One of my favourite things about Micro.blog:
Manton Reece doesn’t waste his time constantly rambling on about silos. Instead, he makes considered, clear statements as to his opinion, within the context of his philosophy, on an irregular basis…
… and then gets back to work.
More than a day since I got the big PC up and running again. Still much relieved to be back onboard, yet have noticed something: between my time going iPad-only and then iPhone + Watch-only for a short time, I think I’m better prepared to see if the Mac is better than Windows.
Using an actual desktop-class browser again is like re-growing limbs.
It feels good to be back at my desktop, with the best keyboard, the best mouse, and a machine capable of everything I want to do with it. π
Good news β the PC fits into the reorganised utility room!
We’re currently in the midst of a number of simultaneous mini-renovations, including the gardens. I’m hopeful that we can fit the big PC back into the office-turned-utility room. Turns outβ’ the desktop set-up is ingrained into my working mindset.

Somebody fetch the wrist physio for @cheri because 10k in a single session is a stunning feat of writing. πͺ
Iβm going to spend some time planning out my blogging over the weekend. There are specific ideas and subjects about which I would like to write, and it has become clear to me that I need to put some intentional effort into said writing if Iβm going to publish anything at all.
I canβt get over that letter from Apple to Hey, especially that particular paragraph. It reeks of the worst accusations from Appleβs detractors; egotistical, cruel, deluded, almost dystopian in fact.
Baffled as to how that copy passed even a basic standard of editing.
I have a single hardware wish for the Apple keynote on Monday:
Micro.blog subscribers:
If Hey email was priced closer to Micro.blog subscriptions, would you consider it an appropriate value?
Imagine defending a $1.5 trillion company against the villainous behaviour of… /squints/ … independent developers?
Iβve thought of an ending for my bookβ¦ βAnd he lived happily ever afterβ¦ to the end of his days.β

Turns out it was a good thing for Micro.blog that Warren Ellis lost interest in the platform.
This is exactly why I was relieved to see the recent updates for stronger user-controlled moderation.
Safety + privacy controls on the timeline are table stakes.
