@Elendol Yay. Do say hi if you do :)

Today @ 18:30 in Dublin: Come hear me talk about the Small Web and watch me demonstrate the current state of Kitten, Domain, and Place.

Gotta say, after a transactional OS like Fedora Silverblue where you always run the latest OS, everyday, with tiny, atomic updates; downloading a 5GB file to update macOS feels downright ancient.

(Mind you, I believe Fedora are in the process of screwing that up – at least in the short term – with their upcoming container-based updates because, of course, the ultimate customer is enterprise¹.)

"She said she had a #miscarriage — then got arrested under an #abortion law"

'...five men eyed Frazier from the driveway

...hands on their holsters as if bracing to shoot.

Frazier told the female sheriff’s deputy that her boyfriend wasn’t home

...the 26-year-old had a terrifying realization.

The officers were there for her.

Earlier that month, Frazier had shared a #Facebook post about the son she lost.'

@PierricD Yep, Orwell was clearly worried about the wrong type of autocracy taking hold.

What 1984 forgot to mention is that you’d have to buy the telescreens.

@molly0xfff His profession? Being a cunt is a profession now, is it?

Wow, I only just realised (using Laura’s five-year-old hand-me-down MacBook Pro) that when you use Keynote on a MBP that has a touch bar, you basically get your presenter display on it. That’s amazing. Especially given you don’t always have the luxury of one at smaller events and/or if you’re live coding but also have slides.

Damn… wish they hadn’t discontinued those now :)

@debacle @gytisrepecka Thank you; appreciate it :)

Time to throw Israel out of the UN yet? https://frontrange.co/@ajnewsbot/113386778920787783

@PhoenixSerenity Excellent speech; thank you 💕

@eobet Yep.

@UncensoredNews Thanks but the talk was about four years ago. Not ruling out coming back though :)

@gminks @xinit Haha, no, sadly I’m far too linguistically-challenged for that to have been the case :)

@zachleat @stefan In case anyone is thinking of putting that on a public facing web site, you should know that it makes a call to a Google-run web site to get the data, which will mean you’ll have to declare that in your (violation of) privacy policy.

@yatil Given it’s an indie dev, if it does and he doesn’t have time, maybe we can convince him to open source it and we can help :)

@villebooks One can only hope :)

If you’re looking for a browser extension like Stylus (which lets you override browser styles, scoped to specific sites) for Safari on macOS, check out Cascadea. It’s by an independent developer (Mike Freuden), doesn’t farm you for your data, and seems to do what it says on the tin (in my limited few minutes of testing right now¹) :)

¹ I’m using it to hide the controls on the local export of my slides.com presentation.
