  1. 1987 Partnership for a Drug-Free America: Commercial Break Classic

    Remember the 1987 classic that seared itself into our collective consciousness? This unforgettable image of an egg sizzling in a pan became the powerful symbol for 'your brain on drugs.' A truly impactful campaign that defined a generation's awareness. 🍳🧠

  3. So, #PublicServiceAnnouncement for #NintendoSwitch owners:

    Regularly take off the JoyCons off your system, and... I guess use them until they are drained?

    Don't just leave them connected to the system, unless you fancy replacing the rechargable batteries of them every year or two.

    Alternatively, grab yourself the "Joy-Con (L)/(R) AA Battery Pack" HAC-019 and HAC-020, or (if it exists) a third-party alternative.

  5. Hype for the Future 52B: New Categories of Posts: RFCs and PSAs

    Introduction novaTopFlex is currently attempting to expand the horizons of the WordPress blog site and related platforms, including by way of additional content feedback and experiences. Therefore, two (2) new overlapping categories may become essential to the etiquette of the novaTopFlex site here on WordPress. Preamble While common social etiquette of not talking to strangers, especially privately, remains largely enforced and intact, the creepiness of such behaviors is often unchecked […]

  9. Hype for the Future 51/284: The Pronoun Rules

    Preamble novaTopFlex, as an identity, has internalized the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Therefore, the goal of novaTopFlex is to avoid the use of pronouns as much as possible, though such avoidance may not always be feasible. As a compromise, however, novaTopFlex can—and shall—focus on minimizing pronoun use with the exception of the Daily Prompts on WordPress and occasionally to refer to royalty and nobility, especially prior to the year 1500. Why the […]

  10. Electronics manufacturers, small or big, need to stop two things yesterday, failing that immediately:

    * Selling or even making USB cables with VDD and GND only. This is particularly annoying with old USB1 style wiring because it saves virtually nothing.

    * Selling gadgets with USB-C connectors like they were USB-A connectors. Check the rules for 5V USB-C and add that one resistor or I'll call you cheap and incompetent. You know what: if your gadget comes with a USB-A to USB-C cable, I almost certainly know what to call you.

  11. Hype for the Future 45C: Capitalism is a Crisis

    Unfortunately, the global societal preference of a capitalist mode of production has resulted in excess waste on the sole planet that is supposed to be sufficient for human habitation. Society has become more transactional and performative, while the individualistic actors within society have reduced the societal capacity for collective action that is necessary to promote transparency and prohibit corporate behavior to the greatest extent possible. Every corporation is inherently unethical […]

  12. #PublicServiceAnnouncement re: "climate summits":

    There's only two possible outcomes to a #COP climate summit:

    One: there IS agreement on a deal that doesn't mean anything.

    Two: there is NO agreement on a deal that doesn't mean anything.

    Both have one thing in common: they don't mean anything.

  13. PSA: If Youtube is broken for you on Firefox (or its forks) right now, update your uBlock Origin to 1.67.0. That fixed it for me.

  14. #PublicServiceAnnouncement an meine lieben Radfahrys: Bitte, bitte, überprüft eure Frontscheinwerfer! Die Dinger, gerade die von E-Bikes sind hell wie tausend Sonnen, wenn sie zu hoch eingestellt sind.
    Ja, manche sind einfach doof, aber die meisten sind richtig eingestellt, wenn der Hauptlichtkegel den Boden so ca. 10m vor dem Fahrrad beleuchtet. Nicht. Den. Horizont!

    Danke und gute und sichere Fahrt! #Herbst #Fahrrad #Velo #Scheinwerfer

  15. This is a Public Service Announcement.

    Warning: Windows may cause depression, anxiety, frustration, suicidal ideation, PTSD, lack of motivation, sleep deprivation and an inability to get laid.

    If you have come in contact with Windows recently and have any of these symptoms, please talk with your local sysadmin about acquiring a prescription of Linux in your desired flavour.

    Thank you and stay safe.

  17. 🚨 UK Emergency Alert Test incoming!

    Set a calendar reminder for Sunday 7 September at 3pm with this handy ICS file I made:
    📅 sijobling.com/wp-content/uploa

    Because nobody wants to spill their tea mid-alert. 🫖

  18. PSA: If you use OneDrive on Mac, and your company has changed how it identifies the OneDrive folder, you might get more than one OneDrive folder which you cannot remove, not even using sudo.

    The way to reset things — assuming nothing is pending from uploading to OneDrive — is to follow the instructions in this Microsoft support page.

    You're welcome!

  19. Combined Public Service Announcement and Today I Learned: if you have `CLICOLOR=1` on macOS, if you do an `ls` of a directory which is inside iCloud Drive, evicted files (i.e., those that cannot be immediately used, but need to be downloaded first from iCloud) show with a grey background… see below:
    First, both files are in iCloud, but not locally available. They have a dotted cloud icons in the iCloud Status field of the Finder window, and a greyed background in the output of the `ls` command.
    Second, the `cssday.pdf` file shows a filled circle with a down arrow as part of their iCloud Status, which represents the "Keep Downloaded" option (i.e., the file has been downloaded and is locally available), while the other file keeps the dotted cloud icon. In that case only the `Screenshot…` file is shown as grayed out in the output of `ls`.

  20. Today I Learned something, and I want to make a Public Service Announcement: you can create a link that pre-populates fields in Jira before you submit them!

    If your server is jira.example.com, then you can use `CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa` with a URL that has the different fields in it.

    For instance:

    jira.alma.cl/secure/CreateIssu

    Would create an issue with summary "Please enter your ticket summary" in the project whose `pid` is 1234, of the type encoded by `issuetype=2`, and values for the custom fields encoded by 11011 and 11013 with the options set by values 1011 and 12013, respectively, with the priority encoded by value 5.

    You need to find the values for those options custom fields by looking, for instance, at the XML export of a ticket you want to use as template.

    For instance, if there is a ticket jira.example.com/browse/EXAMPL, you can export it to XML, and look for `project id`, and the number after it is what you have to put after `pid`. Then look for the name of other custom fields, and use the content of the `customfield id` that provides it, and equal it to the value of `customfieldvalue key`.

    And for priority, use the value after `priority id` that matches the priority that you want.

    Hope that's useful!
