As terrible as the old remote interaction workflow was, the new method of showing a URL and telling the user to copy and paste it is so much worse.
Follow, reply, boost, whatever. The pop-up to send you over to your own instance was a pain. But the pop-up telling you how to work around it is like putting up a sign telling people how to get to the back entrance instead of fixing the door.

This beetle landed on my car window as I was about to start, then climbed onto the top of the car. I had to look. (Too bad I don’t drive a VW Beetle.)

I went on a hike today, up in the coastal hills near Los Angeles. I took a trail along a (dry) streambed up through a canyon, which is variously known as George F. Canyon or Georgeff Canyon. No one knows who George (or Georgeff) was – they just found it on an old map when they dedicated the nature preserve.
There was SO. MUCH. POISON OAK. You really do not want to stray much from the path here!

NVIDIA's RTX 4090 card has been getting so hot its *power cables have been melting*! 😱
Apparently it's hard to tell whether the power adapter has actually snapped in, and if it's just a little bit off, it can come loose enough to overheat.

Got a text message allegedly from my ISP about an soon-to-be-due bill that was roughly *twice* my monthly bill, and click here to pay it.
Oh, hell no!
Then I remembered that last month they were revamping their online payment system and said they couldn't accept payments at that time, but wouldn't count them as late if paid with this month's bill.
Which means it's actually legit.
Still not using that link when I pay the bill, though.

Pokemon Go head canon
The reason Arlo, Sierra and Cliff all act like they’ve never lost a battle before isn’t just posturing. It’s that Giovanni neuralizes them after every defeat. If they can’t remember losing, it can’t affect their confidence, right?
(Not to be confused with head *cannon*, which of course you can find on Genesect.)

At-home Covid tests (good news)
Updated shelf life and expiration dates for at-home #covid tests, now that there’s been time to collect real-world data.
If you have an “expired” test lying around, check the list – it might still be usable.

Anyone know how to change the scroll wheel speed on Gnome Web or other Chromium browsers?
Anyone know how to change the scroll wheel speed on Gnome Web or other Chromium browsers?
I really like the way the Mastodon web UI works as a PWA installed to the desktop, but I’m really frustrated by the much slower scrolling compared to Firefox (which, annoyingly, won’t install a PWA)
It is so weird to see triple-digit boosts in the feed.

The funny thing is all the viral posts about how Mastodon is designed to make it harder for things to go viral.
With comment threads longer than I’ve seen in ages.
(Harder, of course, doesn’t mean impossible!)
(And yeah, I’m guilty of boosting some of them too!)

Time for me to stop contributing to the problem of over-saturating the feed with meta-commentary.

Multi-level pagination in 11ty?
All the documentation I’ve found on Eleventy pagination has to do with a single level, and I’ve got that working pretty well.
- Take a collection (ex. of tags) and create one page each
- Take a collection of posts and put 10 on each page and so on.
What I’d like to do now is combine them: loop over all the tags, and then paginate each tag’s collection so if I use some tags a lot, they don’t end up with 50 posts on the same page. Basically the way WordPress generates paginated views for each tag.
Something like this: (simplified, I know filters need to be in there)
pagination: data: collections size: 1 alias: tag pagination: data: tag size: 10 alias: tagpost
Though that didn’t seem to work.
Is there some way to do multi-level pagination, or would I need to take some other approach for the outer loop?
