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.

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

Anyone I know on ?

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

Looking for an rss generator that works on websites with pagination. Any apps or ideas to solve this?

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

This beauty finally arrived, Ploopy Adept .

Last year I tested the water with a Ploopy Nano, a fantastic little trackball that easily sat between my split keyboard. The only issue for me was not so much the lack of buttons, but the inability to map keyboard keys together with trackball movement. With a trackpad you can hold ⌘ and swipe to zoom in Figma.

The Ploopy Adept comes with /VIA firmware https://github.com/ploopyco/adept-trackball/tree/master https://github.com/ploopyco/adept-trackball/tree/master

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

@ovan@mastodon.social avatar

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

@ovan@mastodon.social avatar

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