Anyone using on & ? If so, what’s the good, bad and ugly about it all?

Note: I don’t want to get into a debate about the whole thing, or recommendations for other browsers. Thx.

I have come to the conclusion that my css skills are not great.

Anyone recommend resources for a speedy ramping up of all things css appreciated?

If I want to add a button to my blog for people to contact me via how do I do it? is there a standardized URI for XMPP I can use or a link to a web client?

Does anyone know if the current edition of the LG 5k monitor for the Mac still has reliability problems it had few years back or is it a worthy monitor to consider in 2023?

Just when you think there’s a lot in Safari 17.0, here comes the beta for Safari 17.1!

New Web Extensions API: adding support for storage.session.setAccessLevel, and updating storage.session to be accessed only by TRUSTED_CONTEXTS by default.

Plus, over 30 bug fixes.

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safari-release-notes/safari-17_1-release-notes

softinio,

@jensimmons thanks for sharing. Looking forward to updating.

Hoping one of the bug fixes resolves issues I have had lately with gmail and atlassion confluence which coincided with using 16.6.

softinio,

@jensimmons good to know thanks will do

I love Obsidian so much, and yet its iPad app drives me crazy. Two equally true statements.

softinio,

@viticci have you tried craft.do ? I went with that as I wanted a more native apple/Mac/iOS UX but I compromised on other things.

Hoping someone out there is working on best of both.

softinio, to NixOS

are Thinkpad T480 laptops good for running and doing nix related development on? i5 vs i7 processor?

@siracusa until I followed your headlamp advice on last week’s ATP, I was happily unaware of just how many spider webs were in my house. I was unaware, but I was happy. “Thanks.”

softinio,

@johnefrancis @ashfurrow @siracusa what was the advice? 😁

mike, to Vivaldi
@mike@fosstodon.org avatar

I know people complain about @Vivaldi being not fully open and being based on , but you just can't beat when it comes to features. I read a lot on the Internet, but sometimes I just don't have the time to do it right now. Vivaldi has an integrated which I can just add my current page to with relative ease. To make it easier, I created a to add the current tab to the Reading List and then close it. I put that chain on my toolbar with a custom icon.

softinio,

@mike think you will like arc browser! Give it a try!

softinio,

@finestructure I can access it via iPhone Safari but not on Mac safari. works on Mac with Chrome! Odd! All same wifi and internet provider.

OK, who can recommend a domain name registrar that:

  • Is boring and dependable and has a rock solid track record
  • Has a really good UI, including on mobile
  • Supports as many TLDs as possible
  • Isn't likely to get acquired by someone else
  • Ideally supports multiple payment methods as insurance against accidental card expiry

I'd settled on Google Domains... but they just sold themselves to Squarespace! https://9to5google.com/2023/06/15/google-domains-squarespace/

softinio,

@simon 100% same as you. My current plan is to move all my domains to cloudflare and for all tlds that cloudflare doesn’t support yet to porkbun
