I absolutely didn't possibly do the same thing for some (most) of my notes...

See, no "sort" in this screenshot at all 🙃

Might be time I got around to actually sorting some of these... 🙃

This is the digital equivalent to shoving stuff into a draw to deal with another day. I'm real good at it. Well, the first part anyway.

Storms here. ⛈️

Map showing lightning strikes blanketing all of Portugal. Just as well we didn't go on our planned hike today!

(6 hour loop in the reply as I can't share an image + video in the same post)

Lmao, Cricut wants to charge 99 cents for these basic shapes OR they're part of a subscription plan at 8.33€ a month.

Ridiculous. Glad I'm able to upload my own SVG files and that they didn't end up charging for that (... they 100% tried!)

The new Affinity app is a unified experience (Basically what Affinity Publisher was doing), letting us switch between vector, pixel, and publishing modes, along with a few others.

The UI feels very familiar and I've got no complaints there. Seems easy to customize tools, adding more columns etc.

No problems checking it with curl in the terminal either 😭

A few folks have said it loads fine for them no problem.

I've since connected my domain to the Google Search Console where it's showing one issue, & I've clicked through to try resolve it, explaining there is nothing on there but this 😅

Update: I've attached my domain to Google Search Console, where it is displaying one issue detected and gives me the option to request a review, so that's what I'll do for now.

Uh oh, I guess this means I did something wrong in my setup 🙃

This is displaying after getting Caddy setup on my VPS and adding an index.html with "Hello world" as a test...

Looks like some (most?) of Sunday will be spent learning and trying to fix this.

Ah sorry to hear about the trails closing!

We managed to fit this one in just before our storms start. Nothing but rain for a while.

If we’re can’t hike next week hopefully we’ll have a visit to a bird watching spot instead ☺️

🥾 Hike day!

Today saw some extra adventure when we started climbing over fallen trees and scrambling through bushes…

Turns out the line we saw on the map wasn’t a hiking path, it was a topographical line 🤣 (in our defence it did start off with a path!)

Great weather for it too.

I'll be nowhere close for a long while 😅 But this is fun! Really cool features when adding through the website.

I have mine set to show me the common names in English, Swedish, and Portuguese 😊

Yesterday was another hike day 🥾
Found some mushrooms 🍄‍🟫

We watched Flow last night 🤩

It's a dialogue-free animation film about a cat and some other animal pals, having to cooperate through a world ending flood. Loved the visuals!

Also cool that the movie was made in Blender, which you can learn more about here: www.blender.org/user-stories...

A lovely small hike today though a nature reserve, where we walked much of it in silence so we could listen to the variety of bird calls.

I very much drained my phone's battery using the Merlin Bird ID app, but it was well worth it!

Followed by a few hours chilling on the beach. 🥾🐦‍⬛⛱️

YouTube offers up AI generated replies for people that comment on your videos, so now you can "engage" with folks, with zero thought put into it.

This depresses me 😩

We went on a small coastal hike today!
Glad we did it, but it was a bit too hot 🥵🥾

This is so good! I stopped here because

A) It's dinner time
B) I'm ᵇᵃᵈ ᵃᵗ ᵐᵃᵗʰ

Happy with level 34 though!
The driving ones were my favourite 😊

Update wrecked this

(I'm sure there is a way to bring it back with a look into the settings, was just funny to see first thing after the update)

The hell is this. Both native apps in the background too, Finder and Messages.

I decided to keep "Reduced Transparency" toggled on (causing this bug) because without it the blur they add to overflowing content (Like a message chain) takes time to snap in and just looks bad.

Obviously this is a minor/non issue, but the fact it's different at all is something.

On the Appearance page you have two "Choose Color..." options - both of which open different things lol.

Wish they didn't go so hard on the border-radius too...

Giving Element Note a try today as I'm after an iPad sketching tool for lo-fi web dev stuff, which isn't hell bent on pushing AI on me.

This one seems good so far, quite minimal, while still giving me a variety of pen types, snapping, shape building (Draw a rough rect 🪄✨ perfect rect)
