I feel like @tootapp is my fav client for mastodon. Only wish I could see the count of unread messages in my timeline. 😬

Peertube seems complicated. I’m motivated but just want to discover content. That seems hard when all these instances are hyper focused.

A recent study shows that you can literally buy happiness by paying others to do tasks you don't enjoy doing thus freeing you up to spend your time the way you like. Anybody who tells you money doesn't buy happiness is gaslighting you.

I do not save credentials in my browser. 1Password makes it easy to just pass the credentials in each time. Also, I use BlockBlock by objective_see to monitor auto loading software entires on my Mac.

I think it behooves us to try to understand *why* they’re anti-covid vaccine. I think a lot of it is tribalism… or to say it another way… I think they’re anti-vaxx for the same reason I feel guilty for not wearing a mask in public. Just calling them stupid is lazy. IMO.
Look, I don’t think any amount of reporting, logic, science or math is going to convince most anti-vaxxers to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Pretty much the only thing that can change their minds is if they or their families contract COVID and have a serious outcome.
Hey friends! I learned a lil thing today about Javascript and I wanted to share.

Setting a conditional variable in Javascript https://obsolete29.com/posts/setting-conditional-variable-javascript/
Do I know anyone good at JavaScript? What’s the proper way to set a conditional variable? If $var contains X then set $var to Y else set $var to Z. Let only makes the variable available inside the if-else block. Var works but read that devs should default to let.
Rachelle and I just recently discovered The First on Hulu. A bit shocked to learn that it was cancelled after the first season. It was a slow burn for sure but the plot moved forward and it made sense, unlike most of the idiot JJ Abrams shows & movies
I’d give it 4.5 out of 5.
