#feditip: add .rss to the end of most pages you see on a Mastodon server to get an RSS feed for your RSS reader.

There's a distressing trend in computing where the computer tries to prevent you from having to know anything, and in doing so creates a LOT more work for you. I first noticed it when I was working with a content management system called Joomla about ten years ago. A content management system or CMS is a kinda framework of scripts to (theoretically) make running a website easier. Instead of making a bunch of pages like about.html, faq.html, contact.html, tablesaws.html, you'd write your... |
@ifixcoinops Castle Greyskull finally got satellite.
@ifixcoinops Hasbro and Paramount have had a Rom the Space Knight movie in development for years now. Perhaps that will help pave the way if they finish it. I know Rom doesn’t have a mustache, but it’s a place to start
@ifixcoinops I say we just go for it.
