#DuckDuckGo doesn't seem to be working for me this morning ... Gives "Sorry, we ran into an error displaying these results".
Can't help thinking it has something to do with them too getting into AI shenanigans ... 😬🤦‍♂️
Please just give me "the web" 🙏

@npub1gzl…kk4u Don't you fear that websites will essentially become obsolete, existing merely as a forgotten backend to the black box of omni-knowledgeable AI?

2024-05-08 17:26:03

Ufff, the #Apple #iPad advert, so tone deaf for our times.
Wrong on so many counts, celebrating the destruction of human creativity and artistry, and contrary to all the R-principles ... rethink, reduce, reuse, repair, recover, recycle, refurbish, remanufacture, repurpose, reclaim, retrofit, retro-cool, revival, reading the room ...
... all under the heavy, grey-steeled palm of an uncaring machine.

@npub1c8l…sldj This looks nice, we have a few old ipods around that work, but can be a bit finicky with Linux, having to be periodically connected to itunes. Does InniOasis linux you know?

⛈️ Stormy clouds and much needed rains in Granada. The sunny weather is already returning ☀️, and the main reservoir for Granada is just above over 50% of its capacity, and well down on the last 4 years' average for the same period. We still need more rain, or snow on the Sierra 🏔️🙏

Accessibility across the web is a complete mess ... you can have all the branding and colours you like, but that doesn't mean all the peeps can see, hear and interact with the various emojis, buttons, controls, sliders, toggles and links, across all browsers, and on all devices. Can't believe we're in 2024 and we haven't solved this yet. 🤦

The Torcal is a UNESCO World Heritage Site not merely because of its stunning geological karst formations, with a stacked stone effect, but also because it is aligned with the entrance to the Tholos de El Romeral, a megalithic burial mound dating from 1800 BC. One of three burial mounds in the area, with the other two pointing to the face-like mountain called Lovers' Rock, and to the sunrise at the spring equinox, marking the change of season.

Sunset, the moon out on show, up in the mountains, above the clouds, rocks to climb, with my girls, a perfect moment in the Torcal.

Give people an easy to mute hashtag if they've had enough of it, like #KMFMusic, and let them know they can mute it?
Then they can always come back and check if they want.
I think it's normal to express your whole complex multifaceted personality. If you have a particular passion, it's normal to express that too.
If I had a profile for every one of my interests, I'd have a hundred profiles! 😅

Try a live Linux session from a USB key and do an analysis from there?
I'm sure you can work what is going on with the disk and partitioning in a live sess.

@npub178h…hyhr Excellent! If you want to try to migrate content from WordPress, note that there is a handy "Wordpress-to-Hugo Export" plugin that should carry over all of your content and post permalinks. The book I recommended by @npub1cpz…fnkj also has a great chapter on migrating content to Hugo. It looks like a relatively painless process, though I haven't tried myself! Have fun!

@npub178h…hyhr I am getting on really well with Hugo. Extremely fast and lightweight, takes seconds to set up. Easy to tinker with. Portable, simply a folder you can copy anywhere. No messing around with LAMP or such. Am enjoying creating my own theme from scratch, but there are plenty of themes available. Easily hostable on GitLab, with CI/CD and a simple YAML file, or cheap service. I got up to speed on it using the wonderfully clear and concise book by Brian P. Hogan.

😃 Converted an almost 15-year-old MacBook Pro to #Linux today.
First experience with a Mac went very smoothly.
Only one Broadcom WiFi driver to worry about.
Now a friend of my daughter has an updated laptop OS that allows her to use Scratch, and therefore do her homework! 😃
