I'm going camping this weekend. This week has been amazing in so many ways, but I need to take a nice long relaxing break.

I want a good, yet inexpensive laptop. I’m not going to be doing much in the way of programming in this and most of the work will be web based. Should be small, and portable, with good battery life, and a decent screen. Mostly going to use it as my millennial “this is a computer email” tasks 😅

Any suggestions?

I have absolutely no limitations on operating system. I can make any of them work.

@chris Maaaaaaan I wanted to get one of these but they were just too expensive for the price point I was aiming for, and they're almost completely sold out right now.

Rightfully so, I've heard such good things about them.

Might end up getting one of these as my primary computer someday.

@chris you can cram 96GB of ram and an in one of their laptops 😂😅

1,199 isn’t a bad price though. I miss Linux.

Also I love that Krita falls under “everyday use” now. How far we’ve come.

Has anyone done a Maury lie detector meme with all of the things Google was actually doing in their SEO ranking that they claimed they weren’t doing? Seems like a pretty good fit 😅

Transitioning the Siren website from a pre-launch funnel to post-launch feels like peeling the plastic off of a brand new phone. So satisfying.

If you’re on the email list - keep a sharp eye on your inbox over the next hour or so. I’m sending out access to purchase Siren in-waves, and will start sending them out very soon.

Let’s gooooooo!!!

Launch day for email subscribers for Siren is tomorrow! I'm fine. Everything's fine. Nothing to see here.

This is your friendly reminder to change the batteries in your smoke alarms because, if you don’t, they are contractually obligated to chirp during the night.

@cdils ours don’t chirp. They, in the creepiest and poorest quality possible shout “REPLACE BATTERY” but at 3 AM it’s enough to make you jump out of your skin.

I’m pretty excited about this little quality of life update in the block editor. I habitually try to do this shortcut all the time!

If you have a VR headset, and are looking for a fun game to play with your kid, check out Davigo. One player is a boss, controlled by the VR headset and the other person is a knight, controlled by a PC. It’s a blast!

So this is kinda neat. I added a tiny little widget to my WordPress dashboard that allows me to speed up the process of publishing microposts (tweets) on my site.

@pch yeah, it’s literally something I just threw together - nothing really special or organized, just a single file plugin. Let me toss it up on a repo real quick.

@carstingaxion @pch thanks! Yeah, I was considering the idea of doing custom post types but went with post formats because I needed to use the app for when I post.

alexstandiford,
@alexstandiford@fosstodon.org avatar

@pch you can probably filter it out somehow. Maybe modify the query with a hook just before it’s called?

@pch it posts directly to the blog

If you only have a few things in the freezer, there are worse things to have chilled.

Three bottles of Victory’s Golden Monkey in an otherwise empty freezer.

This post explores how I’m tackling the support system around Siren, and how I think it’s going to stand out as top-tier support. I also add some hot-takes on how much I hate onboarding flows😅.

Should she be named Serena, or Melody?

@benlk @rachelnabors yeah, I haven’t got quite that far yet - been developing it kinda organically as I go. I definitely plan on hiring an illustrator in the future. I actually considered hiring someone to do pre-rigged 3D models so I can pose them in different ways, but that might be too much work on both ends.

Definitely want a Siren Wapuu
