Total. Fucking. Bullshit.

Here I am thinking about ways for Micro.blog to have a beta program of its own, meanwhile Apple is like “You can only submit two builds per day to Beta App Review”. The fact that the error message even exists is hilariously bad.

Great to see Kara Swisher calling out Matt Mullenweg after his latest round of toxic shit.

Beyond relieved to have abandoned WordPress years ago. I hope @manton sees all of this behaviour and understands how much of a “What Not To Do” playbook Mullenweg is running here.

In DDoS’ing Yourself with To-dos and Reminders, Barry Hess is uncomfortably relatable.

My venue of attack involves taking this part of my life as seriously as my other work. I’m going to sit down, on a regular basis, and process all of my reminders, takes, notes; it will be a priority-based system.

$1 per month for Micro.one is ridiculous value for money.

Thanks to @patrickrhone and his sweater talk I am now reminded that I must begin the process of acquiring an Aran garment.

I posted four issues of the bts newsletter in the past five weeks. Quite happy with that since it is an experimental outlet with no schedule; this is due to how actively I am working on TIL in private. Not long ago I wasn’t even doing that.

You can get the latest issue by following the newsletter.

If you’re interested in the new Micro.blog Collections feature and want to get started by first making a Collection, I posted the instructions for doing so.

Let’s see how well new posts are getting into the timeline.

I wonder who counts as an active user.

How quick are new posts?

Testing Collections shortcode in a post, for @pratik and co:

My word for 2025: FOUNDATION.

Listening to a remix of Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) by Les Gordon. 🎵

Finished a late night of work by sending out the new issue of bts and making two new blogs. Feels good 💪

Instead of publishing that snarky post I just wrote, I’m going to share this post of a Very Good Sweet Good Good Boy.

Now testing with a singular mention of @maique. Maybe two mentions was dangerous!

Another notification test for @maique, this time as a full post. Hi @maique 👋

For 2024 so far, there have been 277 entries on Micro.blog News.

That’s quite a productive year.

I sent out the third issue of the bts newsletter for TIL a few hours ago. This has quickly become a very good outlet for getting me back on track.

Several major changes today. If you have Mastodon cross-posting enabled, we now pull replies from your Mastodon account. There’s a new set of filter buttons on the web to show only Micro.blog, Mastodon, or Bluesky replies. Plus bug fixes, performance improvement, and note revision backups.

Combined with default encryption, this makes MB Notes compelling.

I need to do proper testing to verify the current state of things but the only other feature I’d consider crucial would be full offline access; that includes the type performance you get from plain text editors.

One of my big goals for @TIL is that whenever a new MB feature is released, I’ll publish related materials for it as quickly as possible; short posts first, followed by detailed stuff within a few days, and so on.

Not sure how long it’ll take me to get there but it’ll happen eventually.

A big thank you to the @cygnoir and the folks in the Micro.blog Analog Tools Meetup.

I haven’t attended since the first session — a failure I will amend at the next session — and yet am so happy whenever I get the invitation via email, and see posts about it on the timeline.
