Tik Tok is next to tell you what kind of links you can put on your online profile. "TikTok has begun blocking links to app stores in creators’ bios, [....] The block [...] also extends to third-party link-in-bio solutions like Linktree." And this is why you need to own your web presence, even if it's a basic, single page hosted on https://neocities.org or https://glitch.com. https://techcrunch.com/2023/03/08/tiktok-begins-blocking-links-to-app-store-pages-from-creators-bios/ via @Sarahp@mastodon.social #IndieWeb #OpenWeb #news #TikTok

I just tried to press Windows+S instead of Windows+D to navigate back to my desktop after doing something in my browser, and kids, this is why that second mug of coffee is really important and should not be skipped by me.

This toy is a twofer.
Summer spends a few minutes going around and around uncovering the hidden food.
My husband coaches from his recliner.
It keeps them both entertained.
With superb coaching and boundless enthusiasm, the food was found and consumed.
Rainy day California north coast antics.

Please boost for reach: Fedora Linux is focusing on accessibility for the next five years. I’d love to see people with disabilities, very much including blind people, comment on this. If you’re interested in Linux, or free and open source software, your voices are valuable. I hope Fedora finds our voices valuable too.
