The source I’m working with is anything but. 😅
In this particular context, time travel is used once, and merely as a justification for knowing the Big Bad’s vague plans (which could have been
an emaildiscovered in almost any other way), but then oops! Time travel can’t be used again for arbitrary unobtanium reasons which directly contradict and are contradicted by the rest of the text.Meanwhile, the Choices made by the PC (who has both the mechanism of time-travel and the unobtainium necessary to operate it) may result in extremely terrible consequences: such as the death of his entire family and everyone he’s ever known. Gee, if only there was some way to render meaningless that poor choice…
(I’ve been actively angry about this for five years.)

Comment on What do you think the top three most used apps on your phone for the past week are? in ~tech

It’s actually Safari, NetNewsWire, and Discord.
It seems I talk to my friends more than I responded to clients or family. 😬
It’s also telling bc I would have thought I “barely” check my RSS feeds compared to mastodon, but my default fediverse app didn’t even crack the top five (possibly due to time lost to Wallflower? 😉)

I have to say, I moved to the fediverse exactly to embrace a slower internet. This that you’ve made just furthers that concept into what feels natural and “right,” very much in the “why wasn’t it already like this?” sense. So i really appreciate, and will continue to use.
Would it be alright for me to share the link to the web app with my fediverse feed? I wasn’t sure if this was meant as something small or just-for-tildes. 🙌

There seems to be some unexpected behaviour with images on text-filtered posts. The text appears as it should (filter — $filterName show anyway?) but the associated image appears regardless. Ideally the image would be either hidden or at least blurred until click. https://imgur.com/a/pikaIQz
On iPad the third column is automatically whatever group / list i have, and there’s no way to change/close this. Had I my druthers, i’d like to be able to assign that third column a hashtag that i follow, or at least close it.
I absolutely adore the inclusion of alt text without having to click. The font choices are peak. Everything else so far is great!!

You may be surprised to know we 🇧🇷 use the comma for the decimals, g/kg in general, but! all our recipes here use cups (xícaras), teaspoons (colher de chá), and tablespoons (colher de sopa, literally soup spoon)!
…though we also use mL now and again for liquids, usually water.

i think my standard pizza is about the same recipe as yours, though i do have a ceramic pizza thing (it’s not a stone if it’s not stone, yeah?) which is nice if only for keeping a consistent shape. my kitchen is tiny, so no fancies for me (the bread maker is big enough that it has to live in another room entirely).

I was surprised to see my blog is already listed there. I haven’t noticed any uptick in traffic, but I also am not very militant about checking traffic either.
I’ll check this out. Thanks!
