Anyone remember these? Isn't the Dairy Queen sweet!
My grandmother had a kitchen drawer FULL of these.

My earliest memory of Dairy Queen was my grandpa saying, "Who wants a softie!" to us grandkids. Surprise...we always said, "YES!"
He would get us all the regular cones and one child-sized. They wouldn't allow adults to buy from the children's menu. He had type 1 diabetes, so this is how he would sneakily get himself a treat as well!
Years later after he was gone, I mentioned Grandpa's softie treks to my mother. "WHAT!" she said, "He wasn't supposed to have those!" Then went quiet. He lived a long and satisfying life. Those few moments of joy with the grandkids, I suppose were worth it to him. We miss you Grandpa!

Mastodon Exit Interview
I am currently winding down the Mastodon bots I used to post sunrise and sunset times. The precipitating event is that the admin of the instance hosting the associated accounts demanded they be made nigh-undiscoverable, but the underlying cause is thโฆRobโs Posts
Thanks for the respectful & thorough notes. I absolutely love what the federated web is trying to do, and Mastodon is my only โguilt-freeโ social site.
But as a UX designer (and a guy who wants his non-techie friends to feel comfortable enough with the federated web to move over from Insta / X), itโs hard seeing concerns about usability (and your other points) dismissed in order to keep the club small.
I hope this inspires change, either at here or a new site.
@Gargron @rcbo mastodon.social/@GroupNebula56โฆ
The problem here (and the problem that the infamous "Mastodon Won't Survive" article had years ago) is that you're evaluating the network compared to traditional social media. There is a clear difference, and while I think many of your points are valid and improvements do need to be made, this is more akin to saying the entire internet is bad because one browser stinks in your opinion.
@Gargron Not by you, to my knowledge. Generally, the sentiment of replies from folks here when I mention the need for it to be easy for non-techies to join, is a reaction of fear. Like itโs best as exclusive club.
That, and a few other UX barriers to โnormieโ usage (e.g. easy cross-server interactions & global-ish search) still make it a hard sell to friends. #UX was mentioned as a big barrier in a โFedi Houseโ event at SXSW.
I sometimes go through these lists to see if I have missed anything.
This time around I'm frustrated by the movies that were left out.
Where is Nausicaa or Laputa? How about After Yang or Robot & Frank?
And of course these lists miss all sorts of international stuff, but these people are trying--but not very hard when it comes to movies with female leads. Where is Tremors or Barbarella?

every time someone asks me if they're spelling a word correctly and they get it right i have to restrain myself from saying "that is corrict!" in a terrible guy montgomery impression

We found a really cool giant virus inside the genome of a green alga, and it has a very strange infection cycle that is hard to detect.
There are reports going back decades of viral particles spontaneously appearing in pure cultures of green algae, so this phenomenon seems quite common but mostly overlooked.

160 years ago today, Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union forces in Richmond Virginia.
There are a lot of reasons the Confederates lost. Among them, its leaders didn't know how to run a functional economy.
Crippled by hyperinflation, trade deficits, & inability to industrialize, the Confederacy tore itself to shreds in just four years.
I would like to pull some content from Ukraine to my Friendica instance and found the following relay that has all hte relevent Ukrainien Mastodon instances:

However, `console relay add relay.social.net.ua/actor` gives me a `couldn't be added`. The reason might be that this is not a yukicmochi relay but based on some other code. Would you be so kind to have a look whether this can be fixed on my end or on theirs and how?
