I make apps and write novels and cook up a mean pesto.

@bigzaphod @gedeonm @Iconfactory Hey, not sure if this is intended functionality or if I’m doing something wrong in Tapestry, but for me the YouTube connector doesn’t load videos. It loads a gray panel with error 153. Am I doing something wrong with how I set this up or is there some YouTube limitation?

Hey all, I’ve been quiet here for a while, but I’ve been busy and have a bunch of announcements to share over the next few months!

First: I’m launching a new app on the App Store soon! It’s called Cadence and I’m really proud of it. I think it solves a problem most other apps fail to address.

It’s your place for keeping track of recurring tasks, designed to reduce stress rather than adding to it. Minimalist, efficient, beautiful, and customizable.

Can’t wait to share more soon!

Trump says he's fine. Good. Now, let's talk about political violence in America.

FACT: Since 2015 there's been no greater promoter of political violence in America than Donald Trump. Here are the receipts that legacy media needs to publicize widely: https://qasimrashid.substack.com/p/yes-political-violence-is-unacceptable

Yes Political Violence Is Unacceptable

But do MAGAs actually believe that?

Hire 👏 Better 👏 Leaders

If your management and leadership teams can’t manage information workers without return to office initiatives or excessive monitoring, the leaders are the problem, not the employees. There are plenty of people out there who know how to keep people motivated and productive. Lots of them are looking to get away from these sorts of companies.

Talked to a very smart person this afternoon who reminded me: climate fatalism ("it's too late") is a soft form of denialism.

Everything we do from here is worthwhile. It counts, it makes a difference. No matter what damage has been done, we can still make things better than if we had done nothing. We can still look after the world, look after our friends and family. Action has results.
The American tech scene would explode in a second Renaissance if the US got basic universal health care as a public right.

@idreesinc Hey! Just installed your Waypoints plugin for Obsidian and I had a (hopefully stupid) question.

I’m trying to set up a template that I can map to my folder notes to automatically include %% Landmark %% by default when I create them, but adding that to the template note automatically tries to process and throws an error. Is there any way to exclude my Template folder from being processed? Or some other workaround I’m unaware of? Thanks in advance!

Update: Working now! (Mysteriously)

@helvetica Love Puzzmo, but curious why this keeps happening? Is there some aspect of Flipart scoring other than time / rotates?
