Quick reminder that digital isn’t zero carbon. There’s energy needed to power servers. There’s energy needed to make digital devices. There’s energy needed to send emails. There’s energy needed to host websites. Digital isn’t zero carbon.

@northernassist Thanks for the reply, I know it’s not your fault personally, but it’s ridiculous that trains can just disappear of the timetable. Other times don’t work for me. The rail system is broken - not sure if you can feed that back to anyone.

@jamiethewisdom Hello Jamie, sadly I can't see the service so I can't track what has happened to it as such. I can't see any engineering works on that are affecting your line this morning. I do apologise for this, you can travel on the service prior or after if possible for you.^AH

@northernassist Any idea what’s happened to the 9:50 from Billingham to Newcastle? It seems to have disappeared from the timetable today? Was relying on that!

@skuwamoto Wow! Feeling my age now like! 😂

Early in my career, I was part of the Dreamweaver 1.0 team. Launching that product and watching it grow was formative to my career. Since then, I've worked work on a bunch more 1.0s, (e.g., Medium. Figma), and all of them were informed by that first DW experience.

@caffedesigns I hope you don't mind me replying to this, but would you fancy taking a couple of minutes to take our survey on UX training? It would be much appreciated, but no worries if not! 🙏🏼 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

@Poetech3 Nuts in May is my absolute fav film!

Who is the most famous person you have met* in the strangest place? * you can have been close to them, you don’t need to have interacted with them

@skuwamoto @figma Also will save me a step in my workflow that I currently do to reduce the file sizes — drop me a message if you need more info 🙏🏼

@skuwamoto @figma Ensure assets that are exported are the smallest file size possible, which in turn will reduce the energy used by data centres. Less energy used = less environmental impact.

So 2023 planning for @figma starts on Monday. What should I tell the team?

@JanetHughes Haha. I’ve so done this as well!

@rufflemuffin I found a couple of people offering it on eBay, but the instructions were a bit shouty, so might not be the best experience!

@Paulxthompson @coolmongreldog Maybe a red one. I want to go home and check now! 😂

@coolmongreldog @Paulxthompson I can only remember 1 pair of shoes as well!

@rufflemuffin Try looking for mail merged label printing. There’s a few articles with instructions on doing it yourself, but you may find a service offering it too.

@katylcowan @creativeboom Atkinson Hyperlegible for me. brailleinstitute.org/freefont

For example, with slides that mainly contain text, exporting as Best quality was a lot smaller (125k) than exporting as Small file size (834k). Smaller file sizes = less energy consumption in saving, downloading and sending. So make sure to check your file sizes! 🙏🏼🌱

Quick sustainibility tip for @MiroHQ users. When exporting multiple frames to PDF, choosing the Small file size option doesn't necessarily export to the smallest file size.

@jonspark Ha. Yeah, I should probably go back to bed for the rest of the week.

@jonspark I’m still working on it. 🤔

@rufflemuffin I can’t do them me, I get the same effect. Looks like I’ll never be meta, so I’ll just stick to my allotment. 😅

@HelenAshby72 Scraps in Stockton. Which also describes local evening activities of days gone by.

@LizzieCassMaran I go @freethoughtnet because of their green credentials. Always been very helpful and reliable.

Does anyone have recommendations for web hosting companies? I've been with Dreamhost for years but I'm wondering if I can get better value elsewhere. Thanks pals.
