Those are cool, never seen or heard of them before in my part of the US. We use reusable kcups, so we put a filter and grounds in mesh/plastic shell. We like them because we can choose single servings of anything, like our local beans or herbal stuff like teeccino. But yeah Senseo pads look pretty great.

Ooo I didn't know about muting boosts, thanks! It'll do for now.

And yeah I forget that the Fediverse still has many kinks with connections, great point. Even for your comment, it doesn't appear when I go to my post, only when I go to notifications. And trying to respond on the Memmy app repeatedly crashes, so I had to respond through browser instead.

From their mastodon:

so my goal with sup. is to make a federated snapchat/whatsapp that is compatible with most platforms. This was originally going to be a Pixelfed specific Messenger-like app, but then it hit me - this is a perfect opportunity to create a sub project that could be eventually handed over to a trusted org.

Seems like a fine ambition but Pixelfed is still in beta and buggy as hell. I’d like to see that improve (so that more people will want to use it) first.

Good to hear! The Obsidian plugin has worked great for me so far. It really simplifies note taking.

Why is Pocket discontinuing Pocket for Mac?

We are creating a more consistent user experience across mobile and web, making it easier for you to discover, save and access your content on any device, at any time.

Incredible explanation. Btw, Omnivore is a great open source alternative with a macOS app for anyone needing to migrate somewhere.

Lame answer but YouTube. Channels in the vein of freecodecamp.org and Stanford Online are incredible. Any skill, hobby, repair, or question I can think of probably has videos there.

> Meta using the term ‘open source’ for this is positively misleading: There is no source to be seen, the training data is entirely undocumented, and beyond the glossy charts the technical documentation is really rather poor. We do not know why Meta is so intent on getting everyone into this model, but the history of this company’s choices does not inspire confidence. Users beware.

Well put.

Wow I haven’t been on the site for a while and those 3 icons next to his name look so dumb. Anyone want to explain what they mean?

It was the go-to app to use where I was 2 months ago in Ireland. I thought “Wow, what a terrible name”, and expected the app to be much worse than it was.

Was gonna say this too, it’s a great one for fact-checking. Sometimes it won’t include a source and make something up, just watch out for those.
