Hey quick Q re. #Pixelfed

I tried to sign in with an account on mstdn.social but it didn’t import my follows. And I didn’t see any way to force a re-import of my follows.

So then I deleted that account thinking I could just re-do the login with that same account.

But every time I try to login, I get this error, attached. Any ideas?

FYI:

The interface is hideous and completely un-mac-like. No Dark mode. The dock icon is old-timey round, disproportionately large, and un-hideable; and the menubar icon is bright red without a grayscale option. 🤮

Did #Apple deprecate the UPS status in #menubar feature at some point? I can't find anything like it in Sequioa. Still available via a terminal command?

I'm using a #cyberpower #UPS and their software is TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE. Godalmighty TERRIBLE.

Please, someone tell me there is a better option for usb directly-connected UPSs???

( I did find a pretty good looking app in the Mac App Store (!) but only for network connected UPSs.)

Since updating my #Mac #Studio to #Sequoia my #TimeMachine backups have been failing when lock the screen. Every time I wake up the display, I get the same error: "Time Machine did not finish backing up because some files were unavailable. Backups will resume when your Mac is unlocked." My Mac actually never sleeps; I only put the display to sleep/lock. The next backup after waking/unlocking the display always works.

Anyone out there have info / advice? It’s very frustrating.

Quick question… I just cloned my boot drive (Demeter) to its own partition (Persephone). I would like to change the desktop icon, but it won't let me; it just dings when I try to do the typical copy-paste… In fact, the 'paste' is grayed out completely? What am I doing wrong here?

@overcastfm

And one more request for consideration…

In the episode list, I love the one tap to play. I love that I can swipe left to delete. I would love to be able to swipe right to get episode info (instead of the star, which I don’t even know what that does).

@dnanian

Long time user of SuperDuper. 👍 Quick question…

I have a boot volume that is using 1.4 of 2 tb, including purgeable space.

The destination is one of two volumes on a large APFS disk.

When i make a smart copy, disk utility reports that its using 1.7 tb on that destination volume.

I’ve used DaisyDisk to compare, and I don't see any discrepancies that would explain a ~300 gb delta.

Any idea what’s going on…?

This is setting up to be a **very** good, and **very** expensive year for me for #LEGO.

Lots of excellent Star Wars and F1 / racing releases.

Not sure if I’m going to get all of these, but a fair number at the least?

#UCS tie fighter and the UCS x-wing from last year? UCS sail barge? UCS Mercedes F1?!

Well played, LEGO, well played indeed.

Some requests, with love ❤️

Can I pls remove these tiles at the top? Wasted space!

Can I use posters instead of screen caps? Only very rarely are they recognizable from the show.

Is it possible to sort the watchlist by most recently watched, and/or number of episodes remaining? I don’t get the episode released option at all…

And finally, I’d love to be able to tick off the next episode without having to go ‘into’ the show screen at all — So many extra unnecessary taps…

It’s good to be the queen. #hounddog #houndsofmastodon
