Mastodawn

I’ve decided to move servers again. I switched to Mastodon.Online in ahurry because my original server was shutting down, but I’ve learned they intend to federate with Meta, which I’m not comfortable with.
So I’m about to begin the process of automatically transferring Follows & Followers to my new account. Fingers crossed. I’ve not done this without sighted help before.
If it all goes horribly wrong, you’ll find me at: @BlindGordon.
OK, here goes …

I don’t think I’ll be wasting money on this new dishwasher. There is no debate in our house as to how to load the machine. The way I do it is the right way; everyone else is wrong.

Bosch dishwashers add PowerControl to end bad dish loading

Bosch’s Benchmark and 800 Series dishwashers feature a new PowerControl arm that can apply intensive cleaning to individual quadrants of the lower rack, controlled over Wi-Fi by the Home Connect app.

@patrickhadfield @KateCelyn @fkamiah17 @emsquared I can relate to that sketch. It’s funny because it’s so close to reality.

I’ll be off to see Mac Floyd this evening. Scotland’s best Pink Floyd tribute band. Not only do they perform accurate reproductions of floyd songs, there is always good banter with the audience. Really looking forward to this one.

Does anyone know if it is possible to copy a Youtube music video into Apple Music so I can add it to one of my Apple playlists? If it can be done, I’d need to know how to do it using a screen reader, either JAWS or Voiceover.
Thanks for any advice.
