Anyone here leant into the idea of a digital garden? Perhaps you tried it and found it wasn't for you? Would love to check some out.

I've become more and more enamored with this idea.

I'd do away with published dates and a chronological list (For the most part, I still need to consider RSS) and I'd remove any pressure that a post needs to be fully finished to post it.

I could tend to the digital garden over time and nurture older, incomplete posts... if I wanted.

Why have I been sleeping on AVIF!? The site I tested it on isn't particularly image heavy, but turning 1.8 MB .png into 330 KB .avif is just an absolute win. All done on the fly thanks to the 11ty Image Plugin 💚

Enhancing my JavaScript knowledge bit by bit - today with a fun short clip by @cferdinandi and @kevinpowell; explaining var, let, and const - and when/where to use them for declaring a variable.

Still thinking about the porridge I made this morning. It was so so good! 😭

I experimented leaving the oats soaking over night - so when cooked up this morning it became so sooooo creamy.

• 1 cup Oats
• 1.5 cup Soy Vanilla Milk
• .5 cup Oat Milk (Soak them oats in oats)
• Pinch of salt
• Handful of golden raisins

We have ours with a spoon of peanut butter in the bowl, but another fav is crushed walnuts, goji berry, and cinnamon.

I'll forever be soaking them overnight from now on! 🥣

I was toying with the idea of sharing stuff for various projects on TikTok (An account for each project where it might make sense to do so)

and... I don't think I can - I get the ick every time I open the the website/app 🤮

Its basically all short video content too which I'm not really sure I want to lean in on (or at least, I haven't found an effective workflow for it yet)

I used to scoff at the idea of those Farming Simulator games, but now I'm sitting here thinking -

"Yeah I suppose operating agriculture equipment and farming some crops digitally could be kinda cosy?"

after getting an email from Steam telling me it's on sale. 🚜👨‍🌾

Had someone open two identical issues on GitHub. When I closed one of them as a duplicate, they replied “Thanks for nothing, Zach”

Got it!

It's a funny looking thing and might not be great for if I ever go climbing hills on my sportier bike - but I've not done that for a long time now. I'll keep the old one for that distant eventuality 😅

In case anyone wants to know, it's a medium Specialized Tone, heavily reduced at the moment, scores five stars in the Virginia Tech tests, has MIPS.

Am I crazy, or isn’t there a way to boost a post from another account in Mona? I seem to remember doing it. Long pressing the boost icon triggers that in Ivory, I thought it did the same in Mona.

We got our first 29°C today, and being sat next to the window I felt the blackout curtain just slowly radiate off heat onto my face 🥵

It's a bit drug-den vibes but I hear foil in the windows can help reflect away some of that heat? 👀

Re-recording done for our first YouTube video for the board game project! (Our first one one had to get scrapped because we were out of focus for the whole thing 😅)

I've never been in front of the camera before talking like this, so it's really taken the energy out of me. Anxiety, imposter syndrome, hating how my voice sounds? All that good stuff. Now to chuck 48GB worth of footage into Final Cut and see what I can turn it into 👀

Time to sell the Steam Deck - it was a great little gaming machine but I don't think I've used it in over a year 😬 and I can't see myself choosing to play on it any time soon either.

I've not really priced it yet, but if anyone is interested buying a 64GB Steam Deck (Upgraded to a 512GB NVMe) with case and docking station, you can send me a private message. It'll be shipped from Portugal.

Uh oh, I'm looking into note taking apps again. 👀

My pessimism for the Affinity acquisition was perhaps too strong yesterday?

Today I got this in my email, four pledges - here is a quote from the first

"If we do offer a subscription, it will only ever be as an option alongside the perpetual model, for those who prefer it. This fits with enabling Canva users to start adopting Affinity."

If they can stick to pledge 1, of always offering a perpetual license, then I can be happy with that.

Waking up to an email from Affinity today has put me in a miserable mood. They've been acquired by Canva.

I can't help feeling this software will go the way of subscriptions or enshitification as they blend the two together while adding in some AI for good measure 😔
