On macOS i use Safari for PWAs. It is just fine.

But I use Firefox as my primary browser. PWA support non-existent. They killed their basic PWA support many years ago. There are suggestions they will support it in the future.

On Linux/Windows, I use Brave for PWAs.

It has now been decades since I used Eudora. I still feel I lost the best email client due to Qualcomm’s neglect

Very fun. I have used the cli ’playball’ in the past, but this retro 8-bit is delightful

This morning I think I found a minor bug is the installable PWA web app. chromium, Brave and I expect other browsers show a white bar with the URL at the top of the PWA

I believe this is due to the manifest specifying the path ‘/watch/‘ with a trailing slash and not the path we get redirected to without ‘/watch’

I too have had a shortcut for “red filter” + “minimal brightness” + “reduced brightness” for years.

I trigger it by a Triple back tap.

Great for night usage with our eye strain or bothering your spouse

Many projectors include remotes that allow you to control a slide presentation. These remotes send the default keystrokes that Microsoft PowerPoint knows (and which other presentation software copied) So when you connect a projector the OS often sees a keyboard and mouse. This triggers macOS’s keyboard recognition tool. Old VGA projectors had separate keyboard/mouse ports. I assume HDMI has a USB channel?

In the late 90s, I leased Cobalt RAQ servers from RackSpace. During this time, RackSpace had exceptional customer service. I could call support and be connected with a skilled Unix SysAdmin within minutes. Even though I was responsible for the entire system, the would happily login to the system and advise me how how to deal with any issues.

After about 5 years, I called to shutdown my last Cobalt server. A week later, they called to ask if they could ship me server. No Cost

Turns out it was the last of the Colbalt RAQs and the oldest server in their fleet

I often use Pico CSS, and a comparison would be nice.

I remember Le Guin speaking at my university around 1990. She was amazingly open about her writing process. While she did not directly answer questions about the “meaning” of her writing, she did facilitate the discussion about her work’s meaning, and asked the audience challenging questions.

Of all my time at uni, I wish I had a recording of this event.

I understood from students who had attended a writing workshop with her earlier in the day, that she was gifted teacher.

My first encounter with Neko was on OS/2 as well.

Thanks for finding this post. I did a quick search for it and came up empty.

This is exactly why.

It is my assumption that Gruber chose ‘.text’ over ‘.txt’ for several reasons. To give it a little difference when searching for files. To be more legible to non-computer people. And finally, while Classic MacOS did not use file extensions, the Resource Fork type code for text files was ‘TEXT’

Daring Fireball had the ‘.text’ version since at least the public release of Markdown, if not earlier.

This should be the version Gruber edits in MarsEdit or BBEdit, but it maybe partly rendered by the Moveable Type CMS

The extension is ‘.text’ because that is what he suggested as the Markdown extension, but of course most of us went with ‘.md’

While keyword tags are not used on the website, you can see the one he uses for his personal purposes at the bottom of the Markdown

I do this too. It was a easy sell to my department
