The next time you find yourself thinking “the web has failed” or “we can’t make change via Twitter” or anything like that, remember there are people having constructive discussions. They just happen to not be jaded white dudes.
Currently playing Middle Earth: Shadow of War and uh wow. This game is stunning. 🎮
Woo new project! Launching things is… uh, fun. 😅
- Today I Learned is a blog about Micro.blog, proving hints, tips, and more.
- Here it is: @til
- I wrote a post announcing it.
- And a thread on Twitter.
I like the new system menu in Chrome OS.
It’s availabe on 67 via chrome://flags/#enable-system-tray-unified
Then I took a deep breath and went off-script…
This is one of my favourite Micro.blog posts. Thanks for writing it, @liz.
I made a snarky comment about Twitter (I know, I’m super original) in the Micro.blog slack with regard to the pile of horseshit that is their “support”. Then, a few moments ago a tweet appeared in my tl linking to this from David Simon.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Tip: when contacting somebody for the first time, absent an established relationship or dynamic, being polite is the basic standard you should achieve. This includes using professional titles and no, it does not matter at all if you have behaved differently in the past.
I have never seen nor read any of Anthony Bourdain’s work and yet both my Micro.blog and Twitter timelines are full of heartbreak about his passing and thanks for the life he lead. Waves of emotions, passing over the world…
This is phenomenal.
I’ll never get over this untidy fact so many tech and web enthusiasts like to forget:
Sharing anything via the internet comes with an inherent risk of it becoming public.
If you want to help less technically inclined people get by on the web you must include this fact.
We haven’t yet had the in depth sessions, but the even Platform State of the Union is ripe with half-truths + empty stats that serve them.
Huh, they didn’t include that in the keynote.
