@jakintosh I saw your PR in my email this morning, I can't load github for the life of me right now, so I can't merge it, but I just wanted to mention that your website doesn't show up in streetpass because you don't have the rel='me' thing to validate your website with mastodon, you should add it up : )  @neauoire strange, I do have it set up, but it looks like in a different way than mastodon profile edit page explains; I have a <link rel=“me”> in the <head>. I’m going to add the ‘rel=“me”’ attribute to the <a> in my footer that links here, and see if that covers more cases like streetpass.

@wryl today I had some time to think about how Nova works, can you let me know if this is accurate https://dziban.net/note/nova @dziban A lot of this is correct, and a lot of it is simpler than you've specified. Variable assignment and expression evaluation isn't a built-in feature of the language, but instead considered a part of the standard library. Rule priority is source-order, and rules consume the tuples they match. The left-hand side of a rule is the tuples it consumes, while the right-hand side is the tuples it produces. I've updated the snippet with more code. https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/3716812 ⦶ https://buttondown.email/perfectsentences/archive/perfect-sentences-76/ this week in sentences: the bottom of the sea, we hate it, proximity of normcore, bond of guilt, today's foible, less hassle, Billy5000 also I just noticed a bunch of new subscribers in the last week, cool and welcome new readers but who did that 💭 I wonder if I could scare a bear by waving a paddle over my head, should I make myself small, or appear big, I can never remember, maybe if I clap my hands..

 I've been down a rabbit hole the last couple of weeks with Apple's ancient Font Editor 2.0 (1984), the first font editor I ever used on a Mac. This is the pre-PostScript era of bitmap fonts like Chicago, Geneva, and New York. I wound up making a user guide and a video demo, which you can watch here: https://youtu.be/rOwzfaTU0XA?si=QDwZDFvE8pl9-9Kq

 @marksimonson Mark, this is amazing. But i only boost posts with alt text on their images (aka "image description). Can you please take the time to write some? Should be able to edit the post. Ta. @marksimonson So great, thank you for the reminder. Forgive me if you mention it in your video, since I haven't had time to watch it yet, but I was also fond of the mini version built directly into ResEdit:  @marksimonson What a wonderful video clearly showcasing the experience of tasks in 1980s on the Mac along with several gotchas. I faintly recall using ResEdit to change the Finder’s “Cancel/Okay” to “Nah/Sure” system wide because why not, but I my may be misremembering. Good times. Alaskan summer days are very long, the sun wakes us up at 4am, and it stays bright until 11pm. I think that, if we were very motivated, we could solarcook every meals each day. Explored the beached wreckage of a wooden fishing vessel, an old 12 pistons GM engine, fuse breakers, brass screws for everything, bullets. There was no documentation of this wreck on the charts. Spent an hour looking through it all, I couldn't find a name or a date. I came to comment on the bullet as well, it seems unusual. It's always hard to guess the size of things in photos like this, but the casing appears to be semi-rimmed, suggesting use in an autoloading rifle, and the bullet looks larger than 30 caliber. Measuring the bullet diameter and case length with a micrometer would really help narrow it down. I'm guessing it's a .35 Remington:  @TodePond My hope/dream is that in the FoC/Merveilles/TodePond/Ink&Switch/Handmade/Mastodon nexus there is the beginnings of a scene akin to the one around Gertrude Stein's Salon in pre-war Paris: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gertrude_Stein#27_rue_de_Fleurus:_The_Stein_salon A scene will have inevitable disagreements. But hopefully this ferment is leading somewhere with answers. Pourquoi l'escargot est le symbole de la décroissance ? Réponse chez Ivan Illich dans Le Genre vernaculaire (1983) I made a card for MtG's Regional Championships! https://magic.gg/news/qualify-for-pro-tour-2-in-2025-and-earn-sweet-full-art-secret-lair-prize @sigrid Stanley has an issue with uxnemu on 9front which has to do with the sandboxing. He says that it's impossible to load any files because he gets a sand-boxing warning, do you have a few minutes to look into that for him? I can show you what steps to do to reproduce if you want : ) Let me know |
@neauoire I'm gonna be there! :3
