@pcambra I can't log in with the mastodon app. Is something wrong with the drupal.community server? (I've even tried sending myself the password to make sure it's not a typo.)
I really want a tool that I can just say 'tag next release' to, and it figures out by looking at git what the next release tag should be and makes it. Does anything exist to do that? (cc @mglaman)
New release of Action Link module lets you put the links directly into field formatters, and the field value updates with AJAX as well as the link. https://www.drupal.org/project/action_link#Drupal
What's a good #git strategy for developing tests when you need to run them on the feature branch and ALSO the main branch (so you can check they pass/fail respectively). I'm trying to keep two test branches in sync with cherry-picks and it's horribly faffy.
@organicmaps has been HUGELY useful for both planning and while away on holiday. I've downloaded maps of where we were going for offline use, so I can navigate without data or wifi. I've used it to find shops, playparks, restaurants, ice cream, and drinking water. With the bookmark feature I can make lists of useful spots ahead of time. I've filed LOTS of bugs in their issue queue because I'm a nitpicker and a magnet for bugs, but it's because I think it's a fantastic app with huge potential!
#HeatPump tip - download your gas usage data from your supplier BEFORE disconnecting your gas account, as in my case EDF have deleted it, so I can't compare my energy usage before and after the heat pump :(
I desperately need a plain text editor for MacOS that's good enough for things like git rebase, but isn't an IDE. That used to be TextMate, but it's buggy these days.
Saw in a bookshop that there's a new edition of Iain M. Banks' books. The spines all form a single motif, which is a nice touch, but also a sad reminder that he's dead and there'll be no more books.
Using @organicmaps to prepare my holiday itinerary - saving places to a bookmark list, downloading offline maps to my tablet. It's really great -- would be even better if I could order the bookmarks manually.
Why does an app having an update pending make it run like crap? Anytime #Firefox starts to be slow, it'll be because it's got an update ready to install. Similarly if my mac starts running like crap, it'll be Firefox, #VSCode, or #Slack which have an update. What causes the slowdown?
Web developers who make things that generate PDFs, tickets for trains and events for instance - please PLEASE PLEASE make the PDF filename USEFUL. The destination. The venue. My name. Not 'ticket.pdf' or a meaningless string of junk. MAKE IT USEFUL. #UX
The other day I was running tests on one of my contrib modules, and got a deprecation warning for a trait in #Drupal core that had been renamed. And my first thought was, 'Who the hell has been farting around renaming damn test traits, and what the hell for?'
Readers, it was me. I'd filed the issue to rename that test trait.
Controversial #Mastodon opinion - I miss the Algorithm. For instance, I follow the very nice @PersevereImgBot but it's a bit spammy. I'd like it if it didn't appear to much, or only the posts that get traction. What if Mastodon had its own version of the Algorithm? Or more than one, so you could pick your favourite, or indeed, write your own. And all open-source and documented.
