@RobotDiver@starlite.rodeo I am going to make a different presumption of what you mean than the other comments I see. Tap color pro is the one I have historically used and I just can't with the ai now. I do like Atti land & atti land 2. They both share that they don't get further images, they're scoped as they are. I simply started over at some point. I have also enjoyed polygon in the past but I haven't opened it in forever.

@inherentlee >there is no substitute for actually asking users. I agree, thus my disclaimer :) As far as I understand from our stuff, the anchor itself shouldn't be visible just like it isn't to seeing eyes, the headers are what's visible. The anchor comes into play when you link to it. And if said links are on the same page, like for instance in a contents list/on this page menu, that'll show up, and for the screen reader will be a duplicate to the header list, this is normal. (Good/bad?🤷)

@inherentlee not a screen reader user but I design for screen readers. Screen reader users should get more consideration than what I say. Anchor links usually go to a header (like all the h2), which, if correctly set up, should already show up as usable navigable choices in the screen reader. I highly recommend (and I recommend this to all ui designers and frontend devs) to get a common screen reader and learn to use it (without looking, ideally, turn the monitor off), it's VERY educational.

PSA: As it's getting warmer in the northern hemisphere, a reminder (especially to those who live places where AC isn't standard and where heatwaves are also becoming frequent); the gel cooling pads for dogs to lie on are also good for humans, and they're cheap and pack down small when not needed. They take no electricity.
Smaller ones for sitting on, and there's large ones, I have one I put under the fitted sheet on my bed (its 140x70cm).

@jasmine@chaosfem.tw I'll try the "make things easier to swallow" lubricating covers on the ones I have first. I got them for something that stunk and tasted, btw, and they work well to cover things. Condom for your pills

@herzleid I never got around to switching to a winter duvet, but since we sleep with the window wide open yearround there's been like four blankets heaped on top as a workaround. In many ways snugglier, a cozy nest.

Today is the first day it's too warm for a knitted sweater/cardigan inside when I work. Too cold for just a tee, need a long sleeve shirt but linen is enough. I think the warmer flannel pants/thick sweatpants are also maybe done for the year as indoors/at home wear, time to switch to linen pants. Outside still needs warmer clothes.

@PacificNic@zeroes.ca reasonably certain the fad for wearing hats among that one pod up your way some years ago was parodying humans.

Replying to @broadwaybabyto@zeroes.ca

@broadwaybabyto I agree that the reasoning is sound. Have you looked into getting a portable air filter, for the purpose of further increasing safety? Not one of the voc ones, (to not affect your sniff test), but a particle catcher. There's some bag size ones that's got pretty good reviews here (Sweden), meant for hotel rooms etc so one has a space to safely be unmasked while travelling, and I am sure there must be US equivalents. That's the only thing I can think of that would increase safety.

@toga@penfount.social I'll have to do some budgeting but I wonder if I can use my last 20% code for my current grail pen (a carene). It'll be a quite good price for one, I'm unlikely to get that price again any time soon.

StarSloth @silhelm@craftgoblin.club · Mar 16, 2026

Replying to @toga@penfount.social

@toga@penfount.social they've updated the faq How long do I have to use my rewards? For percentage discount rewards you have earned through points, they will last 5 days. For percentage discount rewards you have earned through the refer-a-friend scheme, they will last 30 days. For limited time rewards, like free delivery periods, they will last the length of the promotional period (e.g. 7 days from when the discount is created)

StarSloth @silhelm@craftgoblin.club · Mar 16, 2026

Replying to @toga@penfount.social

@toga@penfount.social my redeemed code will be replaced with one valid until the 1st, so I'll be able to use it, but that's as far as they're willing to go. Sigh. Cult pens have been so good but this is a mess.

StarSloth @silhelm@craftgoblin.club · Mar 16, 2026

Replying to @silhelm@craftgoblin.club

This per email contact with Cultpens, their faq on the webpage wasn't updated.

StarSloth @silhelm@craftgoblin.club · Mar 16, 2026

If you have bought from cultpens and have enough loyalty points for a discount, last date to use a 20% discount code is april 1st. Currently codes created have to be used within five days of creation, you can no longer make a code and have it work for 90 days.

My other arm also aches now, thanks brain

StarSloth @silhelm@craftgoblin.club · Feb 26, 2026

So I have to take my blood pressure every few days. And it generates an ache in my arm that takes some time to let go. It feels like the ache that I associate with Joints Fuckery That Radiates Out.
Anyone know what I mean, is this a known phenomenon? I'm sorta thinking connective tissue though it could also be the PsA by ways of lowgrade inflammation.
Or smth completely different?
