I don’t think Matt Mullenweg should step down.
I think people who are bothered — and I’m right there with you — should dump WordPress, and remember that this always happens.
Stop trusting idealistic projects based on the words of a single person.
Build alternatives and accept the work.
Very happy to have released the first update to @TIL in a while. 💪
If you’re going to spend your energy on caring about slimy Zuckerberg you should at least have the decency to learn about The Molly Rose Foundation.
I just completed a full piece of writing for @TIL. The last time I did this was over five months ago.
That feels so good.
There must be a bug with MB profiles because @KimberlyHirsh only has one word in their bio.
It feels so good: my work on @TIL has moved forward from “Planning and Organising and Catching Up With The Space” and into “Work, write, edit, and schedule.”
Not only excited to publish the work but also to open up on how the work is going, more than I have previously.
I somehow only just got the latest update to MarsEdit, and am happy to see this change:
Blog defaults for publish status, comments, text filter, and trackbacks are now applied to Microposts
This means I can use MB Drafts as my place to quickly start and save certain long posts.
“it’s usually the exact same phone as last year”
… and that’s when I stopped paying attention to your review.
Reading Aaron’s post about thunderstorm weather immediately reminded me of two mornings ago, on Friday, when we awoke after heavy sleep to the sound of thunderstorm rain… it was glorious.
When I said we’re settling, that even includes the soothing effect of superior rain.
Now that we’re well and truly settling here I’ve been able to think more clearly about a lot of things. This includes what I want to do regarding my next phone.
I’m going to try to get an iPhone 13 Mini, and use the Focus Mode feature:
- Personal: low energy, minimal.
- Work: full powered, focused.
I’ve just publicly dinged MB three times in the space of about five minutes. Apparently coffee = critic mode?
Weird gap in Micro.blog on iOS: The new “dark icons” feature in iOS 18 is not supported. Meanwhile Gluon — which is no longer available — does support this feature.
Maybe nobody cares about this but I think these types of gaps, of which there are a fair few across the platform, can be jarring.
The Things They Carried is Gruber right in his groove.
Oof just a little 4-degree warning from winter overnight. Like it’s letting us know to really enjoy the upcoming burst of late summer, before the real deal gets here.
