I had no idea how often I mindlessly press `Command-P` to invoke Firefox’s non-existent command palette, until we got a new printer 🥴
🚲 Bike season is in full swing — we caught the Springwater Corridor* to Sellwood for a post-lunch birthday ride, and spotted this beauty
*A very belated first time! It was lovely!

🌟 @platypus@glammr.us’s excellent post ”My Coworkers Don't Want AI. They Want Macros” is a perfect real-world example, through the lens of library management tooling

See @blag@typo.social’s article from 2022 about the change (subscribers-only — hint, hint! 😉)

The not-so-new-anymore `@import` #JSDoc tag support that landed in TypeScript 5.5 makes it much, much nicer to import type definitions ✨
```
/** @import {Page, Post} from "../types.js" */
/**
* Build permalinks for pages and posts
* @param {Page | Post} entry
* @return {string}
*/
```
Great for keeping JSDoc blocks tidy, and especially nice when the same type is used multiple times throughout a single script.

☝🏼 I think about this question a lot these days as I watch problems — with better, faster, more accurate, cheaper, and less wasteful solutions *that already exist* — being eagerly fed into LLMs
As in, “What have you tried [before settling for a plausible sounding answer (presented with the veneer of utmost confidence!) that in all likelihood is complete hogwash]?”

sure why not give write access and a sound system to the greatest red team ever invented: high schoolers

@xoxo This turned out beautifully, and it does a tremendous job capturing the essence of everything XOXO was over the years 💛

@tylersticka@social.lol it’s so beautiful — and my goodness, they really captured so many elements of Portland!

@fahrni@curmudgeon.cafe Interesting!! 🤔 I’d need to think of how or where I could position it while still being connected

@lynnandtonic@front-end.social This is so cool!! Looks amazing, and the posters, photos, and videos you’re collecting make such a fun collection to explore 🌟

@fahrni@curmudgeon.cafe shoot yeah, that’s a great point — I suppose a yearly Developer Account bill alone might start to outweigh the cost savings of micromanaging my windows 😂
you’re right, I might need to investigate an actual monitor that gives me a local reading (and maybe learn something new in the process, like a good computer nerd! ☺️)

@fahrni@curmudgeon.cafe I haven’t successfully gotten Nova’s debugger attached to a Node process yet — hoping someone on here has some tips! 🤞🏼

@blag@typo.social So cool to see Alina did a workshop with Bryan Yonki, who now lives here in Portland — I took a two-day class with him a couple years back and came away *very* humbled 😅

@dansinker@omfg.town Gift card purchased! Thanks for continuing to hype the goblins and for sharing the non-Amazon alternative ✌️

@lynfox@aus.social I love love love a project rooted in learning something new, but something with personal meaning is extra special 🥰

@amxmln@mastodon.design Very, very cool! I’m definitely taken with (and haven’t given up on the idea of) a Git-based CMS 👀
@mattrbld@indieapps.space looks super nice! 🙌
Replying to
@conlan@mastodon.social Oh, great question! Nothing special, just the built-in syntax highlighter. (To be honest, it never occurred to me to look into what might be available!)

@stublag@xoxo.zone you have so many talents, it’s truly incredible!
the site looks amazing, just like the work it features — rooting for you in your new adventure! 🙌

@caleb@pub.calebhearth.com @davatron5000@mastodon.social first please steal this, the more the merrier! ☺️
I went to add microformats to my post template yesterday, only to find I had already sprinkled h-entry and u-in-reply-to without remembering. I missed the h-cite part, so thanks for the tip! 🙏
might need to revisit that again, and then maybe blog about this little pattern...?
Replying to
@ioflow@sea.wavelight.ws I dig it! Especially using rsync, which seems to be a more common approach than I realized 💫
Thanks for sharing! ☺️

@Anneke@front-end.social ohh interesting — I completely forgot about Shortcuts! this seems like it might do the trick with what I already have on hand 🎉

@andymcmillan@xoxo.zone oooh lovely! 🤩
I’ve excised just about every smart appliance we had over the years, but this is a really clever way to get exactly what I’m looking for! 🥲

@fahrni@curmudgeon.cafe oh dang, I didn’t realize Jeff Williams retired — might be a rare mid-year chance to fire up the ol’ Average Apple Executive machine!

“Mundane Weather” as a notification category would be right up my alley 🤞☺️🤞

@glass@typo.social Boy howdy, do I love a good drop-a-folder to spin up a new site — I haven’t had a chance to play with Cloudflare, but Netlify has something similar and it brings back a lot of the fun parts of just using FTP 🥹 (Why did we get rid of that again…?)
I was purposefully obtuse in my post (maybe too much so), but give me a holler if any details would be helpful as you start digging in!
