@hrefna The spicy take was so weird. Why put effort into that. Also the demo felt like I was watching an episode of The View or a late night infomercial.

I work from home full time. I spend 8 hour plus extra at night sometimes for study sessions / programming hobbies. Fairly regular sized person, looking for back support - I currently sit at the edge of my seat for some reason. Probably not good.
Willing to spend some money on this, although I will mumble and grumble about it.
@cory I'm using eavesdrop to push my Plex plays over to Listenbrainz and have been wanting to add the now playing / pinned song to my site. Small potatoes comparatively, heh.
@julian I’ve just watched the 1st episode (well, the first that came out last week) and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I love seeing a doctor that’s more in tune with his emotions. And seems to be more direct with his companion, too.
The sonic screwdriver is my one WTF tho. Looks like a cordless mouse?
In recent years I’ve had to turn on close captioning to keep up. These two were easier to understand by this yankee and allowed me to focus on the show itself.
@dimillian@IceCubesApp I appreciate this feature so much. Most of the time I can think through what I want to say and enjoy writing something creative. But when my brain worms start nibbling this comes in handy.
@andycarolan The sad thing is I have two opportunities I'd love to get out to my colleagues I've worked with in the past, but announcing it on LinkedIn means a flood of recruiters and marketers hitting me and it's just not worth it. So I'm just messaging them individually via text or whatever.
I'm sorry for flooding your timelines all day but it's been so darn exciting! Tonight I'll go to bed not only having had a launch day that exceeded all of my wildest expectations, but I'll also have had Plinky cupcakes in my Plinky hat with a Plinky colored bouquet, courtesy of my perfect partner Colleen.
After 5 years of WordPress, I have rebuilt my website using @eleventy! I've been using Eleventy for years now on other projects (including one for NASA) and I'm super stoked to be using it for my personal website.
"just press 0 until they let you talk to a human" hasn't worked for large companies for 5–10 years and i wish people would stop with that advice. they will just drop your call.
phone menus are designed to deflect calls from actual customer service, and they get upgraded until they can reliably do that.
@vyr As someone that configured a phone tree system…the best thing you can do is be absolute chaos. Mumble, press weird buttons, ask your questions in strange ways, the AI will give up and forward you to someone real…eventually. Just don’t be too weird because there may be real people listening to you. 😅
@andypiper@MastodonEngineering@renchap Great update, very interested in the API changes. What amazing things will our community do with it?! A shout out for the design of these blog entries, easy to ingest all the information in there.
@vasta Spot on in regards to a focus on closed communications. The way notifications work even puts more prominence on closed chats between team members. Trying to start a conversation within a Team channel is kin to shouting into the void. Team members often miss them because the notification alerts are confusing to understand.
I think following specific hashtags of a profile would be useful. Technically it's like following a profile but the timeline posts filtered by specific hashtags. Perhaps similar logic on Mastodon, to hiding boosts from profile or filtering posts by subscribed languages.
Could probably solve the issue where folks create multiple accounts for different interests or circles.
@cheeaun This exists on Forkeys as Antennas. Follow a set of users related to a specific hashtag or keyword that appears in their posts. It’s not retroactive tho, it starts collecting the posts written after the antenna gets setup.
@cheeaun Agreed, too complicated. I like your idea of Follow Tags from the Profile, much easier. You could kinda implement this today with some API trickery but you'd have to store the user/tag combos somewhere. Kinda like you do with your hashtag combo timelines now, maybe?
