This has always been one of my favorites. It always got me scared. My grandmother loved the movie called Duel ('70s). It always scared her.
I haven't seen Rear Window in years. I'm not sure what brought it to mind last night.
Yes. I have not tested it yet. My type-A personality wants to avoid a possible posting mess by knowing ahead of time.
I'll have to try it one day to see what happens.
Misty have you heard of nostr:npub1ej5lyf444vqkatj9gvdmzvgukmndhcpke86mnvle0pauxpd88s7sq2f6k2 , it literally is that. Radio, and encryption.
No, I have not. I will take a look at it.
I wasn't referencing this one. I'm still trying to learn my way around, exploring corridors and such. So far, it takes me far less time to get through the feed on this one than some of the others.
Sunlight, fresh air, movement, and hydration fixes many problems. Others have solved the problems you face now. You are not inadequate because you feel stuck. You just need some perspective. You can do this.
As a new #Nostr user, I didn't realize until I'd gone through the signup process and "spinning up a node" and all of that, something like two weeks later — that using crypto is absolutely **not** required to use Nostr.
I had no idea!
As a #new user, I would have been far more comfortable onboarding, knowing I could leave the whole crypto thing to the side and use Nostr to stay in touch when there's no other way of staying in touch with family or what have you.
I could have had time to do more research to see which setup I may have preferred otherwise. I like to research when I have time and evidently, there are several choices to choose from.
Slightly off-topic, but the other day I as Googling something, and I kid you not, the top Google result was an old Steemit article.
I literally got up from the desk and computer and shoved it out of my mind. I'd thought I'd stepped into an alternate reality.
It freaked me out a little. hahahaha. I've never seen that happen in all these years. Not once.
Part of the challenge of being on #social media is that I have the belief that every time I step foot onto a platform, it's going to be a fast and easy trip.
Nope.
Opinions flying. Things you can help with. Things to laugh at. Sometimes you can make a difference.
But I have to change a bit how I do this. There's things in the morning I want to accomplish first.
Mood.
1954. Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window.
My recipe for homemade powdered laundry soap:
1 part Washing Suds
1 part Borax
1 bar of soap of your choice
You're going to shred the bar of soap using a cheese grater. I find the smaller shreds work better, as they dissolve more easily in the wash.
I prefer to measure in cups. 1 cup Washing Suds, 1 cup Borax, 1 bar of shredded soap.
Mix together well. Add to a container with a secure lid. It only takes 1-2 tablespoons per load. Because I had kids, dogs, and cats, I always used two.
When you first use it, it won't seem like that's all you need, but it is.
You can scale this recipe to as large or as small as you want. I always made three batches at once. It lasts for several months.
When I was younger, I regularly wrote 10-20 pages by hand only to find 2-4 "gems" that I loved. Out of that batch, I'd also find 1-3 starting paragraphs, my main points, and usually a summary.
Sometimes, I'd find more #story ideas.
Lots of paper.
Lots of pens.
Ok. Enough social media. Back to work. Web pages to build, euphemistic empires to topple.
Primal the most but Ditto.pub if I want to try something different.
Markdown is the only sane solution.
One of the most significant gaps I see in #documentation is failing to document anything other than the happy path the company built it for.
Engineers and product owners like to only document the perfect happy path a user is supposed to take.
They subconsciously forget to document certain things because they are used to the one primary use case.
It's common not to consider that what's already written, such as product messaging, marketing, etc., might have already planted specific expectations in a user's mind about the product or service.
Only once I play with the product as a user do I spot all these inconsistencies and gaps.
- What happens if you try this path?
- As a user, I expected it to do X, but you're blocked at Y.
- The UI said such and such, so I assumed it could this and that, but it can't.
You must tell the users what the product or version should not be doing.
If workarounds exist for known issues, provide them, especially in an #MVP product where early documentation versions are necessary. If the public should refrain from implementing those workarounds, instruct them not to take the actions that lead to the problem.
If I write a long-form post on habla.news, will it show up on other clients if the other clients have a post character limit that is less than the length of the article?
If it does show up, does only the first maximum set of characters display based the client's maximum post display length?
