    @jaywilliams not sure I follow… I sense sarcasm though? 😅

    @JohnBrady the synthetic ones are awesome for that. I use running socks, and I use them for about a week (I don’t walk in shoes all day, and I definitely don’t run long distances every day) and then put them in the wash. Did I say 5 years earlier? I meant 7 years. Seven. Years. wow.

    @cjhubbs I know what you mean, I felt bad and then I checked when I bought them and was blown away. The one time I contacted their support (during the holidays, it took a while to process the code), I was helped by one person who was so nice and so professional. I wish I knew more brands like these.

  • @manton for the archive by month plug-in, I know it was just added! But I’m wondering how complicated these would be to add:

    • Option to include categories in the title of the posts in the monthly view (so for example “going to Italy (vacations)” or something of the sort
    • The number of posts in each month show next to the month name
    • With the above option, perhaps the months can be collapsible, so you click on an arrow down to extend all the posts?

    It seems the h2 for the month’s name is already its own class, but I just want to make sure. In case we want to customize it in CSS?

    Thanks! It’s hard to keep up with all the changes to MB, and that’s a good thing! :D

    @manton I mostly agree with you. The web is indeed broken. But there’s a gap between the indies and the techies and the rest, and the rest don’t necessarily know how to build the bridge.

    @manton bravo. I like watching what you do and where it’s coming from. I might reach out to a few of my former colleagues, back when I was a teacher.

    @Miraz it looks cool, modern with a lot of sun options. The deal included landscaping? This sounds awesome 👍

  • Replying to: jabel.blog

    @jabel when I started my job where I work some 8 years ago, I would spend similar time you did in mass transit. I moved much closer within a year (not just because of work), and it was a life changer; with my sleeping issue, it meant I could take a noon nap at home during lunch, and that helped me a lot. The Pandemic meant we all had to work remotely for a while, and today we’re required to show up at least once a week, but even then, I don’t have an actual office or a supervisor who sees me, and that means I choose my own days. I walk over twice a week, and it’s great, it’s like they trust me to be a “big boy.” I don’t think I can go back to having a babysitter.

    @manton Thanks Manton. I don’t think it was listed (it was a brand new blog anyway) - I just turned off the cross-posting for the posts I wanted to test and then turned them back on. My micro.blog’s mastodon account though still posted those.

  • Replying to: @marc0janssen

    @marc0janssen now if I just knew how to turn off cross publishing for my test blog, that would be helpful :p

  • Replying to: lmika.org

    @lmika good points. Didn’t hear about this until now. The Apple as the underdog bubble will pop soon enough for the general public.

    @xenodium I did look at it when you recommended (it’s also suggested in the repo’s readme) and while it’s an overkill just for this, I do have other configs in lua (mpv comes to mind). The “spoons” seem easy enough to follow, so maybe I’ll try to play with it.

    @jbaty come on Jack. We all know you lol

  • Replying to: social.lol

    @amerpie that’s a good point about how many apps you have… CLI must make this much easier.

  • Replying to: social.lol

    @amerpie I’m assuming you mean non-Apple apps that are open source, etc. Any advantage for homebrew over the store from your perspective (besides that it’s faster and free of all kinds of GUI interruptions from Apple overlords, of course)

  • Replying to: mastodon.social

    @jwd630 interesting, can you give me some examples?

  • Replying to: @7robots

    @7robots what was annoying, if you can share?

  • Replying to: bsky.app

    @manton.org happy to see how far it came - at this point it’s my main publishing tool to MB (used to be a browser). A few requests/suggestions:

    • Make it so the user preferences for open windows (categories, summary)stay next time you open MB (might require working on the UX)
    • auto save (to a draft)
  • Replying to: taonaw.com

    @jtr.bsky.social Thanks for the replies! Turns out it didn’t work because of a knowledge gap (now bridged) and a typo. It’s working and it’s… helpful. Not close to what Grammarly does, but helpful.

  • Replying to: taonaw.com

    @jtr.bsky.social …disocvered my problem. A typo. Added information in post.

    @oantolin you didn’t fant fingered it, I did. That’s why I couldn’t find it 🤦‍♂️
    It works now 😆

  • Replying to: @Miraz

    @Miraz Yes! it fit so nicely with the plants, though it looks like most of the plants were out of this greenhouse and around the garden for now. Maybe this is more for the winter.

  • @nichlas thanks for the good feedback! Appreciate

  • @swiftonsecurity.com I ditched windows a few years back in favor or Linux for gaming. No, not talking about retro games or stuff that no one hears of for 10 years. Helldivers, Elite Dangerous, World of Warships are among the multiplayer games. Not hard to get working either… It helps somewhat.

    @manton one of the reasons I’m enjoying Orion browser at the moment is the ability to install Firefox and Chrome extensions, one of them being a YouTube extension called “Unhook.” Options to turn off the home feed is on by default. It helps!
