Looks like the smart ring I got can't be used to show average heart rate inside gadgetbridge. 😢

Luckily gadgetbridge is open source so there's a chance I could add support for it myself!

For front end devs that have a bit of framework fatigue: Check out this easy to use "data binding" library: rivetsjs.com/docs/guide/

No build step, just a plain old object bound to HTML with custom attributes for conditionals and iteration.

Website on mobile: oh, you want to track that order? You'll have to install our app. Tracking information is only available in the app. (Under its breath) you captive audience scum.

Website on mobile in desktop mode: certainly sir! Here's the tracking number and a hyperlink to the post service we used, would you like a coffee while the rest of the page loads?

Whenever a website tells you to install an app for basic functionality, switch your browser to desktop view. Don't accept their lies.

This heat wave is absolutely bone crushing, and I'm so glad that I installed central air two years ago.

Reviewing my talk and I'm not sure I'll be able to fit it all into 30 minutes tonight 💀

The big problem, as I see it, is that Mastodon is now opening the pandora's box of making the content licensing situation of the Fediverse explicit, which in a federated environment will be *very* hard to do without crushing someone's toes, somewhere. (Personally, I really *liked* that all this time the licensing situation of Mastodon has been implicit; I was happy just letting laches and deletion notices do all the work. But I understand if Mastodon gGmbH doesn't feel they can do that forever.)

BROSLEEP Weighted Suppression Shroud

This ain’t a blanket—it’s a full-body restraint system for when your demons start whispering after lights out. 40 lbs of pure, bro-approved compression. Like being pinned by a wrestler who never judges your nightmares. Sleep hard. Feel nothing.

Unix Errno would be a great Star Wars character name
