Trying to get a covid test has given me personal experience with 3 things I have seen reported: - it is incredibly challenging to get a test when you don’t drive - it is harder to figure out if you have jumped thru the right hoops for yr insurance to pay - CARES act is a mess
Since this was popular, here's a search that does its best to replicate old school FavStar: twitter.com/search?q=(the%… It finds tweets with lots of favs containing very common English words. It crucially does NOT include any verified accounts so you get true bubbled-up content.
Just a reminder: this Twitter search will show you tweets from people you follow that have 0 likes and 0 RTs, or as I like to call them, the good tweets. (Also for some r...
Is there a way to find every instance of a person I follow RT'ing a viral tweet with disinfo in it (too many RTs for a manual check)? It's about a sensitive subject that I don't want to speak on publicly (and it's not my field) but I at least want to try and correct my friends

"Digital calendars[' blank-by-default style] misrepresent the default state of your time. [...] the calendar app never makes them feel like they’re taking something away from you. The UX is additive, rather than reductive." Love this @aaronzlewis via @mckinleaf https://t.co/OvUZlEHZ0M

If you need something to watch that’s happy and heavy (but a lot on the happy), go watch She-Ra and the Princesses of Power on Netflix. It’s ended and you’ll have the luck of watching it end to end.

I have a CS degree, but learned most of computing through trial/error, internet searches, and *doing*. If you think degree requirements are gatekeeping (they are), then let me introduce you to wealth inequality! I learned on a computer and internet connection I could afford...

Thanks, Tim! šŸ’• I've learned so much this year, and have a long way to go, but I'm 100% committed to listening, learning, and taking public action to drive change.

Glad Lyft reminded me to uninstall the app with them nudging me to try to take a ride nowadays.

Enjoy what you have when you get it during eternal Caturday!

Yo @Plex, I need a way to block/hide some podcasts from showing up. I don’t listen to them a lot but having a row of content that’s promoting borderline hateful content isn’t the vibe at all.

Dealing symptoms today that could be ?? Arthritis flare, tear gas particulate, or da rona. All I want to do is go back to sleep but a pile of work calls :-/
Thoughts on learning React: If you need a web dev job *right now*, then yes, you should learn it. Otherwise… Learn the web components spec inside and out, then try out some helpful lightweight tooling (like LitElement ā¤ļø). I have no doubt this is the future of frontend.
Despite concerns about affecting my own mental health, I watched the whole damn Swan interview. Cringeworthy. It was an hour of a student saying, not that his dog ATE his homework, but that his dog DID his homework and the slobbery, chewed-up mess he was handing in deserved an A

How do you keep your home office clean? I have things like compressed air, wipes and a hand vacuum. Curious about other people’s approaches.

I think I either want native ā€œlink quotingā€ / citations in my site and in Indigenous or someway to automatically do that. This hints back at a conversation in the IndieWeb channels about how posting interfaces have homogenized to be ā€œintelligentā€ (in the sense that by setting certain fields, the post type can be inferred). I think it’s more constraint driven for sure but due to the hyper plurality of content types we’ve engaged with, it’s easier to throw users a kitchen sink versus providing more intelligent interfaces. We’re making strides towards that though!

There’s a silent war over the tech of the future and it’ll legit affect the mobility of movements. It even has ties into this ā€œnativeā€ to a machine/OS vs ā€œnativeā€ to a Web browser (and what actually is the Web). I hope that despite the corporate stances to reduce the mobility of people that we will still have means of handling independence and some sense of sovereignty over the things they’ve convinced us to keep in our homes.
