Oh, so there’s six.

I spent about 20 minutes today trying to get Copilot on Word to tell me how to disable Copilot on Word. Worth every penny.

I also find USB to be limiting when it comes to range. I can go about 50 feet with a nice thick HDMI with copper wiring, but any further than 20 feet on USB necessitates fiber optics. Not an issue for everyone, but something I have been running into.

I’m actually building an app for this right now. It’s in early development, but I’m quite serious about it and it’s for exactly the purpose you’re describing - casual non-dating text chats. When it’s released, I’ll come find you.

I’m glad you’ve broken that dating barrier as well! It certainly is difficult to invite people in when life is cluttered, and I can imagine the added complication of the clutter not being your own made things especially tricky. I’m personally on the opposite end of the cannabis spectrum at the moment - I used it for many years, mainly to break down my emotions and get at the root causes of my anxieties. I’m at the point now where I’ve done a lot of self improvement, but the cannabis has become more of a hindrance. I was dependent on it and definitely seeing some side effects from long term usage. I think it did serve a purpose, but it’s become time for me to stop using it as a crutch. Just a minor heads up to use with moderation if possible. I’m happy you’ve found someone though, and that your life is heading in a good direction. Wishing you all kinds of success in your relationship and life!

Well, the best thing that happened to me was meeting my girlfriend. Just happened a month ago, but we already feel like we’re going to spend the rest of our lives together and this is after me not dating at all for almost fifteen years.

So, the second best thing has to be several months ago when my family caught on to the fact that I was depressed and overwhelmed with clutter from stuff I was hoarding because I felt too guilty about throwing things away. They helped me sort through it all so it wasn’t so overwhelming. My living space is nice and tidy now and that’s what allowed me the confidence to go meet a partner who is perfect for me in almost every way.

This is worryingly similar to how toddlers react when I try to teach them how to tie their shoes

My cat just watched this. I think he was confused, but he had a good time.

Hell, I might be a CFO now and I’ve failed to notice! Hold on, let me check… No… No, I’ve just managed to burn a microwave dinner again.

Get out. No, don’t get your coat. Just go.

Freeze! This is a stick up.

These are the worst puns I’ve ever seen, bar none.

But it is! I put my keys right here a few hundred years ago and now I can’t find them! I’ve looked in a 30.5 inch radius, so I’m pretty sure they’re gone for good.

I know that’s what the comic is referencing, but I prefer to imagine they’re giving him the Henry treatment

Yeah, I’m not sure if we’re talking about the same thing. What I’m looking for:

I make a Mastodon account

I make a Bluesky account

I connect them via the bridge

I post on one account, the same content is posted on both accounts

If someone replies to my post on Mastodon (which all Mastodon users can see), I can reply using my Mastodon account

If someone replies to my post on Bluesky (which all Bluesky users can see even if they have not opted into using the bridge), I can reply using my Bluesky account

From what you’re describing, it doesn’t sound like the bridge can facilitate this.

I’ve never been on Twitter/X, Bluesky, or Mastodon. But maybe I’d like to try.

So far I can’t decide because I prefer Activity Pub in principle, but always felt FOMO with Twitter and don’t want the same thing to happen with Bluesky.

I think the best of both worlds would be if I could make an account on both and have one account essentially repost anything from the main account, unless I’m replying to someone specifically where it wouldn’t make sense to reply on both accounts.

Not sure if this bridge is a step in that direction, but it’s far more important to me that everyone can see what I post on both sides than it is that people from both sides can reach me on a singular account. Not sure if others feel the same way.

690 years since the XT line began. If they started at AA-00, we’re looking at 1,851,690 years.

River otters mostly. They have a vested interest in maximizing the amount of time humans spend indoors playing games. Funding-wise, they don’t have a many clams but they’re generous with the smooth rocks from their armpit pouches. They really aren’t shellfish.

Game progression analyst, they 100% new video games and record how long it took them to complete each task.

I’m supportive of your general vibe. But respectfully, being inclusive of your own needs does not require being exclusive of the needs of others. We all share the same world, so maybe we can be understanding of everyone’s desire for comfort without judging them based on how they were born.
