  • hoping this isn’t leading to a sewer opening or sketchy van uh….sure…?

  • How long will the last Intel Macs be supported? macOS Sonoma gives us some hints
  • I got an intel right when the M1's came out because I didn't want to be a guinea pig for the M1. I guess I will move up to M2 when those prices start to fall because the fan is a huge drag. Otherwise I love it; it was my first Mac.

  • ha yep. this album got me through the worst data entry job ever.

    I don't know why I didn't think I could do this this way, just never tried lol

    Thank you!

  • Dry Herb Vapes: Just getting started...
  • I think I'd say some thing kind of like no two are the same in a way. And by that I mean that each one has a little bit different technique. So that a bad experience with one might be because the vape itself is a piece of crap, or because of a technique issue.

    All of that said, it is definitely worth the patience, worth it to your health, to vape instead of smoke though. So be willing to try a couple of different techniques when it comes to packing, or when it comes to how you inhale, to get the most out of the experience

  • Growing my instance
  • Going a little bit different direction than some of the other responses, I feel like hash-tagging (wait that's called something else now...?) content is important in helping people to find you in searching. And I'm thinking of search as a particularly important function as platforms like this are growing.

    I see posts that are heavily (15 or more) tagged.... that may not even qualify as "heavily" out here in the fediverse, just something new to me.

    Been thinking about this a little bit and how I can personally lean into it versus my own insecurities. So this is a way for me to exercise self-promotion.

  • doesn't work well in my opinion (MacBook Pro and trackpad only)

    whyyyyyy is moving files on a Mac so harddddd

    whyyyyyy is moving files on a Mac so harddddd

    It's not ridiculous that I have files that I want to move from one folder to another folder - not copy. Move.

    Never understood why 'move to folder' is not a drop-down option

    It's such a basic freaking function

    The whole three finger drag requires me to arrange all of my windows so that I can drag stuff to a place without folders unless it gets lost in that folder that I'm dragging it past

    Click and drag on a trackpad equals me opening up whatever I'm trying to move

    I spent soooooooo much time griping about basic functionality in windows products

    If you got a better technique toss it at me

    just kinda wrung out lately…the only generative output is anger tbh
  • So I guess I could finish that thought —

    This is a place I imagine as someplace are actively contribute to. I’ve been gone for a few days, and I’m just realizing today how worn out I’ve been.

  • My Brilliant Cut Grinder finally arrived! Got a medium grind
  • Enjoy. It will be a splurge for me one day.

  • What Fast Food do you love?
  • good looking out ✌🏾

  • While larger, more general communities are thriving on the Fediverse - I'm missing out on the niche communities
  • howling into the void

    Yep that's what feels like, and it's part of starting a community because how is anyone going to find you if you're not making any noise?

    It's actually exciting. During my first week around here, someone framed it as the shift from consuming content to making contact and I found that really compelling

    The other thing I'm thinking about is how the other site was like joining a conversation, but here we are starting conversations

    How I have been enjoying /kbin on iOS

    Just some stuff I have noticed in spending too much time on this over this weekend

    • the UI has a sidebar that renders as a super long column on mobile; updates are coming. So you will have to scroll a BIT to figure out where you are and access the menu I'm talking about below

    • There are two settings menus: one in the hamburger menu on, and then there is a small gray gear menu. The gear menu let you access themes and the mini-menu bar is at the top that help with navigation

    • most users make their subscription list private for reasons understandably, but I will look at other people's subscription list to see if there is anything I am interested in following and / or just follow the people

    • you can set your homepage to just see your subscriptions. I understand that grouping magazine subscriptions is also on the pipeline

    Between having a home page in my subscriptions, and setting my notifications and just scrolling through those to see everything that has been posted in my magazines ....

    .... I am having what feels like my normal show up and scroll and see what's going on experience

    All of that said, another user mention the shift from consuming to producing, which is really interesting and intriguing thoughts for me personally and how I relate to the fediverse

    Any other tips or tricks?

    How has kbin bin (been) for you so far?
