Notes are private by default, end-to-end encrypted across all platforms, with a special companion app named Strata for iOS. (Android coming soon.)

Off to a flying start with this launch 👏

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. ðŸŽķ

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? ðŸĪŠ” — 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;

  • a separate feed reader, which is particularly good at displaying photos;
  • or follow via email and always read in a full-size window;
  • long-term: different device, probably a tablet, probably an iPad Mini.

Getting all sorts of important tasks complete with this cosy lofi mix providing the perfect ambience. ðŸŽķ

I’ve come to realise the main drive of what I’m doing with @TIL — beyond the mission statement — and for which I need to begin full advocacy:

People. Not technicalities.

I’m going to relentlessly maintain that focus in the work, and the message.

A delayed order, now on the move. ðŸĨđ

When shared outside of Glass, your friends, family, or followers will see your photos laid out in the gorgeous Glass Grid with all the details.

That’s pretty damned good.

I’ve decided I don’t have time for overly contentious Mastodon people. It’s another flavour of 4chan.

Huh… the web site field in my MB profile got changed without my input or notice; /activitypub/SimonWoods was added to the URL somehow.

Firefox now supports creating and using passkeys stored in the iCloud Keychain on macOS.

WIP post: “Why Micro.blog does more than you think, with less than you remember, whilst maintaining credibility against the established destructive trend of online publishing.”

It’s not a snappy title, I’ll admit.

The MB Help forums look different…

Maybe I’m just an old man but I find announcements for exclusive software to be much less interesting than I had in the past.
