Planning directions from a city centre to a major hospital. Two significant locations, both of which are table stakes for modern map services made by the big companies.
The results:
Why isn’t Apple better at this?
Would an invite-only Mastodon server be better than Discord 🤔
Did somebody already set up an unofficial Micro.blog server?
Experts sharing their knowledge freely on the big social silos over years has now created a sense of loss for many people.
Hopefully the lesson learned is not to recreate those silos elsewhere but to share that knowledge in a variety of ways and invest in a diversified web.
So the third episode of The Last of Us is… a thing. Oof.
Feels good to have joined our very own Vincent’s membership on Buy Me A Coffee! 🎉
You can read about the different ways to support this fantastic independent developer over on his blog.
Quotebacks are better than timeline quote-posts because, above all else, they look great on a website.
Quote-posting… interesting. The “convenience at all costs” crowd is really winning out over there on Mastodon, huh.
what the fuck… Audible doesn’t keep your place in a book?
I can leave a paper bookmark in a paper book and it can easily stay there for months, even years! But this American megacorp with its monopolies and bullshit can’t keep my place in the story? ugh
I miss buttons in UI.
The two clothing revelations that have had an immediate positive effect on my daily life and already feel like are going to be a part of the rest of my life:
Also; the return of sweaters in my life!
Got a really good set of new clothes a couple of days ago. Not only perfect for the current weather but also very good quality.
When you spend years in deep poverty it’s easy to forget the importance of an investment in good clothes.
I do like “micronauts” a lot as a nickname for members of the Micro.blog community. Going to use it more often.
Dune is so good that I enjoy the bagpipes.
I mean, it’s Zimmer so it was probably always going to work for me but still… bagpipes.
Referring to Elon Musk as “Space Karen” only makes me think you’re no better than an ignorant child, playing pretend at having opinions about serious issues.
He’s not a fucking dark wizard and this isn’t some shitty piece of fiction.
Say his name next to his actions.
TIL our GP has all but removed the capacity to order medication via the small paper forms. The justification: “Most people have a smartphone.”
For a business run by two people based in London, the delivery costs for Cortex Merch are painful.
It’s bad enough that I am now more than a little unsure about my future use of the Theme journal. Which is a shame, since I love the practice already.
til @ lol 👀
Turns out Goldeneye for Nintendo Switch Online was enough to persuade me into opting for the expansion pack. 🎮
To do:
Now that Mastodon usernames on Micro.blog no longer show the hostname, let’s see…
There’s @viticci@mastodon.social
And then @viticci@mastodon.macstories.net
huh… weird, it’s still showing the whole name on the Mac app.
Today I realised I need to stop tracking deliveries.
… it’s important that Micro.blog stays true to its blogging roots and unique take on social media, rather than shifting to be a Twitter or Mastodon clone. We don’t need a monoculture with all apps looking exactly the same.

💯
The alleviated weight from triaging important paperwork is quite something. Suddenly so many things feel as if they are possible.
I only had one more book to add to a shelf for tonight and then Micro.blog… just fails. Darn.
