Would this have the unfortunate side effect of also eliminating the color pink? What about purple and orange?

I don’t actually use a traditional alarm much anymore, only for the rare “special occasion”. My secret: Smart lights. They dim on very gradually in the morning, so the light wakes me up. The other half of the equation is that they also gradually dim off in the evening, and that does an amazing job of getting me to bed at a reasonable hour without feeling forced.

Dr. Grip. I love the “shake to advance” thing and the huge, squishy grip.

I’m not the person you asked, but I use microchip-based feeders for my cats and the company also sells microchip doors. I’ve been pretty happy with the feeders, but haven’t had any reason to try the doors.

Pretty much. I was going to buy some shit from a non-Amazon online vendor, then got a captcha on checkout and just left. Saved me some money I guess.

Not quite. I was shopping for running shoes a while back and learned that generally, a women’s wide is the same width as a men’s standard. I think a women’s standard is usually called a B width, and the women’s wide and men’s standard would be a D width. Some brands do make other slight differences between the men’s shoe and the women’s shoe, so the swap might not always be 1 to 1, and some brands do unisex sizing, so there’s no difference in width for men’s vs. women’s.

Another commenter shared a link with a guide to create a custom feed, and I definitely see how that can be better. As a new user, I was having too much trouble finding an easy way to create my own custom feed, and wasn’t happy with any of the existing feeds that I looked at… they all seemed to include more “junk” than the equivalent hashtags on Mastodon. I agree that simply following hashtags has downsides, but the logic as to why a specific post shows up in my feed is much more obvious in that case, allowing me to more easily troubleshoot and adjust my follow/block settings.

Thanks! I was looking for a way to build my own feed, but this is the first guide I’ve seen that seems relatively simple to follow. I agree that there’s downsides to simply following hashtags, but I’m familiar with ways to curate my feed based on hashtags, and just wanted to start with something familiar. The curated feeds are probably great for a lot of people, but just really frustrated me, as the feeds I happened to browse seemed to somehow include more “junk” than what I’ve encountered with the equivalent hashtags on Mastodon.

Yeah, I saw those and appreciate the idea, but I didn’t like them, at least not yet. I just want to follow a few cat related tags, maybe some FOSS stuff, and some tags relevant to my local area. I just clicked through a few feeds related to each of those, but didn’t like any of the ones that came up. Each feed contains posts that seem totally irrelevant and I don’t understand why they’re included or how to tweak my feed to remove them.

I’m probably an idiot, but my experience was exactly the opposite. I don’t really feel like following specific users (at least for now), I just want to follow hashtags. Super easy to do on Mastodon, but I couldn’t figure it out on Bluesky.

I never used Twitter, and am not particularly excited about the general format, so I’m probably not the target user, but I check Mastodon occasionally, and gave up on Bluesky after like 2 days.
