If my Mac gave me some indication that the battery in my Magic Trackpad was about to hit zero, that would be just great 🙄

@andycarolan oh man, I have some complaints about this, though not on MacOS, because at least you can check the charge level

but when you use a Magic Keyboard or Mouse, etc, with an iPad there is no way to check the charge level!

@andycarolan it would be great to just put a visual indicator on the damn device

The organizers of @pycon have given community organizers a massive gift 🎁

Let's not squander it!

A sold out #PyConUS 2024 proved that even large events can prioritize safety and inclusion for caregivers and immunocompromised people by way of requiring masks, and gathering venue data to calibrate their policy from year-to-year. Smaller events have proven it's possible at that scale, too.

Now is the time for at least one other large event to step up.

Who will it be? 👀

@josh I used to think it could be Drupal, I was part of that community for over a decade. They championed contributors and created awards in the likes of people such as Aaron Winborn (https://www.drupal.org/community/cwg/aaron-winborn-award) but after they shoved forward in 2022 with DrupalConNA in Portland with no mitigations, I wrote to them and asked them how they could do this and still claim to protect people like Aaron. I got no reply and I subsequently cancelled my support. Many people became sick after that conf.

@josh One conference, though not as large as PyCon or DrupalCon, that will have protections in place this year is "the last" XOXO festival in Portland this August.

@starshaped @josh That is not what I heard from people who attended.

I'm aware of Pika, Scribbles, and Bear. What other blogging platforms are out there that aren't the usual suspects (WP, Squarespace, etc).

I recently started adding ShareOpenly links to my weblog posts!

I have a little short code for it, where I just plug in the title and URL of the post and plop it at the end of the content.

and now I need to add the SVG icon to my template

Opinion: new logo icon or old generic icon?

A ShareOpenly link with a generic icon.

@scott btw I've been meaning to ask you whether you had any influence for you exterior color decisions? I love them and have been watching Acapulco on AppleTV+ and seeing some similarities in vibrancy and tone, and I'm rather in love with it all.

anniegreens,
@anniegreens@social.lol avatar

@scott you know what's missing from so much TV and movies is the design theory and art history of what went into the sets and costumes

we get a lot of information about the stories and influence, but less so about the locations and design decisions

I was thinking about this when watching Palm Royale too, and felt disappointed at the lack of discussion about the opening credits which have some obvious nods to previous works

We are halfway through #WeblogPoMo2024 and you are all doing great!

I have missed two posts and still feel good about where I am, I hope you do too! It's a journey, and you know what they say about journeys 🛣️

@adam @mihobu an extra eye! how many eyes do you have, Adam? 😆

I have not seen this yet today, but I also have not been in the omg.lol UI yet today. Still writing in Drafts atm.
