  • More than half of US families are one paycheck away from homelessness.

  • It would require blocks to be federated, as it is now that doesn't happen, so even if you snapped your fingers and every instance was a piefed one, it wouldn't stop people from replying to blockers.

  • If your reputation is < -10 you cannot downvote

    Reputation is indeed different from attitude, and skavau is correct that if a user casts (upvotes+1) downvotes, that user will be unable to downvote (I love when I can just paste the same link) however the reputation thing is still true, and skavau is wrong on that. There is however indeed (to my knowledge) no block on creating posts or comments based on either of the two.

    Also, I doubt that skavau is correct that if we all used piefed, you wouldn't be able to reply to users on other instances if they have blocked you. A quick look at the code hasn't proven me wrong, but I'll make two accounts on piefed instances and test.

  • I see you subscribe to the "socialism is when the government does stuff" school of thought, I disagree with that and think Denmark is social democratic and therefore capitalist.

  • Denmark is capitalist, so yeah of course I'd be legal.

    «для действительного осуществления исправительно-трудовой политики режим в местах заключения должен быть лишен всяких признаков мучительства, отнюдь не допуская применения физического воздействия: кандалов, наручников, карцера, строго-одиночного заключения, лишения пищи, свиданий заключенных с их посетителями через решотку».

    I really didn't know what to point at as nonsense... Prior iterations included: ComLib and

    Russian text translated using deepl:

    "for the effective implementation of the correctional labour policy, the regime in places of detention must be devoid of any signs of torture, by no means allowing the use of physical force: shackles, handcuffs, punishment cells, strictly solitary confinement, deprivation of food, visits of prisoners with their visitors through the bars".

  • Add emoji to the title: [](url "emoji")

    But that requires the images you have to be formatted like emojis, so go copy from hexbear they have a lot of emojies already, you can see the markdown source by clicking the paper icon in-between the downvote button and the reply button.

  • I would get banned from not only the entire instance but from communities that I’ve never so much as heard of

    That's not how it works. You get banned from the instance and all communities you have commented or posted in. And it wouldn't be any different if it were to happen on .world or .zip.

    (I know OpenStars and piefed.social users cannot see this, however I wanted everyone else to at least understand how bans work)

  • bottom of the page the footnote appears on, trailing onto the next page if necessary without extending to the next paragraph until the page after the footnotes are done, and with the footnotes stored at the end of the book.

    This is not me (per say), this is... I think you use KoReader? I do and I make my EPUBs with it in mind, and if I'm unsure I'll test things on it. But it's nothing more than the internal structure being tagged correctly for this to work in e.g. KoReader. Calibre will do a popup, and I mention that because these two are in my mind in one category of how readers deal with footnotes, the other category (at least that I know of) is that they... don't, the user has to click the footnote (which is a link) and be taken to the footnote (and the somehow get back to the previous location). And I try to keep both in mind, and make something that will hopefully work for both of them. And then there is pandoc in the back of my mind, which understands footnotes (again when correctly tagged) but with at minimum the caveat that the footnote has to be internally in the same file (epubs are just ZIP files with primarily html files inside) and so should I keep the footnotes at the end of each chapter like I've done sometimes, but then in that mobileread thread someone was complaining "If there is anything I can't stand, it is getting to the end of a chapter's actual content and finding page after page of footnotes clogging it up before the next chapter" asdasjidbsoidjfhgasdoiufghasdoiufha<sdlfkhsidlofhjvasodufhiasdlifuh

    And this is just footnotes, don't get me started on other shit. Like, say you want to make a leader, you know, a thing that has existed for probably decades in print, support for some kind of it exists in CSS3, but KoReader does not support that IIRC. And that leads me to one of the problems, HTML/CSS engines

    because (for example) KoReader uses the CoolReader engine, which is a custom engine rather than like Chromium or Firefox or Safaris engines, which one the one hand is good, but leads to incomplete and differing completenes of implementation of HTML/CSS stuff. It's like what I've heard the fucking 90s were all over again! And I have no idea what other weird HTML/CSS engines are out there in other readers, so who knows what I am doing that is actually not working on someones tablet.

  • I would love to make more ebooks, but besides not having energy and adhd, I keep wondering how to do (e.g.) footnotes and end up in a rabbit hole of trying to look into it. This is the Nth time I have ended up on this exact fucking thread EDIT: it I have it bookmarked ffs! And I just end up with "fuck it, just do something" in the end.

    There is a longer rant about EPUBs and HTML and CSS that if we had been irl I'd probably done, but I don't have it in me to do in text. I'm sure you already have an idea, you can practically track the times I've opened up an EPUB to work on it by just looking for when I complain about this shit.

    I would love to have others help me do EPUBs... but as you can see it's difficult.

    In short, what's the best practices for EPUB? I have no fucking clue, and I only keep becoming more
