Just heard our local news anchor spoonerize it as the “Hump Trush money case” and that is all I will be calling it now.

Inspired by this great idea I saw @robb blog about, which in turn was inspired by @hotdogsladies, I’ve created ‘A Gentle Intro’ for 4 artists. 3 are my all time favourites, and one is because Robb’s choice got me to listen to a whole lot of The Lonely Island.

🙋 Someone recently shared an app for macOS that lets you create a small window that acts as a separate display for screen sharing…

Does that sound familiar to anyone? Thanks! ☺️

(It’s super weird that my bookmarking technique of “simply memorize every link you’ve ever opened or intended to open” is failing me!!)

I would rather read your blog post with no header image than something you generated using some sort of AI.

Finally managed to publish my new website last night! ✨

Now that it’s online, I am extremely underwhelmed (of course). But also relieved that it won’t collect dust in the drawer like all the other attempts.

#weblogpomo2024 has been a fantastic opportunity to get me to write; it's also given me a chance to dig in to my site and update a ton of things along the way. (Shout out @robb @whatsie and @benbacardi for suggesting/assisting in some of these)

Today I wrote a blog post sharing omg.lol’s People Principles, because you have a right to know what we stand for. https://omglol.news/2024/05/26/omg-lols-people-principles

A tale as old as time: an influential man wants something from a woman. He asks for it, she says no, and then he takes it anyway.

There’s only one valid take on this: it’s wrong, full stop. There’s nothing else to say.

If you attempt to defend this, to explain it away, to point to technical details that suggest some level of nuance that might make it seem OK after all—why? Why is it so hard to acknowledge when a woman has been disrespected and someone has made a deeply unethical choice?

Desperate #Sunak tries to revitalise flailing campaign by opting for a swipe at his favourite punchbag - teenagers.

Not content with suggesting they study maths until 18, be banned from having a smart phone, banned from yesterday’s vice of smoking…he now wants them to plug the gaps carved out by #Tories in NHS and military for free…so he can get the vote of their grandparents

I'd been writing a post for #weblogpomo2024 talking about some of the more comical fuck-ups all of these #ai and #llm have been spewing. And now I'm fucking furious.

I made a new thing: slash pages dot net https://slashpages.net/

What is it? A guide to common pages you can add to your website. Thanks to @shellsharks
for the help in getting a good description together as well.

My blog post about it: https://rknight.me/blog/slash-pages/

Two #WeblogPoMo2024 posts in one day doesn't seem like a good idea this close to the end but yolo as the kids say

Absolutely no one:

Me: OKAY FINE! You can dynamically edit my CSS logo idea, now! Happy‽ (also downloads are for the non-edited version)

Sharing this for absolutely no reason at all: https://www.gov.uk/register-to-vote

Also a reminder that you need photo ID to vote, and that it can be an expired piece of photo ID provided the photo still looks like you

EDIT to add (with a hat-tip to @benofbrown ): you don't need photo ID to register for a postal vote

Manton’s takes on “AI” specifically and big companies in general exhibits a level of poor judgement that makes me really worried as an active user of micro.blog

The community there is fairly nice, but I really regret adopting it for my bookmarking/web notes all those years ago.

🤫 Hey. Psst. Guess what.

There’s no AI in omg.lol, and there never will be.

It’s just real humans with real hearts here, building and connecting and socializing. Exchanging our ideas, not ideas harvested from a model. Creating our own things, not watching something else build them for us.

The web that humans built 30 years ago is still here for us to use and enjoy together today. Some may try to suck out its soul and replace it with the latest shiny thing, but not here. Never here. ❤️🫂

I've covered @marioguzman's Apple Music remote control utilities before and the designs are amazing. QuickTune is no exception and a great trip back to OS X Tiger.
