@thisness I thought the first episode was a bit weak, maybe the direction being not quite up to scratch. But it picked right up after that.
@JohnPhilpin Does the ‘Limited’ not refer to the number of copies? Like, only 1000 numbered copies, or what have you?
@birming While your point about the inner critic is sound, I find this analogy:
> Like any dog owner will tell you when their overexcited four-legged friend runs up to greet you:
>
> Just ignore him and he’ll calm down.
problematic. People who are pathologically scared of dogs — I live with one — are not calmed by such reassurances.
And dogs don’t always calm down.
@manton I think you mean the “Open Theme: <theme-name>” button. That’s what I see, anyway. There’s an “Edit Themes” (plural), but that takes you to a list of themes.
I think the difficulty comes if you haven’t set a custom theme in the first place. With the “Edit CSS” button you got a place where you could paste a snippet in. With the need for a theme it’s a bit more complex.
@Mtt Sorry if I’m being stupid, but I can’t find the “Edit CSS” button. I know I’ve used it before, and I looked at the relevant help article, which says:
> To edit your site’s CSS, go to choose Design from the main menu on the web and click the “Edit CSS” button.
But I don’t have that button. Am I missing something? Do I have to create a custom theme first? That seems a bit extreme if so. @manton
@Mtt Thanks, I’ll give that a try.
@louie I see, thanks. I’m impressed with people like you who can notice something like that. Though if I had noticed it, I’d probably have thought it was deliberate, like a shadow effect.
@Mtt I’m just wondering if there’s a way in Mythos to turn off the non-scrolling header. I’m not keen on those.
@manton Looks good. The one thing I would ask for is the option to make it a titled post by default. I can write enough to make the title field appear, and then cut & paste as necessary, but it would be nice to just have the movie title be the post title from the start.
How would the link work, then? I’ve just realised my posts from the Letterboxd feed don’t have links back to either the Letterboxd post or The Movie DB.
Maybe the template post could have a title and also the text with the link, and we can adjust?
I do know I’ve more or less stopped using the books feature because the untitled posts don’t fit with the way I like to write about the books I read.
@gregmoore What are those? I don’t recall seeing them. Except maybe in trailers, but would they show a trailer for the episode you’re watching?
@help Cheers, I’ve done that, and the version is now 3.7.2 (218). We’ll see what happens at the next update, I guess. Thanks.
@help I’m having trouble updating the Mac app. Every time I check for updates and tell it to install I get the dialog saying “Extracting update…”, and it just hangs forever.
I’m on quite an old version of MacOS, 13.7.8 (22H730), because this 2017 MacBook Pro can’t run anything newer. But other apps still update OK.
My current Micro.blog version is 3.6.5 (195).
@FALLLYRICSINCAPS Is that meant to be Nyarlathotep? I didn’t know Mark was a Lovecraft fan, but I suppose it’s not surprising.
@bugshaw.bsky.social Happy Birthday!
@lmika Ah, thanks, yes, now you say it, I do remember talk of all that kind of thing.
i still use XML every day at work, but literally only in POM files for building Java projects.
@manton After a recent trip to Canada, I’d love to see one in London (there is one, in fact, but not convenient for me). I hadn’t heard they were US owned now, though.
@jasraj Yes! Great wee film, and somehow I’ve forgotten to write about it, so thanks for the reminder.
@danielpunkass Wow! Was there a piano in the class? I’m guessing not.
@manton Sure, if it’s no trouble. Thanks.
@canion That’s a good point.
@manton “Private mentions”? Like, you @- someone and only they know about it? How does that work? What does it even mean?
@karochan3 It is a killer set, isn’t it?
@drwalt ‘Osama Bingo Laden’ does have a certain ring to it, though.
