The wife and I have now started Silo, and in fact, we're 8 episodes into Season 1. Interesting show, but very confusing. I'm still pretty damn lost as to everything that is going on and why it's happening.
I'm considerably more lost and confused about this show than I was about Severance, which was an amazing show and I can't wait for Season 2 on January 17th.

@nprofile…dtx9 Looks interesting! Did you buy this for any specific reason, or is this a review unit sent to you? Curious what you'll be using it for exactly.

@nprofile…dtx9 It's likely best I don't make that statement here!
And let me be totally clear here, it's MC/MCU as a whole, not just Superman. The whole gang just needs to go away.

@npub1wjw…ue5t I still haven't heard back with regards to the partners program application I put in last week.
I think the site says 48 - 72 hours and you should hear back but I think it's been longer than that. Any idea when I might hear if I were approved or not?

@npub1wxf…8z6u I get notifications on both Android and iOS without problems. On Android, I use Google Play Services, so I don't know what the experience is like without Google Play Services.

After 2 - 3 weeks of trying both @npub1wjw…ue5t and @npub13d2…lvlm I have decided to fully switch to Proton going forward.
With Proton you get email, ProtonPass, Proton VPN and other stuff. You also get 500GB of storage instead of the measly little 100GB of storage that Fastmail offers. Notifications on Fastmail were also VERY VERY delayed most of the time, on both Android and iOS.

Since we're starting to see more new users come over from Twitter/X due to the shenanigans happening, I thought I'd share this post with some tips and tricks for new Mastodon users.
https://blog.allthingstech.social/tips-and-tricks-for-new-mastodon-users/
This thread will give you some tips for getting started here on Mastodon and how to make it as good of an experience as possible.

So sad to see the news of Kevin Mitnick passing away.
For those that don't know who Kevin Mitnick is, he's one of the greatest hackers from back in the 1990's.

I do have someone, #[3] who is working on a full set of graphics for the brand, so hoping to have that soon. Just needed something different than what I had.

Logo turned the other way with a different font, and spaces between the words.
#[0] mentioned text was hard to read, and I feel this is a bit easier to read with the spacing and a different font.

#[0] Thank you! I really thought I liked the curved text until I saw this.
With what #[1] stated, I now only see an octopus with the original logo, and here it looks way better, to me at least.

Here's with the logo part turned sideways and the text being straight instead of curved.

New logo and branding image for my instance, AllThingsTech.social
This is likely only temporary for a bit, as I do have someone working on complete branding. I just wanted something a bit different than what I had currently.
I'd be curious to hear anyone's thoughts on this.

Folders are a good thing. Most of the icons you see in my setup have swipe up and swipe down actions.

New to Mastodon? Please take the time to do a couple of things.
1) Change your profile picture to something personal/meaningful about you as a person.
2) Fill in your bio. Tell everyone what things you're into, what #[0] you are interested and anything else that helps us get to know you.
These things help give you an identity here that will help others know if they share the same interests as you.

Galaxy Watch 6 will have a 20% bigger battery than the Galaxy Watch 4 had.
https://9to5google.com/2023/03/17/galaxy-watch-6-battery/
I owned both the GW4 and the GW5 Pro and the battery life on the GW4 was complete trash for me personally. The battery life on the GW5 Pro was absolutely amazing.
I have since sold the GW5 Pro and should sell the GW4 as well at some point.

#[0] I have deleted this rule for now. I will think of a better way to phrase it to where it's more specific and accurate and to where it's not against something such as being gay. That is not what I want anyone to think as I want this to be a safe, happy place for anyone within the LGBQT community.

2023-03-16 21:14:11 UTC

#[0] Ah! Never thought of it that way to be honest and that's certainly a good point. Sad point, but good point.
I can certainly remove that rule as it's a hard one to be very specific about as it would be very long and drawn out.
I appreciate you bringing that up and as I've stated, this is all a learning process to me!

#[0] I totally understand that. I agree with you though at times I feel there are certain reasons that an entire instance would need to be blocked. But that's a case by case basis I believe.

#[0] Currently no other instances are blocked simply because I've only had it running for 9 days and haven't had any issues with any other instances or users reporting issues with other instances.
