As I understand it, it makes my post only show up when you're viewing my profile, and it doesn't show up in your timelines.

I like posting with visibility set to Unlisted when I feel like thinking out loud.

Though the temperature seems unpredictable outside, I'm glad to see that our house keeps it at a nice -39.3°F with no humidity

Not even 0% humidity, just no humidity at all.

Boy, I've had this clock for a very long time.

Then you can go to Transfer Money, select your bank, and then it works.

Or... looks like it worked 😀

Finally managed to transfer money out of into my bank account. The website is unhelpful; after various tries and some research, I found out that you can go to Settings > Payment Methods, then add a Bank account > Add Manually Instead, where you insert your bank's "routing number", which you can find on one of your checks between the MICR "transit" symbols ("⑆", they're not the symbol "1"). And insert your bank's "account number" (ignoring the MICR "⑈" symbol)

I know lots of folks don't use correct punctuation on line, but when you want to, how to do end a sentence so that the link still works? Do you put a space before the "." or "?", do you try to reword the sentence so the link isn't the last word, or do you put it at the end and not worry about your readers' application correctly identify the link vs. punctuation?

I've been very careful in how I approach pixelfed development in regards to Instagram and their ToS/trademarks.

This is why you can't crosspost, or otherwise access IG apis via Pixelfed.

They are grasping at straws at this point, along with banning Pixelfed urls, this behavior is desperate.

We must be doing something right 😉

Merry Christmas y'all! Wishing you all the best possible.

@survey I like it when advanced software intentionally differentiates between advanced users and inadvanced users; E.g. having the basic settings in the settings window but then having a section labeled "Additional settings" or "Advanced settings".

I also think it's a good idea to make dangerous settings only available in e.g. config files; that way, hopefully a lot of the users who shouldn't touch them are excluded if they don't put in a bit of effort.
