Too much of getting Mastodon and those similar platforms to work are “Welcome to my TED Talk” and not enough “Do this without hassle”.
That’s fine, so long as fans of those platforms aren’t lying about it being “simple” or “easy” or whatever.

Looks like Paramount is getting ready to be sold. Time to get used to Disney having both Star Wars and Star Trek.
It says “Micro.blog Help Centre”. Starting to think “+ Mastodon” should be put in there.
I am forever stopping myself from calling them podcats.
Currently listening to a 1 hour loop of the main theme from Shadow Of War. 🎶
It is soothing like a lofi ambient mix, whilst also lively enough that it helps me to settle into work, like a lighter version of Einaudi’s music (his work is my go-to for work).

Good grief, Bob Iger.
I think I’m Weird Online:
Missed the latest Analog Tools meetup, which appears to have been a lot of fun.
This is why, ironically, I need to keep working on properly establishing my planning, scheduling, and note-keeping system. Progress is steady, alongside improvements to the new place so I can’t wait for the next meetup.
Just saw an advert for “Your child’s personal AI tutor.”
Welp time to go jump off a cliff.
We are now into year eight of Micro.blog. Feels like a good time for certain weak spots to be corrected — the kind of behind-the-scenes upgrade that is not at all flashy and worth lots of attention but instead guarantees such stability that you basically never notice other people having problems.
Going on a purge of notifications. Thankfully I don’t have to do this often, however this feels like a particularly good year to reign things in tight.
This is a good way to remember that many of the inputs in life can be controlled, at least to enough of an extent to limit sudden impact.

Listening to Come Together and it still sounds fresh enough to have been recorded this morning. 🎶
Strata as second brain.
Strata as paste bin.
Strata as password manager.
Notes are private by default, end-to-end encrypted across all platforms, with a special companion app named Strata for iOS. (Android coming soon.)
— Manton, Introducing notes in Micro.blog
Off to a flying start with this launch 👏
Some links:
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.
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.
Starting the day off with Morricone and some Gold. 🎶
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? 🤪” — and once I logged in it then proceeded to wipe my comment as if I had never typed it.
Good job, Automattic. 👍
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;
