I like it when the chat server at work has a dedicated channel for sharing music, but I'm never satisfied posting links to just a single service (Spotify, YouTube, whatever).

This project runs song link and album link services that cover all the the major platforms but are still nice and lean.

If you’re on a recent version of Mastodon (v3.5.0 was released on March 2022), you will see the edited post including the history.

If youʼre on a recent version of Pleroma (develop branch) or using Mastodon with an app that doesn’t support edits, you will see the edited post with no indication that it was edited and no way to display history.

If you’re on an old version of Mastodon, stable Pleroma (which is way less stable than the develop branch btw), Misskey etc., the server will reject incoming edits, you won’t see the edited version of the post

Today you can congratulate me, I finally got my third citizenship. After being born in Poland and gotten the German one because all my grand parents were German, I lived here in Sweden for quite some time so I got the Swedish one too!

One thing I feel frustrated about Mastodon is how difficult it is to find people with similar interests (yes yes what a cliche). Every day I TRY very hard not to go back to my FB.

An utterly amazing tool that allows you to search hashtags of public toots in local or federated TL. Still haven't found much in #arthistory or #AsianPhotography, but it at least motivates me to post more and use tags effectively!

Lost a neighbor today. He was gentle and kind. He reminded me of my grandfather who died many years ago. I am still in shock. Regret not spending more time with him. He would do the stairs in our condo as exercise and take a break on our floor to drop a couple of milkbones for our dog. I worked out with him in the gym sometimes and when I had time I would join he and his wife for coffee in the morning, along with other neighbors.

Kiddo is explaining game mechanics to me. ”You see those hearts? When you run out of love, you lose”

Made a mid-day #focaccia, with lots of #herbs from the garden. This is a common Friday-evening supper thing for us, usually with a few more items on top. This batch though is for sandwiches sometime later, so is rather simple with just herbs, salt and olive oil garnishing it.

Have found these to be very tasty split up the middle, and the bread/filling ration is nice this thin.

So US #inflation hit 9.1% yoy in June. You might think wages should be rising as well, right? What with the massive labor shortage and all? Well... not in real terms unfortunately.

Real weekly earnings are down 1% May-June and down 4.4% yoy.

Corporations are effectively reducing their wage costs during this period of inflation. Eroding the meager gains made in the past couple of years.
