@untrusem@merveilles.town i am surprised there's a single Windows 95 disc.
I remember installing software with multiple discs, there were instructions like eject disc 1 and insert disc 2 etc.

@freya yep! 🎉
I have been enjoying contributing to servo, I think it's because the community has been surprisingly welcoming.

@jdm_@mastodon.social I think I oddly like it for writing small scripts for HTML pages

I was reading a test where an id is used like this and I was unable to figure out if the imported test harness does some magic
apparently it happens by default…
today i learnt that if you have an HTML element with an id like:
Hello
You can just use the variable test directly in a script tag.
<br />test.innerHTML = “Hello World”;<br />
You don’t need a getElementByID.

I really like how most major browsers have bots to open upstream PRs when they add Web Platform Tests to their own vendored copy!
Web Platform Tests are so cool!
They are a cross-browser tests to check that the browsers are compatible with specifications.
i am so tired of this world, the central govt. of India is now questioning decriminalization of homosexuality
an important reminder to care about your queer friends 💜

@SpaciousCoder78 the contribution period, yes.
I am not an Outreachy intern, I am suppose to be making contributions and applying for internships during this time
Contributing to servo as an outreachy contributor has been pretty fun!
I did not expect to be able to land multiple PRs in a project as complex as Servo.
Also shout out to the amazing community around Servo who's always helping me 🤗

now i dive-in first, and target learning what is more relevant.
i think i frequently end up under learning somehow...

the context is programming, when i was young i tried reading the rust book cover to cover before working on any projects
i always ended up burning out (also because of other life circumstances 🙃)
i noticed that if i have glare on my screen it is way less noticeable with light mode
i think next time i do work on the go where glare is a problem i will switch to light mode
My first PR to servo just got merged! 🎉🥳
It adds support for the content property on the ::marker pseudo-element.
It was a rewarding experience, reading the CSS WG Spec, learning Rust, and the Servo repo!

I am actively using Gajim on MacOS (arm) and have had no issues with screen replacement :)
I will try and replicate it from your issue.
Glad to be able to help Gajim be available on MacOS! 🎉
