Have some performance issues to work out still, but the TextKit2 editor update for Drafts should be ready soon, for those folks wanting the “full" Writing Tools experience.

I’m likely going ship at least one version with the editor defaulting to TextKit1 still and the new editor as an advanced option.

Začalo jednání amerického zmocněnce Steva Witkoffa s Vladimirem Putinem v Moskvě. Ten před schůzkou řekl, že požadavky na ukončení války na Ukrajině, které spolu s Kyjevem vypracovali jeho evropští spojenci, jsou pro Rusko nepřijatelné.
Poslední verzi plánu, kterou upravili američtí a ukrajinští vyjednavači na Floridě, označil prezident Volodymyr Zelenskyj za vylepšenou variantu. I proto, že pamatuje na bezpečnostní záruky pro napadenou zemi a klade důraz na zachování ukrajinské suverenity.

Mosaic was the first web browser to hit the mainstream in 1993, built by NCSA at Illinois. 🌐 It integrated text, images, data, audio & video, sparking a web boom. Not the first browser, but the one that made the web usable for millions. Its legacy? Every browser since.

Visit its old website using your modern browser using the ⤵️ web.archive.org/web/1996122004

Image with text at the top that reads: "Wayback Machine Then and Gone" and "NCSA.UIUC.EDU/SDG/SOFTWARE/MOSAIC". Below is a Wayback Machine capture of the NCSA website for the Mosaic browser from December 20, 1996, alongside a stylized computer window featuring a pixel art frowning face representing that the website is gone labeled "Now".

Pyriodic Backend is on PyPi!

Pyriodic Backend, The Backend For the Small Web is my Python project, created to allow server-side updates of static HTML websites running on even the most basic hardware.

I'm using it to update my solar webpage (https://solar.stfn.pl/) with temperature and CPU information.

And now it's available on PyPi for everyone to easily install and use.

I would love to hear your feedback!

https://pypi.org/project/pyriodic-backend/

And the accompanying blog post:

I am once again begging, begging everyone to hold these 3 thoughts in their head at once:

1. Plastics recycling is not very effective. It’s far, far better to not use plastic at all in the first place, and that failing, far better to reuse.

2. Plastics recycling is not worthless or pointless. Don’t just throw it all away because “iT dOEsn’T matTeR.” A miserable 5% reclaimed is still better than 0% reclaimed.

3. Plastics recycling is nonetheless part of a petrochemical greenwashing campaign, per @CelloMomOnCars’s post below. mastodon.social/@CelloMomOnCar
