@mindofaaronw I didn’t even use extensions much but I missed a few that make my life easier on Firefox. And yeah… bookmarking is wrong on Arc
@fontwerk@typo.social This is awesome. Congratulations! Superb achievement. And I really like the website showcasing the variable features and the interactivity. 🎉
@manton feature request in MB for mac: After publishing the latest post automatically reload the timeline so the post appears.
@codepo8@toot.cafe This is astonishing. I am afraid (?) we all underestimate how fast AI is going to move forward and what will be enabled by and through it. What a curious time we are experiencing.
@vincent can't wait to see what you will create next for "us"
@jean you know what? you are absolutely right. Didn't really take the time to think this through. It's astonishing how I am able to do that in a different context (e.g. for my clients) but not for me. I'll make a proper project of it. Then at least I can make incremental progress on it.
@vincent looking forward to what you have in store for us 🤗
@vincent thank you for Gluon! I would vote against mastodon stuff.
@odd I am amazed you can bear the darkness. I spent the xmas holidays in Denmark which is not very far away from Berlin, Germany. But still, I experienced it as considerably more dark than at home. Norway must be pitch black in my ignorant imagination. I could not stand it. 😉
@odd Awesome! Where are you located?
@pratik @danielsantos glad we don’t have to follow along here on mb. I am watching the mastodon experiment with interest from a safe distance. so happy to have mb.
@herzbruch@fnordon.de @katzentratschen@mastodon.social @dieliebenessy@fnordon.de aber sowas von. als ich die fotos sah, war ich auch entzückt. ganz toll. viel freude gemeinsam!
@patrickrhone very inspiring. thank you for sharing this. haven't heard of her before.
@cheesemaker wonderful! May I ask where this was taken? 🐂
@holgerfrohloff
memories
@adoran2 Ha! Awesome. Thanks for sharing, I wasn’t aware of that. Still, I have to find that song 😅
@vincent Sounds great. I mean the app is already really good. Enjoy your holiday break! Once you get around localization, let me know. Happy to help.
@Miraz thank you for your thoughts and insight. I haven’t considered that and you made me aware. Thanks!
@gilcreque Thanks for sharing. Wasn't aware of that browser. Do they offer an iOS version as well? I really like synching my tabs between Mac and iOS.
@jean Awesome. This is one thing I really like about Micro.blog: The opportunity to talk to the people running and creating it. It's always magical when you can do that and maybe in a tiny way help make things better for everybody.
@jean Interesting! Would the emoji flag tag happen automatically, or is this something a user would have to add to their posts?
@mdalves I tried sticking to one but that feels so limiting. I decided that I wouldn't limit myself in real life from talking in English with English-speaking people. So why should I do that online? So it's simply both, depending on the context and my mood. And as @jean said, it's pretty easy to translate the non-English texts, so…
@vincent trying out your Gluon app for Micro.blog Looks very nice and might be something to keep. Video uploading isn’t supported yet, right? Are you interested in localizing it into German?
@holgerfrohloff upgrading the custom theme reaolved the issue @manton. 🥳
@holgerfrohloff this post has no content when I follow the link @manton It does appear with its body when looking at the index page though. Might be a theme plugin issue? I am not sure.
@manton Thank you I will try it eventually. Can I keep URLs of pages working/redirecting as well?
@holgerfrohloff maybe this will help book.micro.blog/migration... Eventually I will just try out the import feature and figure out the rest afterwards. Moving forward is better than standing still and waiting for too long.
@dieliebenessy@fnordon.de du fragst „Ich frage mich, ob jemals Männer von sich sagen: „Ich bin nicht in die Hotelsauna gegangen, weil schon im Restaurant diese unangenehmen Frauen waren, die laut Zoten gerissen haben.“ Wegen anderer Männer definitiv ja. Wegen Frauen bisher nicht.
@heibie@mastodon.social hübsch!
@heibie@mastodon.social und des Nachdenkens. Es gibt wirklich nichts Sinnvolles an SUVs.
@MitchW hehe put on some Christmas music. Maybe that helps 🤶
@pratik I love my Remarkable. I haven't used my Pencil on the iPad much since I have it. Also for reading epubs and pdfs it's really good.
@odd the first song from their new album sounds like straight from the 80s! I was actually at my first IronMaiden concert this year and was blown away. Awesome, I loved it. I am curious how the rest of the new album will sound.
@manton ah thank you. I guess this was a caching issue for me. I tried with a different browser and other clients and now everything is fine. ❤
@manton are you sure? @holger@microblog.holgerfrohloff.de still doesn't show anything but an error?
@holgerfrohloff even though clicking on my new mastodon-compatible username leads to a "user not found" page. Let's wait a bit. Hopefully this will clear itself up in a few hours or so.
@odd thank you!
@Christopher That looks great!
@manton tyvm. have a great weekend!
@holgerfrohloff hope I did this correctly to take part. Maybe @manton could let me know?
@Gaby you click the clicky thingy and press the dark rectangles. that’s all I am doing and it works most of the time? what else could one do?
@Jeena I still run my website as a GatsbyJS site w/o webmentions ☹️
I just wrote a response here https://holgerfrohloff.de/maintaining-custom-software and tried to let you know the URL through your form beneath your post. But the JSON response was "There is no link at the target"
Now nothing works anymore. Which is a real PITA because of quite a few MFA services that I need to migrate to a new phone, somehow. It's a process that I wanted to not do for quite some time. The phone was only 3 years old, after all 😞 3/3
It started working again rather quickly, but FaceID was deactivated the Settings.app told me. I would need to bring it in for service to have it activated again. Over night, I charged it as always. This morning I was greeted by a malfunctioning screen with nasty green lines. Unusable. 10 minutes later the phone was dead. 2/x
@SimonWoods oh wow. always good to know that the latest changes didn't break stuff. :D
@manton you're welcome!
@Gaby great photo!
@danielpunkass woah.
@jean I am sorry you had to experience this Jean. Hope you’ll recover alright.
@aaronpk just saw that you are in Berlin, so I am 👋-ing across town to you. Welcome. Hope you'll have a good time and the city treats you well.
@holgerfrohloff and why wasn't it named Darcula or Darkula?
@eay Very nice. Thank you very much. I will try to include this into my new blog software. Cool and inspiring.
@eay thanks for linking that article. I really like how cagrimmett.com/thoughts/... styles the excerpts/links to articles from other blogs. It looks so clean and usable. 🤩
@manton I do! And it's very much motivating me to improve my blog's tech to be able to participate (again). What's the best way to report typos and other irregularities?
@odd Yes I would say your words put it better than mine. I absolutely agree.
@jean I actually wanted to take part this time but I missed remembering on May 1st and only saw the first image on the eve of May 2nd. Well… maybe next time :D
@Gaby I honestly wasn’t aware this is a thing. My list isn’t as long or impressive, but YES(!) I feel u. Now what’s harder: Being young & having the time but neither money or gaming systems to enjoy the games, or having money to finally (feels so liberating) buy them. But then never playing them?!
@manton if possible, I'd like to join the bookshelves beta. that looks very valuable to me and since I want to use microblog more it can make it easier for me to do just that. :D
@Gabz 😅😂
@vincent thoughts like that often go into my Day One
@macgenie haha I am not quite sure whether I should feel sorrow for you 😂
@macgenie OMG this is cute!
@aa I would be interested in a write-up how you came to that state. Why do you use it, what are the tricks and the setups that make it suit your workflow. I am always curious about those things. 🆒
@danielpunkass That looks wonderful. I realized that you have to lower the exposure for the night-mode photos taken on iPhone. They tend to turn out too light for my taste.
@cm That'r really a good question. If you did an informal survey I bet it would get confirmed. Then again perhaps it's only in our selective perception. Maybe those articles do not generate more engagement, but since we consider those as outliers we remember their engagement more than that of other posts?
@manton Just preordered the book. Looking forward to reading it!
@michaelborland Every time I use Micro Blog, I feel like I would like to follow more people. It feels so empty compared to Twitter. But I never seem to manage to fill it up more. Then I leave again for days.
@cm I try to write an email newsletter rvery weekday. Some days I don’t manage at all and sometimes I send emails which are just messy. Quickly written, not thoughtful at all. Those usually get the most (positive) replies. 🤣 Btw. Just clicked through to your site. Really like the theme. So clean and good-looking.
@Gabz Wow that looks really cool. I love those colors.
@canion That's true. Same here for me. But I wouldn't let my kids play on the street in front of our house either. It's a smaller road but still too many careless and reckless drivers.
@walter using Dell seemed to be the best choice regarding performance, design and functionality. And it could save time as they even sell devices with Ubuntu pre-installed. Perhaps I find someone near me that sells used ones to businesses.
@walter Thanks for your comment. You are absolutely right. I tried to use Arch some time ago on Mac hardware and it wasn't fun. But I don't want to buy new hardware just for this cause. Because that doesn't make sense either, specifically not considering the environment.
@Gabz Yeah, same here. I tried to record a weekly short video and post that. But somehow I didn't get into the habit. But please to find the courage. You cannot fail. It will be fun.
@cm I am still having a hard time moving from 🍎. It feels so warm and fuzzy most of the time. My starting goal is to find more ways to use micro.blog. To replace existing things and find new use cases.
@cm my impulse was to think: ”I need to buy a new laptop, to install linux.“ But then I realized just how wrong that is. 😅 I guess Microblog is a good start in owning at least that.
Right now I am struggling with getting my styles exported/included as well. My components are there and work, but they aren't styled.
