@loopback0 needs about 150% zoom in Opera for it to switch.

Access Denied
You seem to have stumbled upon a page that you do not have access to.
Where's the 502 OK? I don't understand this error

God damn it don't blur the text as well.
Also, once you've fullscreened the editor once, it fullscreens every fucking time you open it

Take it out of fullscreen and resize it slightly, then it won't do that.

IMO this is actually a funny prank, unlike the vast majority of typical 4/1 ones, like the indie webcomic I read this morning with a "I've sold my comic and am going to start working for Conde Nast" overlay. Ugh, cut that shit out, it hasn't been funny for like 15 years.\
The only problem is Chrome hates it. I watched the text jiggle around repeatedly earlier, like Chrome couldn't quite figure out how to render it. And it keeps making the text blur because it's never been good at rendering slanted text.

I totally didn't link that to April Fools this morning. It did seem weird that he'd be replacing himself with lots of interns...

Is that because most people are recovering from the New Year's Eve celebrations a few days before?

I was just about to post this myself if it weren't for the damn spinner sitting and doing nothing while trying to load the composer.

Are you using that crazy calendar someone brought up somewhere and got messed up with the weird months and days?

Questionable Content is still considered an indie webcomic?

@FrostCat said in April fools CSS:
the indie webcomic I read
A comic I follow posted a page where the main character accidentally blew up the whole world.
I found myself thinking "Good, comic over."
I may drop that comic from my reader....

So far, this is the only April Fool's site joke that actually made me laugh.

MafiaScum's April Fools (I... hope) redesign is particularly unamusing.

You guys broke my brain. Parallel lines now look crooked. Everywhere. Even my office looks crooked!

Yep. After I saw this site, my company's call logging software looks crooked too. DAMMIT.

Dissapearing lines!

Annoyingly, I can't find it at the moment, but I had a link earlier to a picture of the world with the US highlighted in red, captioned "list of countries
who use the mm/dd/yyyy date formathave been to the moon."

I didn't bother doing any kind of evaluation other than "it's not on gocomics.com" and "it's not (as far as I know, and I CBA to look) in any newspapers."

@Weng Pranks by websites are fucking awful. Stop the insanity.

Is it not? Pranks aside, are you suggesting it's owned by Comcast or something?

No, but I suppose it's just a misreading of what "indie webcomic" was supposed to mean. If you take it at what was probably the intended meaning, "independent webcomic", then yes it would qualify.
However, I read it as "indie culture webcomic", since that was a heavy focus of the comic's past which has lessened considerably over time.

... what? That's not the "intended meaning", that's the literal meaning. So you're making shit up in your own head and then just plopping it right over the actual text on the page? Then replying to the shit you made up all offended?
Look, just don't post the gibberish in the first place. Leave it in your head so it doesn't give me a headache.

QC used to have indie culture as a big part of its draw. It used to be regularly referred to as an "indie culture webcomic", which was frequently shortened to "indie comic". Since the references to indie culture have dropped off significantly over the comic's history, that has changed.
I've never seen the term "indie comic" used to refer to a comic that either isn't part of a comic collection site, in a newspaper, or owned by some corporate interest.

@DogsB Right click, inspect, copy the css target into your stylish, override rotation to 0degrees. Fixed.
.topic .posts>li, .topic-list>li { transform: rotate(0deg); /* transform-origin: top; */ }

How do you know people were shortening "indie culture webcomic" to "indie comic" and not merely literally meaning to say "indie comic"? Which is what it is?

That has to be a lie.
-

Mostly because it was in blog posts and discussions about it being an indie culture comic?
Seriously, I don't know what has your jimmies all rustled about this. Maybe the CSS tilt has inflamed the rage center of your brain or something, but this seems like kind of a stupid thing to get all vitriolic about.
-
@e4tmyl33t ymbnh.
-
@blakeyrat said in April fools CSS:

Um, sure. Whatever you say. Nevermind the fact that I've only ever seen them referred to as "webcomics", and don't routinely go searching for in-depth news and discussions about webcomics (hint: I read them for amusement, not because I'm writing a term paper about them).
I can quite honestly say I've never seen that term used in the method you're using it.

Not entirely, I'm entirely familiar with how Blakey can get, I just wasn't expecting it over a misreading.

Well, it may not be a lie, strictly speaking, if he hadn't seen it before I used it that way.
I'm kind of having fun with how much he's overthinking this.
I don't have any kind of rigid taxonomic structure for webcomics. If it's printed in newspapers/on gocomics.com or similar/etc, I consider it...let's say "mainstream" like Peanuts or, I dunno, Pibgorn ever since that got picked up for syndication, as opposed to, say, any webcomic that is primarily accessed via its own domain, like QC or Freefall.
Yes, that rather hilariously makes Penny Arcade an indie comic, and I am not overly concerned by that.

I was wondering if I was just not quite awake or something...

It's always your fault if he doesn't understand.
I can have everyone else on the thread upvote my comment, and he'll claim he can't understand it and I should stop speaking gibberish.

@xaade Eh. I suppose I'd end up as a target eventually.
Back to avoiding doing real work.

I don't believe anybody using the Internet for more than about 3 months could possibly go without seeing the word "indie" used to mean "independent". And that's being GENEROUS, because I grew up with the big thing in music was "indie music" and the word was EVERYWHERE.
I just don't believe it.
-
@blakeyrat said in April fools CSS:

I bet I went a lot longer than three months without seeing it, but that's because I'm not so young I don't know about history.
-
@FrostCat I do not believe you.
-
@blakeyrat You must run in different areas of the internet than I do then. The only place I routinely see that used in that manner is when it's referring to an indie game studio (i.e. one not scooped up by one of the big publishers or development studios). Every other time I see the word "indie", it's being used to specifically refer to the "indie culture", i.e. the hipster, "that's too mainstream" bunch of asshats who think that just because something becomes popular that means it sucks.
-
@blakeyrat said in April fools CSS:

That's not my problem. I was on the internet in 1989.

Rendering seems to actually be pretty good here in Chrome, just occasionally a few posts in a row are slightly blurry.
EDIT: infiniscrolling is not working very well for me. Also:
-
@LB_ After you scroll they all start blurry then about half a second later focus themselves. It's almost worse than if they just stayed blurry all the time.
-
@blakeyrat Actually I notice that it is consistently the same posts which are blurry if I scroll up and down, but infiniscrolling is behaving really weird for me right now.
-
@LB_ It's really shitty in Firefox. Both Chrome and IE render text much better with a small rotation. Firefox rotates the letters but positions them on integer pixels, so it looks stepped.
-
@xaade said in April fools CSS:
your stylish
What's with everyone assuming everyone uses stylish anyway? I expect websites to serve their intended purpose without me needing to hack their display. If your website has annoying styling or obnoxious ads, I'll just go away.
(I used the inspector to kill rotation - luckily that sticks as long as you don't reload or I'd be ranting about someone deciding to make wtdwtf completely unusable as an april fools joke)

You're assuming we would not upvote it even though we too think it is gibberish.
