@rysiek you seem to be a bit of a Mastodon ninja. Can you help me find a new server that does not plan to federate with Threads? Where I am now: EU-based, interested in climate, lots of European languages (German, Dutch, French, Spanish...) I pay a little every month. Huge thanks!

@IcooIey@mastodon.green avatar

@rysiek @alberto_cottica yes, I’ve done this. But I found there is leakage depending on what mobile app I use to access my account. I’ve still seen threads posts, and was told blocking an instance from an account works similarly to muting, not like blocking by an instance. My posts may still be visible; I still may see threads posts.

Forgot to mention this morning, Fish (who is 4) has never paid attention to the TV. His first time watching the waterhole. There was no sound, just images. Rapt!

I have no idea how any of this works, but I have a question.

Was curious to see how me blocking a domain would play out in practice. So, I blocked threads.net. Just checked and, yes, it is blocked from my account (but not on my instance).
Have not seen any posts when using the desktop interface.
But! I do see threads.net posts when using mobil app ice cubes.
Why? How? what's the point of blocking a domain if it doesn't always block the domain?
Mysterious.

Student: When does spring break start?

Me: Next Friday.

Student: When do we come back?

Me: April 8th.

Student: That's a long time to have off.

Me: Yeah, it's a pretty good break.

Student: I didn't mean it like that.

Me: How did you mean it?

Student: (quietly) Would it be possible for me to bring snacks home for me and my brother?

Me: Of course! We'll pack up all your favorites!

Me: (remembering not everyone looks forward to school breaks) We'll pack up your brother's favorites too.

Three frogs and a toad. All can be found in New England marsh habitats.

A magnificent Bullfrog, our largest North American frog, sitting amongst grass and small plants. Bullfrogs are a dark olive on the dorsal side, with bright green below the large eyes and round tympanum and darker stripes and blotches on the legs. There are no dorsolateral ridges. The frogs skin looks moist and glistens.
A close-up of a pickerel frog on wet ground with debris. Pickerel frogs have golden brown dorsolateral stripes bordered by rows of olive green rounded rectangular spots on a brown ground. Their legs have olive green stripes. Their smoothish skin is moist and they are usually found in water.
An American Toad resting on a green lily pad. What is it doing here? Very odd. Looking down on the top of the toad, it has a light stripe down the center of the back and a brown skin with groups of irregular warty bumps. Its outline is more broad and round than a frog.

    Got script for Paxlovid and provider warned about possible high cost. Mine was covered, but later saw a post on here about someone in the US with a + Covid test, who got a Paxlovid script, but insurance wouldn’t cover and pharmacy charged >$1K. A commenter linked to a WashPo article about a poorly known gov. program covering Paxlovid.
    Was able to send gift link to provider who saw me. They had no idea! Hoping this will help someone who needs it.

    You know how I told you not to go to that webcam watching a waterhole in the Namib desert?

    Well, similarly, you really shouldn't go to this partner webcam in the Etosha National Park.

    I mean, who would want to waste time watching a herd of white rhinos arsing about in the night? 🤷‍♂️🙂🦏

    @markmccaughrean well there goes my afternoon! Amazing. Me in the Us being alerted by an astronomer in the Netherlands to watch rhinos in Namibia. The best of the promise of the internet. I wrote two papers on rhinos during law school and am so pleased to share a planet with them.

    I made it to Restaurant Ernst in Berlin today - folks, everything I heard about it got topped by the real experience.

    I will not call it best because there is no way to compare Vermeer to Van Gogh or El Greco to Mucha, they are too different - but it's definitely among my absolute recommendations.

    I had the full menu (their only option) + the non-alcoholic pairing. Wanna come along?

    (P.S. Folks, remember, I block ruthlessly if you poop on my party.)

    Post a photo or cite example of something simple (an object or an experience) that brings abundance and satisfaction way beyond its face-value simplicity.

    Happy weekend! What are we watching, reading, and listening to for fun (or distraction)?

    IcooIey,
    @IcooIey@mastodon.green avatar

    @design_law watched the new Donald Glover Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Cannot say if I liked it or not. But it’s really making me think about identity, what one wants from another person, how usually spy stories make you accept these people have super human capabilities and what if they don’t? What if they are dull? So I guess it’s worth while?
