2 mins using pixelfed and i'm finding ridiculous basic broken stuff :/

https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/3169

my list of things wrong:

1) this is a useless feature that should have been deprioritized and the time used elsewhere

2) it should be a freeform text field, it's way more time/effort to make a list

3) now someone has to update the list because there isn't an "other..." option, increasing the time sunk into this useless feature

4) the 99% use case is not at the top of the list

5) nobody, and i mean nobody, knows that you need to command-click to select multiple items in a multiselect list

pixelfed.social has an itemized list of pronouns you're allowed to use on your pixelfed profile. you can't just type into a plain text box, there's a list that you can choose from. you can choose up to 4. they're almost all made up words that don't exist.

there are many things wrong with this. at least 3.

~/Documents/_MEME/_CATS/

i really like that several of the best things i liked on twitter and reddit are now mirrored by bots into fedi, specifically

@foone and @it_meirl_bot

@tk runs a pretty good instance over there! i especially like the amber phosphor color scheme. <3

ugh, i keep my apps in ~/Applications so as to keep the systemwide /Applications not needed to be backed up. Then I just back up $HOME/. The problem is if I exclude $HOME from spotlight indexing, it won't let me command-space launch apps in ~/Applications. I'd happily make an /Applications.mine or something but you can't make directories in the root of osx anymore because the root is readonly and all user data is on an overlay fs.

hooking up displays to a mac is sort of a pain in the ass. despite adopting usbc for laptops, pcs still don't use usbc for high res desktop displays. i have 3x 4k hooked up to a pc with displayport, hooking them up to my 16" m1max rmbp would use up all of the i/o i think? maybe i can do two with displayport to c adapters then maybe the hdmi will do 4k@60hz and i can just switch the third monitor's input?

i am about to completely zeroize my main battlestation after 3ish years and even though i have 4 backups and two other full-ass configured/operational workstations it is still making me nervous

we need more AP clients with adversarial interop. for example scraping rss of instances that defederate

idea: keycaps with ascii hex codes

i think perhaps the jerk admin of mastodon.technology has finally unbanned my instance. i hope this means that he has realized that preventing 17,000+ adults from being able to read what they want to on the internet is rude.

life pro tip: when you buy band aids, clorox, or sharpies, buy the off brand. like 50+ of the price is the brand name, you get better quality for less money going with someone else. "adhesive bandage", "permanent marker", "liquid bleach"

i would like software that can mirror rss feeds to an activitypub account, please provide

btw if you don't know about it, f2 is one of the best pieces of software that exists: https://github.com/ayoisaiah/f2

i have placed 469 amazon orders in the last 90 days. i think perhaps that's too many

was just about to reimplement updatedb/locate with shell scripts and grep but then realized i could just install locate
