    @birming wow that’s some bathroom

    @manton it works really nice. Any way to add lists, like “to watch” or “things Ed keeps bugging me about to watch”?

  • @autumn I heard good things about it as well :)

  • Replying to: ericmwalk.status.lol

    @ericmwalk too little sleep here as well. I hope for a nap later.

  • @help are we affected by the AWS outage?

    Also - status.micro.blog - what does the avatars service do, just curious :)

    @adamsdesk i always get fresh veggies for a side salad or to add to my sandwiches. I want to upgrade to start making soups.

    @jinscho i love what they do and how they do it (Im a subscriber) but they feel more like an echo chamber to me these days)

    @WiredDifferently a class for iPhone photography? For some reason I never thought about it as something for a course… mind sharing the class outline if you have something like this?

    @Miraz haven’t heard of this one..! thanks for the recommendation

  • @TheIdOfAlan it works ok. There are a few hiccups with links (it does <url>|<label> instead of the other way around) but besides that, it saves me time. I’d rather use something like a pandoc but he doesn’t have the syntax for TW.

    @birming nod politely? Is that what you’re supposed to do? 🫢

    @gocha this movie was an unexpected gem. I went in without knowing what to expect, and I’m glad I did. For me it’s also a lot about the aspect of what happened in the US, which has some very uncomfortable connections to real life right now.

    @kev I hope the number of comments you get alone help somewhat. I’m sorry she’s gone, and I’m hoping you have the support you need right now. I’m willing to sit and listen more, just say so. And thanks for opening up about this.

    @manton this is a good idea. You do a lot, and with what you do comes exposure that attract a lot of attention, good and bad. I hope this helps you (and everyone naturally). Please take care of yourself as well as you can - also feel free to reach out if ever. Helps me sometimes. And thank you!

    @birming I want to find a place like that for a vacation. That would be nice.

  • Replying to: @birming

    @birming I think the expression belongs to @jack but I forget… he’s a good guy to get into this conversation anyway though 😊

  • @birming that’s a great post, and the comment I originally wrote to you become a blog post in itself: taonaw.com/2025/09/2…

    In short, mixing things up is being personal, and being personal is worth it. Keep it up 👍

    @Miraz that has some Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance in it. He describes a similar feeling for a motorcycle

    @jbaty indeed, that’s what im rediscovering now

  • Replying to: social.lol

    How often do you write it TW these days? Anything long (a few paragraphs)?

  • Replying to: @razorback

    @razorback thanks for this feedback, this is probably a good starting point.

  • Replying to: social.lol

    @jbaty I think I said before and might have lost the comment somewhere - I’m not sure what desktop environment you have, but it seems like Gnome comes with an option to turn it on. If this is your case I’d be curious to know how it works (or doesn’t work) for you

    @manton I would absolutely love that, even if just to have a different option than YouTube. I understand that 1 1-minute video (or 90 seconds, as was offered) might be a downgrade for some, but it’s important to have a clear and supported definition of what is provided. Many of the short how-to videos can be used under that tier; we could finally host how-to videos for MB under MB…! That would be awesome. I’d also pay for 20 20-minute videos to try it out at the very least.

  • Replying to: mcr.wtf

    @johnelalamo I understand they want to give more control to people who are quoted and give them the chance to take down something if someone misquotes them, but that’s not really going to stop anyone. People will just copy-paste or take screenshots anyway.

    @manton smart…? I guess so. I feel like that’s the only way to do things, unless you take a ride on FOSS style, which is not a good idea and doesn’t scale for the dimension of Mastodon. I don’t like that this all sounds familiar, you know, the usual thing of needing money, then selling out one way or another, then shareholders. I know Mastodon is different because it’s decentralized, but the feeling is still there.
