One of my potential Amazon replacements: Hive

If your blogs aren’t freely accessible via feeds and your podcasts aren’t freely accessibly via feeds, then they aren’t blogs and they aren’t podcasts.

Should a first-time watch of the US Office start from season 2? I’ve heard that season 1 attempted to recreate the original and that just doesn’t sound good to me at all. 📺

(Note: I’m usually a stickler for watching a whole show from the start.)

Learning just how inconsistent the experience is when it comes to posting an image to Micro.blog on iPhone.

I’m starting to think the part of me that adores albums and binge-listening to discographies will always be at odds with streaming music. 😔

The day has now turned into a Mountain Goats kinda day. 🎶

It’s a Beatles kinda day. 🕺🎶

One of the benefits of not just using Google (including YouTube) or Twitter for search is that I am regaining a lot of my general research skills. The web is full of so much information and it truly seems like most people are comfortable being spoon-fed by a singular option.

Every day, regarding the web, is a walk along two lines:

Must try to make the web better, in any way possible.

and

Burn it all and walk away.

I love Panic’s website.

The Mac Mini is priced in a weird way. For the same specs, and including the cost of the LG UltraFine 5K monitor, I can get a 5K iMac for roughly £1500 cheaper.

My SE, even with software that is increasingly hostile to the screen size, is the best tech-buying decision I’ve made for a few years.

The sooner Safari on iPad gets better (Apple should be doing everything they can to make it easy for web apps to adapt), the better. The hardware has never been this good but the fact remains that web apps are an integral part of the real world.

Reminder: Calibre is the thing you want for e-books with less Amazon.

Turns out I’m still really into Micro.blog*.

* I could easily add more along the same lines of the last point.

Is there really no such thing as currently playing in Overcast? Trying to get Play Next to make sense and control my current listening session is quite difficult when compared to Pocket Casts.

Maybe it’s my SE? I know that Marco can’t wait to drop support for it.

I’m going to try something:

I will take all of the online shopping I do (it’s not that much, one of the virtures of being relatively poor) and find physical alternatives.

I like the idea of opting out of the vast majority of commerce websites entirely.

The problem isn’t that I want a dog.

The problem is that I want all of the dogs.
