Jan-Lukas Else (jlelse.blog)Google is introducing new policies to cause data in unused products to be deleted after extended periods of inactivity. For example, anyone who has uploaded photos to Google Photos but does not use Google Photos for two years will have their photos automatically deleted. This is yet another reminder...
Google Photos? Inactivity? Haha. I lost count of how many times I disabled this to find it enabled after some months again for unknown reasons.
Hard to kill.
For the next week, I’ll be giving the free trial of Inkl a go. It’s a news aggregator; the idea is they pay news outlets for their articles, and you pay Inkl for the clean ad-free interface and the warm fuzzies of helping to keep journalism limping along.
Inkl is an app, no? There is no feed (with a token) I could subscribe to if I understood this correctly.
And it was almost interesting.
Mebbe you are the product using Netlify’s free hosting. Mebbe they’ll eventually cost and limit service. This is fine as long as they can not hold your stuff hostage. Since you’re in control of the domain you can move whenever it seems appropriate.
Liam Dawe (gamingonlinux.com)inXile Entertainment have today officially released Wasteland 3 for Linux (and macOS), following on from their successful Fig campaign in 2016 and Windows release in August 2020. Acting as a sequel to their 2014 hit, Wasteland 3 is a squad-based RPG with challenging tactical turn-based combat and ...
Uh oh. Wasteland 3 is finally released for #Linux PC?
I’ll be in my bunk.
Ru Singh (rusingh.com)Moving off GitHub: I'm moving Celestial's primary development away from GitHub, which will only get the occasional pushes from now on. Issues were already imported into the new host a while ago, but the project kanban boards will need to set up manually. I don't think Gitea...
Thinking of moving to Gitea too. Did you follow some specific howto or did you just rtfm? Very interested in a guide here 😆
crystal (chicky.blog)When BossRPh left, she didn’t tell anyone she was leaving. There were no goodbyes to patients she liked, she just up and disappeared. Patients are just starting to really notice she’s not there anymore, and ask questions. They’ve suddenly realized it’s not just a weird fluke and they’ve co...
Wish I’d have thought of something like this on a job before. That’s such a nice idea.
Makes the whole thing of leaving more real.
This even happens on social media all the time. You read someone for years only to eventually discover after months that an account is gone or dead in the water leaving you wonder what happened.
As of yesterday, I’ve now had this site on Micro.blog for two weeks. So far, I’ve really been enjoying the experience. It’s been interesting to realise that I actually do have lots to share when I have a consolidated space that feels like mine to share them, and rather than letting those stray...
Geez. What’s it with providers “selecting” what features are best for people? This is a huge let-down by micro.blog. The standard on Likes is well defined and used by many peoples and platforms. The beauty about Webmentions is _that_ the user has the choice what to do with them (and how). Not supporting this officially for a higher cause as a provider is highly opinionated (read BS). And since it’s just HTML you can do it anyway if you’re willing to jump the hoops.
You _could_ e.g. redefine your Webmention endpoint, and use another one. Self hosted or e.g. from webmention.io – may be a pain in the neck to integrate on a foreign platform though.
( And while on it could connect to backfeeding services like brid.gy 🙂
@edent (shkspr.mobi)When I was a small child, I took an IQ test. One of the first questions I stumbled on was “A piece of candy costs 25¢. Jonny has a dime. How many nickels does he need to buy the candy?” My 7-year old brain popped. WTAF is a nickel? Or a dime for that matter? We don’t have those coins in my co...
I never knew what exactly put me off on the most used captcha system out there but now I do. It’s not only the foreign language but the assumption I’d know what the pictures are about at all.
BTW we usually have taxis in RAL 1015 (light ivory) here in Germany but nowadays other colours are possible – just not very common.
crystal (chicky.blog)Chinese takeout and self-pity are on the Thanksgiving menu today. Like this:Like Loading... This year, I won’t blow smoke up anyone’s ass about how thankful I am for things. Shawshank‘s been gone for 279 days. I’ve had to take care of myself since that morning – and that was even before th...
Rooting for you @crystal. You’ll make it! (And your BossRPh rocks).
Jan-Lukas Else (jlelse.blog)Did you know that there are official example domains that can be used in documentation? example.com, example.net and example.org are all example domains of the IANA, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, which are explicitly intended for use in documentation.1 In documentations or even in sample ...
Nice. Didn’t know, may use now 🙂
