Deposits will not be refunded. npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh Given that group chats/texts are so popular, why aren't private mastodon servers more of a thing? npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh @nprofile…lel8 give them their own server that they can invite friends to npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh @nprofile…mket that's so cool! the flavor win of letting all these cards be one piece of art is outstanding. npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh @nprofile…lel8 moby has made some real tattoo choices npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh @nprofile…lel8 Still better than wordpress tho npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh I wasn’t sure if it was all smoke or if it was actually cloudy as well, but then I saw the sun. Usually you can see the skyline from here. #smoke npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh @nprofile…zejv this is a tangent if you'll forgive, but: would it be useful to have a short link service solely dedicated to instructional content? Like (fake dream URL as example) how.to/remove-ai npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh I wanted to made a cake yesterday and i didn't have enough eggs or vanilla or butter or time. And I didn't cream the sugar and butter, and the peaches were overripe. And you know what? npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh @nprofile…lel8 No, i meant the font — isn't that your Sikscreen? npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh @nprofile…nqtn just spotted this in a youtube video — this is Silkscreen, no? npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh Hey gen-x, if you haven't revisited the Cocteau Twins it's time. npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh Just realized that all the work we did 10 years ago with HTML5 making the web "semantic" has been a blessing for AI scrapers and LLMs' understanding of web content. That's who we were doing it for. npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh @nprofile…lel8 it’s not offensively bad I guess, but I didn’t like much, and Leto just makes the whole thing taste bad. npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh The new tron movie really is a bunch of sad bullshit npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh i only wear gas station sunglasses npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh My mildest hot take is that The Dark Crystal is 50x better than Labrynth. npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh holy shit i just googled next year’s design and for god's sake get on it now npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh A muscle car with an insanely loud exhaust just screeched down my block totally blasting the neighborhood with Evanescence's Bring me to Life. npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh @nprofile…plsf I said almost 😆 npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh Cooked blueberries are almost always a disappointment. npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh I just got an Instagram recommendation to follow Trump, and the module shows he’s already being followed by a couple of other people I know, people who would never ever ever knowingly follow him. Super sketchy. npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh @nprofile…y2ut ah, of course, good point. npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh @nprofile…y2ut I knew it happened re: links from google results forever ago, but I didn't realize the browsers had enabled it to this degree. Yuck. npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh @nprofile…y2ut I use Plausible, it does get granular, but I don't see a ton of detailed referral data. Do a lot of sites turn off detailed referrals somehow? Would make sense for web apps and JS-driven sites that don't have referrers configured correctly. npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh The China tariffs still fuck over a large number of US businesses. npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh This actually made me sit back and take a deep breath npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh We're legitimately approaching Library of Alexandria levels of destruction npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh Is there a fediverse account to follow for protests in the NYC area? npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh @nprofile…args Didn't that neon tunnel in O’Hare originally have ambient Phillip Glass music playing in it? I think now it’s Gershwin, but it used to be abstract, tinkly, glass-like and very relaxing. npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh can we just all standardize on yyyy-mm-dd please and thank you npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh @nprofile…302z holy shit I always thought a "leftenant" was just a rank we don't have in the US npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh YouTube engagement in 1947 npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh “How did we get here!?" npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh @nprofile…79ya is it possible to present these author photos differently? they look like editorial content, in this case it looks like the photo is showing the victim of a crime npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh “Mute for 1 day" is your friend today if your doomscrolling is being overwhelmed by your mutuals’ doomposting. npub12l83tgza8xfm9da69k7zrx2mt9t4u53y263zj64nj06qhk0spk8qvlzvpy Tim Murtaugh @npub1v52…qu8a I remember back n the day people used to use pringles cans as transmission extenders for medium distances :)
