Really grinds my gears that #MacOS doesn't allow apps with an "always on top" setting, except of course for some of its own. I want to use #Logseq to jot down quick thoughts as I browse the web. To do so, I have to narrow my browser window to make the other app window visible, wasting screen real estate.

The Apple-made apps Stickies and Notes however both have options to float on top.

Just discovered something about copy/paste behaviour that new users of #logseq might want to know.

Right-clicking an image on a web page and selecting "copy image" and then pasting into Logseq used to paste in the image, and save the file to the 'assets' folder. For newer versions of Logseq, this is a toggle that needs to be switched on. The default is to load the image from the external URL. This means you won't see the image if you're offline, or if the image is deleted from the server.

"The extinction of clip art as a concept is a looking glass reflecting what makes the modern computer experience so unpleasant. It’s not even that nothing is free anymore; it’s that nothing is its own product anymore—everything has been reduced to the piecemeal, from individual images to creative labor itself. It is actually cheaper for me to hire a graphic designer on Fiverr than it is to buy a single image on Shutterstock." #graphicdesign #clipart

I've really been enjoying using my phone with a #lapdock. It's a great way to understand just how fast your phone is compared to most laptops, and the productivity experience we're missing out on due to the tyranny of narrow screens:

Just got a #chromebook to use essentially as a cheap Android laptop. Lots to learn: Just finding out that right-click is a two-finger tap on the trackpad. Actually clicking/tapping the right side of the trackpad (which would act as right-clicking on Windows and Mac) does nothing!

I really like the clear information architecture, and the decision to make it a multi-page site, instead of one long Wikipedia-style article. It makes sense as each page has slightly different header images, which would be anathema in today's world of bog-standard CMS templates.

Came across this fansite from the #oldweb. First created in 1999, it's been incrementally updated, but kept its original style. The guestbook still works! It's such a pleasure to navigate labour-of-love sites like this on an internet where most sites have been stripped of creativity to fit into a boring 'mobile-first' design.
