#its html first

[sc52]

ive been using as many sites/apps thru a browser as i can, with javascript disabled by default for most sites and the sheer amount of sites that dont even render anything at all is disgusting, you broke the basic contract of web development

[Video description: In Playstation 1 graphics, an old man walks onto a snowboard course with his walker. He clips the snowboard through his walker, holding it for a second, and blasts off into the sky. Electronic music plays throughout; the beat drops when he flies away.

/End description]

I beg my followers to check out Battle Tapes' music video for their song "Brand New" - since I figure most people don't click on Youtube links, I took the liberty of using some tools to clip just the beat drop.

The rest of the video is just as good as this.

Here's the link; it's inline instead of embedded because it's 3am and I'm paranoid that people on Tumblr go "ew an embedded Youtube link": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tp6an4eVzP8

[clumsypuppy]

oh yea.. its all coming together

[marshbarks]

okok so numbers 3, 11, 19 and 31for aeron/axel/drew? :0 also i love the new oc page i just saw it its so cute!!!!

OC Relationship Questions! | the OC page! :D

3. What is their love language?

aeron's is acts of service drew's is physical touch axel's is words of affirmation

11. Who is clingy?

DREW. oh my fucking GOD. drew clings like nothing else. axel can get kinda needy and clingy sometimes, but he's not as intense about it as they are.

19. How good are they are communication?

better, now! i think axel has the most problems with it; because he still sorta thinks that he's supposed ot be Cool and Strong and not show "weakness", so he doesn't like to bring up when he has issues. drew and aeron are pretty good at reading him though.

31. How would they describe one another.

drew would describe axel as "cute, but he's trying too hard. i love having someone who wants to save me, though!" and would describe aeron as "tragic, but without a villain, i wouldn't need a hero. honestly, it's really, really awesome to know he wants me enough to try and steal me away." aeron would describe drew as "a rose on fire in my garden." and would describe axel as "my other half." he doesn't want to elaborate what those words mean to him. axel would describe aeron as "well, if he died, then we don't have to be rivals anymore. i won, right? so... if he wants, i can dedicate a little time to figuring out more than his bad side." and would describe drew as "the prettiest thing i know, i'm glad no one's taking them away from me anymore."

"They're fun to be around, quite the lively ones. Personally I get along with all of them, however a bit more with Blue, though I'm not sure if thats because I've been sticking sround with them for a few hours after my transformation. One of their.. main dietary preferences though. Admittedly a bit concerning." ~netherwarts

"I love the little sillies! It's been fun getting along with everyone, but I get along with Yellow the most, messing around with redstone contraptions with them is really fun! By redstone I mean the normal redstone, for clarification purposes. I always see them awake though, like do they ever sleep at all besides that hollow guy? Do stickfigures even NEED sleep? Hm. I want to test this now!!" ~redstone

"The rainbow children are very nice and I adore how much they care for each other. Though I am concerned for some of their sleeping habits, the ringed one's specifically. I want to help them." ~bed

"They're okay. I get along with them just fine. Out of all of them, the green one in particular is the most interesting to me. I've heard of the orchestra they've done a while back. They won't tell me the details but I'm sure it went great!" ~noteblock

"Loud. But caring. Reminded me of Itemgroup. It's nice. I accidentally spawned a pig once. Red one liked that. We hung out. I like the red one now." ~mob spawner

Hello world! <- straight from the site

[plain text: "hello world!" with a gradient from red to blue /end pt.]

OKAY so apparently, each word in here is a different color. To make a gradient all I will need is to hm. Know the two end colors + ALL the intermediary colors. So let's try:

<span style='color: #cb4dae;'>H</span><span style='color: #bd61c9;'>e</span><span style='color: #a974de;'>l</span><span style='color: #9185ee;'>l</span><span style='color: #7495f8;'>o</span> <span style='color: #54a3fc;'>w</span><span style='color: #2eaffa;'>o</span><span style='color: #00b9f4;'>r</span><span style='color: #00c3ea;'>r</span><span style='color: #0ecbdf;'>l</span><span style='color: #3dd2d2;'>d</span>

thus:

Hello worrld

[pt: "hello worrld", with a gradient from pink to teal, but the last 'd' is white. /end pt.]

...okay, that's ALMOST right XD.

mistakes: inserted to Rs instead of one; somehow fucked up the last hex code real bad

let's try and fix it

<span style='color: #cb4dae;'>H</span><span style='color: #bd61c9;'>e</span><span style='color: #a974de;'>l</span><span style='color: #9185ee;'>l</span><span style='color: #7495f8;'>o</span> <span style='color: #54a3fc;'>w</span><span style='color: #2eaffa;'>o</span><span style='color: #00b9f4;'>r</span><span style='color: #00c3ea;'>l</span><span style='color: #0ecbdf;'>d</span>

ok so i just removed the second R and replaced it with the next letter, and then fixed the rest to make the word in the right order + deleted the last span code block. Oh wait i forgot the exclamation point

<span style='color: #cb4dae;'>H</span><span style='color: #bd61c9;'>e</span><span style='color: #a974de;'>l</span><span style='color: #9185ee;'>l</span><span style='color: #7495f8;'>o</span> <span style='color: #54a3fc;'>w</span><span style='color: #2eaffa;'>o</span><span style='color: #00b9f4;'>r</span><span style='color: #00c3ea;'>l</span><span style='color: #0ecbdf;'>d</span><span style='color: #3dd2d2;'>!</span>

thus...?

Hello world!

[pt: "hello world!" with a gradient from pink to teal. /end pt.]

HELL YES!

day 8/100

life is just throwing me for an absolute loop these days, but im starting my adventure into javascript :) i didn't do a ton of coding today, but i learned about the history of javascript as well as 2 ways of running it in the browser, both in html files within the script tag and in an REPL (also one way of declaring a variable cause i think there are others but im not sure) <3

[autism-corner]

fuckkk theyre geeking out

[orcelito]

Oh yeah yesterday I went to my C programming professor's office hours to ask about what's being covered in class tomorrow. Since I can't go bc of my PT appointment overlapping with it & I'm apparently the kind of student that cares about attending every single class now.

While I was there, I ended up chatting with him about a few things, including my current standing in the class. He asked what I got on the midterm exam, & I answered it was an 87, and he told me I was one of the top 5 or 6 scores in the Whole Class (this being a like. Maybe 70 or so person class). Top score was a 92 or 93 (idr lol) & the class average was a 72. Apparently there were a few of us in the upper 80s/lower 90s, but most people got 70s or lower. And once he does the curve on the exam, he said I'd probably end up with a 97 or so on the exam. So yay!!!

And then he told me how he's noticed how I come to class every day and am really active with taking notes and answering questions. Bc I also sit up front all the time lmao. Hadn't even realized how much of a damned teacher's pet I've been being, but I've been Trying to be a good student this year. But he said I was the type of student that if I got an 88% or smth in the class, he'd likely bump me up to a 90% so I'd get an A lol. But he also said so long as I keep up with how I have been, I could possibly get a 100% in the class by the end (bc I've been there for all the extra credit questions in class and whatever).

And just. I went there bc I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything important in class on Wednesday, and I ended up having my ego stroked for Real. Felt good to have my efforts be recognized.

Got some advice for a lot of Gen Z and Gen Alpha: learn your technology.

No. I mean actually LEARN it, not just how to navigate it. Learn how it works, why it works the way it does, learn to code, learn even the laws, what it's like to run a website, servers, etc.

Cuz if you want online alternatives to the same 5 websites or some shit, you're gonna have to be the ones who come together and do it. If you got time to scroll endless hours on Twitter and tiktok, you got time to ban together with like-minded people and learn how to take back the internet. (Fellow Millennials who remember MySpace, take note as well!)

I advise you learn the history of what the internet has been like. Don't just read blog posts, articles, and watch YouTube videos. Talk to us Millennials about it! Many of us learned very basic coding from just wanting a better-looking MySpace profile! YOU CAN STILL CODE YOUR TUMBLR BLOG TO LOOK COOL FOR WEB BROWSERS.

Learn to understand that the internet is more than touchscreens and apps! The internet was NEVER supposed to be what it is today! Several people sounded the alarm about big companies creeping into the internet! What we are living through is why! Because guess what: THE INTERNET USED TO BE FUN!

Please please PLEASE try this for a while! I'm even trying to learn more basic coding myself! This book from 2006 helps break down the basics into something that's understandable:

If the pic doesn't load, the book is called "Head First: HTML with CSS and XHTML", a learner's guide to creating standards-based web pages. The authors listed on the cover are Elisabeth Freeman and Eric Freeman.

Yes, this teaches you how to make a very simple web pages from the mid-00s and it only works on a web browser, but my gods, the sense of satisfaction you get from making this shit work...

YOU ALSO DONT NEED FANCY FUCKING SOFTWARE. EVERY COMPUTER COMES WITH THE PROGRAM TO MAKE WEBPAGES.

AND THAT PROGRAM IS CALLED NOTEPAD.

I AM NOT KIDDING. NOTEPAD IS SPECIFICALLY FOR CODING. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET TO DO THIS EITHER. YOU CAN MAKE IT AND TWEAK IT TO YOUR HEART'S CONTENT UNTIL IT'S READY TO GO ONTO THE INTERNET!

Be aware: the server thing you can upload your practice website to listed in this book is defunct. The images for examples in this book might be, too. With this in mind, I chose a subject I knew something about for practice, and that was simply the topic of sunflowers. (I didn't upload it to the internet. I liked practicing with it as I learned in this book... and I gotta revise while I get back into it.)

Pick a topic for the sake of practice because you'll wanna learn how to link your custom pages together in order to navigate your own site and such.

I PROMISE YOU that this will feel very satisfactory if you give this a shot!

LET THIS BE YOUR GATEWAY INTO TRULY LEARNING HOW THE TECH YOU GREW UP WITH WORKS SO THAT YOU CAN POTENTIALLY HELP THE INTERNET AS A WHOLE! BECAUSE TECH KNOWLEDGE IS MORE THAN JUST NAVIGATING AN APP!

Please consider this. Help make the internet a less shitty place. Get together with friends (in person or online) and learn together!

We are the internet!
