Oh, hey. Scribbles is testing embeds, so let's test with this awesome Mutoid Man show. Highlights: • "Date with the Devil" at 9:00 • "Kiss of Death" at 30:26 • "Purple Rain" (!) at 38:00 ... and they tear the doors off "Bridge Burner" at 48:00 for the finale. 🤘❤️🔥🤘[YouTube Video]
"The reason websites continue to load, bank transfers go through, and civilization persists is because of the thousand or so people living aboard 20-some ships stationed around the world" #internet #technology 🍜 The invisible seafaring industry that keeps the internet afloat https://www.theverge.com/c/24070570/internet-cables-undersea-deep-repair-ships
"In several areas of the city, pollution levels were more than 50 times higher than the World Health Organization’s recommended safe limit." #india #pollution #health 🍜 Severe Delhi AQI: GRAP-4 curbs imposed as air pollution chokes capital / AP News https://apnews.com/article/new-delhi-air-pollution-india-ae1ec1e6292009db198f18b113047cd5
• 🐛🧹 Fixed an issue with years being cut off on the charts, so I kept it simple and removed the year. Also tweaked the chart to just show the text "Views" and "Unique" to make it a little shorter.
I'd love to make a web based journaling app — I have some great ideas, and a domain name, but I know that I'll never use it... that's already the first red flag... although, hmmm, maybe it would make me start because sometimes I just want to write to let go of things (hence I blog).
Too much sugar lately. Christmas time = lots of sweets 🍬 My guts are feeling it.
• 👾🚀 Added preliminary support for shortcodes within the editor. This is super basic right now. For YouTube embeds use: `{{yt:1234567}}` with 123456 being the video code, similar you can also add Vimeo: `{{vimeo:1234567}}`. Next year I will work on a more dynamic way to pick a shortcode where it allows you to just add it without trying to remember. Of note, embeds within text will not work, so they have to be added on their own line. Still a little experimental.
“Il governo Meloni bocciato sul clima: Italia 43esima nel mondo. Colpa delle centrali a carbone e della lentezza sulle rinnovabili” https://www.open.online/2024/11/20/cop29-classifica-performance-clima-italia-bocciata/
• 🐛 Fixed an issue where the new page width setting wouldn't apply to the category pages (because I missed it). • 🐛 Fixed an issue where some custom CSS wasn't rendered correctly when it contained quotes.
I have made a Shortcut that can be used in Unread 4.3 to add an article to a file in iA Writer named with the current week of the year and year (eg Link-Dump-Week47-2024). Each week a new file will be created automatically and every link from Unread will be appended for that week. A great way to quickly make a blog post for my favourite links of the week. Of course this could be modified for other apps like Drafts. I started the idea using Apple Notes. https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/79cefd815fef4a9e9b1636b4e0f5d557
1. My morning routine now includes spending some time on Bluesky to get some news and to keep experiencing with this platform. 2. At one point I was very effective on Twitter to filter out the content by different channels using Twitter lists. I'd like to do the same eventually on Bluesky. 3. For now, my Bluesky usage is heavily skewed toward following news about the war in Ukraine and somewhat engaging with the community around that subject. I expect this will evolve over time. 4. I feel that Bluesky is what Twitter should have become. 5. I don't see...
“I settori più finanziati dai sussidi ambientalmente dannosi sono quello energetico, 43,3 miliardi di euro, il settore dei trasporti (12 miliardi di euro), e quello edile, 18 miliardi di euro investiti con un aumento di un miliardo rispetto all’anno precedente.” https://www.ultimavoce.it/report-di-legambiente-78-miliardi-nel-fossile/
On most modern Macs, the later Intel builds and all Apple Silicon models, you can boot into recovery mode, access disk utility and download and install a new operating system. Unless you can't. Then you have a problem. Or, maybe you are experimenting with Open Core Legacy Patcher to install a later version of macOS on a device that doesn't officially support it. In that case, you are going to need a copy of an OS, preferably bootable, and some sort of media to copy that OS installation onto. You can do the installation through other methods, like target disk mode...

Starship Flight 6 today, in about an hour. Looking forward to it.
“È partita nei giorni scorsi la sperimentazione del 5G Broadcast da parte di RAI in due città italiane. Nel 2025 verrà estesa ad altre città. Al momento non ci sono smartphone compatibili” https://dday.it/redazione/51140/a-roma-e-torino-parte-il-5g-broadcast-rai-la-tv-sugli-smartphone-senza-consumare-gb
"I will keep using Bluesky and Mastodon for now. I find interesting content on both. But I will not live under the illusion that Bluesky is the same as Mastodon when it comes to decentralization and openness." #mastodon #bluesky 🍜 Thoughts on Bluesky - Can's blog https://canolcer.com/post/thoughts-on-bluesky/
"These, however, show a slightly different side of the public transport experience.

The social media platform, Bluesky, has been getting a lot of press lately as a mass migration from X has taken place over the past two weeks. Bluesky has added nearly five million new users. For any Mac users wanting more than the default web interface, there are a few tools available. Deck BlueTo mimic the old Tweetdeck experience, Deck Blue is your best bet. Best run as a progressive web app through any browser that supports the feature, Deck Blue offers a customizable multi-column interface. You can set how often you want the page refreshed, and you can...
I'm trying a few new apps to enhance my daily setup. Specifically Raycast with its powerful extensions and Arc instead of Safari. My goal is to use more keyboard and less mouse. Oh... and I had a week with heavy assets creation and optimization. For that Im using Clop. Works great so far.
“nel 2023 in Italia duecentomila bambini tra 0 e 5 anni hanno vissuto in povertà alimentare ovvero in famiglie che non sono riuscite a garantire ai propri figli almeno un pasto proteico ogni due giorni. Si tratta dell’8,5% del totale dei bambini e oltre la metà risiede al Sud e nelle isole, dove la percentuale sale al 12,9%, contro il 6,7% del Centro e il 6,1% del Nord.” https://www.lanotiziagiornale.it/litalia-nella-morsa-della-poverta-dilaga-quella-tra-i-bambini/

I found out Todoist is introducing Deadlines to their task manager. What took them so long?
Since I’m displaying lots of photos and artwork on my Scribbles blogs, I was excited to see this announcement from Vincent: “Added an option to tweak your page width for your blog. This will affect the maximum width of the post list, pages and post content, including the archives page. The Header and Footer area will still remain the same.” Features like adjustable page width, image lightbox, and the assets section make Scribbles an excellent choice for photo blogging and art blogs. Thanks for adding these options, Vincent! ❤️
• 👾🚀 You can now add Plausible and Cloudflare Analytics to your blog by adding the relevant information on your blog settings -> Analytics & Kudos. You can mix and match all of them, or just one or the other, it's up to you. Leave empty to disable. Of course I think Tinylytics is the better option here 😅😋
So many SpaceX launches lately. They’re cooking 🔥
• 👾 Added an extra option to disable collecting hits when your script is loaded on an error page. Go to your site settings -> Extra Setting and find "Ignore error pages". When your script loads, and the option is enabled, the script will do an additional "HEAD" check of the currently visited page it was loaded on and check if it gets an OK response back. If so, it'll record the hit as normal. • 👾🧹 Cleaned up the settings page a little by introducing a nav bar on desktop so it's a little easier to navigate. I'll keep...

I'm at the point where I need to finally nail in that pricing for launching hopefully next week at some stage, and I'm a little conflicted. So if you're reading, please let me know what you think. During development I had a no limits on the amount of feeds you can have. The initial plan was to allow for 10 for free — however I am conflicted if I even should offer something for free. Sublime Feed is incredibly niche, yet incredibly cool — I think it's a much better way to consume your content without wanting to scratch your...
I have decided to share my daily photos in weekly posts on WordPress. Scribbles is a nice platform, but I just don’t have the mental energy for a daily workflow. So posting weekly collections better suits my current state of mind. r0bertphoto.wordpress.com
