Not a jeffk fan? Dammit I’m so old

I loved FrontPage. You could whip up a site in no time. The code it created was a disaster, but to be fair it worked fine.

I’d often use a WUSSYWAGON editor like FrontPage to make up a design and see how it looked, then just redo it by hand (or at least MAJORLY edit it) in Notepad so it wasn’t spaghetti.

I made a site for my dad’s business in FrontPage (then edited in Notepad) back in the very early 00s and hosted it on the 5MB of web space provided by the dialup provider at the time. It’s still there and exactly the same, though I had to move it to another provider in the late 00s when the ISP went bust. It’s gonna outlive him, and possibly me.

We’re gonna end up with a Blink monopoly, aren’t we?

I’ve always thought that mold is the fungus, and to mould is to shape.

I actually do this too. Not because I think it’s correct as such, but because that way I am consistent and I know what I’m talking about when I read back previous text that I’ve written.

I remember it by Mold = simplified English = simple organism.

I’ve been using FX File Explorer since 2012. It’s straight up the best file manager on Android, especially when you use SMB and SFTP. Multi window makes moving things around easy as, and the built in text editor works a treat. Being able to share images from apps to FX’s “Save As” option is awesome to. It means every app can save where you want.

No idea why it isn’t more popular compared to the alternatives.

Spondulix

That’s an odd name. I’d have called them dollarydoos.

I’m sure they’re making all sorts of valid points, but it seems like all they had was a notes app that supports markdown? There’s about a billion free versions of them on the Play store.

I love that this post was like four rows below this one on my front page:

I prefer to argue on the internet via my phone, which I can type pretty fast on thanks to the swipe to type

I’m the opposite… I rarely reply when I’m on my phone because swiping and tapping away at the touchscreen keyboard is so slow and inaccurate. I spend more time correcting swypos than I do writing I think.

Meanwhile on the desktop I can punch out a shining example of wit (or at least a spoonerism of that) at 100+ wpm at 100% accuracy.

Sent from my phone, slowly.

I can’t set a reminder.

I said “Hey Google, set a reminder to feed the dog at 9am tomorrow” and it seems to work fine?

The one in my hand with a silicon case feels fine. Camera bump is only obnoxiously noticeable when it’s naked.

On the plus side, the more people who don’t use password managers the more chance us password manager users will remain not worth the effort.

It’s kinda like security through obscurity mixed with only having to be faster than the slowest person to outrun a lion.

Oh, right.

Sadly that is not an option for firefox on android yet

Eh?

I use to get a “trk special” at the local takeaway - they literally added it to their menu board because I got it so frequently and other people who heard also got it.

It was three pieces of bread, all the salads (tomato, lettuce, carrot, onion, cucumber, beetroot) and aioli sauce on the bottom, then a spicy kebana sliced horizontally with a heap of pepper sauce and a slice of cheese on the top layer. Quick toast with butter so the outer slices gave a tiny bit of crisp and the cheese starts to sag and voila.

Another one they added to their menu board was the “xxxx trucks special” which was named after a local business. All the apprentices there used to buy this one because it was cheap and filling. It was a fresh toasted hotdog roll, with a sausage roll instead of a sausage, and a heap of butter and tomato sauce.

Doesn’t work on Firefox for Android

Not sure why I’m bothering to check when there’s other superior options that already work though.

Please drink verification can

Doesn’t seem to stop a lot of drivers

People who still use Twitter: why?

Why do Shorts (and Reels, and Stories, and whatever other catchy names they give short form videos) even exist?
