@cbowns @annika do you doubt my commitment to the asteroid?

fingers crossed!!! https://arstechnica.com/space/2025/02/thanks-to-nasa-you-probably-wont-have-to-worry-about-this-asteroid-killing-you/

Interstellar (2014) in IMAX was incredible. One of the best moviegoing experiences of my life. Highly recommend.

@kyleve Tim Apple, cook me up some god damn “never ask again” checkboxes

@cbowns I think it’s because you only see favs that originate on your home server, unless the post is also on your server? You can usually (always?) see the total amount by viewing the post at its original location. I agree this is poorly documented and not exposed at all through basically every client.

It’s extremely weird that you pay for ChatGPT Plus to get access to GPT-4, but you can just get it through MS Copilot for free? How does this.... make sense?

My best and only real email tip: A single server-side filter which moves any message that includes the word “unsubscribe” to a folder labeled “List”. I’ve done this for years and it has very, very few false positives (real humans rarely use the word) and it prevents so much unimportant stuff from hitting your inbox.

@annika yeah, anything would be better than an immediate destructive action with no undo.

I accidentally blocked mastodon.social and lost half my followers because of it. Incredible self-own, well played mastodon

Ah, this also seems to have removed a ton of people I was following. Very cool
