Ross of Ottawa
Ross of OttawaIt would be such a tiny thing to implement on the #Mastodon web client, but I wish we could get the little "Hide" button for the images that are attached to news article links too.
I really don't need so many pictures of "him" in my timeline, but I may still like to see the article headlines to consider clicking through.

Ross of OttawaToday's #oddBunch arrived. Just one apple? Hmm. A nice good bag of green beans. I substituted limes for potatoes, and peppers for broccoli, so that worked out nicely. Good value again anyway.
What are the brown things in the paper bag? Maybe lychees? I thought they were red usually. Unsure. Anyone know?
Ross of OttawaThere's a ritual every carpenter or furniture maker knows. It's the walk into the workshop the next morning after a glue-up with your cup of coffee/tea in your hand (sometimes followed by a dog or cat).
It's a good feeling.
(Unless you find a surprise error in your previous-day's thinking. No surprises here yet).

Ross of OttawaThrift shop visit after breakfast. Nothing too exciting. Always watching for Fire King or Cornishware mugs, but no luck today.
Came across a Fire King the other day, but it was McD's branded, sadly.
Always fun to look. The game even without a coveted find is to choose which one you'd use if you had a coffee or tea right that moment.

Ross of OttawaHa ha - this pie plate with an apple pie recipe on it…
"Every time I try to make an apple pie, I get to the part where you put the pastry into the dish, then I don't know what to do next!"

Ross of OttawaI'm eager for an update to #tusky that does aggregation of notifications, like the web client has for a while now. So it'll say "156 people boosted this toot," rather than 156 separate notifications. Perhaps the next version?
As an accidental poster of a couple of popular toots lately (what's up with that?) your notifications get flooded and you can't see the convos w your regular chatty friends unless you play with filters, muting and such.
Ross of OttawaOh, and hello to new followers waves
Glad to have you along. Unfortunately I run a pretty boring feed generally, but the bonus is that you will receive an envelope containing slice of bread in the mail shortly. It's automatic when you follow.

Ross of OttawaDid a little back-deck snow removal on this freezing cold day.
Did it Chernobyl style – that's where you run outside with a shovel and do as much as you can in the thirty seconds before the cold becomes unbearable without a coat, then run inside again.
Ross of OttawaYou prob know this already, but if you duck-search, you can go to a slightly different entry point at https://noai.duckduckgo.com to do web searches without AI slop dumping on you.
I see they've dressed up the landing page their! Now more obviously non-AI. I mean, it's a selling feature, so yeah, go to town guys.
(if you still google things, consider the duck search! it's worked well for me for years, and the non-ai version is a nice step forward).

Ross of OttawaIs that new? I never noticed the "Remove xxx from followers" option when you click on the three-dots menu on a Mastodon person before. (web client)
Always had to do the block/unblock thing to bump them away.
Nice little increment in features if it's a new thing.
