 @40b06bed can I get help to unsubscribe from your mailing list... I've tried at least a dozen times and they keep coming. 
 nostr:npub1ay5m3h2j5qvxksv54elk92g0g88hmudxxawfn4wcd323d80z8eus73yryn Have you spoken to the vet ... 
 @18cf2de6 not yet. Been doing some study on it. They are both going to the vet next week. 
 So, this morning I think I’ve come to the conclusion that our dog Hazel who we knew was a mutt has some herding breed in her. She won’t stop herding or nipping at our new pup. The poor thing is a wreck because she can’t do anything without being pushed around by the other. Need advice folks.

 So the IFTTT integration between MicroBlog and DayOne worked great. It’s a little slow showing up, but does fill in. I am very excited about this. Now, when I add anything I will eventually have a hard copy since I plan on printing yearly books. 
 Ok, now I’m testing that IFTTT integration. 
 I saw that you can have an RSS feed go to DayOne using IFTTT. I think this is a great plan, that way my blog can live on within my journal and the things I would have put in both get there with one entry.

 I don’t want to start a political discussion ( famous last words ) but does anyone see anything a little hypocritical here? I’m telling you, the side doesn’t matter, they are all full of it.

Biden approves new section of border wall as Mexico crossings rise https://www-bbc-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-67015137.amp?amp_js_v=0.1#webview=1&cap=swipe 
 Has there been any word on the Journal app for iOS lately? The one from #Apple ? 
 After Kagi was shared with me today, it has now led me too try the Orion browser on iOS. I’m liking it so far. I wish I had a good way to sync bookmarks to it.

 Does anyone know of tools or apps that make it easy to blur out faces or place emoji’s over them. I want to get a little more personal now and again on the blog, but don’t want to share my family members faces in photos. Especially my kids. Any ideas would be most helpful.

 I consider myself an environmentalist of sorts, but I am on the regenerative meat side. Are there any podcasters or bloggers who talk environment and the regenerative agriculture solution? And not end cow farts…

 Why doesn’t #Apple have a close all Windows option when you swipe up to close something? Sometimes I just want to clear things out, and I would love to not swipe up a gazillion times to do it. 
 Probably has something to do with you being a homo 
 @ToxicFemininity that must be it! Pure genius! 
 For some reason I’m obsessed with shows like the Voice and American Idol. 
 I have a never ending email battle going in my life. 

1. Hey.com - best interface and service in general, but mail only
2. Fastmail - Nice, economical, but for some reason bores me.
3. Proton - Secure, a little pricey, don't know if I really need the encryption… I don't think I have ever emailed someone where I needed it, or they did.

I'm leaning towards Hey again because they announced they have a Calendar in the works... I really need to pick something and stick with it for eternity..lol 
 The more I think of it, I really like Hey because it's Rails.

 @sommerfeld @The: Daniel⚡️  On bot Mastodon and Nostr, You have to know who you want to follow. It's harder to find rando cool people. Maybe easier on Nostr since the crowd is a little smaller. But I usually read a blog post, then see if the author is on Nostr or Masto.

 @sommerfeld @The: Daniel⚡️ I'm on nostr also, just not bridged ... timapple@iris.to 
 Can you see this too? 
 What? Can you see my reply? Is this real life? 
 @sommerfeld yes it is, I actually used a extension called "Privacy Redirect" 
 Can someone remind me, I believe there is a browser extension that lets you filter links from twitter, youtube, reddit, etc... to alt services like invideous, nitter, libreddit and so on. I can't remember it's name for the life of me.

 @23f7074d no need to be sorry, you had solid advice. I am just a pain in the arse.

 @23f7074d I could, but it would require the use of youtube still. I'm old and stubborn. 
 I don't know who needs to hear this, but if your show is only on #YouTube and has no #RSS feed, it is not a #podcast . 
 I hate to be a party pooper, but space whales are harder to believe than the force itself.

 📷 Set up a Pixelfed for myself. 

timapple on pixelfed (https://pics.timapple.com/timapple). 
 Another thing I'm searching for is a app for @53c578bc on both #Android and #ios 

I do have the Pixelfed beta on iOS but it doesn't recognize my instance so I can't use it.

 @ae45ebc5 @aa7540e9 is pretty great. I’ve used it on and off for a couple of years and finally made it my permanent home for my email. 
 Made quite a few changes in the past day or so....

 @d3b834c4 there hasn't been a good Star Wars movies since the 80's. I don't think there will ever be another.

 @92b85cdc I have the AppleTV HD and it has never crashed, it is also much more responsive than my chromecast and Amazon fire.

 @08216466 the big problem is there are no good options. There needs to be a really strong candidate somewhere… but I think they are all hiding.
