Today I learned, if you accidentally delete your Mastodon account, it will send out delete notifications to everyone who follows you so that they stop following you. Reinstating your account is not enough. Would appreciate a boost - I don't want to tag everyone who was previously following me. That feels very rude.

@etp@indieweb.social @gubi@sociale.network @neatnik@social.lol who is it that consistently behaves like an idiot? I feel like we definitely have a word for that. Why are we expending so much energy to not upset these muppets when they have absolutely no self awareness? I'm so tired.

@cabel how is it that we ended up in a generation that has to solve this problem for our parents AND our children?! What a cruel twist of fate.

I haven't been out on my bike in so long. Let me tell you; going out drinking, then trying to cycle 65km is not how you get back into it. I feel so old.

@philgyford@mastodon.social it took a while, but I eventually got used to DuckDuckGo’s idiosyncrasies, and now going back to Google is horrible. I want to support Kagi because I love their whole ethos but I just need some things to be free 😭

@hairylarry haha! I have to occasionally remember that I do it for myself so stats don't matter; can be a bit demotivating. But I can mostly see the amusing side!

Everything Apple ever tries to do "smart” is just awful. Apparently a missed call, that is obvious spam because it got screened and they didn't leave a message, is a “priority notification”. Useless feature. Turned off.

@philgyford oh good, I love it when people responsible for this stuff know what they're talking about. Aside from the fact that you can implement infinite scroll in React, what the hell does React fundamentally have to do with infinite scroll?! Why can I feel a React law, similar to the complete nonsense that is cookies, on the horizon?

@philgyford my site builds statically every post based off a CMS backend (Craft). Images are currently in Cloudflare R2 but could also be static. What's your site built in?

I hope that doesn't come across as ungrateful; it's not meant to. A blog like mine having 17 newsletter subscribers is unbelievable really. Some nobody who posts photos and shares links shouldn't expect to have 50k subscribers, and I don’t. I just find it funny that I obviously don't fit their expectations for subscriber activity at all.

Remember that Pride ad that was doing the rounds a while ago? I think it was for a Scandinavian country but I don't remember which. The message from that video has really sat with me and I like the idea that a small gesture could put a stranger/potential friend so at ease. Does anyone know of somewhere I could get a Pride ally friendship-style bracelet that also supports a charity, rather than just some opportunistic etsy corpo?

@philgyford@mastodon.social definitely agree with that. I stress a lot about money, and I like to keep my repeated financial commitments to the absolute minimum. Absolutely unhinged requirement to have in 2026, but I do my best.

If Lebron is going to be at the Sixers I might actually have to follow the NBA next season. His justification boiling down to "I want to work hard" is unreal. There's no way they don't have a crazy season.

I like this idea for a social network a lot. I don't really see people enough in real life to actually make use of it, but it's not through a lack of interest. Most of my friends just happen to live far away.
