I noticed that #Obsidian is barely useable with keyboard navigation on iOS/iPadOS. The UI herarchy does not translate into accessible tab navigation. The deepest reachable UI element is the vault switcher menu. There is room for improvement.

Needed some time to get used to it but I really like @MonaApp 's approach to discovery. A single tab gets you to a certain instance where you then can switch between all its feeds on a second layer. Thus the tree icon. 🌳💚

The only thing I am missing is seeing the hashtag results of the chosen instance. Right now choosing a trending hashtag from a remote instance shows me the hashtag feed of my home instance. Which always leads to the same results.

It’s true tho. The only two tools left, that make me stick Adobe Illustrator around. Image Tracer and Recolor Artwork.

Affinity Designer does miss some stuff but relpaced Illustrator in my workflows up to 90%. Main reasons being performance and UX consisency.

What are your thoughts?

Let's see how this ages: The first Apple device that bridges the artificial gap between iPadOS and macOS will be called "iPad Studio" and use a hybrid operating system that behaves lika tablet and runs mainly iPadOS apps when no keyboard with trackpad is present and runs macOS apps when a keyboard with trackpad is attached.

Now that Apple is forced to open their mobile operating systems for third party devs in an unprecedented manner, can we work on an indie foss podcatcher that does not suck?

If you use Obsidian with the KanBan community plug-in, you likely filter cards by a search term from time to time. Especially on huge kanban boards with a ton of cards.

Here is the problem: By default, non-matching cards are dimmed while matching cards keep their style. I find it visually too cluttered. I’d prefer to only see my matching cards.

Here is my silly reverse-engineered CSS-only solution. Definitely one of my funniest selectors. Works great.

#Obsidian #KanBan #CSS #Markdown

Screenshots of a kanban board coparing the same board before adding the css code and after adding the css code. In the before state the search term #hateit is active. All matching cards light up. All no matchin cards are dimmed. After adding the CSs code the same filter only shows the matching cards. All non-matching cards are gone. Way less visual clutter.

Masters of the terminal, which magic spell do I have to type in order to batch-remove the last 12 characters on all files?

Before:
SL370034.JPG.d1709304955

After:
SL370034.JPG

The ".dxxxxxxxxxx" part always consists of 12 characters where "." and "d" are character 1 and 2 followed by ten single digits.

Warum die Bezahlkarte für Geflüchtete eine ungerechte und nicht objektiv begründbare politische Agenda ist.

Hier trifft neo-liberale Denke auf Reaktionismus und stärkt vor allem rechtspopulistische Vorurteile.

Given the latest Tumblr scandal, I just want to remind everyone that fedi networks offer everything Tumblr does.

The only thing vanilla Mastodon lacks is long texts and more than 4 images. But there is plenty of (fire)fish in the sea. Don't "miss" a "key" opportunity to unfuck your fandom life. Open software is your friend(ica). No matter what your blogging activity(pub) is. There is an alternative for every pixel(fed) lost on proprietary platforms.

There is this gap between "Ah, fuck it, I am writing my blog in plain HTML" and "The limits of human nature dictate me that I need to use a CMS". And I hate all of it. The two extremes as well as the gap. Nothing is good!

"Inspired by Modernists like Le Corbusier, they planted tall buildings in seas of greenery, which they blended with idea from the Garden City movement about balancing urban and rural spaces. Garden Cities, politically, were meant to be shared in terms of ownership and administration, which fit neatly with the politics of the time and region."

Getting lost with sophistication. A step-by-step journey.

1. I need some kind of dashboard in my #Obsidian app to help me find common things more quickly.

2. Ideally I want to build it in HTML/CSS. Canvas supports embedding websites! I quickly build a simple layout with some buttons and save it as .html

3. While embedding websites is easy, embedding .html files is not supported in the same way.

Today I learned you can use Vernissage app that is meant for #Pixelfed but instead login with a #Mastodon instance rendering your timelines into a photo stream.

Awesome alternative way to navigate fedi feeds visually.

The only thing that does not work is posting images to a mastodon account. Maybe in the future?

Thanks @rscottjones for the tip and @mczachurski for the great and minimalist @vernissage

yuliyan, 5 months ago to photography

Wondering if I should have a profile or instance specifically for #photography. Would y'all recommend #Mastodon or #Pixelfed for that purpose?

To be more exact, are benefits of Pixelfed worth it, if you only post one to five photos per post? Or does Mastodon do the job just fine?

yuliyan, 5 months ago to Spotify

First world problem, yes but does anybody else find the #Spotify app extremely cluttered and unpleasant to use?

yuliyan, 5 months ago to threads

Let's see how this ages:

You don't actually know wether #Threads federating will extinguish the #fediverse via dominance. It's not like Mastodon will stop working now that Threads is there.

Do you run autonomous E-Mail servers? Some of us do. Others use GMail.

Do you run your own website? Many of us do. Others rely on WIX/SquareSpace etc.

Currently I feel like the federation plans are a "could be worse" scenario and a win for decentralised networks.

DaVinci Resolve on macOS comes as a .zip that contains a .dmg that contains a .pkg that installs an .app

I need to upgrade my static site since I have a bunch of articles to post and just hit the limit of maintainable complexity. Which static site generators do you recommend to someone new to the concept? Why?

Features I am looking for:

• as little dependencies as possible
• markdown compatibility (duh)
• fully customizable css
• rss support
• sanity

Recently I had a business phone call and the person on the other side was baffled, that they couldn't find me on LinkedIn. Evenmore were they surprised to hear thst I don't have one.

Y'all have LinkedIn accounts nowadays?

yuliyan, 7 months ago to markdown

I was today years old when I learned that in order to do a <br> line break without starting a new paragraph in #Markdown to #HTML formatters, „you end a line with two or more spaces, then type return.“

Wonder how? Via #Spotify of all things. They support podcast chapters if you put them in your shownotes YouTube style. But only if the lines are divided by <br> and not as paragraphs.

I love the unspecificality „two or more spaces“
