The Bluesky Dictionary Can Bluesky say every word in the English language? Well this is your chance to find out.

Have you played around with AVIF & its noise synthesis features at all? It works really well in AV1 but I've had mixed results getting it to work with stills.

The year is 2025: Google Slides still doesn't support SVG files.

A land economics expert you say?!

Haha, I think regular maintenance on them should be pretty easy now that I have the bleed kit. Full bleeds are a 2 person job, one to inject oil and the other to plug the cup on the top end. Just topping it up is pretty easy to do yourself. Bring a friend! (Hint me!)

Docubyte - Photographer, Retoucher and Art Director Photographer, retoucher, art director and ultimate nerd, Docubyte is James Ball; a design and tech obsessive working under the pseudonym. Works fuse colour, subtle restorative manipulation and vintage...

Hey I'm right! Yeah, love his stuff, great choice!

Is the cover by James Ball by any chance? Looks like his style!

I really wanted to give this a go myself so I can do future maintenance on both hydraulic lines. Air gets in the loop after a while and now I know how to top it up AND do a full bleed! Hopefully I don’t have to do the latter for a while :’)

Today’s bike maintenance learnings: hydraulic disk brakes are kind of a pain in the ass!

I only got mineral oil everywhere once (turns out the fill port and the port release screw are two separate ports 😭

E-bike is working again and it the new front brake is much easier to align!

Instagram's stifiling of outlinks is terrible for anyone who isn't Instagram.

Rad! I feel like there was a way for folks to build your fork and test it before but this makes it a lot easier for less-code-inclined folks to give it a spin. I imagine some of the weapon rework changes could benefit from feedback?

Mad respect for all the work you've put in here!

That’s a hell of a list!

I know you’ve PRed some of your fixes upstream, is the plan to continue that or fully split it off as your own project?

Happy to hear it :)

honest question here: wasn’t crypto supposed to solve this?

it’s 2025, is there really no way “Stripe-but-actually-crypto” easy integration that does direct deposit?

SmokeSignal's user profile page. Users can see a list of recent activity and events, there's a settings button, and an option to import records.

Luma's Add to Calendar dialogue explaining that an email was sent that should have added an event to your calendar while also offering the user the option to add the event to Google Calendar, Yahoo, Outlook, or iCal.

Personal ICS feed sounds pretty cool... but I'm at a loss as to how to get it from the profile page?

Feed aside, I find it useful to be able to add single events to another calendar. Luma's "Add to Calendar" dialogue is pretty decent.

Having used SmokeSignal for the first time the other day to sign up for the 1 year retrospective (see ya there!), the #1 thing that stood out to me was the lack of ICS calendar download.

In retrospect though, the lack of private data (call link) sharing probably is the next big step to overcome.

Anyways, posting this while waiting for the server to installize.

When I was a kid I read "initializing" as "installizing" in the context of software starting up and this word has stayed in my vocabulary despite it completely not existing.

Go back! Do not enter this wretched place! Stay pure!

Screenshot of the blog post intro: Permissive vs Copyleft Open Source Published on Jul 9, 2025. The premise of copyleft licenses is attractive: Create more open source! With permissive licenses, someone can take the code and make proprietary modifications to it and sell it to other people without releasing the modifications. We want people to publish their improvements, right? With copyleft, we can force people to publish their improvements to copyleft code. Businesses will want to use our code because creating it was so much work in the first place. We need copyleft if we want more contributors, more open source, more code re-use, more freedom. Right? Wrong. In this post, I break down all the ways copyleft licenses fail to achieve their stated goals, and explain why permissive licenses succeed where copyleft fails.

I wrote a comprehensive post dispelling many incorrect assumptions about Copyleft vs Permissive open source licenses.

If you author/contribute to open source code, it's worth reading and understanding these nuances!
