I really have to wonder what blocklist I somehow ended up on in BlueSky. I've been blocked by a surprising number of people despite having posted a grand total of 22 times, nothing particularly controversial, and not since 6/2024.

@JessTheUnstill Never used bsky, but I bet we'd be one many of the same lists. Yay, blocklist buddies! :3

Serious question for computer touchers:

What are the differences, if any, between "user interface" and "user experience"?

I guessed a few things just from the names, but many seem to use these terms interchangeably leading to confusion.

There is only one way to get a ton of likes on your Mastodon post. You must find a decades old piece of technology that only 12 people in the world own and write a 10,000 word essay on how to use it.
