I’m quite happy with how v1.8 of the TIL site has ended up. Feels like the small improvements have added up over the past few updates, and the larger redesigned elements are always fun to reveal. This time around the footer got the big change:

Have yet to spend time learning Hugo; evenso I enjoy working on the theme for @TIL with some HTML and CSS. I love that I can make design choices knowing that in the future I’ll be able to implement at the template level, with basic customisation then left for temporary changes.

Bokeh is dead.

Long live Glass.

Neighbour wins privacy row over smart doorbell and cameras – Jane Wakefield

The judgment reads that Dr Fairhurst was “alarmed and appalled” to notice that he had a camera mounted on his shed and that footage from it was sent to his smartphone.

Can confirm: TodayPoster works like a charm.

Hoping we still get a day’s worth of wiggle room for late entries in the photo challenge 🙏 @jean @challenges

Between the coffee and catching up on Core Intuition it looks like Finish Friday is a reality for me with @TIL today. 💪

The folks at iA have made a new Twitter account 👀

Now that the History page for TIL is up to date I have no doubt that the team is about to drop a big update 😂

First day of the return of @TIL 🎉

Now in the new house, with a computer that is so very good, and a much better environment overall… this is a much more substantial return, thankfully, finally.

I’m looking at these screenshots of the new Safari UI on Daring Fireball, and am reminded of when I recently used my wife’s M1 MBP. Now I am using my own MBP, it is 10 years old, and I’m using High Sierra… seriously, @gruber, my Safari is better which is just ridiculous.

The new @challenges feed is great. 👍

Brand new part of @TIL is prepared and ready to go 😎

I have been stunned by the outpouring of support from the Micro.blog community, having asked for donations to help my family survive the next month.

I will say more but for now: thank you all so much, you’re amazing. ❤️

Donations remain open; I’ll now stop posting reminders.

A last message about my request for donations:

Yesterday I posted a Plea For Help. My wife and I are struggling to make ends meet and in the past 24 hours the response has been amazing. I struggle to find the words to express my gratitude. 🙏
