One of my favourite things about Micro.blog as an independent, opinionated platform is the team’s attitude toward the work.
Manton, Jean, and Jonathan do not spend time just talking about the work.
They do not fetishise the idea of work.
They just do the work.
Bokeh will be ad-free, have a chronological timeline, and will be private by default. That means that all accounts will start off as private.

A great addition to the diverse, independent web.
Apple could do a lot worse than ripping off the Pixel with two things:
- Unlimited photos taken with the iPhone and saved in iCloud.
- Night Sight.
If you’re going to brag about your camera, then let’s see the practical side of things sorted for the average customer.
The statement went against everything I had experienced as a person who stutters.

I like this speech a lot. It’s like a warm greeting in written form. Nice work, @pratik!
For now, Spotify is only focused on content promotion within its own service — not anything outside of its app.

Welp. There goes my Spotify account.
A part of the knowledge-based industry is its adoption of the same mindset from older industries:
The work must look impossibly easy to implement, so hide away the realities of making and maintaining goods at scale.
This is in the rotten core of silos, of the mainstream web.
It’s been a year already: First of May
Person: “Ah this thing I’m trying to do is difficult.”
The Internet: “Oh just do this and problem solved.”
Person: “Thanks but that’s not why I posted.”

The baby is born. The mother meets with the doctor. They take care of the baby. They wrap the baby beautifully. And then the doctor and the mother determine whether or not they will execute the baby.

It’s interesting to see the replies to Gabriel Santiago’s post, in which a group of iOS users are strongly requesting a feature for Micro.blog. Does the web app not work on iOS? Or is the app-centric model so strong that people forget, or never even think, about workarounds?
Apple spends $30 million per month on Amazon Web Services, huh? I’m sure that’s super secure and helps to protect your privacy.
I’m sure I would eventually get used to working in a library but everytime I am in here I waste too much time people-watching. There’s just something about seeing society in this particular mode that I find both fascinating and … life-affirming? IDK.
It’s been great to see the recent development of Indigenous, by Kristof De Jaegar. My Micro.blog timeline loaded in the app for the first time just yesterday.
This means there are now four ways to access Micro.blog on Android: Web app, Diaolog, Indigenous, and Gluon.
It’s test-driven space adventuring.
