Okay, I'm going to move my account over to techhub.social. I've not done this before, so fingers crossed I don't mess it up 😅.

See you on the other side!

The idea: Let's take a new header photo for my profile since I've been using the same one since 2019.

Proceeds to spend almost an hour trying to take said "quick" photo 🤦‍♂️

Looks like this month's update for the 2 came a little early. Nice!

Interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing how Samsung's smart ring is going to compare to Oura's current offerings.

I just finished knitting what is maybe the coolest thing I’ve ever knit: a monarch butterfly hat. I haven’t blocked it yet so it’s still a little wibbly but I was just too excited, I had to try it on!

BenjMathis1,

@superbetsy Oh my gosh, that is so cool! I love it!

Microsoft has announced a new subscription service for Copilot for individuals at $20 a month.

While the subscription for enterprise customers made sense, I'm not sure if Copilot Pro currently offers enough benefits for individual users to be willing to pay an additional $20/month for.

Personally, I think it would be better to bundle it with Microsoft 365 or something similar to Google's offerings with Google One.

Um ... wow. Not quite sure if that's a good or bad thing 😅

Just noticed we got some updated nav icons on the Mastodon web app. Nice!

Well, that's interesting. Not sure how I saved something "tomorrow" though?

Excuse me, what? A transparent Microled display!?

Okay, this is really cool. A standard PC, that converts to an tablet. I think this is a good practical approach to the 2-in-1 category.

The updated widgets board experience with the option to disable the MSN news feed has finally rolled out to my device! Honestly, I think this is a much nicer experience.

☆ LOOKING FOR GEN Z ☆

hi! im new to this place and i'm looking for people in my age group. i know in general there's not many of us on here. i actually joined to scope out the app and figure out how to introduce new gen z users. but who is here already?

(forgive my scattered tags im just trying to find y'all )

BenjMathis1,

@star hi 👋 Fellow Gen Zer over here. Welcome to Mastodon!

BenjMathis1,

@star

Honestly, I've really loved it over here. It's definitely a bit different from more "mainstream" social media platforms, but once I got used to it I kind of started liking it better. Most people over here are very kind and accepting, and it all has a nice almost cozy vibe to it.

BenjMathis1, to UI

I really need to start getting to bed earlier lol, but I'm quite pleased with the progress I was able to make on this tonight.

Tomorrow I'll probably add a few more elements and smooth out some of the remaining rough edges on the mockup.

Interesting. Looks like Microsoft is partnering with OEMs to add a new dedicated key for the Windows Copilot.

Okay, the new weather card on the lock screen from today's dev build is really neat.

Last year I was a little over-ambitious with the reading goal, so this year I'm going to start out with a more realistic target and go from there.

BenjMathis1,

It's not like I don't enjoy reading (Cause I do. And I have an ever-growing tbr list), I just keep forgetting 😅

BenjMathis1,

@KydiaMusic Right? Like it’s easier to get distracted by all the “shorter” reads and late-night-research, but they end up taking up all my time. 😭

BenjMathis1,

@KydiaMusic Okay, yeah I'll look into it. Thanks!

2023 was quite a hectic year to say the least. It was full of many letdowns, setbacks, and quite a few unexpected curve balls. To say that I'm ready for this year to finally come to an end is a bit of an understatement.

BenjMathis1,

But I am grateful for the various experiences that have helped me grow this year. And I am also very grateful for everyone both in-person and here on Mastodon who have helped this last year feel just a little less lonely. I legitimately could not imagine where I'd be without all of you. ❤️
