Tweet replies no longer show who users are replying to
Twitter is about to look like the stream of consciousness from an insane person.
How does anyone benefit from this?
Oh, the irony.
Never been more upset with Apple then when they removed max volume from parental controls.
Interesting Weather update today. Never seen this one before.
Why Apple and the Carriers Want Your Old iPhone
A fun little read about what happens when your device is traded in at the carrier.
TL:DR They’re resold. Which my days in carrier world we never had an official documentation on where they went. But we knew…we knew.
My Mastodon time line is two things right now: #Goose and #Meta
This is going to end well. 🤦
Replayed Kirby’s Dream Land on Switch Game Boy, and after all these years these two faces still stick with me. 🎮 🕹️
If I didn’t have one already, I would be all over making my own custom colors.
iOS 16.4: iMessage now supports rich content previews for Mastodon posts
Hard to ignore #Mastodon’s impact now.
Just to let you know if I ever die it was due to drowning in a sea of cables.
Yes, Elon Musk created a special system for showing you all his tweets first
Free speech “absolutist” makes his priority over everyone else after being less popular than a “senile old man” 🙄
Rep. George Santos was charged with theft in since-dismissed 2017 dog breeder case
But Bogosian provided CNBC with a screenshot showing a November 2017 charge in Santos’ name of “THEFT BY DECEP-FALSE IMPRESSION.”
How did he even become a candidate? Was an ounce of his background even researched?
Gotta keep ’em all? Nintendo raising wages 10% to secure workforce as profit slumps
Thank you Nintendo for setting an example when so many are being let go from the slightest shutter.
This is one of my favorite #Gluon features in the Nit Picky section. Love to read everyone’s content but sometimes I just need to get in, say my piece and get out.
Don’t mind me over here. Just working from home alone today and taking advantage of it!
The 14 Rarest Classic Gameboy Games (& How Much They’re Worth)
Woah! Apparently, I had the third rarest GBA game according to this list. Mega Man 5 was a nice departure from the others. New abilities. Unique planet bosses.
Does this make #Google + and it’s content officially dead dead?
Ordered an updated car chargers for the upcoming trip. This was in the back, and I don’t know why it makes me laugh.
Who’s will strike first in the war against Twitter?
The zoning board!!!
Problem I have with Mastodon apps is honestly, I want to use them all.
See is what having an open API gives you. More options then you know what to do with.
Twitter replaces its free API with a paid tier in quest to make more money
I imagine this will be the next cause for Twitter exodus for those with bot accounts and automatic post sharing.
Netflix’s US Password-Sharing Crackdown Isn’t Happening—Yet - Wired
Yet is the word here.
The death knell for password sharing is still tolling, though, after the company said in its recent earnings call that it will announce and begin to roll out account-sharing changes around the world in the first quarters of 2023.
It seems every company will see how much people will take before hand, then adjust back once they have gauges the outrage. I expect some modification on their announcement.
How will it account for children away at school? Truckers?
Facebook secretly killed users batteries, worker claims in lawsuit - NYP
The practice, known as “negative testing,” allows tech companies to “surreptitiously” run down someone’s mobile juice in the name of testing features or issues such as how fast their app runs or how an image might load, according to data scientist George Hayward.
It was not just in your head. Another reason to leave big social. Meta (Instagram/Facebook) are the last two I have left mainly for close family updates. I need a creative way to leave but still provide information to them.
Mystery solved! They match the Twitter follower counts.
The Carolina Hurricanes have 553k?
What’s going on over at sportsbots.xyz?
Wait… what…?
Miami Heat have five million Mastodon followers?
Spoofed?
Going a different direction for my #homescreen. I have use the original widget area heavier to clean things up.
Appears Mastodon.social may be under a DDoS attack.
Thank you Mastodon for the content warning tonight. #LastofUs
This really is the best IceCubes app icons so far.
Question for IceCube users: What does this do? I tap it and nothing appears to note. On or off.
When all the green lines up.
It’s official. There is nothing going on in the news today. Third ad from Apple News.
And again! News. Not ads please.
Apple I would like News alerts. Not ads!
This is easily the best phone you can buy for $200. - Wired
When compared to a typical $200 tier phone, it is nice to see tech costs have fallen. The entry level devices once were a frustrating experience.
10 years of iPhone camera progress

I wish the red night time filter for the Wayfinder would be great to apply across the entire Apple Watch Ultra.
If it only on for the watch face would it not cause a disaster in a photo darkroom situation? Blind for night star watching? (The real answer is use theatre mode.)
TIL you can adjust the tile height in the Home app
🤯
I had no clue this was possible.
If you have questions about home humidity after iOS 16.3 was released for the HomePod today, like I did, here is what Bob Vila has to say about it.
Now what I would really like is an Mastodon client for my Apple Watch. While Mast has one it has not been updated in two years and did not work last I tried.
The translate feature on @icecubesapp@mastodon.cloud for #Mastodon is great! 📱
Really gives more life to the federated feed.
I am really excited for the unlocked humidity sensor in the HomePod mini!
Yay! Ice Cubes 🧊 just added system match themes!
Am I to late for #screenshotsaturday? Or to early for next weeks!
How interesting is it that the web version of #Twitter shows a banner to get their app after today’s news?
Twitter Bans Third Party Apps - Engadget
The “restrictions” section of Twitter’s developer agreement was updated Thursday with a clause banning “use or access the Licensed Materials to create or attempt to create a substitute or similar service or product to the Twitter Applications.” The addition is the only substantive change to the 5,000-word agreement.
Welp, it’s official. Hopefully, this is the nail in the coffin for quiet a bit to jump over to Mastodon.
Apple unveils new full-size HomePod - 9to5Mac
This makes me happy. They should not have discontinued it in the first place.
Sunday Funday!
What did your weekend hold?
I’ll tell you what I’m tired of spending money on cars and other broken items lately.
Really thought the killing of third-party API would have lead to a large push. Unless those savy to use them already made the jump before.
Mastodon User Count -1/16/23 - 10:00am
I know I did one of these yesterday, but changes were made.

I have never used Notion before. I think I can use this as a fun little tool for writing and keeping track of reviews.
Does anyone’s Apple Watch Ultra charge above 80% on its own?
Optimized charging daily has it always stopping short. No issues. I appreciate making it last longer. I am just not used to that from all past Apple Watches. ⌚️ 📱
The worst (sarcastic best?) about the killing off of Twitter API is no one knows if it’s policy or just broken… 🤷
Unorganized chaos in the nest.
I hope this closure of third party API on Twitter is the final straw for many. This is the next scandal that will bolster Mastodon’s new sign ups.
Follow along here for hourly updates
I have never heard of this new Mastodon app until this morning. It looks great! Really liking it so far.
If anything this shift to Mastodon has been exciting for all the new apps I get to try! 📱

Tunic follow up: I beat it after trying all day, but it was a close one! 1v1 at the end.
Mastodon to hit 9 mil users today
Feels good!
The Cathedral boss rush in Tunic is major bs…
It reduces you down to no perks you have been working on since the beginning of the game. Then, your items used are lost at a point where you need any extra help you can get. Each death is a restart to the whole thing that you have to grind through all over again. 🤬😡
Strategy is key here, but hell it is frustrating. Cannot wait to be through this mess!
Great deal if you are in the market. The 256GB is normally ~$50 on its own normally.

Andrew Tate and Brother Arrested
It honestly sounds like a silly teen made for TV movie. Internet personality pokes at teen activist. Activist hits back embarrassing personalities’ ego. Personality tries to swing back harder yet, only to make the silly mistake of giving up his location with some basic detective work on the side of a pizza box. Personality arrested because of course he is a creep underneath it all.
draws cartoon ears in the bottom corner of tv
Tunic update: Still trucking along with it. Just finished what I assume is one of the first three bosses, The Librarian, in the game. I have stumbled into the Cathedral from what I gather in the book.
Hope it stays this kinda day… 🎮 📷

I have tried all the current iOS Mastodon apps in the AppStore. Also, with the exception of Ivory (damn quick filling beta slots), TestFlight apps too. So far #Mastoot is my favorite by far.
It is a very exciting time with the variety of choices. I know betas will be updated, so I keep them on standby for when changes are made.
It is that kinda weather.
I’ve decided on a weekend gaming project.
If Deaths Door, Monument Valley and of course Legend of Zelda had a baby. Though I want to go in without expectations of playing those games wrapped into one. I have rang the first bell (?). It has been a fun hour or so but predictable. With not set book they do a good job of easing you into how it is going to play. I enjoy the attention to the game book details. Even the hand written notes I have left in a few of my own past books.
What makes me excited for the Mastodon change over is that new names will be lifted up. Creatives we have never heard of before that we’re lost in the bird site algorithms.
Identify your Binding of Isaac Map
I love it! I’ve never seen them this way before.
It is amazing there are so many Mastodon apps in the works. Though one thing I have not seen discussed are the pricing models for each.
Musk or no at the helm of Twitter, I don’t see myself going back. Damage is done.
So if I auto post from Instagram to Twitter it shows the link on my timeline.
Would this cause me to be suspended? 🤔
What a hellscape it has become so quickly.
Something will always appeal to me about an e-ink display.
No One on Twitter Is Safe From Elon Musk - Wired
I’m safe if I am not there. 😬
Also in regards to his claim of an attack: “LAPD’s Threat Management Unit is aware of the situation and Tweet by Elon Musk and is in contact with his representatives and security team,” the department said in a statement. “No crime reports have been filed yet.” via LA Time
What I love about Mastodon is seeing a busier feed. I would check my app before to see maybe 5-10 updates. Now it has grown!
I’ve decided to reactivate my Twitter profile as a place holder. My intention is to make sure it is not repurposed for hate.
It is now locked with my profile photo a QR code to my Mastodon Profile.
Asking the world: Does anyone know of a tool to efficiently delete all Tweets?
I have left my account active, but shut down so my @ is not repurposed for evil.
♥️ Thank you

Hollow Knight Switch is 50% off till 12/19
This is a must have for me. If you do not have a copy yet for Nintendo Switch now is your time. It’s not a deal it’s a steal. (Not an affiliate link)
It is to the point I have put my Twitter account on hiatus.
Should I delete it? Yes, probably. Though part of me finds it hard to leave something of 15 years after turning into a dumpster fire in two months. Part of my holds hope for a brighter future. Until that point I think I will sit it out indefinitely. I have turned off micro.blog from sharing content also.
Setting up 2FA with Mastodon with Apple’s built in Verification Code was easy and convenient.
I caved.
Should I just jump on it now or wait?
Really looking forward to doing the Always on Display with no wallpaper. 🤔
Has anyone ever had their Instagram account just blown up by fake/spam account follows? Was about 400 followers yesterday overnight it grew to 900 from them.
Thanks someone!
I am curious if the general Twitter population would have a better experience if they simply changed apps.
Apps like TweetBot, Spring and Aviary remove the timeline from the algorithm and forcing content suggestion.
Yes, Twitter closing API would remove this option all together. Though at least enjoy it why we can.
One feature of Mastodon I really enjoy: Federated Timeline
Caught up on your personal timeline? See what the fire hose has to offer. Maybe leave a random, lil positive note to someone.
I haven’t done one of these in awhile my #iOS #homescreen for today. 12/2
I’ve really leaned in on the purple color to match the Deep Purple 14 Pro Max.

I signed up then closed my account. Just seemed thrown together with app only interface. Definitely prefer how Mastodon is setup with independent instances.
Was $2.99 now free for a limited time.
Love me a rouge like game. Going to check it out!

Apple’s ad agency recommends a stop to Twitter campaign
Welp, I think my sites broken. Theme is incorrect and new post won’t show up. 😕
Looking for familiar faces there too. Come say hi.
I just keep checking my Apple Watch Ultra order in some off chance it will magically ship earlier.
Why give me the option?
Also look outside Chris Pratt at the voice cast. It’s a great list. Fred Armisen, Jack Black, Charlie Day, Charles Martinet cameo.
Super Mario Bros Movie - Teaser
Look, Mario appears a lil different but I’ll hear him out. The mustache change with a realistic body movement to a realistic movie are understandable.
I started replaying Hollow Knight this week. The OLED Switch really makes it pop with the dark environments. Last time I played in my Lite and it did not have that effect.
Also forgot how cute he is reading the map and walking. (Won’t let me video capture or I’d post it.
Also never noticed Cornifer’s Glasses on their store either.
Custom AirPod 2 show engraving on iPhone. Awesome Apple detail.
A Case For The iPhone 14…repairability
Opens front AND back with just two screws.
Really takes some adjustment to get used to an Always on Display for iPhone.
So far feels like something is always wrong or needing attention. Used to the much darker Android AoD.
Lot going on up here…
I caved.
Interesting fact: My battery capacity has gone down 1% almost each iOS 16 beta change. Was at 99% before this started.
Wish moving photos from the Switch wasn’t such a PITA 🎮
Why not? No one’s home but me today.
I just want an iPhone Pro camera on a iPhone mini body. That’s it!
Finally! No more clogging up your camera roll with screen shots in iOS 16 beta 5.
New music cover Lock Screen in iOS 16 beta 3 is a HUGE improvement!
I like the new Mastodon purple!
Changing this face in watchOS 9 gives me real Pebble vibes. RIP
I really like the green dot for your location on the Astronomy wallpaper. The little detail made it a little personal.
Circles looking much better in iOS 16 beta 2
Truly wish I had the know how to make a few tweaks to my micro.blog design.
Quit Anger: Anger Management for iOS was $15.99 but is now free via IAP. Cuz some folks need to relax a bit.
Sunday Home Screen
With iOS 16 this week there have been a ton of daily changes playing with the new Lock Screen collections.
The new iOS 16 Home Screen music player lay out is a welcome improvement.
I do like how the new iOS 16 Home Screen battery widget changes to what is in use. This case it’s my AirPods. When I am not listening shows my watch.
Bitcoin that’s easy to save, spend and hold in a self-sovereign way.
So money?
Some circle issues fix themselves. 🤷♂️
The Pride unlock animation is pretty satisfying. iOS16
I like the featured Search on the new iOS 16 home screen. Spotlight has been, for a long time, an overlooked feature.
New keyboard haptics in iOS 16 are very nice. Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Keyboard Feedback
Ope… more iOS 16 circle concerns
But over all I can get used to these new appearances.
First iOS 16 beta 1 reaction: Apple did not focus on circles in some areas.
I am a glutton for punishment.
Puts on spelunking helmet I am going in!
Welp, between the Lock Screen and Home App changes I think I’ll be sticking my foot into the iOS beta bear trap again. #WWDC2022 🤯
