and while i want pressure to be applied to ERCOT, have sustained outrage from other cities/states on ERCOT until texas is back up and can be livid at them proper:
Happy one-year anniversary to the most chaotic thing I ever tweeted! I never in a million years thought I’d hit those milestones and was floored when it happened. Now’s a good time to subscribe because I’m inching toward that last goal! I emailed Vanity Fair but haven’t gotten a response yet. Patreon.com/adamtots
……………yknow i saw this and i thought to myself “i wonder if the devs here are so incompetent that they set up css @media breakpoints but only used single min-widths and max-widths instead of both min-widths and max-widths so that at certain viewports it gets confused and uses the css from multiple breakpoints” and yknow what
i think thats exactly what the fuck they did dfhjkdjk

Okay I know I don’t normally reblog this kind of stuff, but I was fascinated by it, so I sent this post to my girlfriend (she knows way more about coding than I do) and messed around a bit on my own, and here’s what I learned:
1. in plain English, the “css breakpoint” stuff means that Tumblr’s mobile and desktop features are coded to work at specific zoom values, rather than working across a range of zooms, so if you zoom in far enough on desktop, it’ll activate the mobile features
2. on my laptop, the mobile features start showing up at 150% zoom
3. if I start writing a post at 125% and then zoom in to 150% - or if I start at 150% and then zoom out to 125% - the post gets completely erased (probably because it’s not meant to happen and the code breaks down)
4. it’s impossible to discard a post the normal way on 150% zoom (I had to refresh the whole page to get rid of my test draft. My best theory for why that happened is that the only method of closing the draft was with smartphone controls.)
5. zooming to 150% and then trying to reblog a post resets the desktop to its normal function, and it stays that way until I refresh the page
