Good morning and happy Sunday to the entire

Let's all talk about what the last day of the weekend has in store for each of us as we get ready for the new week ahead.

Today is just a day of video games, resting and relaxing.

Not much else is planned for the day today so it'll be nice to just be a bit lazy so to speak and get ready for Monday.

@cliffwade Good morning. Watching F1 Italy race now. After I need to deal with the garage battery that is beeping every 20 seconds 🤦‍♂️

Normally I only hear it when we lose power but I guess it really is dead now.

@jnv@fosstodon.org avatar

@cliffwade it’s the backup battery for opening the garage door during a power outage.

"We value your privacy" and "1556 partners". Probably not even a record.

E_OVERFLOW

Look, I can understand a dozen partners, one for analytics, one for telemetry, a few for logins, a handful of privacy-respecting ad networks. But I challenge anyone building such a site to convince me separately about the need to involve 1556 other companies.

@jbqueru I don’t visit that site any longer. Sad how old sites turn into a horrible site for trackers and ads.

Trying out grayscale on my phone. This is nuts. Battery still sucks though, no improvement 🤷‍♂️

    @chris It's raining on here and cold. I heard it was supposed to snow in some parts of Western Canada!

    @chris Oh that's comfortable, we had 31C recently. We always get like a week in May with hot temperatures then it goes back to cold for a bit and then blazing until September!

    @chris The climate change is happening here too. I've noticed it year over year the changes. What I was used to as a kid and young adult, is not what is happening now.

    Good morning and happy Friday

    Let me hear what your day will consist of today and what you might have planned for the weekend ahead.

    It's work stuff today as usual which isn't too busy as things have finally calmed down since our major release of Nova 8 a couple of weeks ago.

    I started Ghost of Tsushima this morning, so more of that later as well as Fortnite with friends. Nothing much for the weekend yet.

    jnv,
    @jnv@fosstodon.org avatar

    @cliffwade Good morning, I should get back into Ghost and finish it. Beautiful game.

    https://phanpy.social is a pretty incredible Mastodon client. Entirely web based, looks great on mobile and desktop, you can configure your shortcuts that appear above or below the river of news.

    Some screenshots from my own account: good notifications page, different kinds of toots get a different status, plus Boosts are shown in their own carousel.

    I've heard one developer made all this, it's pretty incredible.

    Boosts are rolled up into a carousel of toots you can view with sideways scrolling
    Threads are shown grouped together and single posts from threads are indicated as such.

    @alabut @mathowie @ivory Ivory was my main daily app too but having Phanpy on all my devices works better for me. All these features like Catch Up, make my daily use here better. Ivory locks me to only Apple devices which makes it hard to stay in sync on other devices.

    I stopped using Ivory and won't renew my subscription when it ends.

    Happy Thursday to everyone around the today!

    Let's discuss what the day has in store for each of us as we near the end of the week and get ready to head into the weekend.

    It's work as usual here with a meeting at 12pm and then not much else work wise after that.

    I'll be starting Ghost of Tsushima on PC today since it releases at 11am EST. Super excited to play this as I never played it on console.

    @cliffwade Good morning. Great game, I’ve played it on the PS5.

    @cinimodev So funny, I was reading your blog post (April 29th) about movies and how you like Road House, I checked my media server and I had it in my library! Watching it now.

    I gotta say.. it’s fucking scary to see the far right rise so fast in so many countries with such extremes

    We have had 2 world wars with so many deaths that also started with such ‘ideas’ and ‘thoughts’, we cannot and may not let that happen ever again

    Unfortunately I don’t have the answers but I really much wish we could find some common ground and cool down things before it gets even further out of hand

    jnv,
    @jnv@fosstodon.org avatar

    @stux it is unfortunate that no one listens to each other and their options are choosing extreme left or right to get their point across.

    🪑⑁💺 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!

    @box464 I have a bad back and the best chair I've used is the Herman Miller Aeron Chair. I lucked out getting it on a sale but it has lasted me 10 years already.

    I can't believe I'm still here watching this... I feel like all these individual presentations are the same as the previous one.

    @chris It was all pie in the sky stuff that won't be real for awhile anyways. You didn't miss much. They barely talked about anything else.
