I’m doing well with Spelling Bee as well. Related: TIL you can use the letters more than once. -_-

Misread carton as cartoon in today’s NYT Mini. Looks like one coffee isn’t getting the job done.
Dealing with the dregs of the move today. We’re so close to having exactly 0 moving boxes in the house.
As each of these tasks is completed I gain more space for working on TIL. Then, over time we’ll eventually upgrade the desk space and even more will possible.
Progress. Inexorable progress.

TIL the word “canard”, thanks to Puzzmo.
Improved a few things with the recommendations page linked from a Micro.blog profile. Now includes an OPML download link too.
Excellent work. Raising the visibility and ease of access to OPML files strengthens web feeds as an alternative to silo feeds.
I was looking into creating OPML files for @TIL; I’m still going to do so, only now I do not need to wait until I have accomplished this to launch related features. Instead, I’ll immediately use this MB mechanism for those features.
Currently in an anti-big-tech kinda mode. It comes and goes in waves.
Seen some indie-bashing going on Micro.blog lately. Bit disappointing to see a lack of perspective from folks who otherwise seem capable of understanding the bigger picture, and remembering just how awful things have become with a small number of massive American companies in charge of everything.
Indie devs:
I hope you can stop using “we” when there’s only one of you.
I hope that decision doesn’t actually work as a method to encourage or reassure people.
I hope this is one of many small paper-cuts that can be removed from the world of the indie internet dev.
Idea: Use the new MB Recommendations feature to make an expanded version of Micro Monday.
Itβs a way to curate a list of favorite sites to link to from your blog.
β Manton, Recommendations and blogrolls on Micro.blog
One of my favourite parts of this feature is that the recommendations lists are available on a web page. Expected yet still great implementation which favours the web.
I think my dislike for banking websites is becoming greater than that which I have for ad farms.
In a few months The Fellowship will be seventy-years old.
The big wigs at Apple should take a leaf out of Jen Simmons’ book.
It would be a much wiser approach as compared to “Web developers will sacrifice your children to the devil.”
D&D session zero tonight πππ²
I’m not a fan of the approach: “lol I used the Accessibility Description to tell more of the joke that I’m telling in the post”
So you decided to be an ableist asshole and want a pat on the back for it? Cool.
Muted somebody on MB whom I had previously un-muted.
There is a type of trolling that is most corrosive to a community, and it comes in a form that is not obvious. These people are skilled at hiding their crappy behaviour behind sets of well-chosen words, a skill honed from being overly online.
