Statuses

It depends on your library I guess, but Kanopy has so much great stuff on it that you could probably get away with it being your only streaming service.

Are there any good cheap boxes for long-term vinyl storage someone can recommend?

When quote-posts become baked into #Mastodon and available via the API, I hope clients stop fetching quoted posts on their own.

Part of Mastodon’s implementation will be the ability for people to prevent quote-posting of their content, and to “withdraw” their posts from anywhere they were quoted.

“Faking” quote-posts by merely fetching the post object from within the client will not respect these preferences and intentions of the quoted user.

A while ago, I think it was on here that I saw it, someone posted some black-and-white profile picture/avatar illustrations they were commissioning. Does anybody remember who that was? They were kind of like “Notion-style” black outline drawings on white.

Robert Eggers is doing a Labyrinth sequel??? https://deadline.com/2025/01/robert-eggers-labyrinth-sequel-sony-1236265010/

I have an idea for getting rid of the camera bump:

Make it the entire back of the phone.

Has anybody talked about the possibility that it’s easier to get trapped in a cycle of checking things on your phone because the screen is so small?

On a large desktop monitor it’s easier to feel like you’ve seen everything and it’s all taken care of. Nearly everything important can be visible at once. “Yep, there’s my mail, there’s my social media, there’s the project I’ve been working on. That’s it!”

Let me try out this analogy on you:

A font is to a typeface as a CD is to an album.

If someone said “Oh, I love this CD!”, they might then say, “Well, I guess what I mean is that I love the *album*; the CD is just how we’re listening to it.”

I keep seeing Content about the SNL 50th anniversary show and at this point it always makes me go “you mean it hasn’t happened by now?”

What is a “safdie brother,” and how do I know if that’s what I found in my yard

Mastodon should allow filters to be applied to trending news, too.

Grouped notifications in Ivory TestFlight!!

Has any artist/photographer tried re-creating AI images, like, “in-camera”?

Put heavy make-up on someone, dress them in a shirt that just looks cut a little wrong, prosthetically mold a false sixth finger onto their wrist, use a tiny depth of field…

Nobody has ever felt as invincible as Trump does right now.

Multiple-choice polls on Mastodon shouldn’t give results as percentages of all checkmarks, with all options adding up to 100%; it should give results as the percentage of respondents who checked each option.

So if there is a poll between A and B; half the respondents pick both; and the other half pick only B; the results should be A: 100%, B: 50%.

When I was young, the commercials were the only thing I liked about the Super Bowl. Now they may be the thing I like the least.

Holy shit somebody did it — they made a Flying Toasters screensaver clone that works on modern #macOS: https://github.com/robertventurini/FlyingToasters
