Why is Obsidian's default font so tiny and low contrast? I can't fucking read it. This is torture. String up them louts who follow not the code!

If you're an incel coder, make your text bigger, your glyphs more distinct, your icons relevant (use icons at all? Banded lines help too), and your help docs USEFUL.

THAT's how your dreams come true. Help others to help you. Or more crassly:
get bitches on your dick, bastards on your clit, fuckers on your butt, kissers on your lips, cake on your plate, and / or whatever your gay af heart desires. Just LET ME READ YOUR FUCKING TEXT.

Just wrote a note about a little gotcha with default values for destructured properties of parameter objects in JavaScript that has gotten me a few times:

You must of messed around with #email #ListServ's and found out #defaults w/o finding the #unsubscribe #email of a high traffic ListServe'd you 📨🙉😠😤😡🤬😤😠😡🤬😠😠😡😤🤬🤬

😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

😒🎯

The flip side is #defaultsettings of ListServ's got the update to sane defaults. 😆

🔥 Did you know you can fully customize your Bonfire sidebar?
Pick the feeds you want, reorder everything, move sections around. Don't let the power of the default dictate your experience, make the interface adapt to your needs!

🛠️ The eternal quest for the perfect tools...

I listed my current setup (40+ tools!) while reflecting on how AI is changing our relationship with software. Are we moving from tools as implements to tools as collaborators?

#Productivity #AI #Defaults

If you're using #Adobe #Acrobat you might want to check if your organization allows use of the by default enabled generative AI features: Acrobat sends the documents to cloud for processing, which likely goes against the data #privacypolicy of many orgs.

If unsure, go to Preferences > Generative AI and deselect "Enable generative AI features in Acrobat".

Assign properties in a constructor’s parameter object (with defaults) to object being instantiated in JavaScript

https://codeberg.org/aral/gists/src/branch/main/assign-properties-in-a-constructors-parameter-object-with-defaults-to-object-being-instantiated-in-JavaScript.md

This is a little something I ended up playing around with this morning before figuring out how to do it (after spending far too much time down a rabbit hole with object destructuring when what I really needed was creative use of the spread operator).

(Useful for custom objects in JSDB 5 – https://codeberg.org/small-tech/jsdb#custom-data-types)
