Almanacs don't seem as popular as they were hundreds of years ago. 🤔

@JeremyMallin Presumably the same reason as encyclopedias: we get that information on our phones now.

How many years can I still say that I'm "recently" diagnosed?

@JeremyMallin I don't know the answer, but perhaps a certain percentage of your life? So if you're diagnosed older, after so much of your life not knowing, I think the newness of it can last longer in objective terms.

I'm trying out FediLabs (on Android). It takes some getting used to. I'm accustomed to Tusky.

The "out of the box" settings needed quite a bit of adjusting.

I definitely needed to enlarge everything—font size, icon size, line length…

Also switch to dark mode, and disable push notifications.

I freaking hate that everyone and everything tries to highjack push notifications. That should ALWAYS be off by default.

Funny. A character in this show who was declared by others to be disgruntled, argued that she used to be "perfectly gruntled".

Now I'm wondering if "gruntled" is a word that was ever commonly used.

@JeremyMallin @Cassandra
I'm not a native speaker, but I assumed the "peel" is a metaphor for your eyelids. So keeping your eyes peeled is keeping them open. Does that make sense?

Cassandra,
@Cassandra@autistics.life avatar

@schoudaan @JeremyMallin Yeah, my partner's guess was “unpeeled" must mean lids closed.

I like following accounts from different countries on here. I have not found very many (any really) accounts from Asian or African countries though. Are there not that many on Fedi yet, or am I just not finding the right ones?

I saw someone talking about password rules…

The worst password idea I ever had was to actually write a script to generate 256 random characters, including special characters, to use for my WiFi password. I didn't realize that in the near future, I would have devices that needed WiFi but couldn't accept a cut and paste of the password because they had no USB ports or GUI that would allow it.

Manually entering WiFi passwords on "Smart TVs" and other devices sucks by the way.

@JeremyMallin I knooooooooow. Mine isn't 256 characters, but still, all the over-over-over-down-down-down is annoying.

Why do they still call them "podcasts" when there are no "Pods" involved?

Isn't it time to come up with a different name?

I kinda wanna infodump now, but I have a telehealth appointment momentarily.

I'm wondering if my dumplings steamed faster than I expected or if I just was distracted, making it seem like it took less time. 🤔

Ow. I slept on my hand again last night, and it still hurts. 🤕

@JeremyMallin Another manufacturing defect. We shouldn't be able to injure ourselves while unconscious.

@Cassandra Indeed!

#FunFact
The same N-95, KN-95, and equivalent respirators that protect you from airborne contagious disease also provide protection from wildfire smoke.

It's too bad that I can't turn off my camera and microphone in real life like I can on Zoom.

@JeremyMallin That's a subscription I would pay for.

Is there a name for the entire class of nonsensical debates like "is a thumb a finger?" or "is [x] a sandwich?", and if so what do we call those? (besides pointless and annoying)
