Go back to the Garden of Eden with a bucket, grab all the apples, then head back.

We’re engaged. Will be getting married as soon as my deposit check for half the expenses clears.

Thanks, am on the beta now. Feedback sent via TestFlight.

Am not. Happy to jump on it if you can point me at instructions.

I mostly use it on an iPad mini in landscape mode, when lying down and casually reading. Two things:

1. When scrolling on the main feed, if your left or right finger accidentally touches the screen, instead of scrolling, you’re inside the post, which isn’t what you intended. So you have to be extra careful keeping your fingers away. Be nice if there was a 1 or 2" zone on each side which only does scroll instead of tap. Not sure I’m explaining it right.

2. Again, on an iPad mini, the Post box only shows a couple of lines for editing. Most of the screen is taken by application chrome.

Other than that, love the app. Use it daily.

C’mon, it writes itself.

Edit: OK, #trumptariffs. Don’t try to drink and spell kids.

I feel so honored. Got one of these today.

Anguished cries of my enemies.

Mwahahahaha!

Best recipe I had contained fresh sprigs of dill. Could also experiment with small crunchy veggies (carrots, cauliflower, etc).

Comcast/Xfinity. Installed home security equipment I told them wouldn’t work, then once it turned out it didn’t, they charged me $1000+ for the equipment that they took back, but somehow misplaced. Two years of calls later, they finally ground me down. It’s the one company I refuse to call for my elderly mother when she has trouble with them.

BofA is a close second. Emptied out my little kid’s saving account with fees (even though they said it was a free account when we opened it, so we didn’t bother checking the statements). Hit us up for multiple overdraft fees, then offered to return only three months’ worth of just the fees.

They can all burn in hell.

That’s the source code for Voyager. If you want to make any changes not supported in the UI, you could change the source, then rebuild the binary for your own device and upload it to your device.

The code, IIRC is based on https://ionic.io/ so changing the icons for the tabbar involve modifying the ionic tab-bar setting: https://ionicframework.com/docs/api/tab-bar.

Tetris.

There’s a divey bar 10m away where people have been watching results the last few years. Might head down there. Pretty sure it’ll be packed.

Alternative is to crawl into bed and wait till January.

Edit: we have a lot of local races (Mayor, City Council, propositions) on the line. Might hit the bar just to watch those and just ignore the national stuff.

One of the prime rules of storytelling is that the hero has to have a flaw.

Superman is super. He can’t lose. That’s why the writers introduced Kryptonite. Captain America is a super-soldier, but is still mortal. Thor is a god, but can lose his hammer and his powers.

The problem with Superhero movies is that they all got so much power they became invincible, and boring.

Good, classic storytelling beats VFX 10/10.

Years ago. Was visiting a client on-site. Meeting ran late and had to race home. Popped into a ‘natural’ food store to get something. Grabbed a package of pre-made ‘fresh’ shrimp spring rolls out of one of those open coolers. Ate in the car.

A 1.5 hour drive turned into a four hour nightmare with all the unplanned stops.

Never again.

Friend of mine used to volunteer for the local chapter of a well-known national non-profit. He tried to explain all the technical benefits of setting up a website, yada yada. The board didn’t care and were bored.

He finally set up a small demo on his own. Just a few screens. Ran a small test. Presented static screenshots, along with charts and stats on viewership and engagements. Had mockups of donation pages, volunteer signup screens, newsletters, etc. That was when people saw the value and got interested.

Nobody cares about decentralized social networks, the technology, or how terrible the other outlets are. For a municipality, you may want to focus on maintaining multiple channels of communications and ways to reach and engage the most users. You could then fold the fediverse into it as one more channel. Something they should keep an eye on. They’ll need a way to post the same content to all those channels with the least effort. Something easy that a trained intern or clerk can do.

Guarantee there will be questions of cost of setup, maintenance, and risks. May want to have some answers and slides ready.

There’s also a 50-year anniversary, 12-part, 99% Invisible series diving into it. Looking forward to listening to those alongside each section.

Obviously, you’re not a golfer.
