I am curious. I help people frustrated with how difficult it is to use technology. I value autonomy, self-determination, empowerment, and uplifting people were they are, as they are. Neurodivergent. Norse. Gen X
Fellow tape heads:
If you used to create mix tapes, then mixes on CD-R, do you also now spend time building playlists in your favorite electronic medium?
For example, I have dozens of playlists in Apple Music and I add music to them (or create new lists) on a regular basis.
Ugh. I was one radio button from success. @help do I need redo a source, ie: delete and recreate, or could the import of an RSS source and publish to my blog be toggle on from the back end? I don’t see that I can change this in the UI myself.

When you love a song, do you always?
I do.
I horde favorite songs. I retain sentimental affection.
I think without exception.

I realize I’m of a demographic, one that still regularly watches prime-time programming, but it really is cringe to see commercial after commercial for new medications with really alarming side-effects.

Putting this here for posterity. Just updated an HP Elitebook x360 1040 G5 laptop to Ubuntu 25.04.
I used the recommendation here which has resolved an issue where the only sound device was Dummy Audio:

Two take-aways from my one-pager edit, today.
I can open an SVG file in BBEdit to get the vector information—no need to find the raw HTML online.
I still don’t understand all of the components of the SVG data and how CSS interacts inside of the template I’m customizing.
But? It works.

As an HTML hobbyist, it is excruciating to constantly come up against the difference between what I think I know and what I actually know. This is how I learn best, but it is so humbling. I thought I understood including in-line SVG images. I’m progressing.

The song Highwire Days by The Psychedelic Furs
I was diagnosed with ADHD back in the late 1900s, and recently I’ve learned enough to strongly suspect a second diagnosis. This knowledge does a lot to explain myself to myself, what I do and why. But let me tell you the gravity of the consequences does not stop revealing itself to me.
I wouldn’t say I’m never satisfied. But I would say that satisfaction with anything I work on is temporary. Today I’m thinking about the design of my vanity one-page website. I’m thinking about the link to it from Micro.blog, and I’m also thinking about a major CSS overhaul of my Micro.blog itself.
I stopped using my real name at restaurants. I have been using “Silver” because my beard is mostly grey. I figure that would help people wondering who was whom. But if I tell people “Silver”, what I see on the receipt is “Siler” and “Sliver”. So, problem not solved.
TIL that adding an RSS source to Micro.blog does require separate settings for replication, and therefore does allow distinct replication options. Micro.blog does not assume you want each source handled identically, even if that is your own intent.

Some things just do not work in Safari on iPadOS. Some things just do not work in Safari on MacOS. I do try to stay Apple-native on Apple devices, though I do wish Apple allowed alternate web tech on iOS. But sometimes, I just switch to Firefox to get me over some bumps in the road.
Might need to switch up strategies. My window for reading at bedtime is becoming more variable and shorter.
