@Mandalorian Are you in the Apple ecosystem? If so, just enable text message forwarding and Safari will autofill SMS one time passwords – on all your devices.

@nielsk Hmm, sorry, you probably have to tap Invite with Link first (and cancel that invitation) to have the Copy Link alternative to show up on the share sheet.

@nielsk I’m on iOS 16, and it does exist for me. Maybe the note you’re on is saved locally on your device and not on iCloud?

@nielsk Are you using iCloud for your notes? If so, just tap the share icon followed by Copy Link. Now you have the URL of that note in your clipboard, ready to be pasted wherever you want.

@rom Not something I’m doing, but you could use a plugin like Feedzy to import your Micro.blog RSS feed items as posts on WordPress. Another alternative is automation platforms like Zapier.

@jtalon It turned out great!

@nitinkhanna Yeah, it definitely comes across that way based on the copy on the site. But Kill the Newsletter is really just an email to Atom feed service. Sure, you can set up one email address per newsletter. But you don’t have to.

You can also have one inbox for all your newsletters. And it’s not just for newsletters either, any mail forwarded to the address will appear in the Atom feed.

Instapaper sounds like a great alternative as-well. 

@ndreas Härligt, jag är grymt imponerad!

@nitinkhanna You could just forward the newsletters to Kill the Newsletter. Either manually or by setting up automatic forwarding.

@jackwellborn Huh. I recently bought Skyward Sword HD to replay this adventure but stopped halfway through. Not sure why then, but now I know. It lacks purpose. Right on!

@lukebouch Whatever name you choose, I will tune in and listen. 😊

@jayeless Libraries are the best. 🥰

@maique Wow, it turned out great. Love it! 🤩

@schmarty I love your Caturday updates. 🥰 But the video won’t appear in Gluon (it plays fine in the official client, though). Is that just me, or is it a Gluon thing, @vincent?

@maique @cliffordbeshers I’m still alive! 😅 Maybe it’s not into feasting on humans?

@pimoore Remember when we talked about my bookshelf? The desk happens to be designed by the same company, House Doctor. 😊

@vincent: Oh, have you kept it alive for all these years? 😊 If you’re curious about the technical side of Tamagotchi, Natalie Silvanovich’s work is worth checking out. It’s a rabbit hole, though. I especially enjoyed reading Reliable Code Execution on a Tamagotchi (PDF).

@odd I can see why. 😋

@cygnoir I’m intrigued; thanks for the tip!

@hollyhoneychurch Happy birthday! 🥳

@odd And winter is coming. 😱

@amit Ahh, I predict Amit’s Long-Form Markdown Micro.blog Web Client in a not too distant future. 😊

@jemostrom Tack!

@annahavron Thanks! 🥰

@Munish Thanks! Oh, no, she did not. 😱 Are we going to be hunted by lousy luck now? 😄

@amit Maybe there’s a web-based client out there waiting for you? 😊 Quill is one alternative, Unicyclic.com another, and there’s probably more.

@kottkrig Kul att de föll i smaken! Och så roligt för mig att de kommer till användning igen. 😊

@jean Happiest photo of the day is no small feat. 😊 Thanks, Jean! And thanks for spreading the alt text gospel.

@pratik Yeah, I know, a bit of a hasty decision, but we both feel confident it was the right thing to do. 😉

Oh, wow, thanks, everyone, for cheering us on! 🥰 @crossingthethreshold @pratik @pimoore @rcrackley @the @jean @cdevroe @lmika @vincent @manton @skoobz @frogplate @toddgrotenhuis @jayeless @maique @ptrck @kottkrig @amit @rom @odd @klagefall @Sylari @furstenberg

@vincent 🥳 Worked like a charm!

@the I haven’t made any actual calculations yet, but it’s definitely there in the back of my head, along with solar cells and other solutions. Someday I hope to be less dependent on the electricity market and its ups and downs.

@maique @crossingthethreshold I’m more than okay with taking the blame. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, actully. 😊

@odd @eli Wow! A whole thread dedicated to alt texts. 😍 You’re all heroes making the web more accessible one image description at a time. Thank you!

@amit Woohoo, nicely done! Remember to celebrate the release. 🎉

@the It’s fully dynamic. I pay whatever the current spot price on the European power market. That said, patterns evolve based on supply and demand. Electricity is cheaper at night and on weekends, for example. And windy days are usually good days.

@jamescousins The Shortcut handles the upload as well. In my case, that means committing the file to a git repository (via GitHub’s API).

That’s super easy to do with the weirdly named action called Get contents of URL (that also can make POST and PUT requests, despite its name).

But depending on how you host your blog, you might have to do something completely different.

@jack I hear you! I love static site generators like Hugo and Jekyll, but using them without a Headless CMS can be painfully slow and cumbersome.

I’ve successfully used Netlify CMS and Forestry with customers’ websites and my own hobby projects.

I also use Shortcuts for my blog. “Hey, Siri, new post” gives me this:

Then, I just write what’s on my mind and hit Done.

Setting up a headless CMS or creating a Shortcut is a bit of work, though, and not for everyone.

@vincent This is definitely not my area of expertise, but are you sure you need to charge VAT when there’s no exchange of neither goods nor services? It’s a donation. I freely give my internet friend some monies and expect nothing in return. 😊

@iChris A post 280 characters or less is a micro post, with some aditional timeline display rules.

@vincent Maybe it’s just me? But I checked a few other Stripe Payment Links, and Apple Pay showed up on them. Paying with a card worked fine, though. 😊

@vincent Nice! To make it even easier to give you money, you could consider activating Apple Pay at that checkout.

@Mandalorian Welcome to Sweden! I hope you will have a good time here. Right now, I’m a bit further up the country, but around this time next week, I will be where you are now. We are taking a road trip down the country.

@amit What an interesting approach to finding the next read. Thanks for sharing this!

@pratik Your kind words in this post warmed my old developer heart. ❤️ Thanks!

@toddgrotenhuis Oh, thank you, I’m feeling great. It’s just that I’ve accumulated stuff on my to-sell heap for a while now. 😅

The reMarkable is not for sale, sorry. I wanted a photo that looked yard sale-ish and just grabbed stuff close by. 🤪 The reMarkable is lovely, and I use it for devouring technical books, manga/comics, and most long reads like blog posts and articles.

@pratik Yes, you’re very welcome to send me an email.

@kottkrig Jag tror det är första generationen då sladden har en aluminiumbeklädd kontakt. Hörlurarna är svarta. Skicka ett mejl till mig om du är intresserad så kan jag svara med fotografier i morgon.
