    I&amp;#39;m really enjoying the 3rd party web client semaphore.social for Mastodon lately. It&amp;#39;s simple, the timeline is centered on the screen without any distracting sidebars, there are lots of handy keyboard shortcuts, and while switching accounts takes a few more clicks than would be ideal, the advantages outweigh that for me. I did use a userstyle to hide the persistent new post box at the top, but that&amp;#39;s only because I am currently using my keyboard to navigate and it was i...

    I can&amp;#39;t get YouTube ReVanced to work anymore 😭 (Yes I&amp;#39;ve tried updating it; the problem is that I can&amp;#39;t log in to the account that has all my playlists)

    Polish has so many cases and confusingly similar word endings 😭 When I was learning Latin in school as a wee little teenager, I actually enjoyed memorising all the various declension and conjugation tables for some reason. But that was before handwriting became painful and also I had physical text books! I don&amp;#39;t learn such things very well from a screen. Gonna have to hope that repeated exposure will simply make it stick

    I&amp;#39;ve been looking at userscripts for Duolingo and there are so many dedicated to cheating. I don&amp;#39;t understand this - if you don&amp;#39;t actually want to learn a language, why are you on Duolingo in the first place?!

    @skye sehr faszinierend, weil ein kleiner teil davon momentan bei mir ähnlich ist und der ganze rest dann nur so &amp;quot;?????&amp;quot; &amp;quot;weibliche erfahrungen&amp;quot; sind für mich eher etwas, was mir mein leben lang verwehrt wurde und ich krieg echt panik, wenn von mir erwartet wird, dass ich diese verstehen würde! oder frauen im allgemeinen. wenn frauen (cis oder trans) aus ihrem leben erzählen, denk ich immer nur so &amp;quot;oh wow spannend, kenn ich alles gar nicht&amp;quot;...

    Minor name change because I want to move away from using an English nickname, but for now it makes a decent fake last name

    The person who invented &amp;quot;camp and chill&amp;quot; events in Merge Dragons: you know what this game needs? Obnoxious, echoing trumpet sounds. Our players are gonna love that

    I think by now it&amp;#39;s safe to say that Mastodon isn&amp;#39;t working out for me. The mere existence of the local and federated timelines stresses me out because my posts always seem to attract Reply Guys™ exactly at the worst times but never when I have an actual question. I&amp;#39;ve also had random strangers boost my mundane life updates for no discernible reason (creepy) while my jokes and info posts largely went ignored. Making all my posts private would not fix the problem. I do wa...
