@mhzmodels @NanoRaptor Today is the first time I've learned about voxel. Any help with how I could learn more about it? Thank you

I just tried to buy either Pomegranate, Cranberry or Cherry juice.

Pomegranate = Contains Sucralose

Cranberry 1 = Contains Sucralose

Cranberry 2 = Contains Stevia

Cherry = Contains Sucralose

FFS! I either want unsweetened or one with natural sugars.

When did we decide that sugar was evil?!

@andycarolan Is Stevia and sucralose worse than white sugar? (I'm very interesting in this topic and I haven't got to study it yet)

Me if iOS 17 does not let me replace the flashlight and camera buttons on the Lock Screen with buttons that run any shortcut.

@simonbs what would you replace them with? What would the specific shortcut buttons do?

I have a Bluesky account, but don’t use it much yet, the app is very average and not native 🤮

Definitely enjoying Mastodon and all the amazing third-party clients more 🙌

Don’t miss Twitter one bit.

Does anyone know if there’s a way to change the font Safari uses for displaying text files?

al3x,
@al3x@hachyderm.io avatar

@czottmann What would you put in there to format a text file?

I have tried the below and it does nothing because I believe there’s no HTML view

@font-face {  
 font-family: monospace;  
 src: local('Dossier');  
}
al3x,
@al3x@hachyderm.io avatar

@czottmann you are right. that <pre> has font-family: monospace and that should've worked with the rule I was trying

@font-face {  
 font-family: monospace;  
 src: local('Dossier');  
}

I'm wondering if this has to do with the different protections in Safari not allowing for local fonts

al3x,
@al3x@hachyderm.io avatar

@czottmann I gave up trying. I'm piping out the output into a text editor where I can use whatever font I want :D. Thank you

In my experience, people who are most concerned with how things look are often the least concerned with how things are

al3x,
@al3x@hachyderm.io avatar

@adhdeanasl @mako What is this based on?

I’ve encountered many people for which the behind the scenes must look as good as the user facing parts. And both have to look good to truly reflect mastership.

@MonaApp I’m getting an error when trying to load my Bookmarks. The error seem to indicate toward a Mastodon issue: “Error: Maston: Record not found. Reload”

Any ideas what should I do? thank you

@MonaApp I’ve just bookmarked your reply on the website. Start Mona, click Bookmarks tab, and still the same error.

@parsa I’m already doing that. Thanks

I do love Gentler Streak; it doesn’t promote grinding away, but rather, encourages you to rest when you need to.

@mako This one https://gentler.app/? I’m currently managing my own training schedule and use both Garmin and Apple Watch for tracking. I’m paying (some) attention to Garmin’s Training readiness and Time to recover. I can’t take it very serious though given its own smart scheduling don’t consider those metrics.
