@nprofile…n58x Maybe I'll finally write up a blog post with my list. I can't just do an export because I've been pretty lazy about keeping things curated. I don't want to dump out a bunch of old garbage that doesn't work anymore.

@nprofile…k7ew Fairly certain this has a lot more to do with the monitor in question than the eyes of the individual. I tried it on my work laptop this morning too, and did SIGNIFICANTLY worse than on my phone last night. My gaming PC got this score.

@nprofile…nj5n That would be super handy to have. I don't know of anything like that right now though. I might just have to spend some time trying to find that today.

@nprofile…l57z True, though I could easily see how the Home and Local feeds could get out of control. Where I would really like to see an RSS feed is for Lists. I think that would be useful.

@nprofile…f9wr They're kind of hidden away, but each profile has one for posts and everything including replies:
https://mastodon.social/@gdinwiddie.rss
https://mastodon.social/@gdinwiddie/with_replies.rss
You can also follow hashtags the same way. For example:

@nprofile…sx6h My thoughts exactly.

2026-03-09 23:42:47 UTC

Ran across this article on Hacker News. It's got a few months under its belt, but it surprised me #Mastodon didn't warrant a mention. I'm a huge fan of #RSS, and get most of my news that way, but it's also a Mastodon feature. I don't always "follow" Mastodon accounts from Mastodon. Sometimes I follow them through RSS. Every Mastodon profile has at least 2 RSS feeds, and they can make following some profiles incredibly handy. Social media and RSS isn't mutually exclusive.

I expect we're about to really see things hit the fan over there after this.

Apparently the controllers we bought for them at some point are "Unauthorized" by Microsoft. They work perfectly fine if they're not signed in to their Xbox account, but the stop when they sign in.
That's some next level bullshit right there.

My kids are home from school this week, and they're taking advantage of their copious leisure time. They thought they'd break out the Xbox they haven't touched in over a year.
When they first started playing the had been logged out of their account (my wife's account) because they were idle for so long. My wife was busy with work, so they played as "guests" for a while. When she had the time, she came down stairs and signed them in. Immediately the controllers stopped working. 1/?

@nprofile…q5tc I like where your head is at, but probably not the healthiest thing to be drinking at 9:30 in the morning. 😉

I just want to state for the record that Mondays still suck.

And the final grade is in. Passed. Now I've got a couple weeks off before my next class. Maybe I'll break out my Steam Deck again.

2026-03-08 05:37:20 UTC

Of course, I'm trying to enjoy a frosty beverage after finishing my class and work calls me for a couple of down APIs. I don't even recognize them.
*sigh*

2026-03-08 01:54:34 UTC

Well, that's done. Almost 2 hours. Brain hurts, but it's done. I think it might be beer:30.

@nprofile…2ch3 That's our new Secretary of Homeland Security there.

Every time I read one of these articles, like pretty much everybody, I wonder how they plan to enforce it. Reminds me of an old joke.
