@odd I’ve never tried julebrus, but we have something called julmust here in Sweden. After reading up on Wikipedia, I think they are at least related. Do you have julmust in Norway?

@kimberlyhirsh Do you have an iPhone? If so, you can go from handwriting to Micro.blog post in seconds. ✒️ @c

@mrbeefy Me too. Is the GBA modded to support MagSafe as well? 😊

@prologic If @manton thinks this is out of scope for Micro.blog core, twtxt support could probably be added as a plug-in by a third-party developer.

@ndreas Have you seen the radio button “Show mentions only to people I’m following”? Checking it to remove mentions of people you don’t follow, resulting in a less busy timeline.

@jean Ideology aside – wanting to support Micro.blog – what would you say are the main advantages of this new feature compared to free (up to 1,000 subscribers) alternatives like Mailchimp’s RSS-to-email feature or MailerLite’s ditto?

@benwerd I think the email protocols (SMTP/IMAP) fit the actively-used, open, and subscribe to published content criteria. I’m not even joking. 😊 Email newsletters are still a thing, and you can subscribe to content updates via email in feed readers like Feedbin. JSON Feed is worth mentioning as well. I don’t know how actively used it is, though.

@artkavanagh I can’t find any use for it either. 😅 Just a curiosity, not meant to be taken too seriously.

@cygnoir If you’re on iOS 15, you should be able to use the camera to capture any text as I do in the video. You won’t have the “Draft In Micro.blog” action on your share sheet (that’s a custom shortcut I made), but you are free to do anything else with the captured text. For example, you could copy it or share it with any iOS app that accepts text (like Micro.blog).

@ndreas Hur gick det för dig på bolaget igår?

@ndreas jag håller tummarna för att det fungerar.

@ndreas Apple Pay works everywhere contactless payment is available. It’s the same technology (NFC) you probably already have and use in your plastic card. If it’s possible to “blippa”, you can pay with Apple Pay. 😊

@renevanbelzen Nice! Looks like the Raspberry Pi is still doing its job as an educational tool. 😊 Now that you’ve spent some time with the machine, how do you find it?

@ndreas Apple Pay (or alternative digital wallet) in your phone/watch can be a lifesaver. I rarely use my plastic cards nowadays.

@chrisaldrich WordPress makes an effort to convert emojis to images but fails somehow. I’m not sure why; maybe there’s no image replacement for that particular emoji? If you disable the wp_staticize_emoji filter, the emoji will show up correctly.

@chrisaldrich The emoji is present in the description element but stripped from the content:encoded element. So maybe @manton fetches the content from the latter?

@odd You could try delivering the island as a blockquote instead.

@odd Nice one! I managed the load it up just fine on my phone.

@odd I shared that island using a code block (three backticks) like this:

@odd Oh, no, you are probably after something like this?

@odd Do you mean like go play Townscaper? You can use Markdown syntax like this:

[go play Townscaper](https://www.townscapergame.com)

@maique Hmm. 🤔 It might be possible to add support for Flickr by developing a Micro.blog plug-in. What is the result on the actual page when you enter /image URL? Can you provide an example?

@g Episk tårta! Går allt att äta?

@vincent I’m using max.codes/latest/. It works okay and covers most, but not all, of my apps.

@zorn Hitting the plus and minus buttons and screaming out of frustration has been a regular occurrence for me this weekend. 😅

@renevanbelzen That’s okay, you don’t have to. 😊 In which way do the apps and web services that you do know about fail on amazon.nl?

@renevanbelzen I tried scraping amazon.nl just now with some of the tools in my toolbelt*, and it worked out okay. In which way does it break for you?

*Visualping, Apify, and the Firefox extension Distill Web Monitor.

@vincent I love that it’s possible to pin tagmoji for quick access to my favorite ones. Wouldn’t it be cool, though, if there was a view where posts from all pinned tagmoji were presented in a single feed?

@Cheri Me too! And I still have a couple of episodes left to enjoy. I’m trying to restrain myself from gobbling up the whole season at once. 😅

@simonwoods 🗡

@crossingthethreshold @Miraz Speaking of automation on Apple’s platforms: it might be worth checking out the Shortcuts app as well. It’s been available on iOS and iPadOS for a while and enables automating things via drag and drop. It’s coming to macOS Monterey this fall.

@ajennische En röd stuga med vita knutar. That’s the Swedish Dream right there. 🥰

@odd It has the same meaning in Swedish (knusa), but I don’t hear it used that often. For our mutual neighbors, who speak Danish, knus also means hug. @jean @renevanbelzen

@SamHawken Maybe JavaScript include with Sidebar.js is what you’re looking for?

@teisam I know the feeling. 😔

@yorrike Yeah, one can clearly see and feel what Nintendo learned from Skyward Sword and made better in Breath of the Wild. Are you playing with the button-only or motion controls?

@odd You have nothing to be sorry for. 😊 I was expecting a sticker from @jean, unknowing that @burk had sent one as well. A pleasant surprise, soon I will have two stickers. 🙌

@jean It’s my lucky day! 🎉 Now I just have to invest in a guinea pig shelter. And a guinea pig. 😊

@pimoore Yeah, that shade of green sure is yummy 😋, but it’s actually not wall paint. That’s a glimpse of the back of our bookshelf. Designed by House Doctor, but unfortunately, I don’t think it’s made anymore.

@odd Yes, it did! 😆 It’s entirely possible @burk sent it. It’s just that I was in a conversation the other day with @jean, who was about to send out stickers. Hmm. 🤔 Does this mean I get two stickers? 😅

Anyway, good work on the sticker design, @burk. I love it!

Hey @help, I have this banding problem with some of my photos. Vertical lines, like in the sticker photo above, only appear in the timeline at Micro.blog. The image in the original post looks a lot better. Is there anything I can do to avoid those artifacts?

@renevanbelzen Yay for colorful emojis! 🙌

@amit @ohBananaJoe @josephaleo @pimoore Thanks everyone; hopefully, there are many more milestones to celebrate ahead. 😊

@renevanbelzen I can’t remember from the top of my head, and unfortunately is too far away from a machine running Raspberry Pi OS right now. But on the Ubuntu machine, I have at hand, I can press Ctrl + . to show the emoji picker. Or right-click and choose Insert Emoji.

But it can very well be that Raspberry Pi OS lacks this support. So maybe something like Splatmoji could be worth checking out?

You could also look into installing additional fonts to get better support for emojis.

@jean Härligt! 😊 I’ll wait with excitement for the letter carrier to arrive.

@renevanbelzen This will be a valuable resource for others just getting started in the world of Hugo templates. I look forward to reading part one.

@jean Oh no, maybe I wrote like a spammer and was caught in a filter? 😅 A new mail should arrive at your inbox any second now.

@jean Wow, I think you just raised the value of the house quite a bit with that addition. Are you planning to put it on the market? 😄

(Regarding the sticker, do you see a mail from me in your inbox?)
