Turns out Goldeneye for Nintendo Switch Online was enough to persuade me into opting for the expansion pack. 🎮
Now that Mastodon usernames on Micro.blog no longer show the hostname, let’s see…
There’s @viticci@mastodon.social
And then @viticci@mastodon.macstories.net
huh… weird, it’s still showing the whole name on the Mac app.
… it’s important that Micro.blog stays true to its blogging roots and unique take on social media, rather than shifting to be a Twitter or Mastodon clone. We don’t need a monoculture with all apps looking exactly the same.

Mozilla are now forcing a button into the toolbar for Firefox.
One of the main reasons I use this browser is because of the relatively easy customisation. Flexibility is paramount.
… sigh. Another reason, once I’ve figured out the Micro.blog issue that I’ll go back to Safari.
The updated Micro.blog homepage is brilliant. Great job, @jean, @vincent, and @manton!
I’ve increasingly made use of the word “publishing” whenever I talk about actions we take on the web, especially those in full public view.
I believe the word “post” or [Insert Brand Name Here] strips our actions of their meaning and removes the intentionality inherent within.

TIL about Whoop and now I know that I definitely lack any interest in getting a new Apple Watch.
A fitness tracker without the screen and screen-based computing? Yes please.
I enjoyed reading the first week of Jason Becker’s new project, “Letters”. I’m already excited about the notion of this type of project spreading throughout Micro.blog.
Tiffany White has organised a fundraiser, having been left in a bad situation thanks to… well, the world really. Let’s help her get back on her feet!
- Her post in which she explains the situation.
- The GoFundMe campaign page.
- @tiff on Micro.blog.
Good luck, Tiffany. 💪
As well as the 2.7 release of the Mac app today, there are a couple of other very nice touches to Micro.blog. Auto-linking usernames will hopefully now involve fewer people using workarounds.
Enjoyed Andy Nicolaides' post Being An Introvert. I’m unsure if I would call myself an introvert, however much of what Andy has written here feels familiar.
Jamie Thingelstad’s post On Audience Capture is well worth a read. This is a good example as to why he is one of my favourite writers here on Micro.blog.
We didn’t buy Flickr because we thought it was an amazing business opportunity—it was losing staggering amounts of money, and nobody else seemed interested in the potential.

This foundation is a very good thing. Long overdue.
Judging by the number of people using omg.lol in this conversation alone I’ve gone from maybe covering it for @TIL at some point to definitely covering it sooner rather than later.
Delighted to have seen Adam’s work progress so well over the past year.
Maybe I’m hopelessly naive, or too generous towards developers but the Release notes section of the Flickr blog looks pretty good to me, specifically in light of where the platform had been before it was bought by SmugMug.
Some of the criticism in this thread is quite harsh.
Anyways, dozens, and all with their unique handwriting. And today, for whatever reason, that was all I was focusing on, each unique handwriting. In my mind, I was like, “what typeface would that one be called?”
A great question to ask.
