Rewatching: Steve Jobs at WWDC 1997
From this point (14 minutes) on for the next 5 or so minutes he describes his network-based set up and it is everything people like to hype about Google, and with it bash Apple.

Do you think whoever wrote this for the updater immediately felt sad about it? (assuming it was a person of course)
Instances & Toots, the Trump-Clinton fanfic you always wanted.
Looks like people leaving Twitter just want their Twitter replacement right now without any waiting. That’s fine, go to Mastodon or stay on Twitter, and when you are inevitably fully disappointed by them Micro.blog will still be here; a patiently built, well considered option.
User-based moderating tools are beginning to arrive, a very good step for Micro.blog to take. 🔇
Can you create threads with Micro.blog? (👉 micro.blog/simonwood…)
I took a look at Mastodon and wanted to vomit. That thing is destined for two things: the obscurity of IRC and the same Facebook cloning as Twitter and Instagram.

I continue to adore the focus on blogs in Micro.blog, specifically the culture of blogging as opposed to the established culture of social media. Metrics have become a spoiled thing, whether fans of Likes and Followers want to admit that or not.
I missed the big update to the Micro.blog wiki. Awesome work by @eli. 👏
A modern web design decision I wish I could force to change: keeping the sign out/log out button away from the main page. Just feels like you’re hiding the exit.
You: I can’t believe they’re blatantly copying the iPhone! Me: I can’t believe Apple don’t simply reuse the iPod strategy and make a cheaper phone.
Oh shit. @Moltz is here. Welp it was fun while it lasted.
One of my favourite things about Ben Thompson’s site, Stratechery is that he chooses to not shout at you about his subscription offering. No pop-ups or banners or whatever. Classy. 👌

Hi, new people! Feel free to @ me. ✌️
Oh don’t mind me, just watching manipulative tear-jerking moments from reality TV on YouTube whilst stuffing my face full of croissants NBD
When @macgenie talks about the Microblog Academy all I want in the world is for there to be a beta of the Micro.blog platform and that is the name Manton chooses. AND WE GET A STAR TREK UNIFORM-INSPIRED PIN UPON BEING ACCEPTED INTO THE BETA. BEST IDEA OR VERY BEST IDEA?
It’s not just a matter of interface design. Apple has built an entire ecosystem to support and enrich the iPad for both customers and developers.
In the past five months I have found Google’s efforts to compete against Apple’s ecosystem, uh, shall we say… lacking.
Not only do I agree with @cheri’s suggestion for photo labelling in Micro.blog, I think it’s important for the implementation to go beyond basic functionality. I believe Micro.blog users ought to be prompted to add a label to their photograph.

The most fierce seven-year old burn I have ever had the pleasure to read.
Quick update on my Pixel 2 XL after 5 months of use:
Google should be ashamed of Oreo.
It’s amazing how many “progressive Americans” are just Germans from the 1930’s.
Casual reminder that Apple have their own closed ecosystem with an influence on the web and has been said, they are not your friend.
