 yeah moss is great but how about a vascular plant that has basically ... gone back to the way of the moss... Azorella compacta It's... it's a carrot that has given up on having leaves... Imagine a hostile planet with plants like this... could you tell that they once grew in less cold and arid climates? What if flora of the twilight days of a planet look like the earliest life... but when you look closer there are abilities, and structures that tell their history....

 @beeoproblem this rolled out to me in the past few days and I absolutely loathe it. I think I really do need to start trying DuckDuckGo or something @beeoproblem DuckDuckGo is pretty great - I’ve been using it as my default for about a year I decided to try out the Gum (single Go binary) by @charmcli to make adding photos easier to my Hugo static site. This is all done with pretty basic bash scripting (the only kind I'm capable of)! It was impressively easy it was to use and while I don't like additional dependencies, this one is worth it. I definitely will be making a lot more use of Gum (a whole Hugo interface)! Shout out to my #BelieveInFilm and #Hugo friend @bill for the nice photo layout.

 @shom @charmcli This looks great! Is your code online anywhere? Have you done more work on a Hugo interface since this post? I'm tempted to try something similar for my Hugo sites. EDIT: OK I found the script from this post https://git.sr.ht/~shom/filmPoster Still curious if you intend to go further :-) We've hit 10 successful check-outs from our e-bike library 🎉 This spring, check out a beautiful Linus e-bike from Wheel Simple for up to 2 weeks, for free! @charlesxjyang Image description: A Felix e6100 ebike stands under a tree in a grassy park on a sunny day. It is a comfortable-looking Dutch-style city bike, with fenders on the wheels, integrated headlight & taillight, and a rear rack. Today is the anniversary of the MOVE bombing. The only thing that’s changed is police are far more militarized, far more funded, and far less accountable, while their supporters fly a desecrated flag to explicitly endorse their violent attacks. @anildash For anyone not familiar with the MOVE bombing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1985_MOVE_bombing @skyfaller this short article suggests it was both practical and symbolic. https://www.newyorker.com/news/annals-of-a-warming-planet/they-wore-surgical-masks-for-the-first-earth-day-too Why were most of the cyclists in this photo wearing masks in November 1977? Was it to avoid breathing polluted air? If so, thank goodness we have the EPA now; I hope we can address modern threats to air quality, like climate change related wildfires, rather than giving up and letting the air become difficult to breathe again. @skyfaller The air was definitely wildly filthy in the '70s, and riding in traffic could truly make you sick. At the same time, I don't ever recall seeing a cyclist wearing a mask, so it makes me wonder what's up. @skyfaller I grew up not far from the Lehigh Valley Velodrome. I can remember some of the cyclists wearing either balaclavas or masks in smog season. Most didn't but nobody seemed to care about people who chose to protect themselves from particulates back then. @skyfaller this short article suggests it was both practical and symbolic. https://www.newyorker.com/news/annals-of-a-warming-planet/they-wore-surgical-masks-for-the-first-earth-day-too  In New Sweep, Police Ban Observers & Media from Control Zone in Kensington, Philadelphia I wanted to make sure in writing about ‘involuntary’ nondrivers I didn’t alienate people who choose to organize their lives so they don’t need to own a car. @tfooq endorsement makes me hopeful I managed it! Does anyone have a link to a video on solar storm events and their effect on infrastructure that comes from a reputable source? Partially due to Google's shitty algorithm, I'm mostly finding clickbait conspiracy BS.  There's a group working on open source sewing patterns. "FreeSewing is open source software to generate bespoke sewing patterns, loved by home sewers and fashion entrepreneurs alike. Industry sizing is a bunch of lies. Join the slow fashion revolution and enjoy clothes that fit you." The patterns are parametric and can be adjusted. Edit: Freesewing also has a fediverse account @freesewing What kinds of roads we choose to build (and for whom we build them) is relevant to creating a future we can thrive in. Back in the #USA, #Oregon Metro planner Robert Spurlock calculated a complete linked 1,000 MILE network of low-impact regional walk/bike trails would cost $500M. That's half the cost of expanding a mile of I-5 freeway. Admittedly that's just for 3-meter ribbons of asphalt, not beautiful Dutch fietspad with complex crossings and community input. But we have to make choices now. @iffybooks cool workshop! I’m curious, is this workshop teaching people how to host a website locally and only available to your home network, or one accessible to the internet?  We're back to my recurring nightmare of making it easy for a non-technical client to edit a static website generated using #Hugo. Are there any good solutions? Or am I going to end up writing my own solution after many painful hours with other people's janky solutions? If you know of a non-technical user successfully editing a static website, how are they doing it? EDIT: I'll only use open source solutions I can self-host, but happy to hear about proprietary options.

@skyfaller I recently switched from Hugo to Astro (OSS but funded) and it's been a delight. The docs are _incredible_, and it is popular enough that there's meaningful and updated packages to do more things with it (there's a whole section on using a headless CMS service: https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/cms/) not sure if it aligns with your needs, but for me it is a breath of fresh air after wrangling Hugo for so many years. The <Image/> component/service alone is worth it imho @skyfaller Terrible question, but it must be asked. Is the effort to install, teach and maintain a CMS greater than the effort for you to make the client's updates yourself? Or is that just out of the question? I am biased, never met a CMS I liked. Some of the static generators are not bad though. BREAKING: During a downpour, Philadelphia Police under orders from new hardline Mayor Cherelle Parker are conducting anti-homeless encampment sweeps of the Kensington and Allegheny area in the northeast area of the city - footage taken around 7 a.m. Bike parking — followed by outdoor dining — generates the most revenue for local businesses, nearly double the amount generated from on-street private car storage 👏 We need to inform local businesses of these facts, but also need SFMTA to make quick decisions based off of them.

 @LukeBornheimer I seem to have adopted an intern at my dysfunctional web business. The intern is in high school, knows basic HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and has a little experience using Ruby and other programming languages. However they have never used git, for example, and presumably lack experience with similar essential tools. How would you help a beginner programmer get started, with a focus on technologies relevant to the web and web infrastructure? I already recommended they play https://ohmygit.org/

@skyfaller It’s never too soon to introduce them to accessibility. #A11y folks, do you have ideas or resources for high-school-age developers? @skyfaller This is interesting, I need to teach my wife Git since universities are 2 decades behind the times. 12

@futurebird I saw these llareta in Atacama and they were absolutely incredible. Alien. (They’re endangered now because they grow so slowly and miners harvested them for fuel)
@futurebird I still don’t understand what the structure is underneath. Looks like stems, but maybe really tightly packed.
