Putting this cute little snowman together is treacherous work. I wear a full hazmat suit to deal with it every year and still end up with glitter on me for days.

I haven't visited lately so stopping by to check out what's new. Looks like quite a bit! Saw the news feed preferences, that's cool. And some new buttons to push on posts! Ahhh much improved emoji picker. 😍

Add a style switcher to your site using the alternative stylesheets standard, which has been around for almost 20 years! Very simple to configure.
Have fun with it, add some retro flair with some modern techniques.

The Retro Magic of Style Switchers | Jeff Sikes
What’s a style switcher? Well, you know all about light and dark mode, right? Or, you might be more familiar with the term “theme” or “skin” - it’s all the same thing. A style switcher allows you to add themes or skins to your site. Style switchers are fairly common twenty years ago, as the magic of..

Ever wondered why the links you post on #Mastodon show nicely formatted preview cards and other just display a boring old link? Some may even show video and audio controls.
Why does it work sometimes and not others? In this latest deep dive, I dig into the code and get some answers.

Recently needed some phone numbers I could call repeatedly for testing purposes. Check out my curated collection of interesting, odd, and funny numbers.
Remember, your phone can also CALL people! But you won't have to talk to a real person so it's all good. 😅
Have any to add? #funny #Retro

Touch Tone your Funny Bone | Jeff Sikes
Recently, my organization decided to switch our phone system to “soft phones”, meaning your work calls come in via a software app rather than having a physical phone at each desk. The pandemic obviously helped this along, but it worked so well, we decided to transition everything over and drop the p..

Moving 10 years of emails to another provider for my parents.
A decade of memories - all there. Bits and bytes on random servers across the globe.
No albums and letters to pass down anymore. This is it.
Social media content should have the same longevity and portability. Does yours?

MacOS Emoji Shortcut 🙀
Today I learned a #macOS shortcut that just makes my day a bit brighter. 💡
Control - Command - Space
Brings up a nice little built in emoji picker!
🌼✌🏼
It’s the little things. ❤️

#TIL that the #MastodonAPI doesn’t have an “Only Return Posts with Media” parameter on all endpoints that return statuses.

On this #LeaveTwitterDay here’s an article that walks through how to review the information Twitter is collecting about you and shares with advertisers. Might help you decide to take the leap!
It was an eye opening experience for me, 👀.

There's a new competitor to LinkedIn that is a cross between a social feed, personal blog and a resume. It's quite interesting! Not a Spoutible competitor.
It's called read.cv, invite only at the moment. I have 5 invites to share total, so grab one and get your preferred account name while you ca

An easy but useful #Apple #shortcut for iOS / iCloud+ subscribers. Get the most of the “Hide my Email” option! It’s easy to use when you’re in Safari or email, but sometimes you need to use the feature outside of those scenarios.

So I think if you mark a post as “Only people I mention” and not mention anyone, anyone can like it.
Thanks #SpoutibleTesting friends!
However I just replied to my original thread and someone that had liked the original post could reply to my reply. Confusing.

Another #Spoutible #lab if y'all don't mind.
Testing Reply Options for a few minutes.
This spout allows replies from only people I mention, but not mentioning anyone. Assuming it's a read only spout.
Try a reply, like or boost!
Send a DM and let me know what happened.
Thanks!

After the 1,000th email from #NextDoor notifying me that Karen was upset over an employee not treating her like royalty, I finally logged in to refine my notification settings.
Y'all. There are 14 PAGES of Notification preferences to toggle. And no “Turn all notifications off” option.

Locked my #Twitter account this weekend and my collected "demographics" were…interesting. 😂
Turns out I enjoy everything from Animal Crossing to Anti-fascism.
Pleased that both ScreamQueens and kraftmacncheese found me a quality candidate for ads! 👍
