As Amazon buys Eero, the only advice I have for Hot Take Season is to delete your Twitter and Facebook accounts.

Here’s a tip for particularly effective self-care: watch all of Parks and Recreation. Every single minute.
FREEDOM OF PRESS IS FOR THE BIRDS
Meowing, chirping, yowling! NOISY Bengal cats talking!
why yes my blog is now exclusively the realm of cat video links, why do you ask

This is why we made the web.
Hi people on Micro.blog,
Just wanted to say it’s been great getting to know everybody, and that the various communities within have helped me immensely getting through a tough start to the year.
You’re all fucking brilliant.

There are some days when all I can think about is how the USA was founded by people claiming to want freedom from oppressive overlords and a system of extreme inequality… and now the most powerful people across the US are exclusively members of the rich class. 🤔
Huh… Maps products from tech companies sure were a great way to accelerate the subjugation of our species. 🤔
Before I even begin to build a website for a client, I engage in a deep conversation around two simple questions: Who is coming here and what are they looking for?

That thing when I said to subscribe to Patrick? Yeah, that.
I’m trying to create a new calendar in the Windows Calendar app and I swear to fucking god Microsoft absolutely HAVE to shoot themselves directly in the face or they are not having a good day.
WHERE IS THE FUCKING ‘CREATE CALENDAR’ BUTTON, MICROSOFT.
Listening to Too Dry to Cry by Willis Earl Beal and it’s just so good. Need to not just listen to more of his music but more like this. 🎶
Just looking at my Micro.blog timeline you’d think it was Christmas morning or something. Nah; it is simply the case that Manton dropped a collection of exciting updates all at once. 🌟😃
Templates, categories, and related API and open source updates are the headline in a brilliant batch of changes.
I can’t imagine a sadder way of living life than analysing art before you’ve had a chance to experience it, whether that’s films, music, TV shows, whatever… the whole point is to actually experience the thing before you decide whether to wholesale accept or reject it.
Not entirely sure what purpose a website would serve someone like me so this page is here to redirect you to more interesting places.
Clear, honest, useful. Everything a promotional website should be.
This conversation is a perfect example of why stronger muting tools would be good for Micro.blog. Let people moderate their own timeline where possible. I assume this is not relatively easy to implement, given the nature of the platform (feeds, etc).
Children: “I need to use the internet to get advice on getting vaccinated because my parents don’t believe in it.”
Some Of The Internet: “Here’s some help.”
Other, larger parts Of The Internet: “How can we use being nice to convince the parents to not abuse their children.”
The News: “So uh… our children are being murdered more easily via guns.”
Some Idiots: “GUNS OR DEATH”
Observers via the internet: “Let’s get all bothered about civility or some shit.”
The News: “So uh… about that poisoned water.”
Some Idiots: “HER EMAILS”
Observers via t
It’s weird how none of the people I follow in the tech punditry crowd talk about the actual wall Jeff Bezos has put between Europe and The Washington Post.
EU lawmakers: “We’re going to try to help with privacy issues.”
US billionaire: “LOL nope.”
People: “¯\_(ツ)_/¯”
The crushing weight of dangerously low standards in society is a real thing.
I hate relying on the bus. -_-
A few months ago I posted a short introduction, which even though I still think could be a good addition to Discover is largely invisible barring the link on my About page. I’ve now moved that introduction into my Micro.blog bio and replaced the link on my About page.
I wonder how many people know that if you’re not signed into an account on the Twitter website video embeds do not work. 🤔
I keep seeing “this technology is bad” and “this technology has done that” and “this technology is responsible for X bad things”. One day we’ll all agree to stop saying this because all we’re doing here is avoiding the problem; people. Technology doesn’t do anything alone.
Wondering if the Update On posts in Updates are necessary. You can see the release notes for the iOS and Mac apps in Help, whilst the info for Sunlit and Wavelength is on their app pages. Maybe roll the rest of Updates and Web Updates into the main blog? 🤔
