Please Rate Your Experience https://rknight.me/blog/please-rate-your-experience/

I wrote this in a furious rage last night after receiving yet another “please rate us” email right after @cassey posted about the very same thing

@robb @cassey Generally strongly agree. I do feel bad about the ones whose jobs depend on it though (namely delivery drivers) but I also find those forms the least obnoxious most of the time (tap the number of stars and maybe tap some phrases that describe them).

@robb @la @lewis @leaf @amerpie @mandaris @nil I’m setting up the weblogpomo posting bot and wondered if you wanted your blog included? If so what feed would you like me to use? Thank you!!

@robb Sounds good! Im planning to activate 4-30 and deactivate 6-1 (to hopefully account for all timezones)

@robb I’ll add: I’m opting to not amplify these because a) this is a form of amplification and b) many might already be in the amplify stream anyways. That sound good to you (as echofeed grandmaster)?

@robb Good idea! I’m no pro by any means so ideas/tips appreciated

@robb is there any trick to bluesky authentication if using a custom domain on bluesky on echofeed? Keep getting a "invalid username/password" error trying to add it...

@robb I think I just figured it out. my profile is [name].wand3r.net but to login I have to drop the [name]

Ketchup from @BenRiceM is a fantastic Pokémon companion app. There are a lot of Pokémon and even more data about them all. Ben's app does an amazing job organizing it in a beautifully designed UI. Check it out on @macstories:

    @mph @spaceninja This is one area I think AI could be really helpful on… (emphasis on the could…still not sure how I feel about it in general)

    I’ll be doing some maintenance on social.lol starting at 4 AM UTC (so, in around 13 hours) and over the course of about an hour or so. The disruption should be minimal (no more than a few minutes of downtime). Thanks for your patience as I work to keep the server running nicely!

    @adam Better not be setting up an archive of all of our data to make searchable with crypto payments.

    @mph I’m sitting on a plane somewhere between South Africa and the US! That’s cool that they’d have that pop up. What was your favorite dish?? Did they do any pap or bobotie?

    mbjones,

    @mph Cool! Sounds like a lot of fun. The cape Malay style curries there are sooo good (I betting that was the style?)

    Like @drdrang, I go through considering this at least every 18 - 24 months. Fortunately, I’m too ADHD and too emacs averse to actually follow-through. But the temptation never leaves. https://mastodon.social/@hotdogsladies/111738442011341619

    @film_girl @drdrang @charlesesmith I’ve repeatedly almost picked it up a number of times as well and have decided to be content with the processing that Obsidian is able to do. But Org is this ever-present looming draw, kind of like the Shimmer in Annihilation.

    Ok. CNN is hot garbage but this is just too good not to share

    Boris Sanchez asks Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft’s why he feels it’s ok to remove President Joe Biden from the primary ballot

    “Has he engaged in your mind in some kind of insurrection?”

    What follows is brain melt and gymnastics so good it’s gold medal tier.

    @flexghost that guy made no sense whatsoever. How in the world do they get the positions they are in? (That’s rhetorical btw…still just shocking)

    DHH being a colossal bellend is nothing new. I usually ignore his stupid shenanigans when it's him vs big companies but is just gross. https://512pixels.net/2024/01/basecamp-resubmits-its-calendar-app-includes-dates-in-apple-history-to-get-past-app-review/

    @robb hey look, DHH doing something like this - something I did have on the 2024 bingo card.

    @robb I moved to @bitwarden because of issues and have been happy with it. A bit more technical, maybe, but it’s worked great on iOS and Mac.

    Have seen so many awesome posts detailing peoples App Defaults that I decided to do mine: https://wand3r.net/2024/01/app-defaults-jan-2024

    I also decided to make a static page to keep it updated and maybe track some historical usage @ https://wand3r.net/defaults

    Thanks for the idea & Inspiration @robb!

    @adam so true. And if you unintentionally find yourself in one, acknowledge that there is difference and graciously/gracefully try to move on.

    Leave the hard “I’m gonna change your mind” convos to over tea (or beer) in an ol’ pub.
