Strata as second brain.

Notes are private by default, end-to-end encrypted across all platforms, with a special companion app named Strata for iOS. (Android coming soon.)

Off to a flying start with this launch ð

Given the excellent launch of the new Notes feature for MB, with the companion Strata app for iOS (Android soon), I think it’s a good time to take a look at Vincent’s latest post about the ways to support his work.
One of my favourite parts of a big new MB feature is adding a whole new section in Bike for stuff to do with TIL, which I currently am doing so. Bonus: the latest update (“Notes”) has the potential to make easier a planned improvement to TIL itself.
The new features, “single-page web site” and Notes, would look good on the MB homepage.
Vincent asked:
I am still very much of the same opinion that replacing “insert popular social network here” with something more open which behaves and looks very similar… isn’t the way. Maybe just me. Thoughts?
To me, it seems a lot of problems arise for people when they’ve confused their personal issues with systemic social structures.
tbh a lot of the hand-wringing I’ve seen from people tends to not only be inaccurate but 99% of the time just basic projecting with approximately 0 effort applied to introspection from the individual.
And I mean for all social networks. From the moment I started using the web more than 20 years ago.
Could we do better as a group? Yes, of course â this is always true, and the point of existing if we’re being honest about it. However the web changed the entire definition of that idea (“as a group”) and we’re still in the earliest stages of that process; it honestly feels like a lot of the criticism or disillusionment is way too harsh for such an early stage.
(edit: the critique I have for “hand-wringing” I also apply to myself â I am never happy when I fall into this trap and work on removing it from my life as much as I can; our new home already helps)
It’s fair to say our recent move has been a success. We both feel better, the pets are quickly settling in, and I can already sense that my own thinking and capability for just about all of my work is elevated.
Your environment is so much more important than I see people giving it credit.

I just lost a comment I made on a WordPress site because it recognised the email I gave and was all “another user has this email - is this you? ðĪŠ” â and once I logged in it then proceeded to wipe my comment as if I had never typed it.
Good job, Automattic. ð
There have been some interesting posts circulating on “self-censorship”. They’ve all been well worth the time taken to read.
I would like to have a separate experience for following travel blogs. Off the top of my head;
Getting all sorts of important tasks complete with this cosy lofi mix providing the perfect ambience. ðķ

I’ve come to realise the main drive of what I’m doing with @TIL â beyond the mission statement â and for which I need to begin full advocacy:
People. Not technicalities.
I’m going to relentlessly maintain that focus in the work, and the message.

That’s pretty damned good.
I’ve decided I don’t have time for overly contentious Mastodon people. It’s another flavour of 4chan.
Huh… the web site field in my MB profile got changed without my input or notice; /activitypub/SimonWoods was added to the URL somehow.
Firefox now supports creating and using passkeys stored in the iCloud Keychain on macOS.
WIP post: “Why Micro.blog does more than you think, with less than you remember, whilst maintaining credibility against the established destructive trend of online publishing.”
It’s not a snappy title, I’ll admit.
The MB Help forums look different…
Maybe I’m just an old man but I find announcements for exclusive software to be much less interesting than I had in the past.
