I only had one more book to add to a shelf for tonight and then Micro.blog… just fails. Darn.

Mozilla are now forcing a button into the toolbar for Firefox.
One of the main reasons I use this browser is because of the relatively easy customisation. Flexibility is paramount.
… sigh. Another reason, once I’ve figured out the Micro.blog issue that I’ll go back to Safari.
I don’t think personal bloggers owe their audiences anything. It is almost irrelevant if you make changes or somehow compromise the reading experience. We’re just lucky enough to see any part of your journey.
Personal blogging is primarily for the writer, not the reader.
Between the behaviour of Nadella and Musk re; layoffs, I know which company I’d consider for future employment.
Stationery is much more attractive than any slab of glass or metal. There are times when software is dazzling, life-changing even. However, even glancing at the notebooks and dictionary and pens I’ve had for years continues to inspire me. Physicality is special.
The updated Micro.blog homepage is brilliant. Great job, @jean, @vincent, and @manton!
Apple being the first tech company of the year to announce new hardware feels weird.
It probably isn’t that uncommon but it doesn’t feel that way.
I’ve increasingly made use of the word “publishing” whenever I talk about actions we take on the web, especially those in full public view.
I believe the word “post” or [Insert Brand Name Here] strips our actions of their meaning and removes the intentionality inherent within.

TIL the Statue of Liberty is not in New York.

Infrequent reminder that Manton Reece was angry about this 11 years ago, and then did something about it.
This isn’t to brag on his behalf; rather, one of the many reasons as to why I wholeheartedly trust and have invested in Micro.blog.
Can you imagine the size of the file containing project names at Google?
Re-watched Dune… Villeneuve is a force unto himself.
The best way to travel around the web is to always remember one thing:
Not everything is for you.
I tapped a button on Overcast and have no idea what happened. Had a look on the website and Marco Arment’s post about the redesign and… just nothing.
Becoming less impressed by devs who think they can build software without an accompanying manual.

One day the Micro.blog team will include a Mastodon Developer, for sure. 😂
testing the new bookmarklet
TIL about Whoop and now I know that I definitely lack any interest in getting a new Apple Watch.
A fitness tracker without the screen and screen-based computing? Yes please.
I like Letterboxd — it is a great example of how a modern social network should behave, from what I’ve seen — but I’m going to put the time in to create a local set of data for my film-viewing and then post selectively to my blog.
Keeping my Letterboxd account in the meantime.
The great thing about the new UI for the Micro.blog Mac app is that I can now train myself out of immediately going into Conversation view for when I want to reply — I wasn’t a fan of the previous menu-based design for interacting with posts.
I enjoyed reading the first week of Jason Becker’s new project, “Letters”. I’m already excited about the notion of this type of project spreading throughout Micro.blog.
When people complain about “the long dark cold nights of winter” I’m over here absolutely loving my winter clothes and the spooky dark and the refreshing rain and the sound of rain on the windows and the sweet comfort of a good hot drink and… just, I love it. ❄️
Last night, thanks to TaskPaper, I used the Mac’s Script Editor for the first time.
Between this, the likes of BBEdit and the well established culture centred around the foundations of the web such as text, it’s fair to say that switching to the Mac was a great decision.
