Realizing that while I’m usually a goody-two-shoes*, I'm not sure I /give a crap/ about online sellers doing a little bit of trademark violation, as a treat.

Your uncle at Nintendo is not, in fact, materially harmed by RandoEtsyHattery1983 selling ripoff Pokemon caps, & they may sell other semi-original designs I do want!

    store brand classic vanilla, obviously, none of these twee cookie based things (those /can/ be good too, but, they do not fill quite the same shaped hole in the appetite/mood; also sometimes they are inedibly hard? idgi)

    I don't know why but the weird gray fake paragraphs and image placeholders with the moving shine really bug the hell out of me when a website is loading.

    @philiph I prefer it to "everything jumps around as shit loads because there are /no/ placeholders”, but otherwise yea it's kind of weird/distracting

    @randomgeek this sounds like "day ending in Y" material tbqh, also I hope it turned out good!

    WANT: slightly quirky and/or understated baseball cap/s. nerdy stuff (but not like, the word "GEEK" in huge impact font, wtf people), unusual or tastefully minimal logos, etc.

    DO NOT WANT: to accidentally support garbage websites that rip off artists or pump out low-quality products. (see: redbubble, spreadshirt)

    Like, I find myself searching around to see if Threadless is still any good (they were, like 15-20 years ago?) or wondering if I can dodge sketchy sellers on Etsy.

    @chadoakenfold honk! 🙏🏻

    bitprophet,
    @bitprophet@social.coop avatar

    @davesnider amazing! also a good suggestion, I was meaning to dig into local-for-me stuff anyways (like, not sure I just want a hat with the state outline on it, but…)

    bitprophet,
    @bitprophet@social.coop avatar

    To clarify previous post - I'm mostly looking for marketplace/vendor suggestions, not specific hat suggestions (tho I totally welcome the latter too!)

    basically, when you think “I need more neat apparel", where do you shop?

    Vale, Storm. Occasionally a frustrating idiot, but always a good kitty, right to the end. Thank you for 19 years of companionship.

    Having a home contractor that likes to text (over iMessage no less) is such a nice change of pace for us socially anxious types. Fuck voice telephony, man.

    In unrelated news I am talking to a smaller more local electrician because the place that did a good job installing my #EV's EVSE (this meant a significant upgrade to my detached garage's electric service, so, not a small job) has either fired or quit both the guy who spearheaded that work, AND the guy I was talking to about the next job. In about a year's time.

    Could be coincidence, but that turnover means I'm shopping around again, JIC.

    $deity help me, I'm considering getting a dedicated mechanical keyboard /for my iPad/ (rather, for my previous iPad, which is now relegated to "worktable/cardtable data entry”)

    (eg the NuPhy Air75, Keychron K3 Ultra-slim, etc)

    Already have a passable stand for the tablet itself, and combo stand-keyboard-case dealies cost as much or more vs these boards…🤔

    bitprophet,
    @bitprophet@social.coop avatar

    @joe_no_body yup if I was using these as laptop replacements I’d just get one of those, this is a dumb niche case (have laptop but hate using it around the house and losing all my careful window arrangement, it’s more of a “desktop I can take on trips”)

    bitprophet,
    @bitprophet@social.coop avatar

    @joe_no_body so when the question becomes “how to make typing shit into this iPad-on-a-stand suck less” suddenly the silly lowpro mechs that cost <= a keyboard-case, become a real option

    bitprophet,
    @bitprophet@social.coop avatar

    Hmm Keychron has ‘Pro' K-series which offer QMK. I'm gonna go ahead and guess this would be complete overkill for something I'm mostly going to use with an iPad. OTOH…🤔

    bitprophet,
    @bitprophet@social.coop avatar

    Forgot to follow up: I ordered a Keychron K7, non-Pro. In stock, pleasing aesthetics, has Home/End/Pgup/Pgdn which I figure might be kinda useful for intended use case, but is otherwise very compact. Somewhat on sale, so a good $30 less than the Pro.

    @tyrel hey, you have an extra mouth to feed now, so you might have to scale back on the disposable income spending problem 😂

    @adam I didn't actually see any option for optical? just mech red/blue/brown (went with red, partly as I never have).

    bitprophet,
    @bitprophet@social.coop avatar

    @adam from the reading I did it sounds like they change up their options and lineups pretty often, so I'm guessing that was "a thing" a while ago and maybe all the copy didn't get updated

    So if I wanted to run a public-facing wiki for targeted “learning in public” and a small non-technical community, what’s a good hosted (presumably paid; advertising not OK) option for that? Notion? …?

    Open-based a plus but not a hard requirement; Mediawiki almost certainly not easy enough to use unless someone has put in a lot of work on a hosted version with a slimmed-down Visual Editor.

    bitprophet,

    @luis_in_brief Obsidian + their Publish service?

    bitprophet,
    @bitprophet@social.coop avatar

    @luis_in_brief Tho I’m not sure how easy it is to community-collaborate with Obsidian, my focus on it is very personal.
