If this is true it’s rather embarrassing that the biggest Canadian Mastodon instance decided for me that I shouldn’t be able to interact with Threads. https://mstdn.ca/@bunnyhero/112185360941965228

Has anyone had any luck with Threads federation? I turned it on in Threads and tried looking for my account, but I don’t see it here on Mastodon. Is this a #mstdnca limitation, or has anyone had luck with it on other instances.

I want to connect with some Threads accounts on here. Is that possible on #mstdnca? I hope I don’t have to switch instances to achieve that.

Was messing around with #AppleShortcuts again tonight and think I really got my head around pulling data from JSON. I’m sure lots of other people were doing the same on a Saturday night 😂

I received this email from the Cambridge Times and think it really embodies the disconnect that exists. The idea that they feel their publication is my favourite and that the print edition was beloved. When I think of the print edition I think junk mail, a paper that prioritized selling its front cover to a used car 4 page ad. A paper that got thinner and thinner, while filling the paper with articles from Guelph and KW instead of covering Cambridge.

Damn, that #Loki finale was phenomenal. Some of the best crafted television I’ve seen in a long time, and I’m not even quantifying that with comic book television. It was that good.

"Tailwind is so much easier than CSS, just copy and paste the classes"

The classes 🤦🏼‍♂️

Just felt like sharing my laptop stickers, since my dude Thrawn has made his live action debut in #Ahsoka

jbwharris, 7 months ago to random

That episode was awesome and everything it needed to be. The Threepio cameo was absolutely immaculate. It served to tie in the broader story, while giving a heartfelt nod to Carrie Fisher and the Original Trilogy. Just hearing Anthony Daniels voice just brought immediate joy and Threepio genuinely deserves a good polish after being tarnished in the Sequels.

I keep messing up threading on #Mastodon. Should I be replying to the first post in a thread repeatedly, or replying to the reply, until finished the thread?

jbwharris, 7 months ago to CSS

I have a CSS question I feel like I've tried to figure out for years. Is there a way of forcing a short menu item to always break to 2 lines without adding an additional element, like a span or br tag? I know I've previously faked it by capping the width of the list items, but as you can see in the example, an About Us menu item is always going to be 1 line if you cap the width to account for a word like Resources. Does anyone know of a way of achieving this using modern CSS?

If you're like me and don't want to interact with Twitter, but also know that sometimes useful information exists there, I found some useful browser extensions for solving just that problem. Anytime a Twitter link is clicked, it just loads the nitter dot net equivalent.

The more I use #Threads, the more I’m looking forward to them federating with #ActivityPub so I can just cherry pick the accounts and people from here and follow them there. There’s lots of friends and accounts that I wish were on Mastodon, and this may serve as an amicable bridge to those people. On the flip side, I see all the reasons I stopped using Instagram here too, the algorithmic filler I didn’t want.

jbwharris, 10 months ago to bluesky

So talking shit about Mastodon on #Bluesky is kind of a sport, but I find there’s another remarkable thing here. Look at those numbers at the bottom. There are less than a million users on Bluesky and that’s some downright impressive traction. I just looked at Trending here on Mastodon and probably all the posts there combined didn’t have the numbers this skeet did. And that’s downright problematic for the health of this platform

Decided to not take my #ADHD meds today after being on them for awhile, and also giving my daughter a day off too (since we got a late start to the day). Holy hell was that a trip. Makes me wonder if that was really what life was like before. Meds tomorrow for sure 😂

jbwharris, 11 months ago to bluesky

You know why #Bluesky is going to take off once it opens up more capacity? Because you can actually find stuff when using the search. I like Mastodon, but some of the choices made here are like trying to grow a platform with one hand tied behind your back

A search for “submarine” on Bluesky, yielding many results

I've found something interesting that happened recently. I've long fought with being a pop drinker. Always loved drinking Pepsi (despite knowing how terrible that stuff tends to be). Recently I started on some #adhd medication and I've found that my appetite for pop has just dissipated. I decided on a whim to have a Pepsi out of the fridge just now and I managed 3 sips before giving up on it. Has anyone else had an experience like that?

jbwharris, 1 year ago to random

So I’ve come to realize I need more levity in my timeline. Yet given how Mastodon search is kinda useless, I don’t even know where to start finding some humour on here. It’s something I miss about Twitter, it was actually funny most of the time.

Did beef pad thai from Pho Bistro near Sportsworld in Kitchener. This was the first place I’d ever tried pad thai a couple years ago. I tried it a few other places, but none were as good as here. I find dish so weird in that the first couple bites seem meh, then the taste starts really growing on you. Happy to have leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

Just saw the trailer for #Silo. Looks very much up my alley. And starts Friday which is even better.
