Lining up the final 4 posts for . I have 3 of the 4 topics picked out, but still have an opening. Anything you're interested in my thoughts/opinions about?

@anniegreens I guess the question is, who is it really for? I like the look of what you have here. If you could automate it, great. If you can’t, then, yeah, a manual version is what’s gonna be best.

It's the year 2024, maybe we can finally stop negging people for not using <insert preferred OS flavor here>?

I can't watch most streaming providers at my computer because my dock utilizes DisplayLink, which for whatever reason looks like it's recording your screen at all times.

Definitely helps the productivity.

I would rather read your blog post with no header image than something you generated using some sort of AI.

@soulcutter That, I almost wonder if it was intentional satire.

Probably not? But I like to pretend people aren't that dense.

Situation:

I can watch some DRM content on my device, but the operating system puts up road blocks if I try to take a screen shot or recording, because “piracy” and because “IP Rights.”

But if the OS itself wants to record everything I do and see because “recall” and because “AI,” it will do so whether what I am doing is private or not.

This is a very boring dystopia.

@paladin @raganwald This is such a wildly unhelpful comment.

I will always believe we should honor fallen troops by doing everything we can to make sure no one ever dies in dubious future wars. When we sacrifice our young people, it should mean something lasting. This is my grandmother’s brother, Gratton McFadyen, who died fighting fascists in Italy.

IMO, Threads is the exact same way. It’s like a weird mashup of Twitter and LinkedIn over there. Very weird vibes. https://pdx.social/@louie/112511552594973924

@ivory Weird Mac bug I can reproduce 100% of the time:

  • Ivory is set to half a screen, touching top/bottom/right side; this screen sits above my main screen in a stacked layout
  • Receive notification & click
  • Whatever the notification is pops up & takes up full window (profile from follow, toot from, well, a toot, etc.)
  • Close that window
  • The main window will reposition itself ~5% lower from the top, pushing in to the screen below
