Enthusiastic computer programmer since I was 13 in 1993 when my family got our first computer, occasionally for profit.

@MichaelKlamerus@dosgame.club Possibly my all-time most popular post on here, which is cracking me up because it was totally just "should I grab a post-it note for this book? Nah, I'm feeling crafty today. ...oh, that's actually really pretty, I should post a picture of it."

@aparrish I always think of how Laravel Shift (scripts to update your PHP code between versions of the Laravel framework) was ONE guy for ages.

@audiointerface @ahihi Yeah, that's one of my uses for an RSS reader: getting links to podcast audio without digging through the source code of the "podcast" site.
But the limitation there is that most software that generates RSS feeds cuts off the feed at a certain number of entries (often 20) so if you want to listen to the full history of a long-running podcast, you're back to hunting through the source of the web site again.
So I generally consider a lack of direct download links to be gating the files. Even if your RSS feeds go all the way back, adding the feed to a reader or player is still an extra step if all I want is to grab an episode or two to see if I like it. Podcast sites originally used to all have direct download links. They took them away very deliberately as a form of gating.

@KatS@chaosfem.tw Yeah! There are a bunch of similarly-shaped paper-clip like things that fill this function
Always fun to see how much more frost heave you get on open ground vs. ground insulated by snow cover. The path that we kept plowed all winter is nearly a foot (say, 30 cm) above the surrounding ground when it normally blends right in (there's no prepared path here, it's all just grass in the summer).

@caycedo@col.social It's just a strip of plain white paper glued in a loop to fit around the red card-stock, so you can slide it up and down. And the arrow cut-outs are only on one side, so you can tell which way it's pointing.

Hrmph. Looks like it's in the WordPress core and you (probably?) can't edit it without digging into PHP and editing the theme. Bleh.

@AlexBlock@ottawa.place Of course, you can get the same functionality with a sticky note, but this is a lot prettier and more fun 🙃

@timsk@mastodon.social @ossobuffo@triangletoot.party Yeah, but it doesn't look like they have the 5657. And LibreOffice Writer wasn't great for round labels the last time I tried. I could only figure out how to get rectangular regions, so I had to guess at the circle boundaries when laying things out.
Still, a good resource for many Avery labels.
