Holy cow - someone just contacted me about a small WordPress plugin I wrote 16 years ago. I don't even think about WordPress anymore. So I went to update the plugin in their directory and... they use Subversion rather than git! Felt like I’d stepped back in time to another era. So strange. https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-future-is-now/

@usul I guess. It's simple but useful!

@usul This image is not coming through for some reason. No idea if it's a problem with Ivory or your masto host or the image itself, weird.

Nietzsche Family Circus - old Family Circus panels remixed with Nietzsche excerpts. I'm amazed this is still running - didn't this first appear about a year after the web was born?https://www.nietzschefamilycircus.com

@usul Shame! Deleted by admins? What, to save space? That would make me want to move to another server.

Seems odd that there’s an official GMail app for mobile, but not for desktop. I mean, the web UI is very good, but an app would be better. Standard mail clients can talk to gmail, but with missing functionality. There’s only one app built on the Google mail API (Mimestream) but it’s yet another subscription.

@kboyd Is it? Then why is there a native mobile app?

@kboyd I cant say I agree. In some cases that is a side effect, sure, but certainly not the “purpose.” If gmail web is the main event for desktop, then they certainly don’t have a desire to kill the golden goose by making an app for mobile!

I wrote a thing! Common advice for managing photo libraries is to "Keep everything, because you never know." I have the opposite philosophy, and finally wrote it all down. https://medium.com/@shacker/why-keep-everything-might-not-be-the-best-advice-for-photographers-8a383c6d356c

@giosci @lkanies Derp, thanks for the catch. Link on the blog has been fixed. I'll do a separate post here since it sounds like it didn't work for anyone :)

Trying again... “Keep Everything” is some of the worst advice photographers dispense to each other, leading to giant collections of also-ran images that never see the light day. My argument for a more streamlined approach:https://medium.com/@shacker/why-keep-everything-might-not-be-the-best-advice-for-photographers-8a383c6d356c#lightroom

@lkanies @giosci The lack of a Reject option in Apple Photos is maddening! What the heck? Yes I'm definitely all about RAW - I want to choose the look of every image individually (but I love spending time editing - not everyone does).

Pet peeve: When people refer to Acrobat as "Adobe" as in “I'm having trouble with my Adobe.”
