@kev What plugins are you using with your setup, were you able to downsize some of those beyond the caching?

@hjertnes @cheribaker Agreed, such a deep and well written character, and a badass. They couldn’t have picked a better actor to portray him either.

@hjertnes @cheribaker I still remember the final episode, what a fucking cop out disgrace it was. Insulting to all the cast members who put so much effort into the show.

@kev Ugh, another heat wave over there, or still the same one?

@kev @normandc @joel Ditto, I can’t wait for the days I can add a minus sign to these temperatures.

@kev @joel I take it you don’t like dark mode? When it comes to Nord I always have it in dark mode, regardless. I just think it looks best in that theme.

@kev @joel Great write up! I keep flirting with dark mode but inevitably switch it off every time. It’s far better in theory than in actual use for me. I still keep Nord on dark mode 100% of the time in any apps that offer the theme.

@kev Some SSGs are easier to use than others it seems, at least as far as template languages are concerned. Blot’s Mustache or Jekyll’s Liquid are both far easier to understand than Hugo’s Go templates, which are admittedly a hot mess in comparison. At least the only time I have to see them is when theming on Micro.blog, otherwise I can still just write and publish. You’re correct that SSGs are powerful, but not without some hair pulling.

@mike @RL_Dane @jppelt @kev @benjaminhollon I only have iOS devices in my house now, and I’m iPad only for my computing. Never thought I’d be without a traditional computer, but here I am and loving it.

@kev Happy Birthday, Kev! That’s one hell of a gift, I’m more than a little jealous but I’ll get over it. ;) If I had to pick a favourite it would have to be the Gameboy, but that’s splitting hairs.

@benjaminhollon @RL_Dane @jppelt @mike @kev What’s the opinion on Keychron boards? I’ve read a range of reviews about their quality, but I’m also concerned that almost all of them sit quite high which puts strain in your wrists (and I hate wrist supports). I know they have a low profile model, but that’s one I’ve read less than stellar reviews about.

@RL_Dane @benjaminhollon @jppelt @mike @kev Yes, the reviews I read subsequent to my initial post were decent, but nothing outstanding. I’m also trying to find something in Canada, as I’m not interested in being gouged by import fees and duties. I might just end up caving and getting an external Magic Keyboard, which I use at work and enjoy the typing experience — even though it doesn’t have the thocciness.

@kev Couldn’t agree more with this, and the other replies in the thread. Ignoring the self-absorbed narcissists entirely, the other ones I can’t stand are the “influencers” — a term that makes my blood boil — that garner massive likes and retweets for the stupidest shit. And literally for no other reason than they typed something. I saw some of the dumbest and most useless tweets go viral merely because they have tonnes of followers.

@aral Could be worse, you could live in Canada where marijuana — and the skunky, disgusting smell it brings — was legalized. Apparently our government couldn’t come up with anything more pressing and important to deal with.

@bananarama @aral No, instead I get to enjoy the waft of pot randomly while walking on the street, driving, or entering/leaving the lobby of my condo. That last one really angers me, as all smoking is banned here. The fact that someone walking through the lobby leaves an odour tells me they’re smoking in their unit.

@atomicpoet @tchambers Medium has been a cesspool of clickbait and sensationalism for a long time now. Sadly, this wasn’t always the case, so bravo capitalism and greed for ruining another one.
