Wow.

The Loops.video community has spent 666 hours of cumulative watch time on the new For You feed.

That's 27+ days of non-stop watch time!

And yes, we do store the watch time in seconds for each video you watch in the For You feed, that helps the algorithm determine your interest.

Think that's creepy? Hide or avoid the For You feed, we don't track watch time on the local or following feed.

The best of both worlds, with you in control, as it should be โค๏ธ

Cyan: Hey everyone please buy us stuff on our throne I set up!!!

Me: But what do we do about items that only ship in the US? And these ship to Japan but the shipping is more than the item!! We need to set the address or stuff won't even arrive. What about taxes? Apparently true gifts to streamers count under gift tax with a ยฅ1.1M exemption but stream-related stuff like that Nvidia or a keyboard are probably a business expense so I need to count them as misc income and then expense them when filing taxes. And these items you have on the list aren't even available any more! Also gotta set up the Stripe for payouts. And is this item even allowe-

Letโ€™s be honest, Ring was already some technocratic, dystopian BS, but if you needed a reason to finally, finally kill it with fire, hereโ€™s your reason: Ring is partnering with Flock to help ICE spy on you and your neighbors for the government ๐Ÿ‘€

'Hullo, hillo, holla': The 600-year-old origins of the word 'hello'

It's 200 years since the word "hello" was first used in print - though its roots date back to the 15th Century. How has the language of greetings evolved - and what does it tell us?

In #Flancia we'll meet @flancian@social.coop
Public

@andypiper hi Andy! Any news on when Mastodon will be willing to accept a PR to make the max post size configurable?

Context: Social.coop is at the point in which we need to monkey-patch this and take the associated risk (now and on every upgrade) or lose users who, in frustration with our default limit, have announced they will migrate to other instances. I find it quite sad we have reached this point and I hope there is a better way forward.

I just discovered (and tried) this wonderful piece of software

github.com/houmain/keymapper

It allows remapping your keyboard in many ways, and it's controlled from a simple configuration file (so, you can prepare one for your disabled friend).

You can, for example, remap the keyboard to only use its right half, if the left hand is dysfunctional (similar to the mirrored keyboard I made, github.com/clackups/qmk_firmwa ).

Also, it should be useful for , to map, for example, AWSD to different keys.

Brimham Rocks in deep winter.

It's here in the Nidderdale National Landscape that you can a collection of some of the most fascinating rock formations in all the UK.

Even better when gently dusted with snow and ice.

Plenty more photos from this day are waiting for your impatient eyeballs, right here -> https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2026/1/17/brimham-rocks-nidderdale-national-landscape-winter ๐Ÿ‘

A close-up, low-angle shot looks across a series of large, rounded gritstone boulders in the foreground towards the distant Eagle rock formation at Brimham Rocks. The foreground boulders are heavily textured with moss and lichen, their upper surfaces blanketed in a crisp, white layer of frost. On the closest rock, a circular pattern has been traced into the frost, revealing the dark stone beneath. In the mid-ground, a sparse cluster of leafless silver birch trees stands against a backdrop of more massive, weathered rock stacks. To the right, the Eagle formation rises prominently, its distinctive top-heavy shape silhouetted against a clear, vibrant blue sky. The low winter sun illuminates the scene from the side, creating long shadows and highlighting the sparkling texture of the frozen ground.A wide landscape shot captures the Blacksmith's Anvil, a dramatic gritstone rock formation at Brimham Rocks under a clear blue winter sky. The central focus is a large, weathered tor that tapers at its waist before flaring out into a wide, flat top resembling an anvil, its upper surfaces dusted with a fine layer of white frost or light snow. To the left, several other rounded, tiered boulders cluster together, also showing signs of frost. The foreground consists of uneven, sandy ground covered in patches of moss and a light dusting of snow, with low-lying brown bracken and a small evergreen shrub nestled amongst the rocks. The low winter sun casts long, soft shadows and bathes the scene in a warm, golden light, highlighting the rugged textures of the stone. In the background, a hazy horizon of distant trees sits beneath the vast, pale blue sky.A low-angle vertical shot captures a towering, weathered gritstone outcrop at Brimham Rocks under a bright, clear blue sky. In the foreground, a large, rounded boulder is partially covered with a dusting of white frost, revealing patches of dark, mossy stone underneath. To the left, a dense, reddish-brown heather bush huddles against the base of the rocks. The main rock formation rises steeply, its surface etched with horizontal layers and deep fissures from centuries of erosion. To the right, another large, rounded rock stack is visible, its top also dusted with frost. Bare, spindly branches of silver birch trees peek out from behind the central formation. The scene is bathed in the warm, low light of a winter sun, casting soft shadows and highlighting the rugged, ancient textures of the landscape.A wide, low-angle shot captures the dramatic "Castle Rocks" at Brimham Rocks on a crisp winter day. Two massive, weathered gritstone stacks frame a narrow passage, their surfaces heavily layered and textured with deep horizontal grooves and patches of vibrant green moss. The stack on the left towers upwards, its rounded edges catching the warm, low sun, while the stack on the right is partially covered in a dusting of white frost and snow. In the centre, a lone, delicate silver birch tree with bare, spindly branches stands atop a smaller rock formation, silhouetted against the bright, hazy sky. The foreground is a mix of dark earth, patches of frost-covered grass, and small tufts of dry heather, leading the eye through the rocky gap. The soft, golden light of the winter sun creates a serene and ancient atmosphere across the rugged Yorkshire landscape.

RE: mastodon.social/@techglimmer/1

"This is what digital sovereignty actually looks like. Not in some abstract manifesto writing way but in the everyday sense of knowing what your phone is doing and having the power to tell it no."

exactly as I have been saying for YEARS.

thank you for hitting the nail on the head with this review, @techglimmer

so excited to reclaim our digital future when this product is more widely released!!

Does anybody else find it annoying that tech consents donโ€™t have a โ€œnoโ€ option anymore? Like Venmo just sent a push notification asking if I want to open a debit card and the options were โ€œYesโ€ and โ€œMaybe later.โ€ Not later, Venmo. Stop asking!
