On a scale of Chocolate Rain to Hamster Dance, how irrelevant and out of touch are my pop culture references?

@geekysteven I’d give it a “Charlie bit my finger”

@dtgeek Even when I was reading these comics in the early 80s as a kid I remember thinking Midge was in a very dangerous situation. It wasn't funny.

What if Midge was using Moose as muscle for some Sopranos level evil scheme. She was smart and needed the brawn to protect her. Surprised that didn't make it into Riverdale.

@dtgeek I wonder if I have any of those old Archie comics sitting around somewhere - we inherited them from our older cousins, so we were reading 1960 / 70s Archie comics in the 80s. Same with Charlie Brown paperback collections.

Yes, much better alternatives now, and glad you have those options to share!

@eleventy needs your support. This is a project I've had a lot of fun with on a personal level, and also started using it for a small documentation project at work now, very successfully.

A feature I'm exploring for @IceCubesApp
Pin people at the top of your timeline (like Instagram stories, etc..), and whenever you refresh your timeline, you can tap on their pictures to see their most recent posts in your timeline context. You can also see their posts only, for example.
Interested?

@box464@mastodon.social avatar

@dimillian @cheeaun @IceCubesApp Did you know there's a Featured Profiles endpoint that isn’t even being used on the front end right now? You COULD use that to pin / unpin profiles to the top.

I did some research on it, but in summary the endpoints are found here (check the "see also" section for pin and unpin)

@cheeaun @dimillian @IceCubesApp Of course it’s hacky! I built it. 😌

Not federated. Currently you can’t retrieve someone else’s selections, but at some point they will turn it back on and you are correct it would be public.

Not sure how they plan to bring it back, sounds like some sort of featured page with featured hashtags, people, pinned posts, etc.

I appreciate these Lil' Linux Lessons, because all my linux experience has been self taught. I've often found things that most people just assume you know...I don't. Follow @vkc for more.

I’m rewatching Ugly Betty as a comfort show when I have downtime. So far it has held up, but reserving final recommendations until I get a bit deeper in.

I forgot there is a transgender storyline. It’s treated a bit comically with some truths sprinkled here and there. To be fair, that describes the show as a whole.

But oof some slang that should not have made it in.

Also, of course the actress wasn’t trans.

A screenshot of a Phanpy social media feed. The interface shows three main columns: Following, FediDevs (list), and Notifications (showing recent interactions and messages).

Tonight I learned about SCIM, a identity management standard, which has been picked up and supported by Microsoft.

It's mostly for user auto provisioning and de-provisioning.

Installed the docker of IceShrimp.NET, which isn't even in beta yet. I have a few installs under my belt now (Mastodon, Bonfire, GoToSocial, etc.) so I know the basic drill, but this was still a pretty easy install.

In the branch I used, there's no front end yet. Phanpy, Elk and Enafore handled at least the basic posting requests so the API is solid.

So cool to see dotnet code in the fediverse! Follow me @box464 :)

@cbielstein It's following along the lines of IceShrimp and Firefish with emoji reacts and MFM. The idea is that admins with these platforms would be able to easily migrate.

A few things are being abandoned (Clips), and others are being added. (Not exactly sure what Magazines are)

This is nuts. Sam Altman asked Scarlett Johansson to voice ChatGPT 4o and when she refused, OpenAI hired someone else to mimic her voice from "Her" only to take it down after she complained. Wow. 🤯

box464,
@box464@mastodon.social avatar

@carnage4life As soon as I heard the voice, I understood who it was and the reference they were making to the movie. The fact they reached out right before the demo asking her to reconsider, then using it anyway is appalling.

About 5 years ago, I had a health situation and I didn't know if I was going to be able to return to my job as the senior developer for my organization. I went into a documentation frenzy, basically writing down everything I did day to day in as much detail as I could for my team.

Any documentation is better than none. This one saved me hours today. Do it.

🪑⑁💺 Looking for home office chair recommendations. 🪑⑁💺

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.

Thanks!

@jnv I found an Aeron for dirt cheap - company going out of business. Had to go pick it up immediately. They had 35 chairs and sold out right after I got there. Thanks for the recommendation!
