He clearly needs a break. That wasn't cool.

My notes in #notion are slowly growing while preparing for the #cpacc exam using the #deque preparation course.

While I assume that the little quizzes don't represent the questions in the exam, they give me somewhat of an indication where I'm at.

Pretty much all of them were easy, but once they're gonna ask me for statistic numbers, I might be screwed.

Project announcement incoming! I'm happy to announce that @Myriam and I launched Neurospicy. It's an agency, a boutique consultancy and a project dedicated to neurodiversity - all rolled up into one.

It's still a MVP, but the idea is to have a place to offer different content around neurodiversity, including training, socks, and stickers. I have no idea where this is going, and honestly, this is the most fun part, dopamine rush?

“MrBeast is spending between $3-$5 million per video right now, up from ~$200,000 a video just a few years ago. … A MrBeast video is roughly the same cost per video as any episode from the first 5 seasons of Game Of Thrones.” — @ryanbroderick

When does this bubble burst?

Good news for Project Tapestry backers - we started sending out Wallaroo annual subscription codes yesterday for backers at the Linen level and above. If you backed at those levels and haven’t gotten an email yet, check your spam folder!

Additionally, if you've had problems receiving the code, try again! We were experiencing an issue with the system to distribute the codes initially but we believe it's been resolved. Thanks for your patience!

It's this variance of accents/dialects just within the UK that always makes me question why people want to "lose" their accent when speaking English as a second language.

https://front-end.social/@sarajw/112138870060262029

I sort of get it - and I know people even within the UK sometimes work hard to lose their regional accent.

But, as someone with a nondescript home counties accent in my English (and similarly Stockholm in my Swedish), I sometimes wish I had a hint of something more interesting in the way I speak.

Loving seeing all these #blog redesigns in my timeline. Usually that would make me think “ooooo maybe I should just…” which inevitably spirals into a nuke and pave of my entire site.

Not this time though. I don’t think I’ve ever been more happy with the design of my site, and with @getkirby at the back end, it’s perfect. 👌

Looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with though.

Reading Peter Pan, as for some reason I never did, never even saw the Disney cartoon.

It's sort of also a research reading, to see if I can read it to my children. The language isn't archaic, but the turn of phrase even within the first chapter or two is already full of reference to how things were in the early 1900s, I wonder if my kids will be able to grasp the meaning.

Or am I doing them down? I must have had old stories read to me? I read What Katy Did as a child. And the Just So Stories.

Online media can be overwhelming. It's fragmented between countless services, websites, social networks, and apps.

You need an app that weaves together an overview of nearly everything that’s happening across all the different services you follow.

That’s our vision for Project Tapestry, the new Kickstarter we're launching today.

As my online friends are now scattered across 4 or 5 social networks now, I’m wishing there were a better way to like/share/boost cross-posted content across a bunch of networks (from the original source).

Some kind of superboost feature?

How are y’all handling this?

With loads of help from @darius and some sleuthing about how to get around CORS (thanks, Netlify _redirects!), I'm no longer relying on a 3rd party to parse the RSS feeds into the little dashboard:

https://rs.sjoy.lol

I have chosen these feeds at random, I don't know if I'll try and make it too clever - I guess I could save the chosen feeds into local storage, so anyone could set this up per machine? Dunno.

Anyway, feel free to fork or whatevs: https://github.com/sarajw/rss-joy

sarajw, 4 months ago (edited 4 months ago) to random

Anyone know of good online tools that take in an RSS/Atom URL and spit out simple HTML?

I've found https://rss.bloople.net but it doesn't seem to like every feed I give it. Ditto https://nerdiedad.com/tools/rss-to-html. https://www.rssdog.com is a bit too opinionated and styles the output.

(I don't [yet...] have a server where I can host my own.)

“Nobody takes AI criticism seriously because it’s all lazy and badly thought out!”

Well, no, I and others tried the whole “let’s criticise this based on science, research and thoughtful arguments” and the response was just a firehose of diarrhoea nonsense wrapped up in a bow of mock-scientific theatrics and disingenuous falsehoods

Every single person—every single one of them—who is today complaining about the ‘quality’ of AI criticism spent months of outright ignoring thoughtful AI critique
