Mastodawn

@zl2tod @_elena Thank you much for very useful tip!I had many tabs indeed because I need them to keep a list of people from my "Notifications" who followed me to examine their profiles whether I want to follow back.

Why doesn't the error message say "Mastodon doesn't support tabs, close tabs"?And why does the message deliberately prevent typing?This way I don't know what to do to get rid of the message.

Also, how am I supposed to keep a list of people from my Notifications who followed me to examine their profiles whether I want to follow back?Just hovering over each of them takes about 10 seconds to display whether they follow me or not, which is a huge waste of time.

Have Mastodon authors actually tried to use Mastodon?I guess not.Did Mastodon do UX testing?

Completely unrelated story, my daughter was asking me a question via text the other day and I told here "that's a PITA" and she said "what? the Mediterranean bread?!?!"

Me: "uhh, no."

PITA = PAIN IN THE A**

Testing self hosting an email server, and while the initial HA proxy setup was aggravating it doesn't compare to discovering my internet provider requires I switch to a business plan or I have to use a non-standard port to link to something like Brevo, or set up an SMTP server in a VPS service like Linode.

I’m not sure, but it looks like I’m tired of this Sonos shit: everything is up to date, but it is always something that “needs attention” or “not connected”. I want my dumb old school wired speakers back so I could listen to some music. #sonos #fail #pita #apps #smartshit

I have passed this place hundreds of times and never noticed this misspelling. I haven't got anything there in recent years, though, too.
They were the first place in the ‘hood where you could get them, it’s beef, it’s not a gyro I don’t think; now there are four places. The outside signage (and misspelling) is newer.

Chickpeas could become the first food grown on the Moon

Scientists have grown chickpeas in simulated moon soil, offering a promising step toward farming on the lunar surface. Researchers mixed moon-like regolith with worm-produced compost and helpful fungi that protect plants from toxic metals. The combination allowed chickpeas to grow and produce a harvest in soil that normally cannot support plant life. Scientists now need to confirm the crops are safe and nutritious for astronauts.

The workarounds are a big #PitA. You have to basically create the final order outside of a grid area and then add the content to the area. So, if you want to change something, you’ll have to build the are from scratch.

This seems to be known but was declared #worksAsDesigned.
