Dyckia (probably brevifolia, 縞剣山) that I got for free from a gardening store because of sun damage in 2023 (first pic)

Versus now, two years later 📈🎉

Demonstrated thusly

It looks like the point of the margin is to leave space for this threading decoration.

Toot showing the wasted left margin

The new toot layout on the Mastodon iOS app is bad 😕

Horizontal space is at a premium, and they waste an entire avatar’s worth with a pointless left margin.

@hornet I quite enjoyed the first; looking forward to the second!

A dark, atmospheric background from "Hollow Knight: Silksong" features Hornet, a character with a distinctive white mask and a dark red cloak. Prominently displayed above Hornet is the text “THE FEDIVERSE SILKSONG GIVEAWAY SECOND EDITION,” rendered in large, elegant letters adorned with decorative flourishes, conveying a festive and special vibe.

Shaw! 🪡

You asked for it — now it's here again! One month after the first round, it's time for another giveaway. (Bluesky users: see the comment.)

Stocked up on veggies for the first time in a while

I attended a bonsai class the other day at a local nursery. The concept was to use common, native species; I chose an Itea (ズイナ; but I’m not sure which species, so it might be a North American one) because the leaves were so beautiful.

I’ve been interested […]

Took my son banana picking at Kintarō Farm near Odawara. It was a lot of fun!

They grow Gros Michel bananas, which are generally hard to get, but are better tasting than the usual Cavendish banana you get at the supermarket. The story of how they got their […]

It seems like it's not possible to reply with a quote toot. In other words a quote toot can only start a new thread.

It would be nice to be able to quote mid-thread, like here:

Tephrocactus geometricus on the move. At this point I think it’s safe to say we have a new segment on our hands.

Look how it seems to have little dew drops on the tips of the spines.

Found someone happy to see me this morning 😂

I thought there was a way to upload a video and get it to autoplay (it would be badged as "GIF" despite not being an actual GIF). But neither the iOS app nor the web interface let me do that with this video.

Everyone loves a Tradescantia ‘Purple Heart’ flower 🌸

Disgusting cowardice from Japan. If the UK can do it, Japan can do it.

It’s so hard to go on knowing that as bad as everything is right now, it’s only going to get worse from here

I've long held that anyone invoking "cancel culture" unironically is either stupid or lying, and nothing so far has contradicted this.

(I hate to admit that I got the "stupid or liar" framework from Adam Carolla. He was funny once, a long time ago, and I gave him the benefit of the […]

I hate the framing that Jimmy Kimmel was "canceled".

"Canceling" is social consequences for odious behavior. ABC apparently suspended Kimmel because the US government threatened to revoke their broadcasting license, supposedly because he was critical of Trump or Trump just doesn't like […]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@amake/115225678099296681

What if I mimic the apparent underlying text structure visible in the iOS client?

Does it work to simply paste a link to a toot?

https://mastodon.social/@amake/115225678099296681

But not (yet) on iOS

RE: https://mastodon.social/@amake/115225677141534336

yes

so can i quote toot now?

I hate to say it but our canary is now Jimmy Kimmel. If anything happens to him in the next four years, we’ve hit full blown fascism and need to leave the mine immediately
