A truck carrying over 100K live Chinook (salmon) smolts (juveniles) for relocation in Oregon wrecked and flipped over. The container was breached and 77K of the fish survived because the breach poured them into a creek where environmentalists expect them to survive and thrive. 🤯

Wow! Affinity are obviously listening to their market! I just got an email stating a 4 point pledge. Part 1 is the most important and includes this:

"If we do offer a subscription, it will only ever be as an option alongside the perpetual model, for those who prefer it. "

Hurrah!!!

Well done Affinity!

jon,
@jon@henshaw.social avatar

@simoncox based on that pledge, it makes me think that Canva has really thought this through already, and they see Affinity as a vector into new audiences and marketshare.

Surprising enough i'm spending more time on #LinkedIn as my "other than #Mastodon social space".

While recruiter and over the top marketing folks are there, they are easy enough to avoid and ignore surprisingly enough.

Not sure why. Initial impressions is that there are more "news" links vs "snarky/hot takes and reactive" takes. Less negativity. More business, less geek (therefore balances my reading with here). Could never spend a lot of time there daily but it can be a breath of fresh air.

@davidbisset LI is the only centralized social media platform I still engage with. But I and others use it in a different capacity, which is for our career. And the people that use it like they do X, FB, etc. are more than likely harming their career and future opportunities for employment.

@coywolf hey, I see you updated this post a month ago. https://www.coywolf.news/social/twitter-alternative-mastodon/

Why not update it to remove the wildly out of date info about migration tools?

Your update dates are conspicuously prominent. You seem to surface them for SEO. This is why your post was shown first when I went looking for up to date info on options for migration tools. I was looking, because the original tools that were made have been broken for a very long time.

jon,
@jon@henshaw.social avatar

@owlboy @coywolf

You're coming in hot and making accusations when you could have just said, "I noticed your migration options are outdated. Please update them. Here are some to consider."

I leave the original publish date visible, and the "updated" date changes automatically when I modify something small (i.e., poor grammar, a new image, or a broken link) or big.

Google is smart enough to detect actual changes to the copy and not be duped by a simple date change. There's no manipulation.

jon,
@jon@henshaw.social avatar

@owlboy @coywolf

Writing for my sites isn't even a part-time thing. It's a passion project, and I write about stuff I feel like writing about whenever I feel inspired.

That said, I'll make an effort to update the migration options because it does suck for the reader if those options are out of date. If you know of any, please share them with me, and I'll consider them for an update. Meanwhile, I'll see what's new out there.

I assume it's based on the actions X has taken with its API and fighting bots. Definitely a bummer.

Have you tried this? https://www.movetodon.org/

Never mind. Same thing. Doesn't work because of the Twitter API :picard:

Desktop PWAs are turning into an absolute gamechanger for me. Half my org wants to use them for some key use cases. I wish they were far, far, far easier to install.

@ben if you work somewhere that relies on Google for Work, it’s kind of the only way to manage it. I have Gmail, Calendar, and Meet all as separate apps from the main browser. It’s the only way to maintain sanity and get to them quickly.

It's always a surprise when I grab a shirt and the sock I've been missing for 6 months pops out of it onto the floor.

Simon - "I don't turn on images in email by default and so you sent me this:"

jon,

@simoncox @semrush

I’m the same regarding images because I don’t like my email behavior being monitored. If the message isn’t text-rich and relies on images to communicate the message, that ain’t gonna work for me either.

If the cicada killing wasps also appear in force during the double brood emergence, it’s gonna be quite an event. Many of them are burrowed around my home, and while harmless to humans, they look menacing when they fly near you.

Speaking of which, they catch and paralyze cicadas, put them in the ground and inject an egg into them, all while alive. You can figure out the rest. Just another example of how hard core nature can be.

@feld but why? They’re not harmful to humans and are an important part of the food chain.

jon,
@jon@henshaw.social avatar

@feld I suppose that's a good reason to. They can definitely seem menacing. They've only bothered me when mowing the lawn, and it is unnerving.

My biggest issue with wasps and bees has been with carpenter bees. For a couple months out of the year I can't run on the trail near my home without them attacking my head and following me everywhere.
