: Shopping for a cart for groceries

There's a steep hill, with sometimes crummy, icy sidewalks, between my preferred grocery store and my 3rd floor walkup home.

Is there anything better than the foldup metal grocery cart they sell at the Ace Hardware in ?

As an extension to the notes feature it would be good if, when someone you don't follow back replies, you could see a history of their other replies to you (and maybe people you know) to help you decide if you should follow, mute, or block.

@misc I do like it.

A new tab on the profile, right of existing 'posts, posts and replies, media', labeled 'with you'.
-Shows up when logged in
displaying in reverse chronological order
-Includes all interactions with you and they are associated with the post.

Story: As a logged in user viewing a user profile, I want to see my message history with that profile so that I can be reminded of past interactions with that user, and make decisions about future interactions.

Does that capture it?

@misc ah, so likes and boosts of your posts by them, and vice versa, that makes a lot of sense. agree.

if its just looking at your and their instance, should be trivial, agreed looking at mutuals on many servers would be much harder - the algorithm would have to parse through all posts by what might be hundreds of mutuals across possibly almost as many instances.

I will ponder on this.

Any ideas for filling a 3+ hour wedding reception, if you’re not into traditional stuff like throwing flowers or father daughter dances or whatever? Just looking for low key/minimal, but don’t want people to get bored.

there was a tiktok making the rounds earlier in 2023, with the premise being a plushie toss, and whomever catches it is said to be the next person to adopt an animal (you could maybe work in @MSPCAAngell or similar?)

I would like to see a new federated permission like "allow crowd editing of the image description." That way, important images can be crowd-described once they are important or seen often enough to bother. I guarantee people will volunteer to do it. There could even be a "call" button to flag the the item as needing one. The item's author can opt-in to keeping the right to approve such modifications.

@shoq

I like this idea, getting popular media transcribed sooner is better.

I know there's and , for when folks have supplied alt text to someone else. I'm sure there's others.

Does the fedi have any consistent 'summon help' hashtag, like ?

I would, today, volunteer time to describe images.

Does having money turn people into assholes or is it the other way around?

knizer,
@knizer@toot.boston avatar

@misc I know zero people who do not have assholes so I can't speak to whether that results in turning people into money.

I am willing to drive an hour from for really, really good takeout biscuits and gravy, on a rainy July today.

Where am I going, ?

knizer,
@knizer@toot.boston avatar

@nuncio totally still is, and it is a viable option, but there has to be better biscuits somewhere, worth the drive.

knizer,
@knizer@toot.boston avatar

@nuncio right? And fwiw, redbones has biscuits with peach jam on the menu.

Hmmmm. The nearest Waffle House is 5 hours away... https://goo.gl/maps/Zr3qgQjFBSUWVn6k7

Mastodon needs a "remind me bot" (probably just a client feature so it doesn't require cluttering people's replies)
