#mac users, help! i'm going crazy, when you install #libsodium using #brew, it installs the library in /opt/homebrew/Cellar/libsodium/<version>/lib/libsodium.dylib but apparently not in /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib, so nothing finds it, and as a build script that has sodium as a dependency has to guess the versions and the path where brew installed the library. this makes no sense, what am i missing, and how is this supposed to work? what kind of madness is this?

does anyone know how to disable this "next/prev post" behavior on #mastodon web frontend when a post is hilited? i want my browser to handle the scrolling, and not have random unexpected jumps in the timeline... the worst is, when i scroll down using scrollwheel, and then for some reason tap cursor up/down and suddenly i scroll back to somewhere i have been long ago... very very annoying.

@clacke @buherator hmmm, so it is ok to bully people over implementation details?
