@manton I totally understand especially after the whole Inkwell saga… Ok, waiting patiently 😊

@rkwb.micro.blog what is it for?

@manton Glad to see it baking in the oven, I think it’s a great addition to the videos/photos/podcast support MB already offers. A few suggestions, if I may —
- The option to post about something later should be prominent when tagging a location. It’s a safety concern, some people don’t want to tag in real time, and it would help if it’s delayed by a couple of hours by default maybe.
- I understand Apple Maps usage at the start; I’m not sure how hard it would be to incorporate OSM. They are open and have hiking trails and maps stored which could be a good addition… maybe.
- It would be cool if it could work with the Photos collections. For example, I have a coffee shop location I barely use (who doesn’t…) if the photo collection would also allow to pinpoint a map snippet or checkins of where these places are… it would be really nice!
If you need any testers, let me know!! :)

@manton you’re basically in my neighborhood - if you go up a couple of stations (190) you can use the elevator for free to go to Fort Tryon. There’s a French restaurant there and some good places around for coffee :)

@lmika made me think of this blog.lauramichet.com/i-went-on… which I read a week ago or so

@sacha Thanks for the suggestion Sacha! Hmm… it might? Does your daughter have columnar keys? This is part of what makes this weird. The pinky is not a part of the traditional WASD, which kind of short-circuits my brain. I have just the game to give it a try.

@eludom nah, he doesn’t seem to have a QWERTY version for the Glove80, and I think I know why: you don’t really need one. It’s more about replacing a few keys, and I’m going to do that next.

@eludom interesting… I’m looking through it. org-ql came up a couple of times as a suggestion, but I haven’t used it yet.

@eludom I was just looking his version for the glove80. Post coming out soon.

@manton nah. If I wanted something like this, I’d in just go to Claude/ChatGPT whatever and that’s it. I do use AI in my writing, but I call it “post polish” for a reason. It’s carefully drafted prompt that checks my links, previous posts of the same topic, and suggests a title.

@manton very useful! I didn’t think of using collections for a single post. Is that a good use of it? Like if I take three or four photos at a park and I want them all to be in one post? Didn’t realize.

@manton I guess I over simplify things. Giving people options is a good idea. There’s a financial cost involved, but you calculated that it makes sense now. How is adding an option a bad thing?
If I don’t want to cross post to X, I won’t, same as I can do anywhere else. Arguing about a soul and morals when it has to do with tech is futile. It’s like asking if a hammer or a pen is evil.

@rscottjones this is one of the simplest, easiest, and smartest tips I’ve gotten recently. Thank you!

@vincent the sky though… or is that a wall behind it?

@de Isn’t it great? It just makes so much sense, I don’t understand why the default option is this horrible contraption stuck between the two functions and it sucks at both.

@miljko I need to expand on this, but in general? If you built your own before and you have the knowledge I am not convinced it’s worth it for a desktop.

@swiftonsecurity.com I mean I’m poly and I have multiple relationships and I still do similar things on Saturday nights because geeking out is just plain fun

@eludom the hardest part is when you just forget emacs things. Like jumping to the start of the buffer. My fingers only remember the shortcut, not what it was called, so I can’t find it. But mostly it’s either alt/control confusion.
The keyboard itself is the right call. It just makes sense as what a keyboard should be.

@tsutrav I’d say yes, but not first place. I can’t wait to get back into Silo again, now that was a show.

@kev on my blog (and many others I presume) titles to post also serve as the permalink to that post. That means that new posts get accented, read once bland into the background. It’s a small but a nice thing to have.

@jbaty what about pens and such, did you ever write about what you use to write? I usually see posts relating to what you write on or in, not with :-)

@manton has what I think is called starter packs… anything like that for good accounts to follow? From X?

@kev saw the reactions. Rolled my eyes. Back under my rock (Im keeping my donation)

@manto I second that, and I’m wondering if the preview for posts on the web client can be improved to look as good as it does in the built-in Preview on the macOS app.

@gnomon fixed, need to explain (no time…) basically path problem where one of the libraries couldn’t be found. I had what I needed installed, had to point to it with early-init.el
