“@Teslarati But seriously, we could use a 2 level horn sound One that can be taken as a very polite "excuse me, but..." To sort of contrast it with the normal one which is often taken as road rage.”

Yeah. I used a chester hand horn for years with a lot of success. It even made people smile. Used it specific for when I had to move the car into areas usually reserved for people [mailman].

The unexpected perk of going cordless by elmineelmine (infullflow.net)
During our vacation I gifted Daughter a cordless headphone. She loves listening to audio stories when we’re driving so I took a subscription to Storytel. With a two week trial for free, I thought it would be an excellent way to listen to something new, instead of an entire vacation listening to th...

Gratulations on discovering the joys of cordless headphones, elmine. I’ve no idea how I could life without before. And that’s totally not sarcasm.

I got my first cordless headphone some years ago (and even cheap due to it’s colour – no idea why but that’s just how the algorithm at a certain huge online warehouse ticks). The trick is to look out for the frequency. Mine does 5 – 40.000 Hz and so I can really enjoy music during work for hours in superb quality.

We, coworkers and I, got to this after our office relocated and suddenly we were in the middle of a huge construction site that went on for months. Hard to concentrate with a plate vibrator next door all the time.

And I enjoy it ever since to disconnect from noise of all kinds. Traffic, buzzing and sometimes even from my kids play. Walking free with my favorite audio book or playlist and even without the need to raise the volume beyond good to drown the environment noise is simply great.

Downside is that I’m even more sensitive to noise nowadays. Uncertain if this is from the headphones or the electric car 😂

“Did you know, almost 1 in 6 of @Historic_Houses's member houses has had to sell a work of art to fund a repair bill, showing the very high costs involved with running them! #HeriatageMatters https://t.co/5Osx7MBRPP Image: The Picture Gallery @BelvoirCastle - a national treasure”

Expensive, yeah. Today I learnt about Tonge Hall and now I’m very sad.

IndieAuth for WordPress Question by David ShanskeDavid Shanske (david.shanske.com)
Thinking about the necessity of maintaining IndieAuth code in the Micropub plugin and now the Yarns Microsub plugin for WordPress. I wanted to put out to any WordPress user for some input. The IndieAuth plugin creates an IndieAuth endpoint inside your WordPress installation. This means that you logi...

IndieAuth plugin is fine for me. I have it installed and active anyway since it’s part of the suggested IndieWeb plugin collection for WordPress. In fact I feel more uneasy with auth functions crammed into other plugins where I don’t even expect them to be. Feels wrong to have such functions all over the place.

Eine POSSE! by Matthias PfefferleMatthias Pfefferle (notiz.blog)
Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere kurz POSSE ist ein zentraler Building Block des IndieWeb. POSSE is an abbreviation for Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere, a content publishing model that starts with posting content on your own domain first, then syndicating out copies to...

Ich muss teilweise zustimmen. Nicht alles muss überall hin geschickt werden.

Ich selbst arbeite noch am “Decluttering“ des eigenen Streams. Dazu ist aber erst einmal ein tieferes Verständnis darüber was da eigentlich passiert nötig.

Und hier sehe ich wiederum besonders die Plugins für beliebige CMS, wie WordPress, in der Pflicht. Installationen alleine mit Verweis auf ein Wiki genügt da nicht. Die Lernkurve ist hier steil und es ist viel Try and Error im Spiel.

ActivityPub und RSS sind da noch 2 ganz besondere Optionen, die Joe WebUser ggf nicht einmal auf dem Schirm hat. Das habe ich unlängst gerade auf einer Webseite einer UX Designerin erlebt, die mir blankes Unverständnis über die schlechte Verständlichkeit des Excerpt entgegen brachte, und es auf den Reader schob 😑
