check it out if that's your idea of a good time!~

#bulletjournaling today i watched a YT video and the person had a monthly wish list, directly next to their goals/todo-list. how great is that? I made one for my november setup too, to make sure I fit in some me-time and stuff for myself and time with friends the coming month!

There is a new wireless daemon for Linux called iwd, developed by Intel to be an alternative to wpa_supplicant. It is meant to be more lightweight, e.g. to run on embedded devices. Also, I think it should be more consistent in its view of the wireless network status, as I learned in the talk at the "All Systems Go" conference.

I just checked out and compiled the code: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/wireless/iwd.git/about/
It's released under LGPL.

preserving interactivity is the challenge; various communities (some unknowingly) made progress. I wrote about it: https://figshare.com/articles/Evaluating_Interactive_Archives/5483836 https://mastodon.social/media/tBGUrcFwf50RfyeEqzk

i was GOING to say:

can we somehow supplant, dismantle, or otherwise be rid of the academic publishing industry?

it seems rotten to the core

It was a simpler time in the 1990s

So please help our developer @charlag out:

We want to show the upload progress of media files - should it be a percent value or a progress bar? Or both?

And if we implement a tab to view a users media, would you prefer a fourth tab in profiles or should we hide it in the menu like the web version does?

I wish we could do UI/UX polls on what people would prefer for #tusky
1) Media upload progress - progress bar or percent as text?
2) Media tab in profile - forth tab (with scrolling tabs) or hidden in the menu?
