Child A is asking me about the history of mobile phones and the internet, and I'm explaining it from first hand experience. Now I feel ancient.

@hl 😭

I watched the latest episode of Acapulco on AppleTV+ last night and they were talking about "old school" movie transitions like fades and wipes and I had to think really hard about those no longer being used due to technology. They are only used now to simulate the old effects.

Mastodon has a display name length limit and it is preventing me from adding :prami_pride_rainbow: in place of :prami:

I wonder if there is a way we could shorten or "symlink" :prami_pride_rainbow: to just :prami_pride: ahem @prami

Today, I discovered my LG washer and dryer have both become disconnected from my wifi network, and to tell you I have never experienced rage until I realized I was going to have to troubleshoot my washer and dryer's fucking wifi connections would be a horrifying understatement.

@keenan but, and I apologize, why do they need to be

@keenan omg I am rofling

@robb @keenan @bendaubney I have a dryer, a pretty nice one, but I literally only use it for towels and sheets, I hang dry nearly all of my clothing, but I'm weird

@cory @robb @keenan @bendaubney this thread is hilarious

one star for you, bugger off

@robb Like others, I use it everyday, though I don’t have issues. It’s pretty reliable and gets the job done that I ask of it. I’m not sure how I’d rate it, I never give five stars, and usually only four for things I really like. Maybe a three. What’s your beef?

anniegreens,
@anniegreens@social.lol avatar

@robb okay I’m with you there!

Gardening has just sort of happened to me.

I never understood how it could be interesting. My mother and both her parents were avid gardeners, I couldn't have cared less.

Now I realise it has to do with having your own space in which to garden. It's a privilege. Allotments are so important to those who otherwise have no land around their homes in which to potter and plant.

It's a joy isn't it? Pruning, planting, tending and weeding. Not a chore. A slow, gentle, growing joy.

@sarajw "it was a total slugfest" 😆

anniegreens,
@anniegreens@social.lol avatar

@sarajw to be honest that looks like more than slug damage, do you have "earwigs" over there? also there are some sawfly larva that will absolutely decimate a plant overnight

anniegreens,
@anniegreens@social.lol avatar

@sarajw last thing I'll say is to try diatomaceous earth, you can just sprinkle it in a circle around the drip line of the plants and see if that helps, anything with a "soft" body will not want to go over that

@sarajw As part of my new "Brag" page I'm going to write a retrospective and that will definitely be a highlight!

Congratulations to all the participators, whether you made it all the way, partway or sporadically, you did great!

I had an idea last night about trying to figure out many collective blogposts were published but Im too tired 😅

↔️ I'm considering moving my "weblog todos" post to a /changelog page.

anniegreens,
@anniegreens@social.lol avatar

No, I'm not writing a sci-fi or mystery, MacOS.

anniegreens,
@anniegreens@social.lol avatar

Is a manually curated changelog acceptable?

anniegreens,
@anniegreens@social.lol avatar

I ask because I definitely want it to be something like this and this is manual. It will include code but also content and organizational things. It won't include "posts" but it'll probably include pages, which end up as structural changes.

✏️ What weird is that I write Markdown even if the app I'm writing it in doesn't outright support it.

Some breaking news about slashpages. The name had previously been coined, independently from @shellsharks, by @caleb.

The website has been updated to reflect this https://slashpages.net/

@robb phew 😅 thank goodness I didn’t publish the other post I was going to yesterday, fixing now!

If my Mac gave me some indication that the battery in my Magic Trackpad was about to hit zero, that would be just great 🙄

@andycarolan I don't use widgets so I don't know

anniegreens,

@andycarolan so true 😭
