It took me all day to figure out the pun in Watchsmith.

The introductory video for Descript is really good.
Today’s gripes:
Neither of these flaws inspire confidence in me for your product.
Firefox is… not good on iOS. Not good at all.
Yesterday I was barely on The Internet at all.
10/10 would recommend.
✅ publish a newsletter
😊
Quick reminder! 🙋♂️
I launched the new newsletter for Today I Learned earlier this week. 🎉
Issue 1 of ICYMI, the weekly digest, will be sent to subscribers in a few hours from now. 🕙
The next time you wonder why it is that Manton Reece doesn’t submit the Micro.blog Mac app to the App Store, please consider the shoddy state of the App Review Team.
It is no business of Apple’s what it is that developers put on their website.

I’m not one of those people.
Just @brentsimmons being classy as fuck again. 😎
Late last night I launched the Today I Learned newsletter. Woke up this morning still feeling that same positive energy from having done so; it feels good to start something that is both new and complementary to the existing work.
But excuse me, I’m not going to write about it anymore. Instead I’m going to do my best to do what I love and care about, professionally. It’s good for my mental health to pursue what makes me happy. It’s more important now than ever.

Reward. 🍻
Making a new thing is so much fun. 😎
(bonus: promise fulfilled)
Today is a very good day to be listening to Zoë Keating, whose music is always a welcome campanion whether I’m working on some physical chores, admin tasks, or @til. 🎶
So that Zoom, eh… that is working out well, huh.
I’m Rene Ritchie and This… Is Rene Ritchie.
It’s great to see Rene building his own thing, especially as he is a person who speaks with such clarity, and care for different points of view. Both the tech media and YouTube scenes need as much of this as can be contributed.
The lack of PWAs on Firefox makes me sad.
TIL there are people who dislike Mary Poppins. I mean… wow.
Seeing people abuse pandemic-related hashtags and search on social media to literally endanger lives … it makes me thankful that Micro.blog doesn’t have search, hashtags, and “trending”.
For the price of saving lives we can all suffer the temporary burden of inconvenience.
The New York Times uses lots of cookies, of course.
Of the many they are willing to admit exist, there is one for “Remember opt-out preferences”… it will stay on your computer for 10 years.
This is what the web looks like in its broken state.
I’ve come to a realisation:
Micro.blog will very likely be the last online community for which I create an account for something approaching personal use.
That feels… weird.
Riot looks like a nice option for chat. It is even the chosen partner of Mozilla as their IRC replacement.
I like the idea behind Keybase but it is VC-funded. 😬
