#dropbearpooterising

@dgar oohhhhhh, ok right... silly of me really not to have divined your full intent ๐Ÿคช

this [latest] jump was not planned. as of yesterday morning i felt nicely ensconced in what i'd thought to be my happy new home.

yesterday arvo, that assumption was shattered. the admin-mod-owner DMd me & directed that i begin censoring my posts.

i was shocked & furious simultaneously, & instantly realised i could no longer be in that instance anymore, so rapidly jumped across here, which til 24 hrs ago i had intended only to be my fallback friendica, not my main one. the previous account is now closed/deleted, by me, with malice aforethought. ๐Ÿ˜ก

to save you the trouble of now rotating your emoji 90 deg, i can replace my current one with yesterday's one, so we synch again! ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿคฃ

#TIL that now in :firefoxnightly: & thus i intuit also ff-beta...

bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.โ€ฆ

Verified fixed with Firefox 150.0b1 on Windows 11, macOS 15, and Ubuntu 24 that a Split View is successfully created when using Alt/Opt + clicking a tab with a different selected tab.


the bugger-factor though is that this is a native FF function, thus atm anyway is not available in AOs #Sidebery & #TreeStyleTab -- thus if using either, one needs to also still have access to the native tabs. In :firefoxnightly: i do that via a script that moves the native horizontal tab strip to the bottom, then autohides it. Meanwhile [depending on which Profile i'm using] for general browsing i use TST or S on the LHS.

TL;DR

Is it possible to use FollowBackBot - [email protected] on Friendica instances?

BACKGROUND

hello

i have accounts on two small Friendica instances, this one & also @msdropbear42

being small, they both have, to be blunt, really lousy hashtag-fetching behaviour from the wider fediverse. given i follow a lot of tags [these are as important or maybe even more so, than simply following only personal accounts, for me], this ongoing lousiness poses a real threat for my two accounts having any prospect of being serious daily fediverse "homes" for me, given both instances miss out on a large proportion of posts / tags that i routinely see each day in my Masto & Sharkey accounts.

I have tried using relay.fedi.buzz follows, eg [email protected] on another of my friendica accounts, but tbh it's a PITA coz i cannot simply do it myself, but instead must explicitly request the instance owner to manually add them at the server level via terminal. that kills all spontaneity for me.

recently i became aware of FollowBackBot - [email protected] [read the whole thread if you want all the background; https://friendica.au/display/7c8d90bc-252d65d8d081ff63-cb0df0a1], but in none of my friendica accounts am i able to actually follow it. eg, in this current account, the pic below shows the failure:

can anyone pls help me solve this?

'sposed to get to 26 today, currently 22

tis tolerably pleasant atm in sunroom

still unpleasantly chilly in study

but proper pooter is in study, whilst merely lappy is in sunroom

so now i'm stuck doing little lappy things, when i wanna be doing big pooter things

but i dislike shivering

someone should blow up seasons

#dropbearpooterising

i spend most of my time on my proppa pooter, the tower in my Study. however in colder weather when the Study [SE corner of house, with trees that block direct morning sun] is too chilly til arvos, i use lappy in Sunroom [NE corner of house, big windows E & N, so quite glorious for those morning rays in winter]. but lappy, poor ol' girl, is a 2011 dell xps-15 with semi-dodgy keyboard [green tea incident yonks back, alas] & most unambiguous "battery issues". tis just sad to watch the battery gauge actually begin dropping from the moment i unplug. these days she just squeaks thru to the hour mark. poor dear, she's old n tired.

in unrelated news, geez those fools who anthropomorphise inanimate objects are wollybutts, eh! ๐Ÿคช๏ธ

#dropbearpooterising #LinuxWomen

i do exasperate myself sometimes with my changing sensibilities wrt my preferred  #font. i keep toggling twixt #RobotoCondensed, and #NimbusSansNarrow . For the past several weeks i'd set it to the latter, but after a few [or several?] days of dissatisfaction with it, i've now toggled back to the former... yet again. based on history it seems inevitable that in another coupla months i'll likely jump back again.

otoh in #Plasma itself, i do seem reasonably settled with #NotoSansExtraCondensed -- this seems generally to survive much longer before i feel the urge to change it, compared to in my browser.

damn dopey dropbear! ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

@scottwilson peeps seem to whinge about this a lot, yet my  , my daily default browser for many many years, the alpha & thus notionally unstable fox, has never done this to me. never.

i read so many fedi & subreddit whines & whinges about such & such faults, bugs, misbehaviours et al perpetrated by this apparently miserably bad browser, all the while continuing to have a lovely online time here in my Nightly, & i just shrug & wonder how so many peeps can be so... unlucky ๐Ÿคจ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ
