what lengths are you willing to go just not to use the abomination that is Chrome"
