The OPML Editor is my fork of the Frontier code base, started in 2004. It runs on today's Macs. In the flurry of activity in April, I broke the Mac part of the download page. I have now fixed it. 💥#
I've decided to get involved on Instagram. My name is davew there. It's weird they don't let you post pictures from the desktop web browser. You have to go into the JS debugger and tell it to emulate a phone browser. Then you can upload an image.#
I'm also going to start using Mastodon. I see they call their posts toots. I'm sorry but that makes me think of farts. If they'd have asked me I'd have said to call them grunts or snorts. After all I can't imagine a mastodon tooting. That's the kind of thing a monkey might do. BTW, little known fact, my handle on CompuServe back in the 80s was Mastodon. PS: I absolutely despise dark backgrounds. Hurts my eyes. I can only read dark text on light backgrounds. #Ever since Facebook turned off the API, doing something new with Little Card Editor has been on my todo list. One thing I wanted to be able to do is include a card in my blog, the same way I include a tweet. I thought I'd have to factor out the card renderer in the app, so I could call it from my blog renderer, but there's a much dumber and simpler approach, just include the image of the card as it appears in Twitter. It works. As you can see in this post. So I am able to do that now. Bingo. ✓#
- What it means to be inclusive#
- I don’t care how you got to the party. Whether you took the subway, walked, came by spaceship or were driven by your chauffeur. What’s important is you’re here.#
- Non-inclusive vs inclusive#
- You can advocate for your cause by pushing away people who you don't identify with, or you can be inclusive, and take support where you get it. Most of the great causes we remember are the inclusive kind. The ones that demonize or ridicule "others" tend to result in war.#
- Two views of America#
- The Constitution is inclusive. It started out with some huge holes. Over the generations we've been closing them. That's been the clear trend.#
- The Trump movement is non-inclusive. It says there are real Americans, white, rural, Christian, male-dominated. They say these are traditional American values. This isn't new, this thread has been a constant since the beginning. It's the regulator on change happening too fast.#
- One of the reasons the Trump style America is ascendant is that the inclusive America has been moving forward at a rapid pace in the last few generations, post-World War II. Recently, we had an African-American president, the ultimate in other-ness, and we have removed gender from the concept of marriage. That's a lot of change happening very quickly, within ten years. #
- To heal we have to come out the other side with our inclusive principles intact.#
