@Andy @MakersHour@cupoftea.social @makershour@a.gup.pe this is all because our cat Val, who stays warm by rubbing both her braincells together, has discovered the TV after living with it for years. Now she watches it. Now she wants to catch the things on it. It's quite inconvenient during a round of Fortnite, says my other half. So dissuaders! I printed one and put it on her path, and she put a paw on it and refused to stand on it - exactly as planned. So now, more, because she fits behind the soundbar too! #makersHour
@MakersHour@cupoftea.social @makershour@a.gup.pe HOLODECK!
Remember; holodecks have replicators in them because people eat and drink in them.

@makershour@a.gup.pe Q3: If you could make anything at all that would make life easier for someone, or some group, what would it be?
A3: Not sure on this one. I’m always happy to use my skills to help someone out. I’ve repaired a dollhouse and a record player for people at work.
Does that count?!

Q4: Have you ever ‘converted’ anyone to the joys of making? If so, how did they get on?

@MakersHour @makershour@a.gup.pe A3 #MakersHour well if I could I would. I made my dad a special backpack for his mobile oxygen tank. I think it was my saddest make. I used to make all my own classroom prompts, guides, games accessories etc to make for actual fun lessons... other than that... if you think I can help, just let me know
@makershour@a.gup.pe Q4: Have you ever ‘converted’ anyone to the joys of making? If so, how did they get on?
A4: Don’t think I’ve converted anyone, they just normally get me to do it for them. Usually in exchange for dinner. It’s a deal I’m happy with! I do like to think that I’ve imparted some knowledge along the way!
@Indigoatcrafts @Maker_of_Things @MakersHour@cupoftea.social @makershour@a.gup.pe I spent far too long on this joke.
Have an army of rooks. #makersHour
@MakersHour @makershour@a.gup.pe A4 #MakersHour ABSOLUTELY! I LOVED getting my children and my school children completely besotted with the creative bug. We have made allsorts and had the best fun doing it.
Q5: If you were going to buy a book, connected with your making, which book would you choose?

@Indigoatcrafts @Maker_of_Things @MakersHour@cupoftea.social @makershour@a.gup.pe Nope, nope, I've closed the file and not saved the changes. This is one of those little trivial rabbitholes designed to trip me up. Have this. No more. No. #makersHour
@MakersHour@cupoftea.social @makershour@a.gup.pe A5: I probably already have that book. But I am fascinated by Japanese carpentry. I already bought a book about the building of the temples and wood joints. But you can never have enough of those. 😁 #MakersHour
@MakersHour @makershour@a.gup.pe A5 #MakersHour
ha... "IF"...🤣😂🤣 I've got lots of maker books, bought, gifted and sadly inherited. I love books.
IF I hing to buy a new one... I think the Scotsman might throw me out!
@MakersHour@cupoftea.social @makershour@a.gup.pe I've just finished the book series of Reacher. Except the last one. All of them as audiobooks for multiple reasons. Currently listening to Mercy of the Gods by the guy who wrote The Expanse. It's good. Fear the little feathery monkeys.
The last time I got a making book was the Dummy's Guide to C, which came with a compiler with no graphics library and enough errors that I contacted the author and got a new set of disks from them.
That was 25 years ago now! #makersHour
@makershour@a.gup.pe Q5: If you were going to buy a book, connected with your making, which book would you choose?
A5: I LOVE BOOKS! Proper books, not screen books! I have lots of books about lots of things both to do with making/tinkering/fixing as well as lots of science books, nature books, railway books, Star Trek books, motorbike books and lots of fiction!
(I’m not anti-digital books, I think they’re great for convenience and I won’t knock anything that gets people reading, I just love the feel and experience of a paper book).

If I hear one more person talk about “putting our brightest people toward solving climate change”, I will scream.
Climate change is not some deep mystery waiting for a scientific breakthrough: we know exactly what causes it and how we address that. We have SOLVED climate change.
The problem is not “finding the solution”, the problem is convincing literally anyone in power that the solution is better than building billionaire bunkers in new zealand.
@Maker_of_Things @MakersHour @makershour@a.gup.pe it's for my big brother. We love corvids i send him videos of my rook army

@suearcher @MakersHour @makershour@a.gup.pe you and Alfred have really boosted me and it's incredibly rare for a day to be making free
I have next to no followers on here, so kind of shouting into the void, however... I'm in need of some legal assistance to help draft a EULA.
Does anyone have any recommendations, preferably UK based?
@quixoticgeek @MakersHour @makershour@a.gup.pe what's the isbn/other details...
Might we find one here and potentially be able to send it to you
@aurora @MakersHour @makershour@a.gup.pe i would love to learn proper book binding skills
@aurora @MakersHour @makershour@a.gup.pe as are rooks! A little scary to some but I love these guys. Plus they're like a built in security team
@popchicken @MakersHour @makershour@a.gup.pe I'm ashamed... I have too many books and I may have just saved my dad's from the charity shop... I mean to take only what resonates and pass on the rest...
@aurora @Maker_of_Things @suearcher @MakersHour @makershour@a.gup.pe sorry I have to ask...
WHY?

I have gone as far as to write about how I've changed up my desktop setup from Sway to Niri and the other changes I picked up along the way.
After I published a recent article where I showed how to mitigate an accidental DDoS after enabling ActivityPub for WordPress with the Surge plugin, I found an optimization for improved cache handling. Out of the box, there’s a problem with the default configuration since Surge ignores the Accept header.

You are about to watch THE ENTIRE WORLD accept someone's chosen name.
@pluralistic excellent read.

I guess Leo XIV is an OK name, but seeing how he’s from Chicago, passing on Al Capope feels like a missed opportunity.
