The weblog of Steve Ivy, going since 1999 in one form or another. Still something of a CMS junkie.
XVI Edition.

Unacceptable. Americans, please give this a read, Helen is speaking truth about us.
Ro had this article sitting in his “saved” list, and I’ve been reading it all afternoon on and off. It’s by Helene Schouten, and was written in October 2015, and it’s a real eye-opener. I won’t quote it yet, because that would mean reducing it to “important” or “notable” parts and I haven’t spent nearly enough time with it to tell which parts to safely extract without breaking it.
Now that I’m blogging more often, I often find myself uploading screenshots. MacOS’ capabilities are fine, except that I don’t really like uploading files with names like “Screen Shot 2020-02-10 at 10.38.34 PM”.
Yesterday I asked:
Are there any #macos screenshot utilities that will simply let me name the file before saving it? (My needs are simple, the OS’ own utility is quite sufficient except for the name thing)
My old Six Apart mate Simon Wistow mentioned Monosnap a free utility that does exactly that - lets me name the file before saving it.
(Conveniently, it also make recording gif screen captures stupid easy)

I’ve heard the “praising talent vs praising skill” argument before, but I never connected praising someone’s “innate talent” with praising their “breeding”, which of course sounds archaic (and probably racist) and completely invalidates the person’s hard work and vision.

The blogger’s lament: staring at your incredibly clever post wondering why no one is linking to it

Evidence of the first Webmention GoldFrog has sent for a post on this site.
Horst just recently implemented Webmentions on his site, so I’m happy to be able to give him a link!

It seems that there is no good thing that our white capitalist society cannot turn to evil - take for example the independent contractor #work #capitalism
