Don't know what or why is happening and I don't want to imply that it's useless, but graphs lie when zoomed in. Doesn't look like it's crashing HARD on the 1Y graph
Graph of Spotify stock over one year. It starts at around 450 dollars, fluctuates a lot peaking between 750 and 800 dollars in the summer, and slightly declines to 616 dollars very recently. In the full picture, the decline is noticeable but relatively small.

this "sign in" thing on youtube is breaking so many websites. like i'm signed in i'm just not watching youtube
Screenshot of a klean kanteen web page of a product page for the "32oz TKWide with Twist Cap". On the left side there is a list of images and videos. The selected item is a video, but it shows a frame with a warning saying "Sign in to confirm you're not a bot". The youtube logo is in the bottom right corner of the frame. There is no option to sign in as this is not youtube's website.

586 1MB log files in one day is perfectly reasonable right?
Screenshot of the end of a list of log files. Their names are composed by the same date and suffixed with an incrementing number ending at 585. The last file is just called "latest".

Just noticed this neat lil detail in proton mail. If an email has labels (which expand its height), the buttons which would normally stick to the bottom of the component stick up a little bit to match where other emails have them. This makes it less frustrating to archive many emails in a row
Screenshot of proton mail where there are three emails. The one on top only has a sender and subject. The other two have a "newsletter" label under them, which makes them taller. The mouse pointer is hovering over the second one, revealing 5 buttons (mark as unread, delete, archive, snooze and star). These buttons, which would normally be at the bottom of the email, stick up as if the newsletter label was not there.

Mostly to have darker color where the text is to keep it legible. Included ones work OK but it's a small selection, I'm using a cropped screenshot from hermitcraft where the dark part is a river (bit outdated but whatever)
I don't think a long one is possible :P
Screenshot of my homescreen with Niagara launcher, the background is a screenshot from Hermitcraft where Grian is fishing on his chest boat while looking in the river he's in, waiting to catch a fish. Most of the screen on the left is occupied by the dark blue river to make the text of app names in front of it more legible.

am I the only one who reads emails
Screenshot of my e-mail inbox with only 2 emails in it. One is from Better Stack Weekly, reporting che fact that my website had no downtime this week. I received it today at 10:02. The other is from Devographics, informing of the fact that part of the results of the State of Devs survey have been published. I received it today at 9:09. The clock in the upper left corner shows the time is 13:10.

who the fuck thought it was a good idea to make a package for each locale
Screenshot of a pacman command installing skan page, where while resolving dependencies the user is asked to choose between 128 providers of the tessdata package. Each package name starts with tesseract dash data and is suffixed with the first 3 letters of a language.

hello????? second album already???? holy shit???
Youtube post from Ivycomb Music with the following text: **MUSIC UPDATE/NEWS** This one isn't a new image, it's one of the alt crops I ended up not using for INFAMOUS! Anyway, now that I have your attention, hello! I know it technically has been a totally normal amount of time since my last song (only ~3 weeks) but I just wanted to put it out there, Doodle and I both became very sick in April and it messed up our production workflow pretty heavily. I am hoping that our next song will be able to come out this week, but it might not be until the following week in the worst case. That having been said, this summer is going to be crazy. On the horizon for this summer: - The Second Album - Two New ANTIHUMAN Songs - Two new nerdcore songs - Two original singles And some FULL music videos! There's a lot to look forward to :)

@proton.me My email to your support bounces right back to drafts so I'm hoping I can get a response here
Draft of an email to proton's support with subject "Unclear marketing" and the following body: Hello. I recently got an email from proton offering a 50% discount if I switch to yearly billing. That email, however, contains conflicting information. In bold, it says that I'll be saving $30 *per year*, meaning my discount will continue being applied in future years. In the thin text under the button, however, it says that "recurring plans renew at their standard price and duration", meaning the discount will only be applied to my first year. So which one is it? Am I being offered a $30 discount or a $30/yr one?

crazy unelegant solution but if it works it works™
Screenshot of a blog post creation page with 4 checkboxes at the top ("Assume every line is a paragraph", "Start with a backtick to prevent paragraph", "Turn empty lines into br tags", "End with a backtick to force a newline") and a text box showing the semi-html representation of a code block. It has backticks in the front to avoid turning a line into a pargraph, and backtick on the end of some lines to make it go to a newline in the final render (since it normally wouldn't)

just found out i made a really annoying mistake in my blog writing page and I'll have to pause in the middle of writing to fix it (how have I not attempted a code block before)
Screenshot of a webpage with a large text box on the left and a live preview on the right. The text box contains semi-HTML representing a code block where I was attempting to write a java class, the preview on the right shows the same text but in a single line.
