Another concept of range slider using modern CSS features.

This time, the tooltip will adjust its shape to stay within the boundaries of the slider. Even the radius will adjust when the tail get closer to the corners.

Still 100% CSS magic.

Took the bus to work yesterday, so I had some time to doodle. Why do I always end up drawing Olivia all sexy, even though it’s totally out of character for her? 😫 …but it suits her so well… 👀

Attachments:

• Open sketchbook on a table showing a drawing done with pink and black pen. It shows an adult orc meta human woman hanging upside down, nude, but wrapped in different cables, covering her chest and arms. She has her arms above her head, one hand slightly touching her face as she grins and looks at the viewer. Drawn in black, shaded with pink and a black shaded background for contrast. (remote)

"Yes, I *do* read all of the terms of every license I sign and avail myself of all available market and legal redress to the fullest extent, making only fully comprehended decisions, entering into binding contractual arrangements only when I have fully contemplated and priced the long-term consequences" is a hell of a drug.

It's the same lie as libertarian notions of spontaneously self-organizing national infrastructure; viciously stupid, but wannabe rich people love to revel in dreams premised on always being young, wealthy, and able.

Silicon Valley privacy kayfabe is exhausting.

If you want privacy, vote in people who will pass a damned privacy law. If you don't care about privacy...I guess, sure? Let data collectors and ad companies (yes, that includes Apple) mislead you into thinking there can be a market clearing price for data at rest that individuals can meaningfully participate in.

"but Alex, that's gatekeeping"

Maybe.

And maybe that's OK.

We are responsible for the predictable consequences of our actions, and inequality is self-perpetuating without counter-forces.

At which point YouTube, being a JavaScript SPA without any actual concept of pages cached for a short time gives me the middle finger by filling the home page with a completely different set of videos.

Stop trying to be smart, assholes!

You know what downright INFURIATES me about Modern Web Applications™? Broken browser controls. I go to YouTube, I see an interesting thumbnail and I want to open it in a separate tab, but I *accidentally* click a different one… So it navigates to that page, and then I want to do what the browser paradigm has been really, REALLY good at, and why it won over native apps in the 90s: I just want to go back.

Look, it's not so much that the failing and ML-containerization of search keep you from finding the answers to problems you care about. It's that they keep you from finding the people who share your problems or care about the same things you do.

In a world of forums, whether it's reddit or discourse or phpbb or anything, search is a soft path to social discovery, in the way view-source was once a soft path to collaboration. This isn't going away by accident. This is being taken from us.
