Congratulations!!

Setup, backup, and login are nouns. Begin Setup Your login attempt See Latest Backup They can also be adjectives: Setup Assistant Login Window Backup Procedure They are NOT verbs: I setup my account First, login here How can I backup? Set up, back up, and log in are verbs. Let’s set up your account Click here to log in Back Up Now An easy way to test for this: put it in the past tense. If setup was a single-word verb, you would (goofily) say: I setupped my account. Next, I loginned. When I backupped, These are just three such verbs that include a preposition; there are many more. You know the difference between nouns and verbs. You can do this.

So many apps and websites out there get this wrong (given their focus on such verbs) that I finally sitdowned, rollupped my sleeves, and speakupped in visual form. A sign for me to tap in the future!

Afraid to say that I will no longer be trusting you with my life

Project Hail Mary is pretty good eh

DOOM fully rendered in CSS. Every surface is a <div> that has a background image, with a clipping path with 3D transforms applied. Of course CSS does not have a movable camera, so we rotate and translate the scene around the user.

Looking at spending a week in #Scotland in mid-June. I'm planning on a 3-day tour to and around the Isle of Skye, and basing myself out of Edinburgh the rest of the time. Would love to hear people's recommendations about hikes, things to do, (vegetarian-friendly) restaurants to visit, etc!

A 3x3 grid of photos from February, featuring multiple attempts at homemade latte art, a Happy Lemon bubble tea, a Formula 1 car, me and Megan holding up paintings we made that combine to form a constellation in the shape of a heart, a couple photos of me and Megan skating on Ottawa’s Rideau Canal and in front of the Beavertails shack on the ice, a peach cocktail, and a screenshot of my return to Animal Crossing after nearly 4 years.

February

(A little bit of a quieter month)

You’re telling me it’s not even 8am and I have to live with this loss the whole day #hockey

Not sure how I feel about the Americans taking advantage of the fact that their white uniforms apparently make them invisible to the referees

Gonna need heart medication after this one #hockey

Not many things will get me to wake up at 5:00am but the Canada vs US gold medal #hockey game is one

Collage of various January activities: my girlfriend with a camera, a winter sunset from the train, various warm drinks, Château Frontenac, afternoon tea, festive streets, Québécois poutine, colourful lights from a night walk, winter tubing on a hill, cats at a cat cafe, several ramens, my cat Alfred under towels, and homemade pasta.

January

Moved from Reeder Classic to GoodLinks this week for my read-it-later app and yeah it was definitely time

Folks, she brought a whole plate of spaghetti to the broadcast center to do her headshot. She then houses that spaghetti.

Mattia sips on an espresso during his.

Truly the heroes we need during these times.

Hey @bsky.app ! Are you planning on implementing authenticator app or passkey support? Either would be really amazing!

Congratulations!!

A collage of 20 photos including my cat Alfred in a box, coffee in a pink Christmas tree mug, sake in a wooden box, an Alien Robot Museum sign, tons of landscapes and starry night shots from Joshua Tree, fancy plated dinners (including several pizzas), Alcatraz from a distance, an SF street car, and a couple of selfies.

November

“Scheduled” and “Actual” departure and arrival times for an Alaska Airlines flight, stacked vertically. Both “Actual” times have “ETA” to the left of the time

Alaska Airlines, you keep using that word "ETA". I do not think it means what you think it means.

MUPPET KNIVES OUT

Yeah I didn’t think I’d be finishing last night until suddenly I found myself on my 5th hour straight of gameplay lol, the story hooked me

Dispatch is a phenomenal game

Really easy to digest too at ~9 hours, finished it over the course of two evenings

Exactly what it says on the label: The Pope in 1982. He's wearing a black hat, dark RayBans, and looks like he's a member of the Blues Brothers.

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck?

It's the Pope in 1982.
