Are you getting your hands on #TimelineApps lately? Same here. And again and again I have to state that #reeder is my app of choice in this field currently. This goes for the design and the functionality. I am struggling with the use of #surf and don't get very far. #tapestryapp looks quite nice, but I am unable to connect to any Bluesky account. Not even my own. #feeeed is free and has got some nice features, but I do not like the design very much. For me #reeder is the most reliable app here.

I want to use @surf@flipboard.social . I hear so many people saying so many great things about it, but I just can't make it work. Literally.

First, it's extremely slow, but maybe that's because it's in beta and has only one server, and I'm on the other side of the planet. maybe?

Then, where is my "home feed"? There is no home feed at all. I have a "mastodon following" feed, but it's desperately empty (I have linked my Mastodon account).
Today, there's an announcement that you can also link your Bluesky account except that I can't. I get an error message, and in my email, I get the code Bluesky usually sends when login somewhere, except that I have no way to enter it anyway.
In the latest update, there's a mention of "feed settings" but where are those? Not in the "settings"? Not if I click on three dots of a given feed.

What am I misunderstanding?

#Surf #Flipboard

Let’s take a look at the next installment from my visit to #SURF last week. After arriving at the Ross Campus, we walked from the end of the tram line to the first of the VERY large DUNE caverns. DUNE is the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment and will consist of huge neutrino detectors comprised from 17,000 tons of liquid argon. 800,000 tons of rock has been excavated to make the caverns.

THEY. ARE. HUGE.

Each is over 100m long.

I will share more information soon regarding the site visit to #SURF, a sister underground laboratory to #SNOLAB. I want to share now that the "Deep Talk" lecture I delivered last night at the SURF Visitor Centre was an incredible experience. I was especially excited to be able to personally interact with over a dozen audience members. This included an awesome small-group Q&A session after the formal event.
