Randomly curious: what email provider do you use?

On the subject of Apple TV shortcuts, if you disable the touchpad functionality (I do so much accidental input), is there still any way to quickly jump around a video with the physical remote? I've resolved myself to fast forwarding and going to make a coffee

@christianselig You can click-hold the outer ring while it’s playing until it starts ffwd. Each time you click again it should go faster.

I really really wish there was an easy way to selectively cross post to both Mastodon and Bluesky 😩

Every once in a while, I have to go to my kitchen and tighten the knob on my Tofu press, like some kind of medieval torture device.

It makes me feel uncomfortable, and a little hungry.

@andycarolan I totally get that, it is indeed therapeutic. You might be missing out on the sourdough benefits though (and it's not hard to do) 😉

@ovan@mastodon.social avatar

@andycarolan Ah, but it’s just water and rye flour to make the starter (and some patience)

@andycarolan Reminds me of stretch & fold I need to do for making sourdough bread 😅

@sarajw @andycarolan These look great 👍 Where did you order them?

@sarajw @andycarolan Thanks! I thought that was some kind of mockup marketing 😅

Recruiter: Hey mister designer, I have the perfect job for you because you live in BELGIUM and you’re a DEVELOPER, right? RIGHT?

This is probably my favorite “the event will be held here” map of all time and I’m not even being snarky when I say that.

Honestly Edge browser need to chill down a bit on the Copilot marketing. That's a huge icon there 😅

ovan,
@ovan@mastodon.social avatar

@cheeaun It would probably work just as well, if not better, if this was just a blue dot.

It’s also a terrible icon/logo, as it doesn’t pass the “can you describe the logo” for many people.

The way they are pushing Bing, Edge, and now Copilot really feels like they are desperate.

LAMY Safari · fountain pen

acquired 1993-09 · $20
cost per use to date: >$0.001

durable · comfortable · an iconic ink level indicator · inexpensive · comes in many colors

My first and last(?) fountain pen. It was given to me by my father and I wrote with it every day for about 15 years — these days I reach for it to write cards or letters.

@kepano You can even easily remove the nib by pulling it off. Replacement is very cheap.

Going to play around and compare some blogging options today: Scribbles, Gibberish, Pika, Ghost, micro.blog, … what else should I look at?

@MonaApp Why would a reply show up in the counts but not be visible? From the mastodon web interface there’s no problem.

Is this a Mastodon or @MonaApp limitation? I’d like to create lists of people that I don’t necessarily follow.

Gave Vivaldi another go, for reasons*. Uninstalled < 10 minutes later. Way too much settings, that ultimately don’t allow you to set the things you want. Good luck trying to disable/remove the start page, or paste the exact hex number for your theme and see it applied differently.

*I want some features from Arc (split, pip, command menu), with the minimal ui of Safari. That’s it.

Anyone I know on ?

I ditched Strava long time ago and used Komoot in isolation. Would be nice to follow a few peeps though.

Dear NoReply. Thanks for the reminder to delete my photos & account. I’m not ok with an opt-out clause to use my uploads that were done before you changed the rules.

ovan, to privacy
@ovan@mastodon.social avatar

Stop this madness! Sharing my data with 1532 "partners" is not valuing my privacy.

  • Analytics should only be used for the website or service. No data should be sold, or transferred to 3rd parties.
  • Any primary action must default to the most privacy preserving setting.

Appreciate your boost if you also think it's about time the @EU_Commission worked on an update of the rules.
