the fact that my nickname was already Loopy before i named myself Lupine is actually kind of hilarious now that I think about it...

Oh my goodness what an absolute treat to read through your Lupine ramble! I wish we had more Lupines here but you've given me a new appreciation for when I see them next! Did you know Lupine's were named after wolves since they grew in poor soil and it was thought they sucked up the resources in the soil, which as you mentioned is the complete opposite of what they do! Lupines are fucking neat as hell :]

@mossfool I had no idea!! I genuinely thought the name came from association with wolfsbane (Aconitum sp.) because they look similar XD

i think the best thing about learning botany (plant identification and all) is just how much brighter the world seems. Its like you've got a new lens over your glasses where every little thing growing on the ground is a friend and a fellow organism living its life just like you are. I pass by some roadside "weeds" and point to it exclaiming like i'm reconnecting with an old bff.... so fun :)

the world is so much bigger and more complex and interconnected than you could imagine! learn about your local botany because learning about the world around you is one of the greatest joys you can experience

That's exactly how I feel about learning about birds! It's such a beautiful thing to realize that every single organism lives its own life, and yet they're all connected and influence each other

thoughts on autoplaying music on personal sites?

i like the concept but it generally just breaks for me. might be because i use ublock origin

Personally? Huuuge turn-off. I've had times where the sound is just way too loud, or I have to search the page very hard to turn it off, etc. I generally do hit play when it's an option, I like having that control.

big turn off; i used to be on tumblr when that was big on both personal and roleplay sites (circa 2014) and i disliked it then, dislike it now. having music is ok tho if i can turn it on myself

i enjoy gimmicky features like this, but if you add it may be a good idea to have it paused or off by default?

interesting how polarizing it is! I'm personally a huge hater (let me listen to my own shitttt) but there are some sites where it's like essential to the atmosphere, which i can respect. thx for your responses :P

It annoys me when its looooud or when I cant find the player.. I used to have a music player on my tumblr blog and had autoplay turned off because I used to hate it. I find it endearing nowadays. I kinda like when im being forced to listen to music tho, gives me a chance to hear something ive never heard before.

huge yes from meeee, i love it when people's personal sites are just jam packed with parts of themselves. + the mute tab button is right there, it's nbd. i love it when personal sites are very clearly for the webmaster's enjoyment and nobody else haha

i tend to have sound off unless i'm already listening to something so usually wasted on me! definitely want a very visible play/pause button though

Don't like it at all. In general I don't like web experiences that don't give the user the choice to opt in.

not really a problem for me since pretty much all browsers have it turned off by default

I have Firefox set so it doesn't autoplay media. if some music gets through, I mute the tab. I'm thankful for the sites that start with the music toggled off

i personally prefer it off by default, as too often there's no volume slider. i dont like having to turn down my whole computer audio for one site. music in general is lovely though, when the option is there

I like it. One of my pages used to have a mp3 player feature with a whole playlist and an option to pause/skip songs but it ended up breaking so I took it down
