@platypus I have not yet been able to find a citation or news piece, but I recall Washington State having issues with police warrants reactivating after September 9th (9999). It wasn’t as big an issue as it could’ve been, because they were already working on it, but a few were missed.

Already bookmarked these for my own nefarious purposes later, but here’s a couple frameworks for similarly minded “no framework” #CSS folks.

frontaid.natural-selection: no style, just a blank with most of the CSS selectors you’d want to keep in mind for your own design

Open Props: sub-atomic styles: a grab-bag kinda like Tailwind, except everything’s in the form of CSS variables and some useful selector scopes for them

I do not care for “move fast and break things.” No my friends I much prefer to move slow and — oops

Brain dump from last night’s puttering

Heavily pondered going all-in on Org mode and I still may do that, but decided my Dendron vault has all the public notes and has fewer opinions about Markdown than Obsidian. So I can use shortcodes and whatever Markdown funkiness I can get away with in Hugo render hooks.

So Dendron’s not really serving as PKM but more like a CMS.

Anyways, brain wasn’t letting me focus on other stuff until I typed this. Thank you.

@munin appreciate the reminder!

Checked my Zoom profile settings, saw a slot for pronouns and selected the option to “always share in meetings and webinars”

looking at a dashboard with many cards with lots of words in tiny text and getting a sensory flashback to — Rolemaster?

Interesting move, brain.

wondering why Kate is responsible for so much infrastructure and services because they keep talking about Kate’s clusters and Kate’s orchestration and —

@cinebox @munin can’t a screenshot because that’s the work machine, but for me it was:

Get to your profile page

(in app: profile icon -> MY NAME -> My profile)

“Edit” next to your name, then in form: “Pronouns” text field, “How would you like to share your pronouns?” select

Save

@socketwench So we better treat her right!

At least I recognized and spoke up when my social battery tapped out (main clue being that my brain started paying much closer attention to the thunder outside than the conversation in my headset) but oof I need to figure out how to get more capacity in there. Maybe fix the capacity warning.

It’s all “I’m good I’m good I’m good I’m done.”

Talking with my mom about weather systems, she jokes about how we’re old people doing small talk about the weather, and I kinda go off:

“I was just thinking about how much I’ve always enjoyed weather talk and thought it was unfair how folks maligned weather as small talk. It’s a tiny slice of a snapshot of a system so huge it dwarfs our imaginations, and that is the paper-thin layer protecting us from the rest of the universe. Small talk my ass.”

She’s not wrong. But still.
