Who do I need to lobby in order to get and more granular scrollbar styling abilities in Firefox? Or is this a web standards thing?

Asking because my favorite user CSS to apply to websites is to make the scrollbar about twice as big.

One topic that came up was the Discord knockoff me and @mhilltopple made just for us. One of its features is that we brought back the og Discord font, Whitney. I was kinda hating on the new Discord font and I feel a little bad about that now that I think about it.

But Whitney is nice, is what I’m trying to say.

Back in 2006, I was a happy Windows XP user. It was time for me to upgrade my machine. Instinctively I was going for a Dell.

But then I thought about iTunes. It was my favorite program on my Windows machine. I thought, “Let me just see what kind of machines Apple sells.” I got my first Mac a few months later and never looked back.

But I do miss the eminently usable UI of older Mac OS X versions.

Imagine your favorite app. Now imagine that you could change the way it looks or how it behaves without having to submit a feature request to the developer.

Such is the power of the web.

You can add your own CSS or JavaScript to any webpage. How wild is that?

Have you ever come across some code on a project and thought, “that is kind of weird but irrelevant to me right now,” and then discovered hours later that it’s the source of the bug you have been trying to fix the entire time?

Edit: it turns out there is a comment above the exact line of problematic code that says “Yes this is stupid…”

Edit again: git blame is erroneously saying that *I* did this three days ago.
