The willow tree in the background of that photo I took over the summer is mostly gone now, thanks to Fiona. It was a beautiful tree, and now I has a sad.

Organization and cause accounts I'm not so sure about yet. I do think I'd rather follow someone who works at a nonprofit rather than the nonprofit itself.

There's already too much corporate intrusion on our social spaces. Just be a person.

For me, I'm making it a bright line rule here that I will not follow your brand account. I'm not here to be sold to.

I like Wikipedia's approach to this: shared accounts, or accounts that seem like they might be shared, are forbidden. You have to be an individual.

You can't be "ABC Inc.", but you can be "Joe at ABC Inc.", and I think that's better.

@PortobelloPirate @halcy I hadn't heard of it but that looks very interesting. Much better than my idea of buying a cheap BT keyboard and gutting it.

@halcy @PortobelloPirate I would love it if someone sold a kit so I could install a functional USB-rechargeable Bluetooth keyboard into a slab of wood I've routed out or something. Like how you can buy the machinery for a clock and mount it in whatever.

Make this thing I use daily and almost continuously into a work of art instead of a hunk of generic plastic.

@matt Ah, that's a good idea. Firehose is a very appropriate analogy, too.

By the way it turns out you can't undo a vote in a poll here, like if you click the wrong option and are too daft to realize it. Anyway, when you see the results of that poll, reduce the "this is worse" count by 1. ;)

Following up on this: if you create a filter on one system it will save to your profile, but it doesn't propagate to sessions you have open on other devices until you do a hard refresh.

@matt Even though my account is open, I get follow requests occasionally from accounts on other instances that are apparently flagged by this instance. Seems like it's automatic. Do you know anything about that? I haven't seen that before.

I'm not sure if it's the specific account or the remote instance, but I just got one from mastodon.online, if that helps.

My phone's been buzzing a lot with masto notifications today. The vibrations don't bother Nigel, but my cat Roxy heard and she's on it.

I mean literally. She woke up from her nap, jumped up on my desk, and sat down on my phone, like it's her job.

I'd upload a photo but there's a cat on my phone.

@nev instances.social has an API, but I don't know much about it. I think that's only masto instances though.

No, there's not. I guess you could type out the post you're boosting like an old-school retweet, and add a CW that way.

I also read a post yesterday about inserting CWs into existing conversations, and how there are privilege dynamics at play in outsiders imposing moderation on discussions among marginalized individuals and communities. I'm not paraphrasing it well but it made me think.

@matt I'm not sure about vertical taskbars. I was always frustrated by the vertical Unity layout in Ubuntu so I never tried on another OS. I don't see it as an option in Win11.

Setting up a keyword filter for yourself is super easy in Mastodon. Here's one I made for accounts that just can't resist bringing over birdsite content which cannot be tagged with content warnings.

@matt Upgrading to Win11? Curiosity, mostly. Also we were considering getting a Windows tablet for my partner to replace an HP laptop that never worked right, and they come with Win11 now so I kinda wanted to preview it.

Resetting yesterday was motivated by getting 12FPS in American Truck Simulator when I was getting in the 50s the day before.
