@niclake i ought to do that. i never really settled on a go-to reader after google reader folded. whatre you using?

@randahl but what about bothsides-ism? are you really not going to even mention bothsides-ism when talking about whataboutery? typical.

@jbwharris yeah, i mean i do wish i could tote both kids around in my kei — if i eventually switch out for something else, that'll be why — but i also love spending next to nothing on gas and feeling like the star of my own anime when i'm out and about

my sister recommended me a book on cptsd, and was just able to read a good chunk of it on open library. forgot how cool their system is! (good book so far too: https://openlibrary.org/books/OL27167959M/Complex_PTSD)

it hurts so much

@jbwharris manivan? whoa

home depot parking lot. two 4x4 pickups with the same bed size. which way western man?

TBT to when the very idea of ONLY A SINGLE MAPLE LEAF on the canadian flag was a front page shocker. (found this newspaper from 1964 stuffed in our old chimney flue)

@Kilian haha… ahh. this has never been me, but i bet there’s a non-trivial amount of time the docs *are* wrong, don’t you think?

@mistersql @ZachWeinersmith tech accel combined with pervasive media outlets and polling companies who figured out that people love to click on this type of nonsense and it’s easy content to create. also very wealth-centric, as in many parts of the world, tech accel is not generational. i grew up in rural bangladesh where i had a computer, but other teens i knew didn’t even have telephones, let alone laptops!

ooo, roli is bringing back the seaboard block in july! tempted to finally lay out the bucks for one.

a selection of books i just added to my library:

shocked how wide a selection of audiobooks were just added as included with spotify premium. some i’ve been waiting for on libby for months!

but boy, the listening experience is no different than for music. no bookmarking whatsoever!

@freemo nice! i did just notice some qoto accounts (like yours) say “user does not exist” when i click through to the profile on elk.zone, so maybe it’s not entirely compatible yet. fingers crossed these other updates you’re talking about will bring back full functionality!

happy to report that since qoto.org's big instance software updates, elk.zone finally works! finally back using my favourite mastodon web client. still as nice as i remember from back when i was still on ye olde .social

thanks again for your work getting those updates done, @freemo! had a feeling it was some deprecation issue
