The good news is that it looks like Meta is in an AI inspired death spiral.

I’ve had my first cold this year this week. Sinus headaches really drain me.

@jackbrewster @matthewcassinelli hahah I did a transcription with both myself and Elizabeth having a conversation. It nailed the transcription but the title and summary are in Spanish.

@jackbrewster Okay, let me try the immediate timeout and see how that works. Okay, immediate timeout works, but then it quits the app. So the next time you start, it has to relaunch the app and you have to swipe back and forth between the two applications. That's weird. They claim it's an iOS restriction, but it's still not great.

@jackbrewster I cancelled my monologue subscription as it seems the app has to be running to a se the keyboard and it keeps the microphone enabled for a user adjustable time, but I prefer only while actively using.

It took four hours to pick all of our interior colors, materials, fixtures and that is 364 days and 20 hours less than it took us to pick floors last time.

@jackbrewster I looked and didn't see anything yet. Luckily the Studio is not due out until mid-year so maybe there will be options by then, or I'll be broke from the house build haha

ok Mastodon self-hosters, and Mastondon proponents in general, a family member pinged me about Periwinkle. Mastondon is frustrating to me in the same way Democrats are, I prefer it, they seem to be on the better path, and everyone knows about the competition. Ugh.

Is self-hosting Mastodon still a pain in the butt?
