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.

May your turkey be juicy and your yams be candied to perfection. And take some time to rest between courses. 🦃

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.

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

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?

Last #SpoutibleExperiment tonight! I'm marking this post again as "Only people I mention can reply", then I will quickly make an edit. Does the edit lose the permissions role assigned to the post? Edited! Can you reply to the post?

I never thought that the first place I would use a #PassKey for #authentication would be a site called omg.lol but here we are.

And it works well!

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.

See my post for a handy reference and more detail.

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, 👀.

#Spoutible should have hidden the bot sentinel percentages and just left a green, yellow or red dot.

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! 👍
