I didn't see any posts about it in my stream, so I'll mention that Oz turns 10 years old today.
Thank you Oz for inspiring Apps Framework and Boq.

Income targeting seems.. problematic on a number of levels given the distribution of income by ethnicity and gender.. I probably don't want to know how we calculate rich vs poor traffic.

Can't seem to find a way to get Desktop PWAs to work on a new laptop..
Currents/G+ isn't offering an install option and the PWA Anywhere app isn't really doing it's thing.
I seemed to have gotten some entries created but clicking on them opens a tab. Then I can go to the triple dot menu and click 'Open in Gmail' and the application window opens.
Sorry Chromebook, your screen lock timeout is way too short...

Google could refuse to work with Law Enforcement Agencies until they clean up their act. Minimum legal effort and that's it.
Not doing so puts people at risk.
Our time and assistance is valuable and a privilege so we should prioritize good actors over bad.

Finally solved a really weird network issue on my home network.
Multiple interfaces with different firewall rules on the same wire cause great confusion, but a few sysctl entries fix it.

@slightlylate @KevinJHill Better put it in the freezer if you want your GPU to survive.

Adding some new background music to the WFH mix. Come play! You can chat and make requests!

Installed Instagram just for chat.
It's... Really good. This is for 1:1 but the video and voice message sharing is simple, and you can respond by just lifting the phone to your ear. Kinda magical and beats the crap out of voice typing.
YMMV etc etc
Managed to teach an elderly aunt how to
- get text messages on her flip phone,
- so she could sign up for Skype
- so she could share her screen
- so I could help her diagnose her email problem
- using Windows Live Messenger
- by doing a Skype + Conference call with her ISP to change her password and settings.
So Skype requires a gmail/yahoo account (won't let you use a "business" account like kmtel) so sign up with phone was the only option.
Had to explain 'soft keys' plus there were 100 texts that had never been read.
Skype created account password wasn't confirmed, so had to change password
Windows Live Messenger is a hot mess. SO. MANY. BUTTONS.
pop3 + smtp with differing passwords (pop3 was fine, smtp not)
phew......
#til that xscreensaver is on Android and usable as live wallpapers.
"Hacking the Gibson" adds some nice cyberpunk aesthetic to my home screen...

Oh wow, I haven't read the issue cover-to-cover but I didn't see @waynecoyne mentioned there.
I'll make sure that I do this justice and will see if I can find an ANSI C (or A2) sized scanner for the cover art.
@[email protected] yeah, good times. Bad reception though! And Radio K only had a daytime AM license at the time. That's why they were 'open to 9pm'!!!
You had to work harder to listen to good music back then. @radiok remembers. I'm sure @djkevincole of #rev105 remembers.
Just amazing work by @chankfonts including design, content (and fonts!) and photography by @midwestartbuyer and tons of other people...
Will upload to @internetarchive when I'm happy with the results..
The @dnalounge webcast player sprouted a bridged IRC chat during the #deathguild DJ set. Will be really interesting once it switches back to the music video jukebox on https://www.dnalounge.com/musicvideos/

Anyone Chicago Googlers here?
Apparently there's a fire-bowl on the roof of the Chicago office. I happen to know the artist that made it. He asked me if anyone had photos of it they could share.
If you do let me know and I'll get them to him!

And here's the song of the same name by The Suburbs.
A huge shout out to Owen Murphy and John Richards for playing it this morning on KEXP and reminding us that we're not alone!

It's live! loving your anecdotes and the narration by @yeahrightpos
I do think it's time for an at-home 'Summer Splash Party' where we put on our swim gear and dance to disco 🕺💃.

Any of the Chrome folks want to figure out why SameSIte cookies are making
it impossible to add inline images in gmail compose?
Bug appears to be here:
Looks like it's more than just Googlers:
Hey kids, this is what live music was like back before the pandemic.
We'll all probably remember the first friend who contracted COVID-19. For me that's Andrea. She wrote about it on her Tinyletter.

Not to be grim about it but everyone may want to consider doing your paperwork for medical power of attorney and/or a health directive. At the very least partners should consider adding each other as trusted "https://healthy.kaiserpermanente.org/health-wellness/life-care-plan/choose-agent" (which is what Kaiser calls it). You'd be able to access tests and communicate with Doctors on behalf of each other.
Having gone through this I feel very fortunate that I was able to make medical decisions for another and knew what the right thing was to do.
Glad you got the site back up!
