Mona works best of all the ones I have tried. I would prefer to use Ivory, but it's definitely got some odd issues (like the boosts appearing incorrectly) that makes it difficult.

    Once upon a time I was on lead guitar in an instrumental surf / punk / rock / funk / (insert every other genre here) four-piece band. We only really played together in that iteration for about 3 years, but in my memory it felt like such a much larger part of my life.

    I guess I was only 23 when that particular era ended though. I need to start posting some these old tunes.

    I always loved the name of that band - Bus Hop - It was nonsensical and had no meaning; but it just worked for the sound.

    @BeAware@mementomori.social I’ve always loved the Elder Scrolls myself and in a way ESO was some of my favorite experiences in that world. Something about the game progression seemed to just fizzle out for me back when I was actively trying to play it. Maybe the story got slow or something? For the lost part, I’m a player for the story type gamer.

      I’ve got some sort of infection in the my ear canal that I’ve got to see a doctor about tomorrow. It’s making me feel like I’m spinning in circles even when I’m sitting perfectly still.

      @BeAware@mementomori.social I think I would feel weird if I had thousands of followers that never spoke to me. It would be enough to probably cause me to never post again… 😉

      How is ESO these days? I haven’t played in over 5 years. I would get a character about 15 hours in and just kind of stop. I’m not sure why, did it with at least 5 characters.

        @BeAware@mementomori.social @phillycodehound It’s like a course over-correction. Yes, AI can produce poor results, often even, but it can also be a useful tool. I use the hell out of it as an accessibility utility because of neurological issues I have. A very loud group of people immediately stick their fingers in their ears and start screaming about how awful it is without really having an understanding of what it really is.

        I just wish the it wasn’t called “AI”. Like when those “hoverboards” got popular a decade ago. They did not hover.

          It’s been sunny and warm for the past two weeks and then tonight at 7 PM the wind started blowing and a snow storm rolled up on us. I’m really enjoying it though. I guess it’ll be the last gasp of winter for my area.

            I really miss 3D Touch on iOS and Apple Watch devices. I feel like Apple dropped it because it was used so little, but if they would’ve made it more discoverable to begin with it could’ve been the basis for so many interactions that ended up convoluted now.

              I finally got working with and my this particular account. It’s strange, I think I’ve narrowed the crash down to an issue with the way ActivityPub relays work in snac2. If there is a single boosted post in my timeline when Ivory pulls the data, it crashes instantly.

                I’m attempting to troubleshoot #Ivory when used with #snac2 where the app crashes when attempting to load in certain bits of data (seems like some hashtags perhaps, or the data the hashtags lead to). Ivory logs a crash mentioning something about “serverFilters” or “imageIndex”. Like when I try to view the StarTrek tag something it tries to pull in crashes the app hard.

                Now I’m just trying to find a specific post that will do it so maybe I can actually figure out what exactly is going wrong.

                          @macmanx@social.lol @chockenberry I’ve started working on a connector for Tapestry that will login to my FreshRSS instance, pull the latest articles and then mark them as read on the server. So basically any time Tapestry pulls articles from FreshRSS the articles it gets will then be marked as read in any other RSS reader I use (like Fiery Feeds, Reeder, etc…), that way I don’t see duplicates.

                          Now I just have to continue unearthing my JavaScript abilities. They’ve been buried a very long time.
