@KingShawn Ive been checking that YouTube channel for the Peggy’s Cove lighthouse at different times of day. I can easily understand why it’s such an interesting place to photograph.

They don’t seem to have a presence on Mastodon, which is unfortunate; but thank you to WANF Atlanta News First, for your live coverage of the 2026 Atlanta Pride Parade. Not just a few clips here and there, but from start to finish.

Can someone write an app for me that allows my husband to change my wake word? Apparently I miss parts of conversations.

@KingShawn Thanks for boosting my question about the iOS image. Someone who saw it because of your boost helped me find a copy of it! Much appreciated, big guy! 🫶

Does anyone recognize this image? I think it was an original Apple stock wallpaper/background image, but I don’t remember from what iOS version or what it was called. #Apple #iOS #wallpaper #images

“Plastics in drinking water are bad.” Here. 3D print this filter…….out of plastic……..to take the plastics out of your drinking water. Does anyone else see the irony in this? No? Just me. Ok. As you were. hackaday.social/@hackaday/117391531…

Why does macOS 27 insist on moving the icons for my external drive and my network share to some place on the desktop OTHER THAN where I put them?! This is infuriating! LEAVE MY DAMNED ICONS WHERE I PUT THEM! 🤬 #mac #macos27 #AppleSilicon #macosgoldengate

Every charted lighthouse of Nova Scotia on a night relief map, each one sweeping or flashing at its real rhythm and lighting the coast it guards. Hover a light for its character.

This makes me very sad. Allen has done so much over the years to help with TV repair, right to repair, and bringing to light the issues with how seemingly intentionally deceptive some television manufacturers are these days. If you can help, or at least boost/share among your own circles […]

Dear $DIETY, I hate dealing with people. I should know by now, not to use the “Contact Us” link on a company’s website; that it will always (at best) get me an automated form letter response that has NOTHING to do with the question I asked. Thank you to Taylor Farms, for confirming that. Again. 😡

As I think about the incredible tragedy that was 9/11/01 and remember the lives lost; I’d also like to acknowledge the kindness and compassion shown to so many who were displaced and stranded; by ordinary people in other countries around the world. My good friend @KingShawn has a lovely story […]

I’m noticing more and more YouTube videos where people have shelves of books behind them; having books turned around with the spine facing away from the camera. Makes me wonder what they don’t want people to know is in their library. 🤔

I saw a bumper sticker yesterday that has to be the most offensive one I have ever seen. I’m not even sure I can repeat what was on the sticker. What made it even more BIZZARE to me, was that I don’t know how to reconcile the message with the driver of the car.
