Modern Flyouts ~ Windows Volume Flyout

This application aims to provide a Fluent Design System based replacement for the old, built-in, Metro Design based Audio/Airplane mode/Brightness flyouts in Windows which are shown while pressing the media or volume keys or even the brightness keys or when airplane/flight mode is toggled. In case of Windows 11, this application will have the same UI but will provide additional features and…

[solved] Why does flyout mobile menu appear below on mobile phone?

The flyout mobile menu is an important feature in modern web design that enables mobile users to access site navigation. However, in some cases, the menu may appear below other elements on the page, such as a custom header code or top header section, making it difficult for users to access. This issue can be caused by various factors, including coding errors, CSS conflicts, or compatibility…

Fixing Windows 11 - A Masterpost

Windows 11 is absolute crap for a good bunch of stuff so yeah, have a masterpost with most of the things I've found around to fix it haha (they're not all here because I did stuff around and I don't remember what)

YES, I KNOW at this point Linux would be a better alternative, however some here can't use Linux due to some proprietary programs that are not on Linux. This Masterpost is for the people in the same situation as I, aka those who have to have Windows or they can't do their job.

I am currently unemployed and haven't worked enough for the government to help me. I have a ko-fi if ever you want to help.

Stopping W11 from making you create an account/setting up your computer without internet (with a way to create gpedit.msc if your version doesn't have it)

Fixing the Taskbar (in case you also don't like the grouped Battery/internet/sound or the way the windows look)(there's more to it, check the settings)

There is the chance that Windows can't update because of this, you just have to uninstall it and reinstall it afterwards. They also completely nuked the Windows 10 look in the 24H2 update, so use the "Windows 10 (Explorer Patcher)" option instead of the plain "Windows 10".

Removing the rounded windows (since ExplorerPatcher doesn't do it anymore on 24H2)

How to move the volume and luminosity pop ups (so you can finally see those sweet sweet subtitles)

In case ModernFlyouts doesn't automatically start up, possible solution

Fixing the Start Menu (ExplorerPatcher can do that too, btw)

How to show all options right away

A way to bring back the Calendar

MICROSOFT FULLY NUKED THE CALENDAR!!! Possible fix is to downgrade the app (which is fine if you don't use the Mail), but do use the OutlookRemover to stop the automatic installation of the new version.

Your Bluetooth suddenly doesn't work???

It happens sometimes for no clear reasons so here are a few things you can do:

Check if the icon is in the Taskbar. If not, verify if it is available in the pop up menu (the one from the gear icon)

If it's not here, check your parameter to see if you have the option to turn it on.

If it's still not here, reboot your PC.

If it's STILL not working, update your Bluetooth driver. You can do so by looking for "driver" in the menu and opening the Device Manager, then right click on the right Bluetooth component and update its driver.

If Windows says that the driver is up to date, try checking out this helper: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/fix-bluetooth-problems-in-windows-723e092f-03fa-858b-5c80-131ec3fba75c

If really nothing help, download and install a recent Bluetooth Driver. Be careful of what you download and from where.

Someone who stumbled on this post fixed it by downloading the Bluetooth Driver 5.0.1.1500 from Softonic (https://www.softonic.nl/download/bluetooth-driver/windows).

i am gagged, holy - the nasty of jerking off to your brother's girlfriend/future wife while looking up to her as an idol and then years later fucking your brother's ex. Insane Dynamics.

alright. keep holding my hand.

so. 2014. lucia has been doing alright at the spanish cev. valentino has just won at rimini, so things had been predictably loud and cheerful and slightly alcohol-leaden for a couple of days. maría márquez ia apparently (jury's still out) human and fallible.

she comes down for coffee, halfway done with her physics homework, only to find valentino at the kitchen table, jittery, hissing at the coffee machine. he looks tired and puffy from a combination of drinking and insomnia. he looks startlingly thirty something.

lucia doesn't tell him: caffeine makes you paranoid, did you know that. hums a greeting. gets her own mug.

what is your ring size? valentino asks, wide-eyed, a bit like he's chewing at his own arm to get rid of something. very few things are unflattering on vale, but this certainly is.

lucia thinks about stefania's ring. graziano's, which she sold. massimo's, which wasn't really a proper ring for something that wasn't really a proper marriage. her stepfather's, kept in a little box by her bedside table.

she thinks about maría márquez, almost a 4 times world champion, with 11 wins just this year and 5 rounds still to go.

thinks about maría márquez, 21 years old.

something like nausea froths in her throat. something like jealousy. something like shame. please fuck not my sister-in-law hits her first, straight to the chest. lucia wonders if valentino can see it on her face, what she'd done late at night, very quietly.

but of course it'd come up. they're so stupidly in love. it is the obvious progression, when a man and a woman are like that. it's lucia who can't quite swallow past that unavoidable truth.

also, though, she could shake him. you wouldn't let me marry at 21. but lucia has always been very special to vale. and a constant source of worry. they both dearly want her to come out normal.

it's easier, lucia says, patiently, if you can get one of her rings to a store.

she doesn't wear rings. and so they don't name anything, anyone. lucia gives him her best guess, scales up her own ring size, maría's large hands and her thick fingers, the skin leather rough from bikes burnt in her memory.

after testing, in february, with yamaha promising to be dangerous, lucia finds a gaudy ring clogging the kitchen sink. for a split second, for just this one split second, she fucking hates valentino.

the relief is quiet, comes later. lucia had vowed (for her own sanity. for her own hopes regarding her future) to never pity maría, but she'd have pitied what would have happen to her open, unapologetic bloodthirstiness had it been put as second fiddle.

(reconsiders it, years later, in close proximity to maría's psychotic rage and her unflinching, uncompromising drive to win. lucia thinks that it wouldn't have been her to come out of it torn open.)

so. right. 2024 in the middle of the flyouts. lucia has just had dinner with maría and àlex, feels the weight of keeping secrets pressing down on her ribcage. the first thing maría had done was tell àlex. lucia has already met a stone-faced roser and a serious but easier going julià.

she has to open her mouth and say it to everyone. i'm a lesbian. lucia wonders how much that is going trip people up—it's been years since she was last a novelty, the she-rider in the academy, the little girl in valentino's shadow.

lucia watches maría pad around in one of her shirts, long at the sleeves, the hem covering her panties unless she's bending over. watches her wash off her make up, tie up her hair.

did you know you were almost married? she could ask. they'd have married. maría would've said yes, yes, yes, reckless like always, in love enough to bulldoze past everything.

but lucia has spent a lifetime covering for valentino's less charitable imperfections. instead, she puts her hand on maría waist

before or after valencia, lucia tells herself, she's going to suggest that they meet up with stefania, because stefania had never really sharpened up on maría, and because stefania can't judge anyone on dating bad people.

lucia is just going to say it. out-loud. skip two or three steps. i'm dating márquez. no, not àlex.

It's funny cuz, while Sonic has been associated with baseball before (and rightfully so, it being a game both America and Japan highly prize) it always felt a little like the cast of Sonic would be playing with an arm and a leg tied behind their back just playing on a regular diamond pitch with regular rules.

Half the cast would just send home runs flying out the park without even trying, and nothing would stop Sonic from just zipping from one end of the field to the other to play every possible position himself.

But XB from Tribe Nine feels like a version of Baseball that is TAILOR MADE for the cast of Sonic. For one thing the game is played with the ENTIRE CITY as the field, every single match is a cross country race. There's no home runs, because the entire city is the field so every ball is always in play no matter how far it's hit (though in the anime foul balls are still a thing). And there's no flyouts or force outs, the ONLY way to out a player is by touching them with the ball. It's a full contact sport, the players just straight up get into fist fights at every base.

I shouldn't even have to explain why that's PERFECT for the cast of Sonic. Add in the naturally zany topography of the cities in Sonic's world, and the potential is unmatched.

Watch this and tell me you can't see it with the cast of Sonic. Watch this and tell me it wouldn't be IMPROVED by it involving the cast of Sonic.

Only question is what positions would all the characters play. Feel like the team lineup would be Sonic Tails Knuckles Amy Shadow Rouge Omega Vector Espio. Can sub in other characters depending on the game of course. Eggman's team would be himself Sage Metal Sonic Infinite and the Hardboiled Heavies. Just trying to think of what positions they would play.

Feel like Sonic would be pitcher? Eggman and Sonic as the pitcher. That feels like a very main character-y kind of position. Tails and Sage would be catcher. Amy and Metal Sonic would be first base. Rouge and Heavy King on second base. Shadow and Infinite on third base. Espio and Heavy Shinobi on shortstop. Knuckles Omega and Vector and the rest of the Heavies as the outfielders.

Yeah I think that all works. My tism has spoken!

I trust you with my devils questions lol🙂‍↔️what is the tea with Luke and the blonde girl(s)? Do we think it’s true, have you heard anything? What’s the skinny, the tea, if you will

i haven’t heard anything about all of this. i really don’t know what to say, and don’t really want to entertain this gossip because it makes luke sound like this asshole who sleeps around and he isn’t that kind of person. and before anyone gets upset and says “we don’t know these guys personally!” i do. 💋 until i have something put in front of me, told to me directly or sent into me that corroborates what’s flying around, i’m not going to entertain all of this gossip.

now, playing devil’s advocate to myself, is it possible while at umich he slept with someone? sure. i won’t put it past him or make it sound like he’s saving himself for marriage, because he’s not. he is a 20 year old pro hockey player visiting his former very hockey-forward school, and a hughes brother, for fuck’s sake. if he wants to fuck someone and can because hey, i’m luke, and yes i am on the new jersey devils, go for it. and if it’s a girl he’s known from umich for a while, who cares (in my opinion)? it’s the same energy as these guys having their flyout girls or hookups in cities - it’s someone he knows, is comfortable with, and it won’t be awkward hooking up with them. to me, that seems reasonable.

but i don’t know, i really don’t think this is really the gossip it’s being made out to be.

Instead of doing a Six Sentence Sunday today, I think I'll do a short tutorial on copying over fanfic from FFnet to Ao3.

So you've got some old fics on FFnet and you'd like to back them up to Ao3, given the instability of FFnet. And for whatever reason you don't have the original files for the fics, or maybe you have edits to the FFnet versions that you don't want to lose that the OG files don't have. Whatever the reason, you're looking to directly copy over your fic from FFnet to Ao3. And you're looking for a relatively easy way to do so, but Ao3's import functionality doesn't work with FFnet web pages.

Never fear! It's actually a fairly easy process to get your fic copied over from FFnet.

First, head over to FFnet and open up the fic you want to port over to Ao3. You don't need to log in if you don't want to, just so long as the fic in question is yours and you can access the page, then you're good.

In a separate tab, open Ao3 and login, then choose the option for posting a new work.

Now back on the FFnet tab, you should be able to directly copy over the title, summary, fandom, and what little tagging was available on that site onto the relevant Ao3 fields in the tab you have for a new fic. You'll also want to take note of the published date on FFnet and back date the new work in the Ao3 tab.

FFnet may not have a lot of useful tag data, but it's pretty easy to replicate and build off that in Ao3.

Now for the hard part. Which is still pretty easy. Getting the fic body, plus any notes in the fic itself, copied over to FFnet.

While getting around FFnet's lockdown on the text of the fics they host is fairly simple - I'm pretty sure it's entirely css based - you don't really need to do that in order to get the body of your fic copied. And, honestly, even if you do have a work around in place to allow copying of the fic's text... you will probably find the following method a lot easier still.

In the body of the fic, right click the first line of the fic, which should bring up a menu with a bunch of options. On Firefox or Chrome you want the inspect option.

This'll bring up the dev tools with the html inspection tab open and, if you give it a few seconds to load, the specific line you right clicked to inspect should become the visibly selected section of the html.

The selected section of the html should be a paragraph (or <p>) element. You're going to want to right click the div (<div>) element that encapsulates that paragraph and the rest of the paragraphs in the fic body. This'll bring up another browser menu with the option to copy, which will bring up a flyout menu when you select it. From that flyout menu, you want the select the option for Inner HTML.

You have officially copied the html for the fic body. And you can dump that entirely in html format straight into Ao3's html work text editor. Then switch it to rich text for easier editing if you want to fix any spelling, grammar, formatting, or aesthetic issues. I typically try to fix at least the line breaks since it took a long while before FFnet adopted real line breaks and so there are a lot of fics where I have various combinations of dashes, em-dashes, equals signs, and other characters as line breaks. I figure, if I'm bringing the fic to Ao3 then I can try to make it more screen reader friendly in the process.

You can also move fic notes around in order to move pre/post fic notes out of the fic body or basically whatever you want to the fic. Maybe re-read it to determine any additional tagging you want to add now that your fic has access to Ao3's much more robust tagging system.

But that's it. You can hit post and have your fic with all it's original notes, and a back dated post date to reflect when it was actually written, all available on Ao3 now.

It's a pretty quick process, all told, and the only real bottleneck you might encounter is any time spent in re-editing the fic between migrating and posting. Even chaptered fics are fairly easy to migrate with this process, since the bulk of the work in publishing a new chapter is just copying the inner html and then moving any notes to the appropriate location before hitting post.

Anyway, for my fellow fic writers looking to move your old FFnet fics to a more stable archive, I hope this process helps a lot.

Title: Major Malfunction Pairings: Quackity/Wilbur, Quackity/Schlatt Rating: Explicit Words: 10,700 A gift for @regicidal-optimism, as part of the @mcytblrholidayexchange Summary:

“I just think it’s a little ridiculous, that’s all,” Wilbur says around a mouthful of hash brown. “I mean the theater of it, you know? The spectacle.” “Of course it’s a spectacle," Quackity says. “We’re launching a fucking rocket.” “We launch rockets every day. This one just so happens to have people sitting on top of it.” “I’m not a chump for being excited about this,” Quackity says, setting up all the familiar defenses. “It’s a big deal. It’s a big deal every fucking time.” “I never said you were a chump, Quackity, let’s not be dramatic.” Quackity’s eyes stay on the road, but he can hear the eyeroll in Wilbur’s voice. “I only said that it’s depressingly mundane.” “For you, maybe," Quackity says, and swallows down the rest.  or Quackity and Wilbur are Space Shuttle flight control officers for NASA in the 1990s.

did you follow any sort of guide when reskinning your computer to vista?

No, but most programs I use have individual guides, Ive put everything below for anyone interested. Make sure to create system restore points before and inbetween, please note Im not a computer guy in the least. I do not have my Windows 10 PC's best interest in mind, and Im actively trying to kill this laptop any way I can.

Start Menu: Vistalike skin on Open Shell. Files are at the bottom of the thread Login: Custom Logon Hook skin for Vista (UNSTABLE, NOT RECOMMENDED. Make sure Ctrl+Alt+Delete is enabled) Theme: Aero10 I use the Vista (shiny) variant. Not compatible with certain screen resolutions. DWMBlurGlass (for window color/opacity) may occasionally stop, I just reapply when it happens. If the program suddenly doesn't open, restarting usually does the trick. Taskbar: StartIsBack for UI, Open Shell for texture + start button. SIB's trial expiration only affects the start menu which I'm already using Open Shell for so its basically free. Uncheck all Switching tab options. For texturing, I just screenshotted a part textured by SIB and made it the taskbar texture on Open Shell. If the taskbar gets mangled for any reason restart File Explorer on Task Manager. Start buttons are an edited version of this, with added space to the right since it overlapped my taskbar items.

Firefox theme: Rinfox only works for Firefox 115/115ESR. Installation guide is in the "rinfox" folder. Extra info. Reshacker directions were in 2 different places so I'll put it all below (RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR):

IE icon (do this first): File > Open > Open firefox.exe > Icon Group tab > Replace icons 1, 2, 5, 32512 with ie.ico either from rinfox's chrome > images folders or just download it online idc Enabling aero: [^ first 3 steps done] > Manifest tab > delete these lines: ```xml <supportedOS Id="{8e0f7a12-bfb3-4fe8-b9a5-48fd50a15a9a}"/> <supportedOS Id="{1f676c76-80e1-4239-95bb-83d0f6d0da78}"/> <supportedOS Id="{4a2f28e3-53b9-4441-ba9c-d69d4a4a6e38}"/> ``` Press compile (Green play button on the right) > Save > Restart Computer
