Screenshot of a MacOS computer, showing the app Disk Inventory X, displaying a treemap of all the directories and files on my computer, their relationships, and their relative sizes. The package `Photos Library.photoslibrary` is massively dominating everything else. It’s 640 GB out of 816 GB total. So around 78% of my data is my photo library.
😅 I might be something of a photo hoarder 😅
(My photo library is everything above the yellow line.)

TIL the word "conversance" which is the nominalization of "conversant" — "familiar with or knowledgeable about something"
Also TIL the word "nominalization" — "convert (a word or phrase, as a verb or adjective) into a noun"

How Boomers Ruined Cars
YouTube video by Climate Town
Ever wonder why everyone is driving a literal tank to the grocery store? Automakers exploited a 1970s "light truck" loophole to dodge safety and emissions rules. Now our streets are a warzone for pedestrians, all for profit margins.

Photo of a high speed DC fast charger for electric vehicles with a sign taped to it which reads:
Shell Recharge
Download the Shell App to Charge Today!
Heads up, drivers!
The Shell Recharge stations at this location have been decommissioned.
Download the Shell App to access more than 115,000 charge points in the Shell Recharge roaming network.
Photo of two charging bays with offline chargers. The bays are blocked by orange cones.
This is why EV charging companies shouldn't sell out to fossil fuel companies.

Thanks! I figured as much so I already switched. You might want to add something to the docs though. This could trip up beginners (and/or LLMs)

@val.town I just remembered — another concern I had was with the blob store. As far as I can tell via the docs, it would seem probably quite susceptible to race conditions, especially if used in HTTP handlers. So… maybe it’s more appropriate to use with a cron trigger?

It feels odd to make a change and then run `vt push` — there are no commits and no way to annotate my changes. I get that it’s simpler and probably better for those who don’t know Git. But for me it feels odd. That said, it’d probably work just fine in conjunction with Git. I might try that.

Trying out @val.town and so far it’s mostly good stuff!
The only thing I’m still not sure about is the lack of any kind of support for, or integration with, Git.

Screenshot of a New York Times article at nytimes.com with the headline “Goose Is a Jam Band. Geese Is Indie Rock. They Both Have New Albums.” And the sub-headline “They’re also both on tour. Confused? We can help.” And then photos of both bands, I guess.
Seriously?

Screenshot of a git commit tree from the Mac app GitUp, showing a main branch, into which a branch `scanning` has been merged, and we can see that origin/scanning has a different set of commits, off of which the branches art, art2, and art3 are based. There’s also an art4 branch off of main. It’s a mess.
This is fine.

It's been three weeks since the storm. Shovel out these cars, tow them, and turn the space into bike parking, public seating, on-street garbage containerization, bioswales... anything other than car storage would serve more people than this.
