crystal (chicky.blog)Remember this morning, when I was bitching about sleeping too late and not having the energy or ambition to do a workout? Well, I DID A WORKOUT TODAY! However, the only reason I got to do it was because they closed the place down for the day to do a deep cleaning. But I got paid for the whole day. B...
Frell. Hope that test comes back negative. Totally not a good time (if ever). All the best!
Jan-Lukas Else (jlelse.blog)I’m not really a TikTok user, but I have discovered a few accounts that are worth following. Since I don’t want to install TikTok under any circumstances and I don’t want to visit the website manually, I built myself a TikTok JSON Feed generator. This tool consists of only a few lines of JavaS...
I wonder why nobody wrote a TikTok plugin for rss-bridge (yet). Or Granary.io – both great tools to get back control over your feeds 👍
crystal (chicky.blog)DayTech is out of work and on quarantine for 2 weeks because her husband tested positive for Covid-19. The fill-in pharmacist just had to be told 4 times to move his car because it was blocking the dumpster, because every time the manager told him to move it he’d just nod and say “it’s a silve...

@edent (shkspr.mobi)My mate, the accessibility specialist Léonie Watson, has this to say about how we improve the world, piece-by-piece: Accessibility doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be a little bit better than yesterday. Source: Twitter Damn straight! One of the best ways we can make tomorrow slightly bett...
Guilty of that @Edent. Usually I upload images while writing (or use Indigenous for Android) where the alt text fields don’t show up at all or doesn’t make it to my media endpoint (bug?). So I’m going to add this later™ – and that never happens. Thanks for reminding me on accessibility!
Shame on me 🙁
I've been running Ubuntu 20.04 on my Thinkpad for a day or so. It's now setup to my workflow, so here are my thoughts on Ubuntu 20.04.
Huh, I wonder why Ubuntu has trouble with the dark mode. Looks fine on Fedora for ages (and also matches nicely with your CSS btw)

Evolution and Firefox are the only programs that give me a hard time for dark mode sometimes.
WordPress is a fantastic ecosystem with hundreds of thousands of plugins available. I wanted to talk about the WordPress plugins I use and why.
Interesting WordPress plugin lineup. Made me count my own and I’m up to 28. Most of this is IndieWeb or ActivityPub related. The only interesting additions are plugins to improve privacy of visitors. Namely Simple Local Avatars, Avatar Privacy, Shariff Wrapper, Disable Emojis (GDPR friendly) and Disable Embeds. Oh and the Creative Commons plugins 🙂
Hat tip @ndegruchy
crystal (chicky.blog)It’s been a long day, for a lot of reasons. First, Shawshank had court today, and I have no idea what’s happening with any of that shit. There’s no updates on the case information. Yesterday, we agreed he wouldn’t call until Friday unless something major was happening. I hate not knowing any...
Heh, a life without cats is pointless 😁 One of ours is chasing a fly right now and that’s sooo hilarious 😂

Je nachdem was man macht ist das nicht so wichtig. In meinem Fall gerade: Hauptsache dreht sich 😀
crystal (chicky [dot] blog)The Prison Book Club continues reading House of Leaves, over and over and over.
I’ve to admit I’m really curious about House of Leaves by now. Doing a lot of reading it never occurred to me to re-read passages or putting notes into a book at all. BTW I really like what you’re doing with your blog @crystal. Will you also enable backfeeds? You know I’m working on a POSSE provider for Okuna 😉
