Two years on the job as of today.

I think that’s a professional record I haven’t broken since… 2019? 😬

@jgarber "Hey Meta AI, what the fuck is all this shit I have to look at anytime I want to search?"

So, informed users that an unnamed actor gained access to an administrator's account. Not great.

In the announcement:

> The information accessed for each of the affected members included their email address, private lists, private watchlist (if enabled), and deleted content.

"Deleted content,” you say…? 🫠

@robb The email was sent on Friday the 15th of March and references a security incident that apparently occurred on the 15th of February.

@jgarber Weird, I definitely didn't get that.

A free, not-entirely-thought-out @eleventy idea: Template Generators.

• adds an eleventy generate [template] command,
--templates-path defaults to _templates in src directory,
• interactive prompts for variables defined in template front matter
• optional dynamic flags on the command line that fill in the same (e.g. eleventy generate post --title “My post title!”)
• drops a processed template to the "right" place in src directory

If nothing else, this weird experience has been a reminder that the @eleventy community—and @zachleat in particular—are good people.

@aardrian Thanks! I appreciate your feedback and expertise. Adjusting my example and updating the docs with guidance is now on my to-do list.

I’m also thinking about dispatching an event when the component’s state changes. Authors using the component could listen for the event and do focus management, etc. based on circumstance and best practices.

That might allow for accessible use with multiple regions in non-consecutive source order? Maybe as an announcement using live regions?

@jgarber At the risk of you taking this the wrong way, sure, dispatch an event, but do not suggest either the navigation (multiple regions or not) nor live regions.

You need to understand how those are exposed to users and how they can mess with users.

So unless you are running tests with daily SR users across a few SR/browser combos, maybe no.

Dipping my toe into The Discourse…

Nothing dictates that receiving a Webmention means you’re bound to display its source content on your website.

You could…

• forward the Webmention to your email,
• build a private notifications dashboard (with or without a moderation queue),
• add a link to the source page to your website without including its content,
• do something wild like set up an auto responder to the original author thanking them for the like/boost/reply,
• etc. etc. etc.

A related and riff:

Add to your website and allow others to sign in. They’d be able to view a dashboard of the content they’d posted that made its way onto your website. Maybe add some lightweight self-service moderation controls?

stegrainer,
@stegrainer@mastodon.social avatar

@jgarber That takes the concept further and further into nerd-only territory.

I like the concept of the IndieWeb but so much of it is fiddly and requires dev experience that it’s hard to imagine someone who just wants to write and share their own content ever succeeding in implementing it well.

“Can you lie down on your back and watch a movie on the ceiling like Tim Cook and have the back of your head be comfortable?

“Sure. I watched 20 minutes of Moana while staring up at the blue sky and clouds above Joshua Tree and it was so tranquil and comfortable that my wife thought I was asleep.”

bro you were at joshua tree with your life partner and this is what you do

you’re lucky she didn’t leave your ass in the desert

@jgarber I'm fairly certain that he was referring to one of the virtual environments within Vision Pro:

https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/12/11/more-apple-vision-pro-environments-surface-to-show-where-you-can-virtually-be

Joshua Tree is supposedly one of them.

My guess is he was laying on the floor in his house but the movie was playing in the sky of a Joshua Tree virtual environment.

Click on the specific alarm in the Clock app, turn off snooze, and the big button becomes “Stop.”

@jgarber But can I turn off the option to Snooze altogether? I never use it.

Seen in the README of a particular React-based website’s repository:

“Due to being a static site, there can be no SSR”

🥴

Least favorite @1password for macOS feature: how it frequently foregrounds Safari for seemingly arbitrary and unknowable reasons.

Supposing they didn’t spend any of that mountain of VC debt on QA staff.

With the impending shutdown (or Kindle integration or whatever) around the corner, I carved out spare minutes over the weekend to download the DRM-free (though possibly watermarked) CBZ and PDF files from .

From a purchased library of nearly 1,000 books, between 200 and 300 were available in this manner. 🫠

There is no bulk download, pagination maxes out at 50, and the user interface is incredibly finicky. Every single download requires assenting to a modal dialog. 🫠

jgarber,
@jgarber@mastodon.cc avatar

The next step is/was to download and umm liberate the entire purchased library. The app’s support for comics is worse than ’s app (which itself was mediocre) and I have no desire to be locked into that ecosystem.

Downloading a library of nearly 1,000 books is even more tedious. In the abandoned Kindle macOS app, it’s one-at-a-time. 🫠

You can go do a “send to device” workflow but pagination is limited to 25 books per page and doesn’t guarantee they’ll download. 🫠

stegrainer,
@stegrainer@mastodon.social avatar

@jgarber I did this recently for my regular Kindle books when I moved to using the Kobo reader. I don’t envy your pain. Are there good 3rd party options for reading / storing / whatever’ing comic files?
