Looking forward to the next release! 🎉 another small feature request: sleep timer for playlists - 30 min, 45 min, 60 min, end of album(?)

One prob unique request, “incognito” mode for album art. I like to keep Manet up while working at the office but sometimes album artwork can be a bit spicy 😂

@manetapp.bsky.social can you add widgets? For iOS lock screen, when locked and turned on the side on iOS. Also on MacOS, there appears to be a bug that doesn’t let you choose a playlist when adding a song to a playlist.

Watch it. This is a grown man w/ no history of mental health issues. & it’s everywhere. It’s ALREADY integrated into products that you & your kids use. They are not necessarily stand-alone products.

The new phone features in iOS 26 are a welcomed change. Hold assist is wonderful. No need to hear the crappy music on loop. My iPhone listens for the audio to change to spoken text, transcribes it in real time, and notifies me to pick up... such a nice quality of life improvement. #ios26 #apple

I am not an expert, but I have worked in and around computing systems since college and the fears articulated in the linked piece by @cwarzel.bsky.social & @ibogost.bsky.social are why I've been taking Musk's attacks so seriously.

1/ Here's my take on what's happening with DOGE.

I've got fed experience through contracting with Health & Human Safety, Head Start, The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and DOD. I get brought in when people need to get shit done. Other people here have way more experience than me.

@propublica.org will you all be creating a Mastodon account? Would be useful as it is decentralized and not billionaire owned and/or funded.

Musk’s Direct-to-Cell constellation and the U.S. election.

Background: This began in 2022 as “digging,” when Musk launched his bid to purchase Twitter at $20B over value, just 49 days after Putin invaded Ukraine.

A convo re NATO considering Article 5 over Cyber attacks prompted the original post.

Trump orders pause to all federal grants and loans It's a sweeping decision that could disrupt education and health care programs, housing assistance, disaster relief and a host of other initiatives that depend on billions of federal dollars.

“U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan granted a temporary halt after several advocacy groups argued the freeze would devastate programs ranging from health care to road construction. The court will revisit the issue on Monday.”

Ending federal grants. Why not end federal taxes at this point?! #uspol

Going to move and consolidate my blog posts to blot.im. I really like the ease of a markdown file based CMS.

May use Webflow for generating the layout code or may hand code it; want it lean. Any other useful tools for this?

Time to leave WordPress. #cms #blog #webdev #frontend #webflow #wordpress

Signal’s New Usernames Help Keep the Cops Out of Your Data Ephemeral usernames instead of phone numbers safeguard privacy — and makes the Signal messenger app even harder to subpoena.

When exchanging your @signal.org contact info over an insecure channel (like a text message or DM), it's a good idea to generate a Signal link (URL) from the app, then you should RESET that link after you connect with the other person on Signal.

Workflowy as a commonplace book. Bear notes as a journal. Was using Obsidian for my YouTube scripts however I’m switching to Logseq. I’ve been using Logeq for awhile now and really enjoy how it allows you to categorize notes easily. Yup, video coming soon.

Well, gone are the days of getting a government job as a person with disabilities. DEI is out the door. 😞

“It also penalizes hard-working Americans who want to serve in the FAA but are unable to do so, as they lack a requisite disability or skin color.”
