I recently started adding ShareOpenly links to my weblog posts!

I have a little short code for it, where I just plug in the title and URL of the post and plop it at the end of the content.

and now I need to add the SVG icon to my template

Opinion: new logo icon or old generic icon?

A ShareOpenly link with a generic icon.

Anybody else seeing a lot of 503 errors today?

And by “a lot” I mean two or three since this morning.

I have not seen this yet today, but I also have not been in the omg.lol UI yet today. Still writing in Drafts atm.

@niclake "Anchor positioning is currently only supported in Chrome with experimental platform features enabled, You’ll need to view this article in a supporting browser in order to see the demos." is pointed out right at the beginning.

Lazy web (do we still say that?): give me your side note implementation links! Have you see an awesome example, have one you did yourself, or seen it written about—please let me know! I'm on the lookout for my own curiosity but I also want to play around with it myself and maybe write something.

@robb holy shit, I will never write anything better than this, but maybe I can write something less exhaustive and more as an afterthought to what I wrote yesterday

thanks for the link!

I have a chicken and egg problem.

When I publish a blog article I want to include a link to a corresponding Mastodon post. To write the Mastodon post, the article needs to be live. But to publish the blog article, I need the URL to the Mastodon post. But I don’t know the Mastodon post URL until I publish it. Ahhhhh!!

Am I really going to have to deploy my site, post a toot, then turn around and add the link to my site and deploy again? Ugh, there’s got to be a better way.

@bw same, I've just resigned to editing the blog post

you could probably do this with some sort of webhook

@anniegreens@social.lol avatar

@bw I think @cory is doing something like this, though I don't know the particulars.

☎️ Waiting for a phone call may be one of the worst things in the world.

anniegreens,
@anniegreens@social.lol avatar

In classic fashion, stepped outside (phone in pocket!) and missed the dang call!

anniegreens,
@anniegreens@social.lol avatar

Okay, so, proposal to get rid of the phone part of our pocket computers, go back to having a single solitary place for a call, which defaults to a message/voicemail, and is the expected result of calling said phone, instead of this stupid always-with-you-yet-you-never-get-or-take-the-call game we are playing now.

    Strum Machine

    I mostly play old time and bluegrass music. Particularly in old time and fiddle songs, the songs have a fairly rigid and repetitious structure. That's not to say players don't do interesting things with it, but unless a song is intentionally crooked, the structure of the song remains the same throughout. A typical structure is AABB. That is, play the "A part" twice, play the "B part" twice, and repeat.

    @chriscoyier Have you ever been to the Wheeler County Bluegrass Festival in Fossil, OR? I accidentally happened upon it one year while out in the area going to John Day and Painted Hills.

    Catching up on ShopTalk Show episodes today and can't wait to get the answer to "is taking a Drupal job in 2024 a good idea".

    anniegreens,

    @starshaped My issue is probably not entirely on Drupal, but with web tech generally, and I've blogged about that. It just happened to manifest with Drupal because that is what I lived in for so long.
