Added a Blog Settings link on Posts and other blog-related pages on the web. This is the first part of redesigning the Design section which has been poorly named for a while.

Further proof of the magic of ✨hyperlinks✨

God I love Hans Zimmer. That’s all.

Airplay from my phone to Mac suddenly became much better. Weird.

Glad to have signed the guestbook for Numeric Citizen. Such a nice way to give a tip of the hat to people on the web.

Now it feels like a good idea to post whenever I sign other guestbooks.

Frightening stuff from Chris Welch regarding the “advancement” in AI technology for image manipulation.

I will never enter the home of a person who has one of those “domestic robots”.

Just listened to an episode of iPhreaks featuring Manton Reece.

This was from January of 2014, and in it Manton and the hosts talk about how Apple makes it difficult to have even a basic relationship with your customers in the App Store.

Ten years ago.

Finally watched and listened to Vlad Campos’ interview with Manton Reece. Lots of good stuff in there.

It’s particularly interesting to see how MB develops alongside the big protocols, as well as the massive silos.

I am in the midst of changing my sleeping pattern and it is the hardest thing I have ever done.

I’ve only just realised that the profile view in the MB app for the Mac doesn’t show the “Fediverse” section. Super weird considering the decision to opt everybody into it.

There’s a chill in the air.

And I love it.

Our grinder didn’t appreciate the second half of the batch of decaf beans. 🤔

The status page for Micro.blog shows that everything is fine — I think? It’s not entirely clear to me — and yet there is a blog post I cannot access.

I’m frustrated since the title of the blog post alone has me excited, whilst the helpful MB page isn’t helpful at all.

I just completed Spelling Bee for the first time. :)

The latest advancement Daddy Apple wishes to force onto my computer would break the machine for me.

So that’s fun.

Changes Ahead by Alan Jacobs is not the first post of its kind that I have read in the seven years since joining Micro.blog.

A good broad, long-term goal for platforms such as this would be to change this dynamic. To truly be the best option for anybody who just wants to blog.

“racists go home”

That’s a good chant. Nice to see a varied selection from the counter-protesters across the country.

Anti-immigration protesters keep running onto a road in Portsmouth.

It’s BYOJ day.
