Looks like I'm going back to Bird UI by @npub1zdf…6u9l as so many other themes for Advanced Web View are now out of date and badly broken for the new Mastodon 4.4.0 update.
I really wish we had more options for themes, but there only seem to be 2 - 3 that are regularly maintained.

Good morning #Fediverse friendos! How are you today?

2025-03-06 17:53:16 UTC

Today has already been a decently busy day, which means I'm ready for it to be over with. However, I still have 7 hours to go so it's going to be a pretty long day at this rate!

Very nice! What did you have?

2025-02-21 21:22:53 UTC

- reply

WOW! As in WOW to the the way they look on the site, but also the quality of photos. I wish I could be that good at photography.
Is that just a page on your website and is your website WordPress or something similar? I believe it's WordPress, so I'm curious if the theme does that or if it's some plugin that you use?

Absolutely! Would love to see how you do things.

No problem. If you need a link, I can share one that has some pretty shocking stuff included about him.
I too am always looking for good places to share my stuff. I'd love to have my photos on my site and maybe that's what I need to look into.

Because of the developer and how he down/bad mouths people, downs other developers, has public melt downs constantly, claims everything to be open source when it's not. Lots of information on him can be Googled and you'd be shocked to see what you find.

2025-02-21 21:03:11 UTC

I've thought about it, but I don't really have a theme that displays photos the way I'd really want them to look.

I have my own blog, but that's for writing. I don't really like to post/host images there.

2025-02-21 20:55:43 UTC

Since making the decision to leave Pixelfed a couple of weeks ago, I'm struggling to find a good place that I want to host the photos that I post each day.
I recently went over to Flickr and to be honest, I'm just not feeling it. There are quite a few issues or features that are missing that seem so basic that we should have in 2025.
I'm not sure I'm going to stick with it for the foreseeable future.
Currently testing @npub1lf5…xewk by @npub1jzr…gwg4 and really liking it. Just hoping it gets an RSS feed feature super soon so I can have EchoFeed post my photos from Vernissage to Mastodon.

That would be awesome if we had something like that.
I've done the first blogging challenge questions that came around a couple of months ago, then I created the Tech version a few weeks ago that's on my SeerOfSouls.com site and then I participated in the Music version that @npub1vmy…ql57 tagged me in to do which was super fun!

Anyone have suggestions for a FREE(or very cheap per month) photo hosting service?
I'm looking to move away from Pixelfed, which is currently where I post photos and then have them auto posted to Mastodon via EchoFeed and an RSS feed.
I'd like something simple, easily customizable without having to code. Just something I can post a photo a day so to speak and have others be able to view it, comment or whatever.
I don't need a store for the photos, as I have no intention of selling photos since I'm not some great photographer.
And no, I do NOT want to self host in any way!

Just completed Eternal Strands on PC a few minutes ago. Took me 28 hours and 27 minutes.
Super fun and very enjoyable game that I'm glad I decided to pick up and give it try after only watching a couple of minutes of Cohh streaming it the day before it was released.
I didn't 100% complete the game, and maybe that's something I'll do now that I am done with the main story.

Good thing is, I didn't use either one of those in my profile, which is what I was referring to as to which of the emoji that I used on my profile do you have an issue with.

2025-01-28 13:05:33 UTC

- reply

Which ones specifically are you referring to if you don't mind me asking?
Also, it could be a difference in languages that others speak so some emoji could mean something slightly different to each person.

I totally agree. I love that you can use certain hashtags to contribute to a feed or even multiple feeds.
It's definitely early and not many people are aware of how that works, but over time they will learn and that's what will make Surf continue to grow and be awesome.
Thank you for sharing your tech feed as well. Just added it to my home feed!

Good morning #Fediverse friends!
How are we all doing today? What's on the agenda for the day today, if anything?
For me, while yesterday was an absolutely horrible day, today is going well so far. I'm at work and will work until 8pm EST, and have no meetings.
Not much else is planned other than work, but the good news is, I'll have a 3-day weekend because Monday is MLK day.
The wife and I will head out tomorrow and do some shopping and hopefully Sunday will be a lazy day!

2025-01-16 20:04:57 UTC

Today is one of the hardest days of my entire life! I'm completely heartbroken and shattered that my wife and I had to put this precious kitty, Bess, to sleep this morning!
Bess came into my life when she was only 8 weeks old, and she would have turned 17 years old this coming September.
Bess has been a huge part of my life, has given me numerous upon numerous memories during those nearly 17 years.
Bess was hands down the sweetest, most loving, most caring, yet totally different cat than any other I've ever owned.
Bess had her own little personality like no other cat I've ever had, and I've had a LOT of cats over the years.
When she was very young and up until about 2 - 2 1/2 years ago, she was a very large kitty, weight wise. She once weighed in at almost 23 pounds. Over the last 2 - 3 years she lost a lot of weight, and in fact, she was down to 7.6 pounds this morning when we took her to the vet due to the swelling in her leg and in her throat.
I'm going to miss Bess more than anything. I'm going to miss seeing her sleeping most anywhere and everywhere. I'm going to miss her getting in a box the moment we sit it on the floor. I'm going to miss her begging for food in the kitchen, or as she likely thought she was doing, helping us cook while in the kitchen.
I'm going to miss her little "meeps", as she didn't have much of a voice due to the person who owned her when she was born, her boyfriend stepped on her throat trying to kill her and crushed her vocal chords. But she did have a little meow and a little "meep" as Bianca and I called it, and when she meeped, she got whatever it was she wanted at the time.
I'm going to miss giving her "bathtub time", as she loved to get in the bathtub, have us turn the water on for a second so she could then drink the water from the bathtub.
I'm going to miss her, totally and completely! I just hope she felt like she was given a great life and I hope she has no complaints.
She's now off to join her brother Porgie, who passed away in June 2022, and of course Pops who passed away in July of 2021. She was certainly a huge part of Pops' life as well for her first 12 - 13 years of her life. Pops loved her so much and would be heartbroken to know she's no longer with us.
Bess was having swelling in her left leg the last couple of weeks, was breathing heavier than normal over the last few months and had been diagnosed with stage 2 kidney disease back in November 2023. She wasn't in the greatest of health, but she lived a full life!
I love you Bess, Bessie Lou, Ms. Lou, Ms. Lou Poo, Bessie Lou Poo, and the likely hundreds of other names we called you throughout the years. I'm going to miss you more than you can ever imagine!

Good morning to all of you here within the #Fediverse
How are we all doing today? Anything special planned for the day or the evening?
For me, it's the usual work stuff with a meeting at 2pm EST that shouldn't be too bad. Hoping the work day goes pretty smoothly.
After work, likely just rest and relax and not much else.
