If the #AppleVisionPro is the next "iPhone moment"...
Then I'll wait for the 3rd gen.
Or the cheaper, more open Android equivalent.
I could wait for Microsoft's answer, but it would probably be too late and fail to garner support from developers, even if it is better than the alternatives.
Most mood trackers I've seen just rank from negative to positive, and I feel like there's a lot of nuance there that is lost.
If I have a negative day, it doesn't necessarily mean I was ☹️. I might've been angry or irritable or just sick.
Has anyone seen any good alternatives?
It seems like a problem that is likely solved somewhere already.
Like a rating of 1-5 for each of "pessimistic optimistic", "serene manic", "peaceful angry", etc.
(I'd need to come up with a definitive list)

PSA for my friends:
Mastodon has no algorithms. That might be a tad weird, especially for people who come from Xitter or FB where a Like actually triggers something.
Here, a Like triggers only one thing: a smile on my face. Thank you.
If you think more people should read a post, you must boost it. Then your friends can see it in their timeline. Nothing else.
There is no algorithm. You see posts by who you follow and what those people share by boosting.
Simple.
It's people, not algos.

I recently organised everyone I'm following into lists, and I found I have no need for my home timeline.
I'm now using the single toolbar and wanted to hide the home timeline altogether. But when I did so, something weird happened and a bunch of my lists and timelines got duplicated.
Is this a known issue?
Couldn't sleep last night, started writing a manifesto, couldn't focus today, finished and posted to my personal blog.

It's essentially a call-to-action. The internet we miss is zombified; let's work on a new one, with intention.

However, I mostly interface to it via the #fedilab app (fedilab.app, @[email protected]), which saves my positions in feeds and, crucially, allows me to seamlessly follow external instances, such as the lovely people at pkm.social
I wish I could do this in #friendica itself, too.
It's like the bookmark feature on #mastodon, but supercharged.
Friends have previously told me they could see me getting a job somewhere just to fix a bug or bad UX choices that bother me.
In absolutely unrelated news, does anyone know if the Microsoft Teams team is hiring?
Learned a new word today:
respair
From the 16th century. It means "fresh hope, and recovery from despair."
I wish you all a year filled with respair.
Please feel free to pass it on to others; this one needs to be spread around, I think.

There was an electrical storm yesterday, and one bolt of lightning did hit quite close to home, but no breakers or anything seemed to be tripped, and nothing else has malfunctioned.
But when I try to turn the stereo on, the backlight does not turn on, it flashes "STANDBY" and then turns off again.
Hopefully there's something I can do to save it...
It's that time of year where one reflects on the year that has passed and looks forward to the new one. A lot of people like to set a "theme" for the new year, which is something I've not done before.
But next year, I think I'd like to set a theme of #focus
Focus is something I constantly struggle with, and I really need to step up my game.
So how does one practice focus? What does that even mean? That is what I'm setting out to discover.
Thanks for sharing, @[email protected]

@Fedilab Apps
I absolutely love the ability of #fedilab to be able to remote follow instances. I've set up my own single-user instance (#friendica) and being able to follow instances is awesome for my very blank timeline.
I have a question - more technical than a feature request - is it possible/feasible to post to another instance's shared inbox endpoint to show in their local public feed?

You're probably right.
I was thinking that they already have the HoloLens they could build onto as a competitor... But then I remembered they also had Windows phones/PDAs before the iPhone hit, too.
Don't bother repeating history, Microsoft.
