If you use Mastodon on desktop (as opposed to mobile), I cannot praise highly enough Phanpy https://phanpy.social/ #phanpy
It really cleans up my timeline, handles replies very nicely, and allows for a great "refresh" (view updates) experience.

Somehow only just found out you can target specific folders in #Obsidian using CSS snippets and add custom icons... heeeck yeah!

I know there's a plugin that can do this - but it caused issues with Obsidian sync because it stores SVG files in your vault. This snippet on the other hand is just using emojis.

CSS snippet that makes this happen: /* Folder icons via holroy (https://forum.obsidian.md/u/holroy/summary)

This week, we're hitting the #Blender3D shop floor for a big design that (I hope) will ultimately become a #VR space for a conference.

So far... it's a doughnut.

Is this to remind attendees that they better getting running around this track to burn off eating too many pastries? We shall see...

I just searched for something on #DuckDuckGo and got a “DuckAssist” at the top of the results, right below the ads (of course).

It was basically a ChatGPT like message as if I’d typed the question there.

Stop 👏 putting 👏 #AI 👏 in 👏 every 👏 fucking 👏 thing!

What is it with this trend in comedy specials of doing orbiting shots around the comedian while they're on stage?

It makes it super obvious that you are now watching a re-enactment where the audience is pretending to hear the joke for the first time as the comedian pretends not to see the huge steadycam orbiting around their face.

Just stahp, it adds nothing and feels super phoney.

I want to see absolutely no sensible and practical advice here. What programming language should I start vaguely and in a chill way teaching myself if I just want to experience something fun or elegant or interesting in and of itself, assuming I have no goal for using it to do anything really (outside of learning)

WooCommerce migrated to a three-letter 'woo.com' domain that no doubt cost an arm and a leg and is now migrating back to 'woocommerce.com' after taking a hit to organic traffic.

Forget what the marketing folks at domain registrars say, a domain is only valuable after your hard work building it into something... and when Google plays nice...

Why is Windows so bad at basic file operations? Isn't this supposed to be a Disk Operating System? Copying files is slow and unpredictable. Canceling file copies are bizarrely slow. If a file is added to a directory, I have to manually refresh for Windows Explorer to notice.

There is, in my downloads folder, a file named "2019-07-02 gutenberg.org.tar.part". I don't remember downloading this. Windows claims it to be several hundred gigabytes larger than my hard drive.

I love that Adobe decided to add a laggy AI assistant to their already laggy PDF reader. Just good decisions all around folks, priorities right?

Another clanger from Microsoft -

• zero day vulnerability being exploited in Windows OS for six months in the wild by North Korea

• They didn’t tell anybody, took six months to make a patch

• released the patch without saying what happened

• didn’t mark it as a zero day in Microsoft Vulnerability Management

You’d think having the largest market cap in the world and having $2bn a year in revenue from security alone would allow.. uh.. investment.

Good. Let's have less of 'THE Creativity Software Company ™️' and instead have more options.

Tired of these anti-competitive software hoarders buying everyone up. The fact that they're just dropping XD after the deal falls through shows how lazy the process has become. Can't beat em? Buy em.

#Blender3D #animation

#Question
Who can tell me how to reorient an entire animation in blender.
I'd like to rotate the whole animation 1/4 turn around the X axis counter-clockwise.

Thanks for your help!

Qui pourrait me dire comment réorienter l'ensemble d'une animation dans blender.
J'aimerais faire pivoter toute l'animation d'un 1/4 de tour autour de l'axe des X dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d'une montre.

Merci !

Despite the 3.5" Magneto-Optical format's many advantages - A much larger, more reliable and resilient storage, bright backlight, and a high-resolution active matrix colour screen - it still failed to make inroads against sales of the older ubiquitous greyscale 3.5" floppy disk.

Started sketching out some ideas for a platform agnostic / activitypub enabled recommendation engine to replace the substack network effect. Probably as a simple embeddable widget.

Would you use something like that?

What would it need / how would you want it to work?

Just a friendly reminder for all those Doctor Who viewers who feel that the show is 'rewriting history' because of its recent portrayal of Isaac Newton: the Earth wasn't formed around a Racnoss space ship, the moon isn't a giant egg, the fall of Pompei wasn't caused by the Doctor, Vincent van Gogh didn't travel to the future to see his work appreciated in an art gallery etc. (See also: entire show)

#DoctorWho isn't how we record history folks, it not even in the same part of the library.
