@danirabbit @elementary While it’s not ideal to have OpenAI borrowing our written fears, hopes and dreams, it is definitely extremely useful for finding clues to solve technical problems, so I voted YES for the docs.

A trick I learned (I think from @film_girl) a while ago is that if you create `~/Developer`, you get a cool sidebar icon in Finder. That's where all my code goes now.

@matt I couldn’t agree more. I definitely was not in love with any of the other apps, and I really hate distraction in my browsing experience (don’t we all?), so I am really turned off by both the squished web UI as well as the advanced web UI mode that is still too busy for my tastes. Ivory solves all of that for me!

@ivory Please open more spots! I missed the last couple opportunities. I swear by Tweetbot on Twitter and it has been killing me to not have something similar here on Mastodon!

@brainwane Thanks! You definitely should try a Brompton! It’s a comfortable ride and there’s a great local Meet Up around it as well.

This year on Thanksgiving, please spare a thought for our friends in Ukraine who are sitting in the dark without heat and under missile fire.

Big rumblings in the expansion of the #Fediverse have been happening recently.

#Tumblr has already promised to implement #ActivityPub (the protocol Mastodon uses), which will mean you can follow Tumblr accounts from here and vice versa. And today we a learning that #Flickr is also considering it!

This will be a massive expansion, which obviously carries some uncertainties, but I, for one, welcome our new federation partners.

This is the way the internet is supposed to work.

@helenczerski My #Brompton goes almost everywhere with me around NYC. Now I'm trying to decide if I want to brave the hills of Seattle when I visit there in December... hmm..

@probono OMG, I thought it was just me. Yes, every time I pull up the birdsite site he's on the very top. I guess in my mind I figured he's just prolific and posts regularly enough to show up a lot. But now that I review my timeline, I'm seeing 18 hour old tweets from him showing toward the top. Crazy.

On the birdsite, do you also frequently get Elon's tweets on position #1 in your timeline, right above the first ad? Has he really tweaked the algorithm to place himself in the #1 spot? Is this what the recent late-night "code review" was all about? #twittermigration

@matt I’ve never been a big Twitter user, but browsing my exported archive was quite a blast from the past! If you haven’t done it yet, you should export whatever you have.

@matt It may or may not be related, but it also may or may not be fixed any time soon… I got an SMS limit error the other day when I tried to export my data. I finally had to switch from SMS to email verification.

I got 6730 points in Can't Unsee, a game where you need to find design mistakes. https://cantunsee.space/

@256 Unpopular opinion: Sim games like MS Flight Simulator and racing series like Test Drive and Stunts aged the worst of the genres. On the other hand, adventure games like the Monkey Island series are nearly timeless.

@matt I love the idea. I've tried many of the ideas proposed on r/digitalminimalism with varying success including cold turkey, switching to grayscale, using web versions, etc. My challenge is that I eventually come up with a scenario where I make an exception, and that becomes the norm. I like this idea because it doesn't restrict the app, but requires reflection.

On 20th November 1985, Microsoft released their latest software product: a graphical interface for MS-DOS, known as Windows. Though it was neither the 1st GUI for DOS, nor commercially successful, it was the start of a long history leading to the Windows we know & love today. 🪟 #Microsoft #Windows #DailyWindowsFact

@moelholm Ha! Looks like there's no way to actually _view_ those followed hashtags yet. https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/20132

@mbell In the meantime, I setup #zram to hopefully reduce the memory pressure at the cost of some CPU cycles.
