Like the new dark theme on the 'write a post' page! Great to not have a sudden white screen!

Ah yes, that's better!
Giphy is one of those sites that does something dodgy where what looks like the URL to image file (see the .gif extension) actually serves you an HTML page if you visit it directly. If you use the URL of the page the gif is on though, oembed should allow us to pull it in: giphy.com/gifs/tongue-goodni...
What about if I download it from giphy and upload it here?

@BonfireBuilders Looks like the screenshot didn't make it into the post?
Did you try pasting the screenshot image? In which case this should fix that in the next release: github.com/bonfire-networks/...
I have a suggestion for Bonfire:
@BonfireBuilders #bonfire_feedback
These radio button look way too weird. I in general don't subscribe to the idea that every website has to use its own checkburrons and radiobuttons, but if you really want to make your own, design them as conservatively as possible.
For instance, as a red-green blind user I have difficulties distinguishing the two states of the button. And even if would be able to clearly distinguish them, just seeing two of them with one being activated and the other not, it is really hard to decide which one is which.
Radio buttons have been figured out since 1984, no need to experiment here.

Hey what's new on Bonfire?
Definitely liking the new composition interface using the same color scheme as the rest of the service.

Every few decades I remember a time in my teens when I thought I could and would write poetry. As it turns out, I couldn't quite and most definitely wouldn't.
Of the poetry I wrote, the following is the only one I wrote (and submitted... to actual poetry editors!) which I can remember in full. I make no claims as to its literary qualities but it does serve to remind me that the intellectual and spiritual/anti-spiritual themes to which I frequently turn my thoughts today were fairly well-established in my mind over half a century ago.
People! I give you:
Transfinite Poem
by A Sorry Bowl
Because we must prepare some sort of clearing
Where the new numbers may safely disembark
We work all night, sometimes nervously peering
Up, into the indivisible Dark.
The numbers, we are told, will not resemble
Ideas of sets of oranges or curves.
We must not stand too close when they assemble;
The merest whiff of us might bruise their nerves.
We cannot guess what systems of equations
Apply to them; we must not think we know.
We will be awed. We will have reservations.
But they, we hope, oblivious, will grow...
Grow more complex, more beautiful, each second.
But — given what they are — this can't be reckoned.

I can't express enough my gratitude to Mayel, you, and abaez for this work, it especially shows in this issue. Thanks a lot for this answer!
@BonfireBuilders @ivan @mayel (It doesn't "especially" show from a development perspective, but for me, as a mere Linux user, I can imagine what it means to configure a dev environment, so it resonates with my own experience.)

Hi, thanks for the answer! Sorry for not replying earlier, I was AFK (cc @ivan).
On mutual aid, I wasn’t thinking about anything else than crowdfunding; thank you both for your work on the image metadata feature request.
I’m not aware of an official Bonfire app, do you mean the web portal? IME it’s Android suspending my browser, I should just disable "battery optimizations" but my phone lacks hardware resources for the authorized apps already. When Android suspends my browser, my tabs need to be reloaded so I lose any text I might have entered without saving it as a draft, so for example I can’t start a reply, screw an Ikea case (sorry, didn’t buy it), and then get back to my reply draft.
All I’m trying to say is that the UX could be improved by storing drafts locally, similarly to Pinafore, i.e. I’ve just refreshed my tab and on Pinafore the "write something…" box should be already set to reply to this message with the text pre-entered. I have no idea if it’s easy to do or if it should be a priority for you; Bonfire being modular, I could just wait until a developer does this tweak (I hope/guess), but I feel like I should suggest you making it the default, upstream behaviour.
4chan screenshot
4chan in a nutshell. (4chan is bad but Twitter is probably even worse and activists still use it; it’s an awful tool, but unfortunately it’s relevant if you’re trying to get the attention of a specific population on a topic.)
Absolument, et le rôle des communs (que je suis original hohoho, je me renouvelle de semaine en semaine /s) est de baisser ces coûts ! Et l’un de ces coûts, ça me désole, est le manque de traduction de la documentation ; l’État français pourrait investir quelques centaines de milliers d’euros dans cette traduction, ne serait-ce que pour un secteur français du numérique en forte demande de développeurs et d’administrateurs systèmes !
Quant à l’usage d’outils comme vim ou LaTeX, honnêtement, ce n’est pas plus compliqué que MS Office Word. Il est certainement compliqué de réaliser sous LaTeX des tâches simples sous Word, mais ce sont deux outils différents, complexes, l’un étant plus adapté à la mise en page et au graphisme, l’autre à la prise en charge du formattage de documents complexes, avec un sommaire, un formattage spécifique pour l’avant-propos, la génération d’une bibliographie et d’un index, etc. Honnêtement, que Microsoft paie les universités européennes pour nous former à la suite Office montre bien que ces outils, ne serait-ce que concernant la génération d’un graphique à partir d’un tableau, n’est pas une opération moins complexe qu’avec R et LaTeX…
Je veux dire par là que les concepts sous-jacents sont complexes ; Office peut dissimuler cette complexité en tartinant une interface par-dessus, incitant sans doute ses utilisateurs à broder sur des concepts vaguement maîtrisés (au lieu d’assumer ce manque de maîtrise). Mais une grande partie (la majeure partie ?) de nos formations se concentre sur son interface plutôt que sur ces concepts. C’est dégoûtant.
