I took a nap earlier and woke up a bit loopy. The feeling has faded, but still there, feeling dizzy. It’s weird for a cold. Tested for fever and covid again, both negative. I don’t feel horrible, more like weird and weak. Do not like.
@lmika depending on the weather, a nice walk with a cup of coffee at the end sounds excellent!
I know crontab works on macOS, but I wanted to utilize something more “as intended.” Ended up with an Automator workflow that executes a shell command every weekend. The calendar GUI is way more “human” than crontab!
chatGPT was a boon. Sometimes AI is exactly what it’s supposed to be: a helper.
Sick day. What started yesterday as annoyance became more obvious today. Now, I have to slow down.
Also, man, this photo is overprocessed.
@manton isn't a credit card required to sign up? I know many apps and programs do this thing where you can opt out after two weeks and don't get charged... maybe that's an option.
In any case, locking down until after the elections sounds reasonable. My two cents.
I was just asked for an ID in the supermarket because I bought a six pack. I lifted my cap, showing my bald head: “is this good enough?”
We both had had a laugh and I have my beer. 🍻 Fun moments.
@eludom Amazon's cloud. MB will create a text-only version of the article there, so you can access from a public link.
@amerpie oooooof!! I hope that wasn't your tent. It looks like a very near miss!
While it doesn’t come as a big surprise, this article supplies us with evidence and data that we’re not going crazy: our toilet paper is getting smaller:
Why toilet paper keeps getting smaller and smaller thehustle.co
It’s not just a conspiracy. Toilet papers are getting smaller.

@eludom not sure what you mean, there is an automatic archive page. What are you trying to do?
@eludom If you don't use Micro.blogs bookmarks (read it later feature) I highly recommend you try it. I use it all the time. Strips nonsense, creates a clean version on AWS that's always there (public link) and comfortable to read on phone.
@amerpie I like it a lot, but 9 out of 10 when I check it out it's yet another web developer or a coder... Not that I have something against them, but it does get boring after a while. Need more variety.
@eludom will check first. For second thing... I mostly have the usual suspects on mine (now that you here I should add you). You can have more than one list (I do). Helps with a list of "friends" vs a list of "emacs geeky stuff" vs maybe hiking in your case :)
@numericcitizen I started feeling this way when Trump got elected (yes it was that long ago). Everywhere I looked was about him & NYTs made it worse with stuff like "Trump eat McDonlands in Bed!" and "Trump says his 'rocket' is bigger than Kim Jon Un" and all sorts of crap. Needless to say, things are not much different now.
Good riddance. They’ve lost their way and have been pushing their political agenda ahead of their objective news coverage for too long.
WSJ and AP News for me.
@jwd630 thank you. That's a script I wrote 5 years ago and the date got messed up as of it was today. Nevertheless, thanks for this great find!
@eludom this was supposed to go to my archive in 2019... Bad import that didn't go as well.
I enjoy these walks that end on a bench somewhere, looking at the leaves, feeling grateful for places such as these.
@jack "Fuckin' Musk." That's a phrase, my friend. Or as the youngsters say - mood.
@jthingelstad another sensible solution from you to a problem I have and just put up with. I used to have those with Proton mail, but at some point I fell out of habit (it's so easy to just put in the default email).
I woke up a second time (this is what happened the first time) and cleaned out my projects in Emacs. I had 12 projects, a mix of finished, canceled, and active ones, but now it’s down to 4 💪.
@jabel and then my brain did things: taonaw.com/2024/08/3...
I’ve noticed several times now that certain apps I installed on the Mac “disappear” or lose the permissions I gave them before.
TechSmith’s Snaggit is one example, and Grammarly is another. I’m still on Sonoma. Is this a thing other experience?
taonaw.comAfter waking up several times with thoughts and brainstorming sessions during the night, I decided to work with a pocket notebook 📓 again.
Unlike my phone, it doesn’t have emails and messages waiting to grab my attention, or a screen to shine into my eyes.
@manton Yes, this seems to work! Thanks, I didn't realize I needed to press the little image icon.
@manton but how do you get those? I guess it's a workflow question. I want to post an image from iOS, and I want the AI description included inside the HTML alt tags in the post.
@manton imo one of those things AI is good and should be used for... By the way, any way to get it to work on photos uploaded from the iOS app?
@bsag it was good to read this post, a lot of good information. I use a Mac for work mostly, and have windows and Linux for other activities. Linux came a long way for sure.
@eludom how is it going with MB so far? You had (still having?) some importing pains, are you good now?
An opportunity showed itself at work and I grabbed it. It’s been a lot of work, since I still have all the responsibility of my current role while I’m stepping into the new one. Writing here slowed down a bit as a result, hope to write more tomorrow.
Good night all, hope your week was exciting!
@eludom there is a plug in for that I believe. Check under their plug ins, useful things there
@eludom another workaround is to keep a photo blog or a photo platform that works with RSS (like your wordpress blog) and create a photo page that automatically updates from the RSS (that’s one of MB’s tricks) but it mean you keep updating that platform.
I use this for my games and movies pages.
@eludom sorry for the delay. Afaik, yes, one picture at a time from the web interface. To get around that I use Sunlit, which is the photo dedicated app on iOS (android version should also exist).
I would think the import option would have that , but at this point you’re more experienced than me.
So I made the salad from fresh farmer’s market vegetables. Cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, garlic, dill. All fine cut with a manual shredder I got as a gift years ago. Very juicy with lemon, salt and pepper, this qualifies as an Israeli salad.
I’m not an art expert, but this looks like a piece of junk they pulled out of the water. It’s an eyesore in this otherwise green park. 📷
I’m not a big cook, but I used to make some things at home. Salads, homemade hummus, guacamole, pastas… I’m getting tired of sandwiches, and cheese is not something I do as well anymore, so I think it’s time to get back to some of those. 🥗🍝🥑
I get peaches at the farmer’s market down the block. I have to wait two days before they’re ready to be eaten, but they’re worth the wait. 📷
