#fefefe — Public Fediverse posts

What’s somehow even worse about this: if I open up the image in Photos on both of my phones, the *same* thing happens. In iOS 18, it’s #ffffff, but in iOS 26, it’s #fefefe. So iOS 26 is not accurately showing me the content of my (admittedly insanely simple) image, for… reasons. Good grief.

(If I’m wrong here or there’s some kind of weird setting I’ve turned on, please do say. But I cannot find anything. I’ve already turned off all accessibility stuff, just to check.)

So I'm not sure if this is a #Firefox thing or a #Mastodon thing but what's with the scrollbars?

I know it's become cool for the modern kids to make scrollbars smaller and smaller so that you have to spend more and more time carefully aiming the cursor to be able to use them, and I know that it's apparently hip and trendy now to have scrollbars that collapse when you're not using them so that you have to guess where they are (on the edge of the window? To the right of the column of text you want to move? Guess it right the first time and win a Datsun!), and as bad as I think that all is, I've gotten used to it. It's about aesthetics, I get it, form trumps function, no biggie.

But when you make the background #FFFFFF and the 2 pixel wide scrollbar is #FEFEFE, I start wondering if you just really hate scrollbars and everybody who might ever want to use them.
