@npub1y9z…3ykm What in the fucking fuck is this... It's satire right?

I've been giving Bluesky a try for a board game project of ours. It's ok, I guess 😕
Feels weird to have such a short character count again. It also lacks an edit button, a way to pin posts, or a quick way to pull up emoji?
Feeling much more comfortable here on Mastodon.
I'll keep it going for now though, the board game folks are rather lively over there.
Not sure if I'll use it on a personal account 🤔 It's just more upkeep.

Getting a weird vibe from some Discord communities.
(Not you Frontend Horse 💚, or any of the dev ones I've joined really)
I suppose it's to be expected in some way? With folks that have been their longer.
But damn if some don't feel a bit cliquey and cagey to new folks. Especially fun when it's supposed to be an open and welcoming community to all.

Anyone have a recommendation for a Keyboard/Mouse combo-thing for use in a TV streaming box setup? (Linux OS)
I did get a Logitech K400 to try but honestly the build quality was a bit shit? The trackpad feels bad, and it doesn't even have a way to be plugged in... so I had a pain of a time trying to pair the bluetooth.
It didn't help I accidentally got the Spanish keyboard layout 🙃
Small, kb + mouse, backlight would be a plus.

Still thinking about the porridge I made this morning. It was so so good! 😭
I experimented leaving the oats soaking over night - so when cooked up this morning it became so sooooo creamy.
- 1 cup Oats
- 1.5 cup Soy Vanilla Milk
- .5 cup Oat Milk (Soak them oats in oats)
- Pinch of salt
- Handful of golden raisins
We have ours with a spoon of peanut butter in the bowl, but another fav is crushed walnuts, goji berry, and cinnamon.
I'll forever be soaking them overnight from now on! 🥣

I've been discovering far too many nice looking board games and solo TTRPG's over on Kickstarter 👀💸
but then I reach the part where they disclose they're using AI for the art (and sometimes writing) so I go right ahead and close that tab.
It's getting more difficult and of course folks can easily lie - but I'm going to try my best to only support human artists.

Are there any simple, managed-hosting solutions for #PixelFed out there (or being worked on)
🤔 👀

Thanks so much! I just got it working 🤯 I'm actually amazed how effortless it was to get it going.
I just hooked up my GitHub repo, next thing I know I can edit, add, or even delete blog posts from any of the categories I had predefined. I can even modify the .json defining these categories.
Just gave the 'editable' class a spin too - This is brilliant! I can't wait to offer this to clients for my 11ty sites going forward.

Coffee in hand, it's time to give @npub1zeh…gzqr a spin by plugging it into a site I have nearing completion - guided by no other than the awesome @npub1xed…yg9w

This is your friendly reminder to check in on all those Mastodon/Fedi bookmarks you've been collecting and meaning to follow up on, but have completely forgot about.
(The reminder is for me)

Decided to try an energy drink today (Monster, Watermelon Something) Not sure why, I haven't really touched them since my warehouse days.
This might have been a bad idea. I can currently see my eyeballs. 👀
Can't believe some folk be consuming this on the regular. The ingredients listed on the back is... something.

Ok, it's decided. I can not, for the life of me, get on with first-person perspective games using a controller.
Years of FPS with a mouse and keyboard has made this torture to even try to get to grips with, and I don't play games enough to warrant trying to re-train.
Save for any slow-paced games like The Witness, 3rd person perspective only (Which the PS5 has plenty of) - and saving any possible first person stuff for a future custom PC build 👀

@npub1vpr…n5tn aha yeah, I've stopped trying to do pixel perfect these days, in favour of responsiveness.
Flexbox and Grid is life 💚
It's still creeps in for sure (Especially when I'm doing some absolute positioning of graphical elements as will be the case here) - but pretty happy I can get most of the way done on a site without having to even write a media-query these days.

That glorious early stage of a websites development where you've thrown down some HTML but not really touched the CSS yet 😅
