It's a"let them eat cake" moment for the Republican party, only instead we're supposed to admire his gold-plated plumbing.

When people say "#Mastodon is like early Twitter," they often refer to the absence of algorithmic amplification & ads or the functionality set. But what makes it like early #Twitter in my opinion, isn't that.

It's that the #Fediverse enables you to easily connect with real, awesome humans from anywhere: makers, celebrities, community leaders, top experts in their fields. Just tag them with an honest post and you'll have wonderful interactions such as this one. 🤩

📷 It’s official!!

VSCO, one of the apps/products I’ve been using for the longest time, is organizing a Photo Walk in Lisbon (https://www.instagram.com/p/DQj7JEzkSYt/). The first one outside the US. Guess who’s thrilled, honored, and a little nervous to be hosting it? Yup.

Care to join (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/vsco-photo-walk-lisbon-tickets-1902712587569)? It would mean the world!

One of the (many) frustrating parts of trying to use free/open source tools for writing is that too many of them don’t realise that Oxford English spelling and British English spelling aren’t the same thing.

This is more common in the “trendier” corners of open source.

I've been writing more about how Web Standards *actually* come to be, and the responses make me think there's a ton more to discuss; so in the spirit of figuring it out together, AMA:

Oh. My. Goodness.

I'm giving a talk in November at #SFSCon about building Tŵt Cymru, and I was just adding the session to my calendar when I realised...

It's on #DefaidodonDay #DyddDefaidodon !!!

I am now going to have to figure out how to incorporate the hashtag into the presentation, and I expect everyone to pile in with their #SheepOfMastodon on the day.

I think I'll do a grand finale and load the FediWall up on a screen, assuming I have a screen behind me.

We're almost sold out of enamel pins, so I'm thinking about what we could do next. @Ameboid and I brainstormed some slogans that we think might fit on a pin. Just testing the waters here.

A weird milestone in adapting Emacs to more of what I currently do with Ulysses: adding a "copy as rich text" function which takes Markdown (or Org!) text and puts the rich text version on the clipboard. This is very Mac-specific, although I think it could be adapted to Linux.

Good news, hard times.

New South Korea law will turn large parking lots into solar power farms.

Mandatory Installation of Solar Panels in Public Parking Lots.

And It Will Apply Retroactively to Existing Facilities

Parking lots in South Korea with more than 80 spaces will be required to install solar canopies. But, unlike similar laws elsewhere, the new law doesn’t just apply to new construction – existing lots will have to comply.

Yay.

Better get a large supply of popcorn and watch this shitshow.
