@JohnPhilpin It’s worse than that: how will we ever effect changes in our affect?
@dave You know that’s a link to an Amazon page?
@manton Thanks, the search works now. But when I tried to add the book to my ‘Currently Reading’ shelf, it didn’t work. The three books that were already on there are still there, but not the new one. I was able to create a new post with it, though.
@manton OK, thanks.
@adders What is ‘liquid content’?
@manton I think there’s something wrong with bookshelves for me. No book I search for now is found, except ones that are already on my shelves.
I was trying to add Caledonian Road by Andrew O’Hagan, and when it wasn’t found, I tried Hamnet. Not found even though there’s a film!
OK, go less obscure(!) Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone? Nah. Try Sorcerer’s instead? No joy.
@manton Ah, sorry, I was being an idiot. I was looking for the button at the top of the main body of the page, but I missed it, big and prominent, in the sidebar!
That said, the ‘New’ button for Pages is blue and at the top right, and I was kind of looking for something like that.
On the other other hand, having it in the sidebar means it’s available everywhere, which is good.
I obviously don’t start posts from the web very often!
@manton Possibly related, I don’t seem to have a ‘New Post’ button anywhere!
@manton OK, that makes sense.
@manton Have we gone to 600 characters before being truncated and linked now?
@manton I’d like that even for my own internal links. A lot got borked because of how I migrated to m.b. I add redirects to fix them as I come across them, but a report would be great.
@caseyliss It’s actually pretty good of past-Casey to leave that note, I’d say. Better than not leaving it, anyway.
@manton That makes sense. I’m otherwise always impressed with the search, though. It’s super fast.
@matthewlang What are these filters of which you speak?
@bobwertz Yeah, Into is first, then Across, and there’s going to be Beyond. Unless you mean there’s another one planned after Beyond?
@bobwertz I may have selected the wrong film, then. I thought this was the second of the animated ones, which ends on a cliffhanger.
@JohnPhilpin No unsubscribing for you!
@manton I can’t tell if you’re being ironic there! Never seen a self-driving car over here in the UK.
@caseyliss @jamesthomson Who uses half degrees? A celsius degree difference isn’t that much. 21, 22, still nice. 3, 4, still bloody cold. In fact, outside a physic class, I’ve only ever heard fractional degrees used with Fahrenheit. ‘My temperature is ninety-eight point four,’ Lou Reed sings on ‘Average Guy’, just as an example.
(And my comma/quote placement there is deliberate and correct. 😀)
@manton That’s great, many thanks!
@manton I can’t resize pictures on the iOS M.b app, and I’m sure that used to be possible. Tap on a photo, it goes full-screen. Pinch out to zoom in: nothing happens. I’m on iOS 26.2 and the latest version of the app.
@JohnPhilpin Good point. Distances tend to be greater in N America, of course.
Not familiar with The Vogues (though certainly The Pogues); unless you mean the various editions of the magazine?
@timapple And, digging a little deeper (I’ve never used Go before): go run mb works. I get the prompt to set up my token. So with a little judicious aliasing I should be able to make it work.
