I’d seen it in my Firefox/Win10 + uBlockO setup. I just used yt-dlp and then a uBlock “quick fixes” update sorted it.

Ah, they’d changed it? That explains my confusion - I already had a Mastodon account so I was familiar with the boost concept, apart from how it worked in a threaded setup.

Anyway, yeah - confusing!

That all depends on what you’re interested in. I’m assuming you’ve come from reddit, so you could try sub.rehab to find new homes for your subs, although tbh I don’t know if it’s up to date or not - there have been some instances die so the communities had to move.

I agree, and I still don’t even know if they mean magazine as in the publication or as in the thing that holds ammunition - both make about the same amount of sense to me.

I find kbin more confusing overall, e.g. how you have both boost and voting available, but then for short posts boost is more obviously placed (since the up/downvote buttons are way over on the right).

Deebster, 7 months ago

Yup, although on kbin they’re called “magazines”, so their urls start with /m/, e.g. kbin.social/m/RedditMigration

I used to see them in the UK. Perhaps they’re making the boxes stronger to save needing the plastic, or maybe it’s just smaller pizzas/boxes don’t need them.

I was thinking it wasn’t as exciting a game as yesterday’s two but then that final quarter happened. I think we were a little lucky to get away with that intentional knock on not being a yellow, but I think Eng haven’t played that well in a long while.

Which timezone is this? B-, good effort

I’d seen someone calling all us Kagi fans shills which I thought was stupid at the time, but now I’m starting to see why they might think that.

I love that this is both amusing and completely factual.

I’m a Brit so it’s not something I can use without sounding odd, but y’all’s my favourite thing to come out of American English since ok.

YA books are definitely a good call for when I’m short on time. Normally I only read one fiction and one non-fiction - I don’t understand those people who have dozens of books on the go!

Deebster, 7 months ago

No, but please report back :)

I liked the format* of Dracula, that was a welcome surprise.

• I looked up the term: “epistolary”.

Looks like a great suggestion, thanks.

Ghost Eaters by Clay McLeod Chapman

Messed up sounds good, I’ll add that to the list, cheers.

Deebster, 7 months ago

The complete collection is on Kindle for £0.99, so I have that now, thanks. It includes the Gammel illustrations, and they look great!

Deebster, 7 months ago

Huh, that one’s already in my to-read list, I’ll add that to the top of my Halloween to-read list

Deebster, 7 months ago

I think most of those books are older than I am! New releases go into the to-read list, to settle in and get comfy alongside the ~600 others.

I do like my post apocalyptic stuff, but I don’t feel it’s very halloweeny. I did enjoy The Road when I read it five years ago.

Deebster, 7 months ago

All the ones I actually want on my phone worked already, but this is still good news.

My point is that social media management tools already exist, so why do you think the Fediverse needs to “consider it”? I don’t understand what you’re expecting.

Deebster, 7 months ago

This isn’t a Fediverse-specific topic, that I can see. This is something that’s fairly trivial to do - there’s already services that will post to multiple channels (“social media management tools” seems to be best search term). In these ten months you could have written one yourself!

Also, the main point of POSSE seems to be that you control your own domain and space online, and everything else points back to that. That assumes that your main way of communicating is via publishing chunks of content, of course, which is patently not true. It also assumes that everyone’s way more technical than they are - plenty of people call their browser “the internet” and would glaze over the second you started talking about domain names, etc.

You don’t need another step when you start in your ultimate form 🦀

Or slurry if there’s lots of gravel in it?
