The coffee I made four hours ago is cold.

What hell is this?!

I really really wish there was an easy way to selectively cross post to both Mastodon and Bluesky 😩

Just back from a bike ride into town.

Now, I've gotta ask... why does everyone appear to be buying Nissan Qashqais? Is there something I’m missing about these vehicles?

I can stand for 2 mins at a junction and see between 5 and 7 of these things drive by.

So, my current workflow for watching anything that anybody posts to YouTube is to first try it in Safari... if it detects ad blockers there, I open the link in Firefox, which seems to deliver a short pause, then plays the video.

Ads on there are obnoxious, prevalent and most often un-skipable, that watching anything on the platform has become a chore. If they lowered the price of ad-free, I may consider it, but at the moment, it's more than just about any other streaming service.

💊 I just added my medications into Apple Health. Most are supplements or as-needed remedies, but it's nice to have a reminder.

I may add Caffeine to it as it's one ‘medication’ that I consume the most 🤣

I wonder if there's a site somewhere listing federated alternatives to the centralised services we use.

Twitter = Mastodon

Instagram = Pixelfed

Reddit = Lemmy

etc.

It would be useful to see feature comparisons between them, and where gaps exist maybe this would encourage a federated effort to eventually close those gaps.

If you had just caught a shiny (normal) Rattata, would you evolve it into a Raticate? 🤔

So, I've never used IRC before, but I've downloaded LimeChat and have signed up on the omg.lol IRC server.

I don't really know where to go from here 🤔

🤔 I bought 6 cans of Coconut Cream and now I’m thinking that I need to make a kickass #Vegan Korma.

♥️ I just had to buy this sticker yesterday! No idea why, but it made me laugh... perhaps it reminds me of Untitled Goose Game?

Going to give these a try tonight.

In my toxic tech company purge, I'm considering deleting my Google account. Has anyone else done this?

I only use it for Youtube, and that's become so painful lately, that I would rather find other ways to support the creators I enjoy.

20°C out there today... is nice!

I wonder if Musk realises just how much frontend work he’s caused changing Twitter’s brand to ‘x’?!

Not only will some folk and companies not bother to change their contact/social info, many will take months or years.

Also, is that ‘logo’ even permanent or just a placeholder?

Not far from 12000 posts on Mastodon.

All killer, no filler! 😅

I’m in the bathtub using a bubble bar that looks a lot like the background of my profile pic

Every once in a while, I have to go to my kitchen and tighten the knob on my Tofu press, like some kind of medieval torture device.

It makes me feel uncomfortable, and a little hungry.

Im sure Amazon are getting worse. Apparently, the driver punched the box to force it into the locker. This kind of thing is why I cancelled Prime and try to use anywhere else if I can.

Also, the other item I ordered was a day late, because of course it was.

So, am I right in thinking that the car doors on a Tesla are electrically operated, and can't be opened if the power fails?

How the hell is that safe?!

Anyone else here use Ecosia? How is it?

Has anyone managed to completely avoid using supermarkets? Is it even possible to avoid using them completely now?
