Partially blind guy here with an #a11y PSA:
I'm seing a trend away from "Text Size" sliders or old fashioned font dialogs and towards a few set choices "Default", "Large","Larger", etc.
This is a HUGE step backwards. Your 'larger' is *never* large enough for my crazy busted eyeballs when I'm using my 34" monitor.
If you must do this, please be sure to add "Largest" and even "ZOMG ARE YOU SERIOUS LARGE" options. Some of us REALLY need them, even if it seems insane to you.

This one cuts deep:
The modern condition is mostly trying to do things on your own that people have historically achieved with a large support network and wondering why you're tired all the time.

I once found a blackbird nest made of swarf (metal shavings) but this is next-level from #Corvidae
Crows and magpies using anti-bird spikes to build nests, researchers find

study finds no videogames exist anymore
if you think you've played a videogame in the last month you may have been affected by the psychic wipe known as the liberation
if you can read this message, there may yet be hope for you
all you need to do is stop playing and realize your computer was turned off all along
Reading a fantasy book about dragons and I have hot takes. Dragon girls are advanced horse girls. ACAB includes dragon riders. 🐉 /j
Got a new mini keyboard. It has physical scroll wheels which is great, but sadly the trackpad has trouble with dragging motions.
Also it seems the left click button is inserting an open bracket and newline instead 🙃
Gonna try finding another one with a physical scroll wheel too see how that goes.
Girlbossing so close to the sun I end up passing right through
One of these days I'll work on something straightforward where I draw within the lines and don't need to constantly fight the status quo. 😭
Looks like it doesn't handle schemaless URLs either. :P e.g. `//staticpub.mauve.moe/about.jsonld`.
I'll need to use absolute HTTPS URLs while we figure out how to get the relative URLs into the stack. Might need to publish both side by side.
Dang, looks like #Mastodon doesn't handle relative URIs when parsing #ActivityPub / #ActivityStreams data.
For example I can't set the `id` of a post to be a relative URL since it loads it as raw JSON.
This makes it harder to publish static data to #p2p
Very excited by the work The Thought Emporium folks are doing on making meat do interesting things.
Life seems like a great medium to replace silicon in the future.
Dang pretty frustrating that #Mastodon doesn't attempt to load a users's post from their ActivityPub data when you load their profile for the first time. This leads to profiles being empty until you follow them, and even then you just get any new posts.
Seems to have been an issue people have wanted addressed since 2016. 😬
Hey folks! Check out this post by Lindsay Walker on how you can host your blog on #P2P protocols using #DistributedPress and view it in #Brave or #Agregore

I'm SUPER excited to announce the launch of Rad Reader! 🤩
A calm tool (OSX, Linux & Windows; 6MB & Electron-free!) for reading and following RSS feeds. I've been working on this for the past months during spare time and it's my first journey in making something polished enough to sell!
To celebrate its launch the price is reduced to 4.95 USD (34% off) for the rest of the week! If that feels like a lot, please try the free demo!!
Boosts very much appreciated!

Lol, my friends have taken to teasing my by threatening to join Threads and avoid any other fediverse platform I've tried to shill to them. :P
At least I know one of them has my toots in their RSS so they can see me passive agressively subtoot about it. 😈
It's pretty effective at dealing my psychic damage though, NGL.
Dang I think I'd really like to be able to follow hashtags though
well, I updated sit on with the patch for the recent vulnerability but I was they'll too lazy to upgrade to the new major release 😛
