  • I love the choral moments from The Lord of the Rings soundtracks…

    — Holly Honeychurch, Planets I on Bandcamp

    Same. Those moments have been a welcome accompaniment along various paths, especially in my younger years.

  • When I find myself in better moments, rediscovering the good routines that not only make me happy but also make me better, I invariably find that I have nothing to say regarding subjects and issues about which I know very little; which is to say, most topics of conversation.

  • Hi 👋

    If you’re looking at the reply box to an announcement from a software developer, and they have in fact not made that one update you care about it is okay to say absolutely nothing.

    It’s extraordinarily easy to say nothing at all!

    👍

  • Crabulo.us is the best new social network I’ve seen. 10/10 would recommend

  • huh… can’t publish image-only posts from the Mac app. I thought this was an older issue that had since been resolved 🤔

  • It is past time to stop talking to random people on the internet about serious issues.

    Especially if you encounter these people on algorithmically-designed networks with ad-driven business models.

    There is nothing to be done here. Nothing to be improved.

    So don’t do it.

  • Seeing more instances of people asking a question on Micro.blog, including a cross-post to Twitter, and within a day there are half a dozen replies on Micro.blog whilst after several days there are zero replies on Twitter.

    It’s great to see Micro.blog stand on its own feet.

  • If we truly care about serious issues I’m afraid we’ll have to do more than just post on the internet about it.

  • They really shouldn’t call it a mute switch whilst also bragging about how advanced the haptic engine has become.

  • Look @manton I found a way for you to use SwiftUI 😂

  • That I am taken by surprise when playing my music locally at the instantaneous nature of the playback is a poor reflection on the various mega-corps and their streaming technology. The slow performance of that streaming had become something to which I had attuned.

  • The rain is here. The temperature has dropped. Cool air is passing through the house and it feels so, so good.

  • I am working on TIL 2.0, like I’ve mentioned a few times now, but I am also working on 1.9.8. I’m enjoying the process of making the current version the best it can be, even as I’m able to make progress on the new version.

  • You Know You’ve Been On The Internet For A While When:

    • you instinctively use Select All + Copy before posting something

  • I took the right week for a break from publishing TIL 🥵

    → 5:04 PM, Jun 15
  • I use iA Writer for writing @TIL. It is the core of text creation for the entire project.

    So… uh, that iA Writer 6 is out(!) and now includes wikilinks? Well that makes my current publishing break that much more timely 🤯

    (also: autocompletion for hashtags 👍)

  • Seeing people engage in the same miserable, moaning, repetitive dialogue about other social platforms is not exactly encouraging when I think about Micro.blog.

    I have done this myself, and am attempting to no longer fall prey to these shallow distractions.

    I hope others do too.

  • This is the next set-up I’m looking at (in the future because lol money):

    • MacBook Pro 14"
    • Studio Display
    • iPad Pro 11" w/Magic Keyboard + Pencil

    Would like to work away from the base office with both the laptop and iPad. Plus I’ve missed the iPad for certain tasks and hobbies.

  • Haptic feedback for the iPhone keyboard 🤔

  • One of things I’m working on for @TIL 2.0 is making the site easier to use. Better access via breadcrumbs, linked pages, etc.

    I’m starting to see just how many websites don’t do this sort of thing at all. Most navigation seems to be built around “We want to funnel you to X.”
