@koutropoulos someone's RSS feed has come back to life! Hard to believe Blogger is still up and running, TBH.

@JohnPhilpin after trying it: it means "show all posts and replies from people you follow" not "all posts made across the system". What's confusing you is the 2nd entry doesn't use an Oxford comma, "only people I'm following" only modifies "replies" and not "show posts".

@JohnPhilpin I didn't even remember that setting. Feel like that view should be a link on the Discover page. By default I would only want my timeline to be people I follow, otherwise, what's the point of following?

@KimberlyHirsh how does one see everything? Is that publicly accessible? I’ve always wanted to see “the firehouse” because I find it difficult to find new people to follow.

@briandigital
@manton just curious, have you ever publicly shared a roadmap of where you’d like to take your service?

@cdevroe I recently picked up an M3 MacBook Air, 16/1TB and have been impressed. Maybe pick one up first, determine if it’s enough, and if not, use it as your portable option to supplement a Mac Studio?

@jayroh I don’t think you’re wrong. Otherwise, I’m not sure the choice makes sense. I’m sure one reasonably competent iOS engineer could modify the app to be iPad native in less than a week.

@jsonbecker we just finished it Sunday. It wasn’t so bad that it needed cancelling IMO. I would guess the answer to your question is “yes”.

@manton I'll be the one to represent the opposite opinion: I think private likes (visible to only the author) would help people receive encouragement to stick with this "shouting into the void" hobby.

I get that working with time zones sucks for developers. I’m here to tell you that it’s no walk in the park for designers trying to spec UI behavior in an app that schedules things that happen across time zones, either.

Sitting within eyesight of a Verizon 5G ultra wideband tower. Run an OpenSignal speed test (which the industry uses to brag about their performance) and get 150mbps. Run the Fast.com test that Netflix makes to show you your speed, 3.8mbps.

The last time Republicans won the popular vote for US Presidency was 2004 when G. W. Bush won with a 50.7% tally. Can you imagine how different this country could be if the popular vote determined the presidency?

Bike workshop concluded. Problem was a tear in the valve stem itself, so I couldn’t demonstrate how to patch the tube. Then I realized my daughter’s bike is a 27.5” and my spare was a 26”, so I couldn’t even put a permanent fix. I finished the demo with 26 stretched a little.

Going to conduct a “how to change a bike tire/tube, and patch a flat” workshop for my kids. Somehow in the 12 years since any of them have had bikes, this is the first flat tire.

I am shocked that (a) they offered him the job, (b) that he took it. This could be very exciting, although I liked Berhalter (eventually) and Klinsmann, too: Mauricio Pochettino agrees to become USMNT head coach

@gdp oh, that’s a bummer. Is this using the current iOS app (black icon) or the previous (gold) icon? That’s been a big issue this year in the community. Might be worth a post to r/Sonos for input if you’re a Reddit user. I’m curious if something is off in your TV source, or maybe Night Mode is on?

@jsonbecker I support this. It de-incentivizes me from sharing things from Amazon. (IG too, but I have uninstalled that already)
