@brandonwrites I had completely forgotten about these magazines, what a nostalgia trip.

Tangentially related: I was once mentioned in an issue of Playboy (US) and had to hunt down a copy on eBay and have it shipped to the UK so I could have the physical copy.

@brandonwrites I wrote about it 10 years on in this post if you’re interested https://rknight.me/blog/just-delete-me-ten-years-later/

Everyone knows I'm a watch geek, but I've now taken it one step further and added a watch wearing log to this site.

TIL you can use your filters in computed data if you use regular functions rather than arrow functions https://illtron.net/2023/01/11ty-directory-data-filters/
Very handy for the clean up I've been doing on my site. https://rknight.me/notes/202405200945/

I’m trans
I’m allergic to pollen
Pollen spikes in spring
Therefore, spring is transphobic

@nileane Can't argue with that logic.

@johnny If you're with a person with a valid license and you're insured, yeah.

@barrysampson A very good point - we've moved now so we have a driveway but previously it was awful where we were.

@niclake My mother was one of them, it was terrifying to be in a car with her.

By the way, follow @alt_text and it’ll follow you back and then when you forget to alt-text your images, it’ll send you a little toot!

Terrific service.

You know those warnings on cleaning products about possible chemical burns when using them?

Turns out they weren’t joking.

@nileane Yeah I’m fine it’s on the very minor end of it.

Warning labels are there to warn you about things. Who knew!

Anybody know what triggers a profile re-fetch in ?

After an instance accessed a remote account for the first time, it fetches name, avatar, number of followers etc. When will it fetch it next to potentially update?

robb,
@robb@social.lol avatar

@J12t The profile info like name, etc is trigger when the instance receives the event (user.updated I think).

As for posts/followers, I’ve never been clear on that.

robb,
@robb@social.lol avatar

@J12t Yep, Update on the actor is what I meant.

I’m not sure now? I suppose if someone looked up the user which would cause a fetch on the instance it would be updated? I’m a bit out of my depth with this part of it.

@robb Any timeline on when you plan on fixing the Letterboxd Echofeed? Currently, when I crosspost from Letterboxd RSS to Micro.blog, I’ve to manually enter the title of the movie with the rating on Micro.blog.
