Todo: delete disqus account and remove from Hugo theme.

Giving up on Twitter cards, you seriously suck Jack.

Seriously no idea why all of a sudden Twitter has no idea how to load the card images found everywhere else.

Seriously … Jack … you suck at this.

OpenGraph scraper:

Twitter actual:

Feeling kinda OCD with all the time I am sinking into messing around with the whitespace generated by my Hugo templates.

Twitter card image fetching is so random. Open source scrapers do a better job. You never fail to disappoint Jack.

Picking up a random error about missing a delimiter to close out a post's front matter @manton (it was the post I mentioned you in that started "Assuming we are still coming back online…"). I deleted the post to see if I get any others; but, I thought you may want to know in case you were tinkering with the front matter.

When you've nothing better to do than expand your kaomoji iOS Shortcut to employ categories:

Congrats, Tumblr, on being yet another platform with a functional web client but an iOS app that chokes under pressure.

How is squashing that deletion bug coming along @manton? Starting to not like the lack of content control I am feeling (and I also suspect the same underlying issue is keeping my deleted category from disappearing).

So … Tumblr … what's with the random post thumbnailing?

Why not just re-embed the images from my photo albums? Because Medium can't even get image insertion f$&king correct. I will be GDed if Imma scroll through all my GD recents because Medium isn't up to f$&king speed with folders.

Why so tough on Medium's app? Because Ulysses is a rock star and I have to wait until I feel like grabbing the f$&king iPad to check whether Medium understands how to receive published images via the GD web client.

Speaking of piss poor iOS apps … y'all know I'm in Palo Alto … w/ the good fortune to not to need an income … and w/ nothing to do but teach myself new sh$t like Hugo-centric web dev. If you're reading this … and you've a piss poor iOS app … that sh$t's on you.

Is there anything more useless than Medium's iOS app? Seriously?

'Bout to find out whether Ulysses can handle publishing video to Micro.blog (I remain skeptical).

Update: pfft … nevermind, they aren't even gonna try. Guess I will go with a screenshot instead of the screen recording of the functioning chord recognition app (kinda feels like we all lose).

Turns out Ulysses was publishing to Medium just fine … and Medium is yet another web-based app with a sh$tty f$&kin' iOS application. FFS, if sh$t only works in the browser just dressup a GD web view and toss in an app icon. Sh$t I could build better is f$&king annoying to use.

Every time I give Medium a shot, something f$&king blows. This time it was Ulysses export creating drafts without any of the f$&king images.

FFS…
⒜ can we not just f$&king assume already that if I want a GD dash rather than two consecutive minus signs … I will type a GD — … it's not rocket science.
⑵ why TF can I not get a GD < ! - - more - - > tag seated in a properly recognized source code block?

Hey … cool beans … so I guess the whole point of raw source blocks is not f$&king up your sh$te. Let’s see if the same thing works as well with shortcodes as it does with <!--more--> tags

Pfft … well Micro.blog cross-posted the long form beautifully … and now f’ing Tumblr doesn’t want to let me tag it … f$&kers

Well tagging worked via the web client; but, I guess it is worth mentioning that even the simplistic long-form post published via Ulysses will require going in through the Micro.blog web client to manage <!--more--> tags. I will give 'em a crack at it but every previous attempt at exporting HTML has been escaped, perhaps changing the markdown flavor alters this behavior?

Pfft … well Micro.blog cross-posted the long form beautifully … and now f’ing Tumblr doesn’t want to let me tag it … f$&kers

Well, after trying to figure out how TF one gets a long form post to paste into Tumblr, I am gonna re-post something out of Ulysses to Micro.blog and see WTF happens.

I mean, when we are talking 3 seconds, we are in didn’t-f$&kin-mean-to territory. Can I disable cross-posting to the Micro.blog timeline and setup cross-posting to Tumblr only?

Suppose I may as well tinker with customization of the Tumblr page now that I found where these settings live.
