When I’m using the Micro.blog scheduler for @TIL, I feel like I’m having a good day.

I don’t understand it, or why you would do it. Maybe one day I will do it, but I don’t see that. I don’t understand why you would want to tell other people, people you don’t know, what is good or not so good in the moment.

Nice work, Dunfermline 😂

Truro is calming 😌

“New post on launch” is a phenomenal feature in @gluon. Mix with “Focus mode” and you have a brilliant app.

But why go through the effort of blogging at all? If you like to engage with the world of ideas, blogging is one of the best ways to do so. Writing and publishing forces you to solidify and clarify your thoughts.

Happy to see more major news organisations push against the influence of Twitter.

We need clearer lines on the web, rather than these blurry lines that only reward base attention-seeking and shallow celebrity.

8 gigs of RAM was a mistake…

To all of those who have fought against the pandemic: thank you. You have performed miracles and deserve so much more attention than you have been getting.

People who have continued to work, care workers, those in the healthcare industries, medicinal innovators; all amazing. 🙏

Earlier tonight was the third session of a new D&D campaign. Oof I forgot how rough level 1 can be.

Thankfully, we levelled up at the end of the session. 😌

Google got YouTube for an absolute steal.

What would happen if we didn’t tweet?

Making private promises. Remove the performance and all you have left is truth. Tiring but attainable. Difficult but substantial. I am holding myself to my own account, none other.

Metal detectors in the subway? I mean, sure, that makes sense.

The administration of running a home is like putting infinite scroll into a task manager.

I’m happy that Micro.blog doesn’t embed certain types of media in the timeline.

I’m happy that my feed reader doesn’t include inline replies like how Google did so in the past.

I’m happy that Glass doesn’t have traditional Likes.

Many of the problems with modern networking have arisen due to the environment, the bad features built into the system.

I do not want to repeat those mistakes by polluting the environment for a tiny crumb of supposed convenience.

To this day, Four Candles still has me in hysterics.
