Think I may have found my solution - uBar. I have downloaded it and am trying it out, and honestly, the Windows taskbar-like aspect of it appeals to me (I use Windows 11 at my job). It's much more functional than the stock Mac dock, and I can stick it where I want it and it stays put. I will probably go ahead and purchase, once my trial is up.
I have a Macbook Pro connected to an external display. I prefer to have my dock on the larger external display, but when I boot up (or when my Mac wakes from sleep) the dock is on the Macbook display. I have tried in vain to find a way to keep it on the external display, or at least more easily move it there, other than the standard "move the mouse pointer to the bottom of the screen twice" method. Can this be accomplished with Shortcuts or an Automator action?

I do use Keyboard Maestro, but don't know how I triggered it. That gives me something to go on though.
I'm not sure what I did to summon this little window, or how do get rid of it. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks.

Oh, excellent! I originally started out trying to install WriteFreely with Ngnx, but kept running into problems, so I gave up. Never thought to look in that category - thanks!
I am thinking about setting up a simple blog on a spare Raspberry Pi using [YunoHost](https://yunohost.org). I want it to be federated (of course), and it looks like my only choices are WordPress or Ghost. Are there any other lightweight CMS out there that are federated that appear on [this list](https://apps.yunohost.org/catalog?category=publishing)? Thanks.

I knew about this, but the problem was that my Macbook is positioned below my external monitor, so unless I found just the right spot, the cursor would just move from one screen to the other, without changing where the dock was. However, after reading this reply, I tried again and found the sweet spot near the bottom corner of the screen that allowed me to at least move the dock to the larger monitor. I do wish there was a way to disable that behavior, though. I hate it when I accidentally move it. Thanks..
I have a Macbook Pro, which has an external display connected via a USB-C dock, with the Macbook positioned to the right of the external display and the external display set as my primary display. I spilled some coffee on my Bluetooth keyboard over the weekend, and some of the keys weren't working, so I moved the Macbook so that I could use its keyboard. I found that I like this setup better, as the Macbook's screen is closer and easier for my aged eyes to see. The only problem is that my Dock remains on the Macbook display, no matter what I do, and I would prefer it on the larger, external monitor. I tried repositioning it in the settings, and I can get it to move to the external, but as soon as I move the Macbook back below the external, the Dock jumps back to the Macbook. Is there something I am missing?

OK, I think I have this straightened out. The situation was that only my first couple of PixelFed posts showed up in my Mastodon timeline, anything more recent did not. Somewhere along the way, I unfollowed and refollowed my Pixelfed account, to no effect. Today, I went into my Mastodon settings and saw that my Pixelfed follow was "Pending". I canceled it and followed my Pixelfed account again, and all is well.
I am trying to follow my own Pixelfed account on Mastodon, but even though I search for, find, and follow my Pixelfed account, none of my Pixelfed posts appear in my Mastodon timeline. I am unsure if the problem lies with Pixelfed, Mastodon or both. Anyone else have a similar experience? I am @5teverin0@mastodon.social, and @5teverin0@pxlmo.com. Thanks.

I have to say, as something if a social media virgin, I am puzzled by #4. I have never been a Facebook, Instagram or Twitter user. Previous to getting into the Fediverse, the only platform I engaged with that could be considered social media was Reddit, and I left that behind because of the whole brewhaha over third-party clients.
Since finding my way here, I have become an enthusiastic user of Mastodon, Pixelfed and Lemmy. I could not have imagined that it would be easier to acclimate myself and i have not encountered any barriers to entry, or at least I have not recognized any.
Is my experience atypical?

Agreed. This is my position, exactly. Although I do consider myself to be an agnostic atheist, I am open to the idea that there may be a god or gods. I just don't think that it is likely, and so I conduct myself as if there are not. The main point is, l don't know, and I don't think it's possible to ever know for certain. That's why I qualify my atheism (or maybe nontheism is more accurate) with an "agnostic". If people were completely honest, I would wager we would find that most of the people in church every week are actually agnostic, but agnostic theists, rather than agnostic atheist
