Mobile-addicted. Web-dependent. Digital Plumber. Nerd. He/him. No-coiner.
Accidentally logged into both calckey.social and firefish.social simultaneously. I don't think I've been migrated yet (auto migrations are staggered to prevent totally slamming the fediverse) because my home feed on the new server is still empty, but the post I made there got a reply from someone who has been migrated. Sorry if I broke everything. 🤷
Do zoos have like… societal breakdown protocols? Like, in the event of societal breakdown that has the potential to prevent receipt of animal food or timely visits from keepers, is there a scenario where some/all animals get released? 🤔
Joke headline sites (other than The Onion) are predominantly hit-or-miss for me, and sites like HardTimes are almost always a miss. But every now and again they hit one out of the park, and to me, this one also had bases loaded.

@nyquildotorg did elon get one of those NFT people to make him this?
I'm choosing to interpret this glitched out banner image, with peeling paint and screams of "what's happening?!" as Twitter itself screaming in agony.
A while back I encountered a service that lets you put in a Twitter username to get an activitypub mirror of that person's Twitter feed to which you can subscribe from the fediverse. But searching for it now is not turning it up again. Do you know the service I mean? If I remember correctly, the bio of accounts say that they are "read only mirrors," and that the author will not see replies to it.
I feel like maybe I ought to be entitled to something for screaming "just let me do my job!" literally every day for the last 5 years while having to use Basecamp.
The passing of Sinéad O’Connor has once again reminded me how gross it is to mention another artist in the obituary of a beloved entertainer.

Yes, Prince wrote Nothing Compares 2 U. Does it belong in an obituary for anyone other than Prince? No.
Once again writing on my blackboard in white chalk:

I will not launch a company that adds missing functionality to Basecamp and undercuts all the other companies doing that.

I will not launch a company that adds missing functionality to Basecamp and undercuts all the other companies doing that.

I will not launch a company that adds missing functionality to Basecamp and undercuts all the other companies doing that.
I bitch a lot about Basecamp, but I just decided to "make a recurring task" and discovered that it's just not possible. But, helpfully, multiple (paid) 3rd party options exist to automate the creation of recurring tasks, by just updating the existing tasks on a schedule.

How does anyone use this shit
without bitching about it all the time?
