astromecanik, to iOS

Went back to listening to music in the #iOS #Music app after a few months, and now my playlists are all gone (actually the songs; the playlists are empty). This sucks! Is there something I could do to get the song lists back?

astromecanik, to DiabloIV

I still can’t believe a single player game like #DiabloIV can’t be played offline. Right now I can’t spend my limited time playing it because the server doesn’t let me. “Try again later” on a game I paid for…

astromecanik, to windows

Huh, so my #Windows #Mail app is now making me go to "New #Outlook" app... with ads. No thanks. Is #Thunderbird the way? Looking for advice.

astromecanik,

@thunderbird @igaraba So, setting my accounts and calendars... no major issues so far. Still, it seems like #Apple doesn't like to play along when importing calendars or address books? Seems like I had to jump a few hoops to get some things working.

astromecanik,

@thunderbird @igaraba I mainly used the instructions shared here: https://frightanic.com/apple-mac/thunderbird-icloud-calendar-sync/ . It wasn't too difficult but had to enter my iCloud calendars one by one (glad I only have the defaults).

astromecanik,

@thunderbird @igaraba thanks! Will check it out

Such a funny question... in #PuertoRico, potholes are always going to be there!

is the next game on the list!

astromecanik,

@BlueBlasphemy @EighthLayer you should keep at it. It’s worth it. I loved it.

My highlights of 2023

All images taken from my driveway near Tucson, Arizona; except for the eclipse which was on a trip to Roswell, New Mexico.

astromecanik,

@thomasfuchs APOD-worthy for sure

Hey #PCBuilders, I have an RTX 2070 Super and since I'm a Linux gamer 98% of the time, I've been thinking about going team red. I found a dude who might be down to trade me a Radeon VII for my 2070S... is that a good deal or a bad deal?

Linux compatibility should be way better, and it seems like performance is comparable, but idk about raytracing performance and I've heard the R VII can be pretty loud.

Opinions? Advice?

astromecanik,

@ADHDefy I understand that the R VII is somewhat worse than a 2070S. Something along the 5700XT would be more comparable.

But why… I wonder how much of this article was indeed written by the author and how much was AI.

Eclipse solar parcial visto desde Puerto Rico

Les comparto una imagen del #eclipse solar parcial visto desde Isabela, PR. Dada su ubicación geográfica, desde Puerto Rico el eclipse no se vió de forma anular como en otras regiones de América, sino que en su punto máximo, la luna ocultó parcialmente la superficie del sol, como se puede ver en la foto. El punto máximo del eclipse fue aproximadamente a las 6:20 UTC.

I thought it was only me, but no… it seems it’s more widespread than I expected.

astromecanik, to Starfield

Opinions on #Starfield?

So far, I’m enjoying the on-foot portion of the game, but the space travel/jumping between systems seems tacked on. There’s so many things done with loading screens, so I don’t feel like I’m flying anywhere. Too bad because there’s the ship building mechanic, but I’m not sure that space travel is being used to its fullest extent.

Trump finally has a mugshot & has been made to post bail — standard practice for criminal defendants that he's been spared up till now.

His defenders who complain about a "two-tiered" justice system are half right. There's one for the rich & powerful and one for everyone else.

astromecanik,

@mastodonmigration @kenmccann @rbreich your original reply was misunderstood by 99.98789345% of viewers… I did too, until I saw your follow up reply.

Work in Progress! This is the beautiful Helix Nebula, sometimes referred to as the "Eye of God". This is the only planetary nebula I can reasonably capture with my widefield scope. It is very low in the night sky, rising to only 27 degrees above the horizon from my location but I was able to get almost 4 hours on it. I will add more time over the next month to bring out the finer details. Off to a great start!

astromecanik,

@webcubus looking great!

astromecanik, to kbin Spanish

Acabo de crear una cuenta de #Kbin: @caferetro. El formato de #magazines me parece un buen complemento a mi cuenta de #Mastodon.

astromecanik, to gaming

Having a blast playing . I haven’t played a game quite like it. Comparisons to doesn’t paint a complete picture; it more like a cross of ED with a bit of . Last night I was completing a mission while one of my other AI-controller ships completed another unrelated mission! All while my mining ship was making me passive income. I am thrilled.

Can someone ELI5 what’s the difference between #Kbin and #Mastodon? I’m intrigued.

Rare case of green hairy tongue is pure nightmare fuel

The man fully recovered after extra tongue brushing. But you might not.

astromecanik,

@arstechnica ok that was gross

astromecanik, to random

Mastodon users, what's the best way to add/remove people from a given list? So far I've discovered going to their profile and adding them manually. Is there a faster way?

astromecanik,

@timelordiroh is there a way to add/remove a person from a list directly from the timeline?

astromecanik,

@timelordiroh thanks! I didn't understand it the first time you mentioned it
