@SimonWoods On replies on the web but not on the original post and in none of the apps.

@SimonWoods Yes, but you need a blog here to do so.

I wrote a post about how I'm having some difficulty deciding what my next computer should be. Feedback welcome.

Also, a discussion on Micro.blog: https://micro.blog/cdevroe/44886328

@SimonWoods I went to the website to find it and I wasn't able!

@manton I do not see the Conversation link even if there are replies. Where should I be looking?

@iChris Also, it looks like you have a nice computer there that should last you until at least 2028.

@manton Sorry, I can't find a better thread to put this in. I know we've discussed this in the past... is there a plan to add a link to get to the beginning of a conversation? It is still next to impossible to link to a conversation on Micro.blog if someone uses their own domain name.

@briandigital If I only get a portable, I think I'll need a Pro rather than an Air. But, if I got a Mac Studio, I think I would only need an Air for travel. Mostly because of ports I'd think.

@iChris And I would think an M-series Air can be found pretty inexpensively.

@pfefferle I have a question re: the ActivityPub plugin that I don't see a clear answer for in the documentation. If I federate my author profile from my own personal domain, can I move my followers to that account from this one? And, can I still use Ivory?

@SimonWoods It is so fun! And clear!

@siracusa You've likely mentioned this many times, so forgive me, but “Increase Contrast" on macOS creates a rather enjoyable experience. There are a few areas where the OS or an app doesn't handle it well. It is nice to see borders! Active states! Buttons!

hat tip to @johnnydecimal for mentioning it.

I’m drafting a post about my next computing setup in hopes that it helps clarify my own thinking and true needs. In short, I’m having trouble deciding when to upgrade, what to purchase, and how much to spend. Hopefully it becomes more clear before the year ends.

@jthingelstad Yeah, I knew immediately when I saw it was nearby somewhere I was headed that I had to stop by and get a few quick snaps.

The mirrored tomb of architect Hugh Newell Jacobsen near Delaplane, Virginia. I exposed a few frames of film here as well but I likely won’t develop the rolls for a bit so I thought I’d share this one. Shot on iPhone 12 Pro Max using Halide’s Process Zero (which I’m loving).

I purchased Nick Carver’s 3 Nights in Arizona. Typical Nick on location video. I like it. The Vimeo player? Not so much.

Wait, will there not be an M4 Mac Studio this fall? I was hoping to pick one up before the end of the year.

At a yard sale. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

I’m very happy to report that we’ve done exactly this… the interesting people are here on the fediverse.

Keep being interesting! Thanks!

I have been really putting my computer through a lot over the last year or so. Multithreaded processes that I’ve handbuilt, encoding video, running LLMs locally. My Mac is starting to shut off fairly regularly right in the middle of a task. When is Apple going to announce the M4?!

I totally forgot that @snarfed.org's Bridgy Fed has been quietly (and reliably) syndicating my Mastodon posts to Bluesky at https://bsky.app/profile/cdevroe.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy

So, if you're on there (or, anything that uses the AT Protocol presumably?) you can follow my posts there.

Kudos to the Waveform team for doing a 1-hour episode on the fediverse. And for providing links!

TIL In the #WordPress editor, if you have a URL on your clipboard, you can highlight text and type CMD+V and it will make a link. I've used this in Slack, but in WP I always used CMD+K+V. Also works in Help Scout and I'm sure other places.

@ivory even closing the app and reopening it doesn't force a readjustment.

@ivory Can you add a “Scroll to Previous Read Position” option to the Mac app?

Here is what I think is happening (my fault). I open the Mac app and accidentally scroll the timeline just slightly prior to Ivory downloading the toots in the feed and adjusting the position. But, by then, I'm RUINED!

Thanks to Eliza, I now own a Barbour jacket. I’ve wanted one for as long as I can remember. 😊

@sdw Loving Process Zero! Is there a way to do JPG only?

@maique I’m always behind. But I do read every word.

@ChrisJWilson yeah. I think I’ll empty my cart before I accidentally hit the wrong button. 😂

@vincent Interesting. I always assumed that on most sites this was a simple cookie saving setting.

@vincent yes, why? Does that matter?

@Changeling I use it daily. Have for over a decade. But it can be much better.

@chrisaldrich wow, what a beautiful collection!

@SimonWoods Hmmm, I'm not sure I know what you're referring to?

@aeryn @pratik I believe one of the toots I faved was causing the error, and I'm unsure which one because I had zero time to look into it. But, the page works right now! cdevroe.com/favorite-...

@skoobz when will then be now?

@jeroensangers true

@artkavanagh What’s Instagram? 😆

@iChris 👌🙏

@KimberlyHirsh Worth the effort, I say.

@mandaris you’re welcome

@SimonWoods and now I do too
