I've spent an ungodly amount of time this week thinking about Jim has a really smart way of adding edit links to his site that open in native apps. Mondegreen "is a mishearing or misinterpretation of a phrase in a way that gives it a new meaning". The etymology is so good - "mondegreen" is a misheard word from a 1765 book. (via Friendship Material) I learned about Aviation English which is "the de facto international language of civil aviation". Native English are worse at it in emergency situations because they tend to deviate from the standard. Fun stuff. Cory was seeing the same as me in his analytics - lots of automated traffic from China. He came up with a blunt way to deal with it. Matthias is seeing similar issues. I don't know how the we get out of this shit. I don't have a use for it right now, but Datasette looks very interesting. This post by Dan Abramov is a great explainer of what can, in theory, be good about AT Protocol, the protocol that powers Bluesky. Handy is a "free and open source app for speech to text". Nice. I'm not in the market for a new Git system but if I was then Radicle would be on my list. Purveyors of Packaging is a goldmine of old packaging design. [via SimpleBits] Font Tools is a collection of, well, font tools. Handy. This PS2 recompilation project has me very excited. I learned about Poste Restante "a service designed for travellers who don’t have a permanent address". Send stuff to any post office and mark it as "poste restante" and the recipient can pick it up. Seems to be available all over the world. This list of suffixes for street names has some great ones I've never heard of - "Twitten" anyone? This post about search engines with their own indexes has a lot of great info in it.the Roman Empire how IRC could work for small communities - clients, servers, setup, maintenance. The Lounge is the best client in my opinion but it doesn't support all the new features of IRC like reactions and avatars. It's close to perfect though. I already posted about this but it's worth putting here too: two posts about setting up an IRC server like it's 2006; one from Melanie using Treafik and Coolify and one from Adam which is a pretty in-depth starter guide.
