working on a bunch of #buttons as sew-ons for a huge new project, #kamerschermen2026 .. making an embroidered #roomdivider!
#handmade elements like this are easy to work on without an embroideryframe, so nice to do while travelling this summer!

You know, the #UX of #Mastodon would be that much more friendly if only those "Hide" and "ALT" buttons didn't get in the way of every image in one's feed.

So often these days, images have text in them -- and wouldn't you know it, the text is often blocked because of those buttons.

IMHO the hassle of the buttons' impeding legibility exceeds the value as affordances for managing the image.

I wish there were a user setting to hide them. Skeletor agrees!

Continued thread

mouse and keyboard are created as children of a phantom node:

children
node 0xfe0600c8
children
node 0xfe060620
name mouse
device_type mouse
reg [0, 0, 0, 1]
status okay
interrupts [12, 0, 0, 0]
#buttons [0, 0, 0, 3]
node 0xfe0604f0
name kbd
device_type keyboard
reg [0, 0, 0, 0]
status okay
interrupts [1, 0, 0, 0]
language [69, 78, 0]

which then gets its attributes pointer assigned later:

node 0xfe0600c8
name fdc
device_type [98, 108, 111, 99, 107, 0, 0]
#address-cells [0, 0, 0, 1]
status okay
reg [0, 0, 3, 240, 0, 0, 0, 2]
interrupts [0, 0, 0, 6]
children
node 0xfe060620
name mouse
device_type mouse

my hypothesis seeing this is that a procedure for creating the 8042 tree node failed and the node was freed, but the current node pointer was left at that position. kbd and mouse were meant to be created as children of that node. once the node was re-allocated as fdc, the children came with it.
