Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it! Anyway,

it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So how’s it going?

    So far the highlight of my morning has been discovering that Sync supports pop out windows for specific threads and communities. It really is the little things, lol.

        Settings - Post options - enable ‘long press cards to open in the background’

        Definitely my favourite thing about sync so far!

            I saw it on the support community this morning and there were users who have used it for a decade who didn’t know about it.

              I feel like that would be an annoying implementation. Some people have hundreds of tabs. But allowing a user to create a new window when they want to, that’s awesome.

    Man, it’s been a pretty hectic week with moving and all that. A few parts of the body that are aching a bit 😂

    Still haven’t got Fibre internet (even though we started the process about 6 Weeks ago. The Chorus Techs came on site to do their initial scoping, and said they don’t do Shared Driveways (even though we outlined everything in the application) 🤷‍♂️. Been a whole lot of no communication since then.

      Dude sorting out shared driveway BS ended up taking almost 2 years for us.

      In the end, I don’t think it was even necessary, like they changed the law so that this is no longer an issue. Don’t quote me on that.

      I printed out a bunch of permission forms and went and talked to all the neighbours and got consent.

      Then it was only a matter of more waiting.

        We had the same, contacting 2 others on the drive to get their agreement. Luckily had it done back in 2019 when the initial big push to get it all installed was happening.

        Oh don’t do that… You’re not giving me hope haha.

        It’s weird. We had got all the comms saying that the consent process was underway, and then got comms saying it was all finalized and good to go, and then their contractors come around and say that.

        Currently on 4G Wireless Broadband as an interim, but it’s a bit of a struggle haha

          Oh man, I’ve been visiting my parents who have 4G broadband. That shit should be illegal, I remember dial-up being more stable than that crap.

              I really hate how we’re all being railroaded off copper. I’m old fashioned, I like my landline to sound all warm and analogue.

    I’m waiting for a flight home, now helping out the Aussies with their massive flag on Canvas. I made a post here on the Canvas community to try to encourage others to do the same.

      Weird, the page loads but none of the images load for me? Or is the forecast for broken links 😛

        Just looked and both the links I initially posted had a corrupt character in them. Quite how that could happen I don’t know, maybe it was the Memmy app. I reloaded the links and they should now be working.

        EDIT 1: Arrggh, still the same. I’ll edit it in a browser.

        EDIT 2: Same problem with the links posting from a browser. The link includes “=rain®ion” the ampersand gets corrupted.

        EDIT 3: Ha, even the text I put in the last edit got corrupted despite being in quotes. The & seems to be the issue.

        Let’s try a code post type=rain®ion=nzni

        EDIT 4 : Even the code post got corrupted, hmmm, not so wonderful.

          Something weird happening in your links. They are getting a registered trademark symbol in them.

          Edit: It does it for me too. It’s not your app, I suspect it’s the new security change that escapes HTML. I’ve tried a bunch and I give up. Edit the URL and change the ® symbol to be an ampersand and “reg” to make it region.

            Fascinating!

            so & + reg gives the registered symbol.

            Surely there must be a way to get the TM symbol as well?

            © is & + copy

            ™ is & + trade

              I haven’t worked out how to actually post the link. Just need to have users do the change themselves :(

    I have a thing for nail polish. I can’t help it, it’s just OOONEWCOLOURLETSGOOOO. I got two today from a $3 store and the fumes are something else. It might be a cheap hobby but I think this brand is going to be reserved for outdoor use only.
