I do wish chromium supported just a bit more of the page/print media spec... cross-references, page groups, and running headers would make my life so much easier...

hey @norsehound.bsky.social - silly question: remember your Star Wars Armada campaign map? How would you represent a nebula in that style?

Flock takes their privacy very seriously. But the ethical gray area in surveillance technology works both ways. Under no circumstances should elected officials or public servants enjoy an expectation of privacy when spending tax dollars to attend a surveillance lobbying event.

I was struggling to think of how I could get these two thicker areas of each wire as a handle-hint where one can grab to reroute. Two paths underneath the main (one reversed). borrowed from @kevinpowell.co stroke-dasharray: 45px calc(infinity * 1px); makes for a single constant-length dash

A few QoL updates: - A viewport control bar - better context menus - select all, cut, copy, and paste keyboard shortcuts - the ability to re-route links by dragging on a link near a socket.

i just got the dreaded "our competitors are doing an AI thing, we need to do an AI thing" from my COO. Im beginning to feel like theres only so many times i can say "this is a REALLY bad idea" before I end up becoming a "not a team player"...

New version of Arcanigen is out. arcanigen.thatrobhuman.com added a Path Combine node (which is a consolidation of the existing path boolean nodes that were already there)

hey @cults3d.bsky.social what the hell? MGM does not own the english word "stargate" - they own the scifi-franchise that happens to have that word as a title... I'm totally on board with Copyright enforcement, but restricting *trademarked* words on *search* ? Are you Insane?!?

had an idea for a premise for a @cityplannerplays.bsky.social and @biffaplays.com collab: what if you guys traded a save file every "mayoral election cycle" so to speak.

okay - so focusgroup as an html attribute... I love the idea, but I'm not gonna lie: the choice to sideline the entire grid piece makes me way less inclined to use it.

Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 16/05/2026

hey @vivaldi.com Can you make it so that "sign in with google" popup that sites sometimes use doesn't steal window focus? It's really annoying that I can't use basic browser hotkeys like CTRL+T, CTRL+F4, or anything of the sort after landing on a site that summons that popup.

who on the chromium team can I bribe to round out the print-adjacent features like leading(), element(), running(), cross-references, string-set(), and footnotes/sidenotes?

Going to actually take this seriously and design one of these that looks good, does not weigh a tonne, and can manufacture without a headache. point the first: it will be smaller (5x6 grid-squares instead of 6x8). Note: I don't use gridfinity (my grid is 48mm not 42mm)

can someone more familiar with the ins-and-outs of CSS/SVG spec explain to me why we shape() in svg > path { d: ? } isn't a thing? @tabatkins.com maybe?

Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 24/03/2026

Turns out the firefox bug isn't *really* a bug - it's a slight ambiguity in the CSS spec that chrome was more permissive about than firefox was. It should work okay in firefox now. I still recommend chromium-based, but still.

Rob @thatrobhuman.com · 23/03/2026

hey @howieeday.bsky.social - do you still use that parallax'd cutout technique that you talked about in that video about the Hornet a few years back?

I got tired of NeDB being not type-accurate, and I never really liked the restrictions that it using a Mongo-like Syntax forced (ie: no dots, commas or dollar-signs in key names) - so I wrote my own in-memory-but-persisted database... and then wrote two more. github.com/RobMayer/trh...

Finished a prelim version of the new magic circle maker arcanigen.thatrobhuman.com Best user experience is in chromium-based browsers because it turns out that firefox has a bug where you can't use anchor() as a fallback for another anchor()

@blackmagiccraft.bsky.social I asked if you have access to a laser on your Paint rack video. I'm not sure if this would be of interest to you, but Ive been working on a storage system vaguely inspired by gridfinity but for laser cutters (which ends up being more time efficient).
