Certainly not the biggest bummer of the pandemic, but it is a bummer that every mediocre social outing now comes with a feeling of, “ugh, that wasn’t worth the risk budget.”

Is there a third party keyboard for #iOS #iPadOS that is good for coding? I sometimes want to type short #code snippets and the default keyboard is awful for that.It would also be cool if this keyboard let me do things like use CodePen and GitPod for simple tasks. I’m thinking it would need easy access to code symbols and probably arrow keys and maybe an esc button. Does this exist? Can it?

Daniel Ellsberg—Pentagon Papers whistleblower, cofounder and board member of @freedomofpress (where I work), and anti-war anti-nuclear activist—has terminal cancer.He's lived a long and remarkable life of integrity and conviction. He's facing down the end of it with as much clarity, cheer, and equanimity as I've ever seen. I'm inspired and heartbroken in equal parts.https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/daniel-ellsberg-pentagon-papers

I only had the chance to meet Daniel once, but he was the smartest, sharpest octogenarian I'd ever met (he's 91 now; this was a few years ago). Really made me rethink what a person is still capable of in their later decades.

Maker-types, what software do you use for modeling 3D printed components? And do you have any good tutorials? I'm thinking about getting into 3D printing.Bonus points if the software also includes features for integrating laser-cut components into multi-part designs. (I have done quite a bit of laser cutting.)#3dPrinting #maker

Got lots of great responses to this so if anyone else is looking for 3D print software recs, check under this thread!It sounds like TinkerCAD is a popular entry option and I used it to put together a pretty quick component. It was adequate, but I already noticed myself having some frustrations about the limitations of the UI though, so I think there's a decent chance I upgrade to something more sophisticated (possibly more coder-friendly) soon. OpenSCAD seems popular.

I think I’m getting the hang of printing things, so maybe soon time for me to start designing some things?Printed this hex scraper off Printables. #3dPrinting

Just had my closest known exposure to covid yet—spent two days with someone who tested positive for covid immediately after our trip. Guess we'll see if my luck has finally run out!

Still feeling fine! Maybe a bit of mild congestion, but that's usual for me in the winter regardless of infection, so not definitive. Tested negative last night and will take another this evening.Tomorrow I'll probably take my last remaining at home molecular test since I have some weekend activities scheduled and need to know whether I should cancel them or not.

Anyone else getting weird behavior from @signalapp’s servers right now? Or just me? Messages are taking forever to send and I’m getting multiple notifications for incoming messages.

The idea that anyone could take the ADL seriously as an organization that combats antisemitism bewilders and infuriates me.The ADL is a single-issue organization and it turns out the issue isn’t antisemitism.Original post: https://x.com/ADL/status/1881474892022919403

My poor American brain is struggling to process a rail system where city-to-city trains can leave every 20 minutes and take half as long as driving.Like what do you mean this won’t cost more than driving, take longer, be limited to a few options hours to days apart, and have an 80% chance of still being delayed???

Like are you sure what you’re describing is a *train*?
