@npub1sen…ycjl asana’s not great, but it’s far from the worst! i speak as someone who has been on teams using everything from wrike to teamwork projects to jira to airtable

let my ivory subscription lapse to see if i could get used to using ice cubes all the time. made ice cubes feel quite a bit better by tweaking settings, but something just feels right about ivory that i miss! not sure it feels $20 good though. trying to pinpoint what the things are in ice cubes that make its UX inferior, but it does. the icon set and typographical things are part of it, i think.
anyone else get what i’m talking about?
what’re y’all using for mastodon clients these days?

@npub1744…ehw8 i have a bad habit of sorta explaining my jokes after i make them (or hear them). “yeah, we got it” my wife says. i’m not fully sure why i do it. it’s not because i think others aren’t smart enough to get it. i think i’m trying to confirm whether what i got out of it is what other people did too, since i seem to perceive and communicate things differently so often

@npub1744…ehw8 this is the type of observation i find useful but that also makes me feel like maybe i am autistic because i find it useful

buried my friend and former bandmate michael nicholson on thursday. he had cancer back when we recorded the salvation navy, and was clear of it a decade ago. but it came back with a vengeance.
died last friday at hospice in brantford. left behind a wife and 9 year old child. brutal stuff.
here’s some old photos with both of us! (he’s in the red toque, hugging me from behind in the first one)

@npub1vrv…97jm because she doesn’t want to disrespect their flag by walking across it?

@npub1744…ehw8 yeah, suppose so. they used to make clean versions of movies so they could be shown on planes or certain TV stations, that sort of thing. but a lot more radio

some of the music streaming services do have clean versions of albums, which i appreciate. but no video streaming services? i know multiple people whose dads hand-censored their VHS movies so the kids could watch too, and dads are still dads, so seems like there'd be demand

@npub1744…ehw8 ah maybe that’s why i had that impression — one of my best friends from university is frisian, so no actual hate here

@npub1744…ehw8 is the label in question “frisian”? bc you frisians are all the same
