Its a little hard to figure out exactly what your issue is, BUT a thread light this might be helpful?
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44258085/css-how-to-attach-footer-to-the-bottom-of-the-page

When you set something as position absolute, it no longer takes up space on the page so the footer will no longer move down to avoid it. So you need to make something take up that space.

You could make an invisible div that is full height, then set pointer events none on it https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/pointer-events
You could also try playing with the z-index to make it behind everything else https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/z-index

Those might also be helpful for figuring out your navbar or footer issues ^^

Excuse me this poll is discriminating against kids like me who were born in the 2020s

That said, I think its really important for a community like this to have a mix of young and old; I hope there is a forum granny out there as well as forum tweens; it's important to break that bubble that groups that are too similar create.

I watched "The Witch" (2015) a few days ago; wasn't sure what to expect.. I think I though it would be a typical junky horror movie; but omg it was so much more than that. If you're into psychological/supernatural horror I recommend it.

Ok Iv been messing with this for like 30 mins and I have a solution (but you'll need to fix some other things on your site)

Firstly this is what you need to know! https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1137517/how-to-position-absolute-inside-a-div

Simple steps:

• Move the webing inside your .page div
• Add "position: relative;" to your .page
• Remove the float from the .webring (turns out I never needed that)
• Set the the .webring to "right: -280px;" (you'll need to tweak that number)

You're done! However you have a bunch of "overflow: hidden" things set on your divs.. and that will break it again because the webing will now be hidden.. Overflow hidden is not a good way to solve site design issues, so Id encourage you to try and solve those! Try removing the overflow hidden from .page and see what goes wrong (if anything).

Give it a try and lemmy know if you get stuck!

If you send the codepen I can help!

What you prob need to do is put both the webring and your main content in a div and use that div as your basis for positioning, like a guide rail.

Congrats on the new webring

minimized

Im gonna get you mean resized (made smaller)? minimised is something else!

So absolute position means that you set the position absolutely.. meaning it does not move. However the radio moves because its position is connected to the right side of the window, so it will always be positiond absolutely based on where the right edge of the browser is (float: right; right: 10px).

Is your issue that when the browser gets smaller it moves ontop of your main content? What would you like to happen instead?

You can position it based on something else using "position: relative"; so you could position it based on your main content rather than the right side of the browser! You'd have to tinker through, it's not complicated, but it's not super easy to demonstrate.

Lemmy know if you need more help (send the code too)

When I created this topic, I was feeling very upset that someone might consider the hard work ... Why don't we make a new topic for it?

Im sorry DJ! You're totally right, I should be a better admin and not get carried away I give you your thread back (Only slightly dented)

You posited that existing while using the world is wrong

Nope, I said it I said it was wrong to assume its right

Thoughts that only privileged people can embrace who can afford

You make an awful lot of assumptions about me here; I can only really answer them by making one observation; you're young (21?), when you're young you cling to realities because life is so much to bear, but time changes a person and you'll get stronger.

Meaning is far more complicated than you make it out to be, and logic far more limited; compassion is often paradoxical but that does not mean it can be discarded.

I suppose there's the old adage "The test of intelligence is to hold two apposing views in your mind and not go insane", I haven't decided if Im insane yet, but then again if I said I wasn't maybe that would be proof I was; I guess in my philosophy it doesn't matter either way, or does it? What do you think? :omg:k:

There is no existence beyond the tangible, material world.

Thats simply not true, the future and the past are not tangible, but they exist.

How do you want to exist without ever participating in anything productive or using the environment?

Im not making a binary statment, Im making a paradoxical statment! Nothing matters and everything matters. Economics are obsolete and we need them. Humans don't matter and we do. You're clinging to this idea that things have to be one or the other but Im saying they are both.

Why would I settle for a world in which nothing matters and existence is wrong?

Why would you assume that existence is right or wrong? It's neither, it simply is. Nothing matters, you came from nothing and you'll go to nothing; yet everything matters, the stars could not exist if you were not here (because you are part of this universe and without you this universe would not be this universe). Nothing matters and everything matters, in a loop forever. That doesn't mean you should not enjoy your lunch, it just means that like you, your lunch is everything and nothing.

Philosophy is not an abstract menace that attacks the realities of life, it is an expansion of life, a duality that adds more beyond our literal bounds.

So I MAY have been watching a movie where everyone was talking in 17th century language and that MAY have effected my brain when writing that last post

BUT my general point was this; Marx's theory of production is primarily rooted in the Biblical idea that God created the earth for man; and its therefor mankind's holy right and duty to utilize the world. Marx removed the God aspect, but replaced it with "The People", so it was the peoples right and duty to utilize the earth for their own benefit.

I believe that both ideas are wrong; I don't think that humans are the central narrative of our existence. We are one component of a wider existence, we are no more important than rocks or atoms. The idea of production is incompatible with that belief because it's an idea that is rooted in human activity being the central narrative of our existence.

My claim is that you need things that are obviously useless to prove that everything is in fact ultimately useless; like a canary in the coal mine of perspective.

Once you accept that concept you are freed look at the world in new ways; you open the door to possibilities that could not have existed in your pervious mental structure.

My argument is that the mental structures that contain the ideas of production, use, utility, socialism and capitalism; are all obsolete. Not because those things are not needed in our lives, but because we need to be able to see beyond them.

There are many good arguments for why we need to get beyond that phase of thinking (Climate change, global resource supplies, economic/social equality, etc etc) but I think ultimately we need to do it because humans must go forward, we must change, if we don't we stop being human.

(This was actually also the subject of my article in the recent Yesterweb Zine!)

I don't think this is some vast philosophy that I have invented or follow, I think it's something thats in many peoples minds, even if they cant put it into words; I think its a collective noise thats coming from the zeitgeist, websites are one expression of that feeling and thats why they are fun, because its fun to move forward!

++

Oopph, that was exhausting to write But can I just add that I find this discussion really inspiring, its helping me put my ideas in words; so I hope you don't feel like Im against you (anyone but particularly /home/user), Im not I promise!

But we are humans, to us things do have use and value, regardless of whether you want that or not. You

Yae but Nae! First you believe in the world, then you learn that everything is nothing, then you learn that's not very helpful, but then you learn that it is, whats next again Im not sure!

Of course we are people and we must live within the bounds of what humans require and need to exist; but we are also more than that, we have the limited (and possibly unique) ability to see beyond our own mortality and the reality we fain to perceive.

Or in other words; it isn't useful to say that a river technically

Is that not the question raised in this thread? Use? Why does it need to be useful if we define a river or not? Are you not commodifying perception by doing that? You've turned the idea of a river into a transmittable concept/product that you can give to other humans.

It's an endless loop; where everything that matters to humans is a product and therefor humans are the center of everything. Air is a product of the trees? Nae! The trees know nothing of air. Is pork a product of pigs? No, the pigs do not exist for us.

Everything is just matter and energy (and that info is not generally useful) so everything is conceptually useless; yet it's not. It's a paradox, and embodying that paradox is the use of useless things;

a bit bleak of an interpretation

you have to step into the bleakness of the unknown in order to truly more forward, otherwise your stuck!

So coding a website is arranging particles, like everything else is. Which means that a website can be anything or everything else. Which is why we make websites that can be anything, and use does not matter

Let me give a little primer on Marxist economics.

I actually don't believe in the "production" theory. I think its narcissistic (on a species level) to think that the things we make represent any kind of identifiable "product" or evolved matter. We are energy, the things around us are energy; we are simply part of a process of energy transfer that happens everywhere.

So to me the web revival is not about reclaiming production in any form, it's about transcending the idea of it entirely. It's about saying that the idea of use and value is irrelevant

Abolish the unread posts!! Long live the shambles!!

the Great Link

omg

lately i've been getting into Mabinogi

I used to play that YEARS ago when I was super into trying random MMOs, I cant remember if it was the one with the silly dating system

As for playing with friends.. I always get sad if the other person stops playing, it spoils the game Sea of Thieves is great to play with pals though.
