German Liberals want fracking which would release incredible amounts of CO2 and dampen the progress towards renewables. We have to stop producing CO2 asap, not access new reservoirs to release into the atmosphere.

Finding people you follow on Twitter in the Fediverse

Use this handy tool by @Luca@vis.social to find users in the Fediverse that you follow on Twitter: I wrote a nano tool that tries to extract the #Fediverse accounts of your #Twitter followings: https://fedifinder.glitch.me/ It searches for the patterns @user@host.tld, user@host.tld and …

Fake tweet generator

I love how none of these “AI generated” tweets sound like anything I would tweet: If 75% of your product’s revenue comes from 25% of your customers, what do you do about that? (helping an e-commerce founder figure out their revenue model) What (if any) are your favorite B2B products? …

I’m looking forward to Microblogvember!

I really wished people would spend more time on their gardens compared to mowing lawns. Nonstop soundscape today. 😞

There seems to be the misconception that Twitter is the community. But it is not. It is just the pub, now with a new owner and menu. Some people take that opportunity to try out new places. And maybe another place becomes your friend group’s new favorite.

I created a list of #FollowFriday people on non-Twitter over on my blog. It’s great to have known faces in the conversation! → Accessibility in the Fediverse (and Mastodon)

I enabled cross postong from my primary instance (@yatil@micro.yatil.net) to my Mastodon instance (@yatil@toot.cafe) as many people seem to find the latter. Nothing wrong with that!

Periodical reminder that Freedom Scientific should Set JAWS free!

Manuel got suspended on Twitter for apparently nothing… It’s a valuable lesson on the importance to have your own website. www.matuzo.at/blog/2022…

Updating all the things to all the new versions. 🍎

So, no spoiler review of The Power of the Doctor: I enjoyed it.

Prepping for the final Chibnall era episode of Doctor Who. This better be good! ;-)

I’d like to display what type of trash is getting collected on my Inkplate 6COLOR and it seems to be impossible to extract the week number out of a epoch integer to extract the type out of an array. Thinking of other ways to do it now…

Excellent win at the Snooker Northern Ireland Open from Zhou Yuelong over David Gilbert, very tight match, but he played very consistently. 🎱🔴

Icons (and graphics) on an Inkplate 6COLOR

One of the more complicated things was how to show icons on the Inkplate 6COLOR. Now, generally it is pretty easy: You take the graphic, you convert it into a C header file, import it and then render it to the screen. However, there are a few challenges: The drawBitmap3Bit function that is used …

Super happy about a new song from Peter Fox. Fourteen years after the last album, it’s really nice to have him doing solo stuff again. Guess I’m now a Seeed fan for over 20 years, if I think about it… Better not 😂

PSA: Both, the Saturn V rocket (which I have and is delightful) and the International Space Station are on LEGO’s “Retiring Soon” page in Germany. You’ve been informed!

So, did I just draft a blog post about my WCAG 2 worries? Yes. Is it likely that I won’t publish it after all? Also yes. Was it still a good exercise? Maybe. Time will tell…

Me: “Oh, this looks like a nice cycling route.” Website: “Put me on your list to cycle here!” Me: “OK, how do I get to the start without a car?” Website: “There’s a bus. No bikes allowed on there.” Me: 🤦🏻‍♂️ 🚴🏻‍♂️

Don’t remove content from the web, especially if it was published less than a year ago. People (me!) might rely on referring back to it. Just keep it online.

I often think how fit the bike people on YouTube must be that they manage to go many more kilometers than I usually do. Then I realize that they cycle in flat areas. Even my short route today had 230m elevation gain.

Very good Snooker action from Northern Ireland Open so far. Final frame from Judd Trump was superb, that three ball combination was excellent. And now Reanne Evans and Mark Selby with an excellent, if nervous, contest.
