I work at the engineering firm, Exaltation of Larks, and at the Droplabs network of coworking spaces, which are two companies I co-founded.
In my spare time I'm a public speaker on open source software, high performance websites and internet security, and am a startup mentor and Drupal community manager and organizer.
My new company is Solar Ignition, a venture capital seed fund and accelerator program. We back entrepreneurs working on big ideas and values-based businesses using open source principles.
Create an HTML email signature in TextEdit or some other rich text editor on macOS, copy it and paste it on iOS using Continuity Clipboard into the signature text field in iOS’ Settings -> Apps -> Mail -> Signature text field, and pray that it works.
When it does work, it ignores text size. Want your email signature to be in a smaller font size? Too bad.
The only workaround I’ve found is to copy an email signature from another email account that miraculously did copy over successfully, copy it on iOS and paste that in to another’s email signature field, and manually rewrite the whole thing.
Of course, the HTML links aren’t editable, and the Signature text fields don’t enable the “Add Link” item to the hover tools menu when selecting text.
Worst of all, even when the email signature is finally perfect, the Signature text field doesn’t preview it properly. If text is pasted in at a smaller text size, the preview still shows it at the default size. The only way to accurately preview an email signature is to draft a new email and hope the email signature displays like it did originally in TextEdit.
In short, never create a new HTML email signature on iOS. Create in on a Mac (source), copy it over the network with Continuity Clipboard, hope it works, and treat the iOS email signature fields (destination) as a never- or rarely-editable workspace.
I have a dozen regularly typed words that I have had to set up string replacements for (in General -> Keyboard -> Text Replacement) to work around recorrect the autocorrect.
It used to be possible to tell autocorrect to ignore certain words and add them to the system dictionary (by typing the word, having jt autocorrected, hutting backspace and fixing the autocorrected word, and repeating the process 2 or 3 times), but that inexplicably stopped working for me a few years ago.

I’m not associated with factsasnews at all; I just took a minute and clicked on the ‘about’ page.
Oh. My. God. Just ask the person if they want your advice.
It’s the same in the (presumably male-dominated) workplace as it is in anywhere, such as giving unsolicited advice to someone at the (usually male-dominated) rock gym.
Pleroma has been the front runner for a community of mine that has about 1,000 members in the Portland, Oregon area. (In that context, joining the fediverse is a bonus and not a core reason for using Mastodon, Pleroma, etc.)
About half our members are on Meetup and the other half is on Facebook, and the community has definitely bifarcated after we paused our in-person meetups due to physical distancing.
I’m hoping groups and group chats become a thing for Pleroma soon, and those are more or less the 2 features I’m waiting for before scheduling time for the build.
I was originally leaning toward OpenSocial, but ActivityPub for Drupal had only just reached alpha within the last few weeks.

“These talks break down what it means to live outside society’s traditional (and outdated) understanding of gender.”

As an aside, I’m super curious to see whether Face ID works with the transparent PurME masks.

I was excited when I discovered this, but I now consider this “feature” to be a security issue. I used to “prime” my Touch ID-equipped iPhones until I accidental authorized an in-app purchase because my thumb was pre-placed on the sensor.
Never again.
I had modified the Accessibility settings so that resting a finger on the sensor would unlock the device, and when reverting that setting I still ran into the same issue.
It wasn’t until home widgets became a thing that I actually began entertaining the idea of getting a Pro Max.
To anyone else also just learning about Mail-in-a-Box:
“Mail-in-a-Box is based on Postfix, Dovecot, Z-Push, Roundcube, Nextcloud, Apache SpamAssassin, Postgrey, Nginx, @konklone’s nginx config, and more.”
It sounds like you used a Back-UPS unit instead of a Smart-UPS, which I’ve heard switches to battery 10x faster than the Back-UPS.
After learning this I won’t use a Back-UPS for anything where meaningful data loss might happen. They’re great for lights, cable modems, WiFi routers, etc., though.
Great website, by the way!
Out of curiosity, can you say whether Tesla has approached you for acquisition?
Hypersonic is the term used for speeds over Mach 5. Mach 1 is equal to the speed of sound, however the speed of sound varies at different elevation.
Sound travels slower in mediums that are less dense, so the higher you go in elevation the slower Mach is.
Mach 5 is about 6,125km/h (3,805.9mph) at sea level, and about 5,339 km/h (3,317.5mph) at 35,000ft, which makes is where you’ll see lots of commercial airliners.

Sadly this article is written exclusively from a Euro-centric perspective. Even the “Inventing the Beach” part of the title is colonialist.
