Started following HackerNewsBot. Now it's hard to find any other toots on my timeline.

Difference between 'private' and 'secret': this sign wouldn't have been there If the breakfast was secret.

Not watching the Big Game because I don't want to watch a bunch of guys give each other concussions (and perhaps chronic traumatic encephalopathy). Instead, I have some Ikea furniture to assemble! :)

Tired of push notifications from mobile apps that boil down to "use our app".

Looks like the fixed the problem with home timelines of inactive users blanking out. Hope mastodon.social picks up this fix soon! https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/6251

My home timeline keeps showing up as empty. Wonder if others are seeing that.

Well, not entirely empty any more since my own toot is there...

Hmm, my "home" timeline is empty even though I'm following people who are tooting. Wonder why.

Sad about the impending closure of local bike shop I do business at. Once again, a local business can't keep up with escalating rents in Silicon Valley.

Wow, has my timeline gotten quiet. Guess I haven't been contributing much either, though.

Happy Canada Day, everyone. While I'm not there for #Canada150 (and wish I could be), I was there (parents took me) for #Canada100 -- although we didn't have hashtags then. I also just realized that Mom was born in Canada only 3 weeks after #Canada50.

Trying to transfer pictures between two Windows 10 machines using Homegroup. This is so easy to use (not) that I'm just going to use USB sticks.

TIL there is a US postage stamp featuring flan: https://store.usps.com/store/browse/productDetailSingleSku.jsp?categoryNav=false&navAction=push&navCount=0&atg.multisite.remap=false&categoryId=buy-stamps&productId=S_672704

If you're a Comcast customer, be sure to check https://www.comcastroturf.com/ to see if Comcast is filing anti-net neutrality comments using your name and address. /cc @cargron @munin

If software updates came with estimated install times, I'd be able to plan my life much better.

Me: "Have you heard about that ransomware that's going around? You really need to make sure your systems are patched."

Friend: "Can you come over and do that for us tomorrow morning? I'd really appreciate it."

Happy to help, but not I'm going to be careful about who else I warn lest I get too many volunteer opportunities.

Thanks, everybody. I didn't get that 'boost' is re-toot.
