Something that would be a neat feature for the Calendlys / Cals of the world:

Some sort of "coupon code"-like feature where, if you want to allow a schedule override you can. e.g. if you normally schedule in CST (US) and need someone to have availability in Europe, you can give them a coupon-override to get earlier in the morning, or perhaps even a weekend (context dependent) to accommodate, rather than have your usual calendar avail just start at 5 AM on the regular.

What are your favorite cat follows? I just came across yesterday and I am obsessed with this cat.

Any more?

Soliciting hot takes below 🔥🧵

Given an organization or department at a company that is missing all of the common executive alignment documents (Vision Statement, Mission Statement, Values Statement, Strategic Plan, AOP, SWOT Analysis, OKRs, Communication Plan, Risk Management Plan, Collaboration Documents, ... etc)

Which one do you write first, and why?

Aside from the fact that this reads like torture, and I feel you:

Mekka is right, Mission. I'd organize them in their dependency chain, and Mission does inform the rest of it.

Gotta appreciate the irony of using the internet to validate an internet outage.

If the US government really had alien bodies, then the US president would know about it.

If the US president knew about it, then Trump would know about it.

If Trump knew about it, he would have told everyone, bragged about it, kept boxes of documents about it at Mar-A-Lago, etc. There would be a ketchup stained original photograph of an alien autopsy on the floor of his bathroom.

Since we haven't heard him brag about having seen a photo of an alien, we know that he hasn't seen one.

God, it breaks my heart that our biggest proof against non-terrestrial space faring species making contact with us is TRUMP.

Had a great time at @monitorama this past week. It's one of my favorite conferences ever, sincerely, and if you haven't been to one I strongly recommend keeping it on your radar to attend. ❤️

Finally figured out the reason that webcams were weird on Vivaldi is because apparently Google Meet is "autoplay" so disabling that caused shenanigans.

Seeing my East Coast friends getting inundated with West Coast Wildfire Problems is a whole new phase of the climate crisis grieving process.

What do we all think of Chromebook's as a starter laptop for someone wishing to learn to program? Like a very basic computer just to give someone a chance at a career in tech

Edit: this Post is also a year old, I don't need replies anymore

@thisismissem I think the main issue that I've seen is that people aren't able to run certain dev tools locally. I know Github spaces can solve some of this, but depending on what tooling they're looking to use they may need a standard BASH / ZSH terminal at some point, which IIRC you can't do with a Chromebook. Is there anything stopping someone from running Ubuntu / similar on a Chromebook? That might be the way to go, actually.

Reminder for those with our fuzzy companions: check the temperatures of sidewalks / asphalt before having your pup walk with their bare toe beans. It might be too hot! 🐶

Call for info - primarily for BlackMastodon, but also for anyone in a historically underrepresented group who finds themselves frequently needing to educate those in overrepresented groups. On behalf of the Hachyderm mods: we see you, we want to help. Proposal:

  • What: Curated, attributed list of work including people to follow, hashtags, and other resources
  • Location: our user documentation
  • Goal: create a resource for people to see / reference, rather than have the same conversation 50x.

@liztai

Of course! The original request put the request for Black Mastodon and other underrepresented groups - the intention for the phrasing was to ensure that groups were being represented by members rather than non-members, i.e. not who white people might recommend, but who members of the group itself recommends. Does that help? :blobfoxheartcute:

quintessence,
@quintessence@hachyderm.io avatar

@liztai Yes, basically. The original plan was to work with the impacted group and see how they'd like information presented, as one of the voiced concerns (if listing people, Follow Friday style) is that it might drive people into mentions that shouldn't be there / that are harmful.

If you'd be interested in discussing, I'd be happy to discuss with you more :D
