[18:09:41] In padlet, if you click on a thingy, it brings it up kind of full-screen. Unfortuantely, right where I would expect the "close" button, it instead has a "Flag" button, which sounds dangerous [18:10:09] hopefully hitting flag then brings up some kind of confirmation. I wasn't brave enough to test it. [18:10:24] meeple27: yeah there's a bit of a UI learnign curve... [18:13:51] why does padlet not have a way to delete a thingy? [18:15:26] oh never mind. "Delete" is the button labeled "A" O_o [18:59:28] i have leveled up to requiring reading glasses [18:59:51] which is somewhat annoying but also a relief because i've had to crank up the font sizes on my laptop pretty big for the last few months [20:06:49] awjr: eyesight unlocked! [20:19:52] 🤓 [20:37:20] * bd808 is now upset that his fonts don't support U+1F913 [20:37:54] although... maybe not having that emoji isn't a horrible thing [21:17:45] lol [21:56:16] awjr: meeple27: maxbinder: jaufrecht: thanks for typing on my behalf! [21:56:43] awjr: if you consider going with an IOL, I can give feedback/advice [21:57:17] maxbinder: let me know if you want more details about forcing browser to use ones own fonts rather than letting the petty tyrants of the world dictate what fonts you must endure [22:01:58] meeple27: yes plz. firefox? [22:02:25] meeple27: IOL? [22:02:45] firefox: preferences/content/fonts/advanced and uncheck "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above" [22:02:58] awjr: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraocular_lens [22:03:14] woahhhh [22:03:53] i got crystalens in each eye [22:04:33] btw, that's an article on enwiki that has been poorly written for years :( [22:04:51] it has improved to the point of being almost adequate, I think [22:08:48] meeple27: thanks, but doesn't change incoming email fonts [22:09:31] meeple27: found an add-on called "Stylish" and a theme called "gmail-typo" but that also only seems to affect the UI, not the incoming fonts [22:09:34] might require refresh. maybe even browser restart. When I set it, I had some frustration because it sometimes seemed to work and sometimes not [22:09:43] ah ok, I'll try to restart [22:09:54] You'll know it's working if your padlet trash can looks like an A [22:11:24] meeple27: after restart: yea, I see the A, and the high level changes, but Kristen's latest email still arrives Georgia [22:11:37] let me look at email more closely [22:12:11] hm. you appear to be correct. It's impossible, but seems to be true. [22:12:27] somehow google is overriding a firefox setting [22:13:27] ok, so my guess is that the firefox devs somehow distinguish between "web site" stuff and "user content hosted on web sites", and allow the user content to set fonts, where they don't allow the sites themselves to do so [22:13:59] that explains a lot. Thanks for helping me understand it! [22:14:11] meeple27: yea, overrides that add-on, too. The add-on actually lets you mess with the css, and defaults to "body" of the page. I wonder if incoming emails in gmail are something besides "body" text [22:14:13] Sorry it doesn't fix your problem [22:16:37] looks like the email is all javascripty, so not easy to debug [22:18:36] and gmail disappointingly doesn't have a "show only plain text" option [22:19:09] and thanks to kristenlans: for typing for me, too :) [22:20:56] kristenlans: I can't edit other peoples padlet text...I can't even drag others' postits around [22:21:12] meeple27: hmmm... [22:21:44] meeple27: referesh and try now [22:22:50] kristenlans: well...I can now drag, but when I do, it says I am not authorized to make changes to this post [22:23:33] I just added a +1 to arthur's pairing post, and got the warning/error. but did my +1 stay? Can you see it? [22:23:49] oops..it just spontaneously disappeared [22:25:22] Hmm weird [22:25:25] meeple [22:25:41] maybe try one more? I was fooling with something when you wrote that. [22:25:42] kristenlans: yeah, it "lets" me make the change, warns me, and then some time later my change visually reverts [22:26:10] still happening now [22:26:19] well that's exciting :-| [22:27:43] padlet? more like padletdown! ;) [22:33:50] meeple27: I used Stylish and retooled a theme to make it work. No Georgia all around! [22:34:00] sweet! [22:34:09] I glanced at stylish, and it looked like more work than I was willing to put in [22:39:20] I will email the pub list [23:06:33] maxbinder: Awesome! Works like a charm. (I chose a slightly different font than you did) [23:12:21] Nice. Yea this is useful for those who prefer plaintext too
