@PDXBOTC I would definitely be interested in that, thank you!

Ha! $159 for the repair. Not happening.

The screen on my Apple Watch just… peeled off during the night. Any idea how much it costs to fix?

It’s a series 3, no apple care.

@jfmengels On mastodon.social at least, you can turn on an advanced interface , then subscribe to a particular hashtag that way.

@dylan_porcelli@fosstodon.org I switched to iPhone after Essential went out of business and my phone started crashing randomly. Always used stock Android before that.

I also have an old Nexus 5 with Ubuntu Touch loaded on it for fun, but with about 20 minutes of battery it doesn’t last very long.

Ending today at 17,475. It's below the goal, planning to make it up in the morning. Too tired right now and painting my characters into a corner, hoping the morning gives me a good idea.

@sean What does "interoperate with your Mastodon account" mean in this context? How do they relate to each other besides using the ActivityPub protocol?

@mika @elmweekly @robinheghan is here (and @wolfadex who makes Elm Weekly), but I think there's still a relatively small group. I'm following the #elmlang tag, but there's not a lot happening on it yet. Let's start changing that!

@jennie@artisan.chat @nickferris @sewing That's really good! I love the Prydain Chronicle books, this is so cool to see!

Just a heads up, if you're interested in #elmlang the Elm Weekly newsletter now has an account on Mastodon @elmweekly!

@goldiechan Honestly best to go into it without too much info, but it's a sci fi novel written by Andy Weir (same as The Martian).

@goldiechan Another good one is Project Hail Mary, it was such a fun read.

@goldiechan I really enjoyed listening to the Expanse series audiobooks, that's probably my favorite sci fi right now.

@goldiechan Definitely a real person here! And looks like we're already following each other. Hello!

@fimion @sia hadn't heard of this one before! Sounds interesting.

Discovered that I can access Github Copilot for free for my open source contributions and reinstalled it. Gonna be interesting to see how it feels to use again after taking some time off from it.

Reached 16,711 words today. Jumped to a different character's perspective for a bit to see what they're up to, and learned some things about a different character in the process.

@gwmccull @kyleshevlin with my example, I had just kicked off a 3 or 4 sprint epic. I had spent weeks planning and coordinating it between teams, and convincing them why it was essential for certain features to be included.

By the time it kicked off… I just couldn’t focus on it. I found I could do none of the tasks I had written, not because it wasn’t urgent, but because the other thing was stuck in my head and I had to get it out.

I think my favorite thing about coming to Mastodon has been getting to reconnect with people that the Twitter algorithm stopped showing me.

@kyleshevlin 100%! I have gone on the record with my team that I love bugfixing because it can engage me sometimes when other work just doesn't.
