@npub1aka…zzz2 Man it'd be so easy. Crossed my mind dozens of times over the years.

Just got spam from server@sexypotatoes.org and I checked that domain and it 403s and I tell ya, I am _gutted_.

Random, but I'll give it a go.
I have a Leica MP I'm looking to sell. I just don't use it any more, and we could really use a holiday! So I sell this and we fly to Thailand, thank-you-yes. 🇹🇭
I'm in #Canberra, Australia. Something local would be _vastly_ preferred.
Looking for around AU$6,000. But open to negotiate. Happy to Zoom with anyone interested.
Boosts appreciated.

@npub1rky…0xq2 It’d be nice if Ivory’s filters had a ‘only the whole word’ option, vs. the current which is match-anywhere.
I’d like to filter out ‘AI’ but doing so filters out any word containing the string ‘ai’, which is many words.
(I tried `␣AI ␣`, doesn’t work.)

I just made live something I’ve been wanting to do for ages.
The Workshop now has 3 prices. And you choose which to pay.
1. You go for dinner whenever you want, drive a nice car, and your job pays well. It’s $150.
2. You go for dinner on special occasions, drive an older car, and your job pays the bills. It’s $50.
3. You never go for dinner, you ride the bus, because you don’t have a job. It’s free.

@npub1rky…0xq2 Still got this whole notifications-showing-up-in-notifications-and-mentions-until-you-look-at-them-both thing going on?
Forgive me if it’s actually NP but it doesn’t feel like a _horribly_ hard problem to solve? It’s pretty frustrating.

@npub1aka…zzz2 Of course if everyone would just accept a state-issued ID card with a unique number that they used instead of their name, this problem would be solved... ;-)

Welcome Lucy to the fedi. I'm sure she’d appreciate a follow from you good kind people.
And she's jumping on #Junited2024 as a starter! I see what she looks at on her iPad and I’m not kidding, it is some quality content.

My sister was rescued today by a man from Kettering.
She got a flat tyre. Cars these days don’t come with a spare. (Who knew?) The inflate-with-foam can from the service station didn’t work.
It’s Sunday morning in the UK. She’d been at a service station for 3 hours. Everything’s closed.
Then a random man noticed, and offered to help.
“Drive my car home”, he said. So she’s on her way back to Bristol in his Mercedes.
Most people are amazing.
Very, very few aren’t. Don’t let them ruin it.

# Request for help: how do I learn Mac software development?
I’m looking for is a list of the best resources. Including but not limited to:
- YouTube channels.
- Courses, paid included.
- Blogs or other personal sites that will tell me what to do.
- Podcasts? Though I don’t see audio as the ideal medium here.
Who’s the Wes Bos of Swift? Who will mainline me information as fast as I can absorb it?

The Johnny.Decimal Workshop is live! 🥳 We’ve been working on this non-stop for what feels like most of the year. We are ... a bit exhausted.
A ride around Parliament House followed by a beer in the autumn sun will sort us out.
Lucy is very proud of this 7-second launch video! Haha. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VER8UXlOvcw&feature=youtu.be

@npub1wjw…ue5t You don’t think it directly conflicts with your privacy-first stance?
I don’t understand how anyone there thinks that this is a good idea.

Announcing the Johnny.Decimal Workshop: the fastest, simplest, most reliable way to organise your life.
Like my partner Lucy, your life is probably disorganised. You’ve got a Desktop full of files; to-dos all over the place; browser tabs open for weeks; and notes that you’ll never find, let alone read.
Most of us have given up. It’s *really hard* to be organised in 2024.
This Workshop will give you the skills you need to cope with the modern digital world.

@npub1y9z…3ykm Fun fact, PowerPoint has built-in templates that look the same. Up there in the ‘Design’ ribbon perhaps?
A revelation for someone whose diagrams have to be *perfect* which is, of course, impossible.
That looks-hand-drawn thing hides imperfection, allowing the perfectionist brain to get on with it. Genius.

Yeah nah mate I cook like an egg a day. I do a dozen eggs a week. I have chickens. I’m gonna cook an egg.

@npub1y9z…3ykm I remember iPhone launch day.
Me and friends working at the National Australia Bank at 555 Collins St, Melbourne, all managed to order one. Delivered via FedEx some unknown time later.
They arrived. I vividly remember them turning up.
We couldn’t do anything but turn them on and wait for someone to jailbreak them. Until then: useless, pretty shapes.

Device naming recommendation: the chemical elements.
Example: the new Mac mini is 'curium'.
Use its atomic number in your IP addressing scheme: 10.x.x.[number] for the Wi-Fi interface, 10.x.x.[number + 100] for Ethernet.
So curium gets 10.x.x.[96|196].
Easy to remember. Hundreds to choose from. I've been doing this for years and it's 💯👌🏼
Bonus: you remember more elements and their numbers. 🧠

@npub1y9z…3ykm Major typo!
- Categories - these are the top level of the folder system, e.g. 10-19 Family
- Areas - These are the folders inside categories, e.g. 10 Finance
Those two are the wrong way round. `10-19` = area. `10` = category.
Lush site, will check it out properly later.

@npub15ml…2w4s Thought re: motion sickness with the goggles.
Have they ‘solved’ it by never letting you see *only the virtual image*?
Even in the biggest ‘movie’ setting, you’re ‘at the cinema’ watching it ‘on a screen’. Might this somehow eradicate the sickness?

@npub1eee…e209 ⚠️ Irony alert. In your own post re: Discord’s Markdown support, you appear to have buggered up your Markdown.
The `*` to indicate the footnote has been parsed as the start of italics.
https://daringfireball.net/linked/2023/05/25/discord-markdown
Related: I *love* how the backticks can be used to express ‘the literal thing between these marks’. I use that all the time in all sorts of contexts.
