no, you accidentally stayed up until 1am watching Mitski music videos

The reason Apple added systemwide dark mode to macOS before/instead of iOS is such a mystery to me.

There's huge demand for it, and it should be easier: the fact that apps are (mostly; iPad slightly complicates it) full screen would eliminate the problem of some applications/documents having bright white backgrounds in an overall dark interface. On an iPhone, the screen can be all-or-nothing dark since it's displaying a single app/document.

I would like to enable Mastodon's full-text search feature, but I doubt this virtual machine has the RAM to handle it 🙁: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/administration/optional-features/#full-text-search

The next VM up the list would be $15/month, which is quite a lot. Probably not worth it.

Another recommendation request: tree trimming/removal company recommendations, anyone?

Okay, Ann Arbor homeowners: I need recommendations for an (exterior) house painter.

My tiredness today is partly due to the DST switch and partly because the power was flickering at my house at 3am last night, and every time it came back on my doorbell rang, until I finally accepted that I had to get out of bed and disable it.

A bad combination 💤

also, winter hats indoors

The DTE Insight app gets me. I'm all about heated mattress pads, toe warmers, excessive fleece blankets, thick socks, you name it.

(I'm always cold.)

Hey, I can actually endorse something from MLive: https://www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/2019/02/with-voucher-system-broken-ann-arbor-needs-real-action-on-affordable-housing.html

social media update: actually, Screen Time limits alerts me after 30 minutes on IG! I thought I'd set it to an hour, but I'm "only" spending 30 minutes a day there instead

Mastodon asks "what's on your mind?"

I've been largely successful at cutting most social media out of my life. I still spend an hour a day on Instagram (which I know thanks to iOS 12), but I barely check Facebook or Twitter. I think this is a good thing for my sanity & my sense that time is limited.

This is weird since I now _run_ a social media site…but this one is a nice place!
