Future WordCamps (especially the large ones) should take notes from how @xoxo is handling their programming because this is incredibly thoughtful. ♥️

I honestly don't want to spend the rest of my day futzing around with config files, so has anyone got a .wezterm.lua they like with sane defaults?

May the last command you type in iTerm2 be brew install --cask wezterm.

Heads up: You’ll totally have to pirate this new Nic Cage live-action Spider-Man show because it's on a service (MGM+) that nobody pays for.

I know some fediverse apps use various text/image detection technologies, so I was curious if this encourages the use of alt text.

The main thing I learned: Out of nearly 30,000 fediverse posts I looked at, almost 80% did not have information about the client app.

That was a bit surprising. And it makes doing this sort of analysis difficult.

Today I learned about Project 4K77, a fan lead project to scan and restore the the original 35mm prints of Star Wars: A New Hope. https://www.thestarwarstrilogy.com/project-4k77/

That same team has also released 4K80, a restored version of the original 35mm prints of Empire Strikes Back. https://www.thestarwarstrilogy.com/project-4k80/
#StarWars Thanks @genex for the info.

Just came to this quote in “A People’s History of the United States” and thought it worth sharing — even though May Day is almost over.

“If the workers of the world want to win, all they have to do is recognize their own solidarity. They have nothing to do but fold their arms and the world will stop. The workers are more powerful with their hands in their pockets than all the property of the capitalists.”

Me: I never eat frozen food!

Also me: I love yoshinoya frozen gyudon!

I’ve now changed my mind to accept culturally relevant frozen food

(Growing up in the tropics, we never had anything frozen. It’s more of a cultural bias from lack of exposure)

Yoshinoya is also what I spent all my pocket money on as a teenager, so it also makes me feel nostalgic even tho I can make better gyudon from scratch now
