Looking at replies on Twitter, in the browser, logged out, might just be the worst possible way to spend my time.
Maybe it’ll help to remind me to not use it?
Maybe I’m just procrastinating for other reasons?
Maybe I should try to start a sentence with a different word?
lol @ people who think edits by Apple to the App Store Review Guidelines will mean they will no longer receive marketing push notifications
Twitter adding a “stories” feature is about right. Look at those image-based posts with the replies next to it; it’s an almost exact copy of Facebook’s years-old design.
Every online community platform that prioritises money above all else will inevitably trend towards Facebook.
Every time I see a screenshot of these security pop-ups from Catalina, I feel my desire to buy a Mac lessen.
This is the same as Windows; with this kind of thing happening there is no significant difference.
At this point I’m better keeping my iOS + Windows combination.
Seeing complaints about Whole Foods since the Amazon acquisition makes me think about my youth.
In 1999, one of our grocery companies (yes, an age when they weren’t all soulless “retail companies”), Asda, was bought by Walmart. It soon went to shit and continues to be terrible.
When talking about making things (literally anything) face-to-face, the first person to say to me “just do this to make it work” will get a stare that will make them uncomfortable.
just is a shitty word in this context. Don’t fucking use it.
One of the positive consequences of generally stepping away from life as a usable asset on the web is that I will be entirely removing all of the garbage coverage and commentary about US politics.
It is literal swamp water and we all just fucking drink it up.
The lack of Firefox Containers on iOS is annoying. What’s the point in having these powerful iPads if you’re going to hobble web technology that enables people to protect their own privacy?
I love the spirit of the indepedent web.
I am, however, frustrated by the feeling of wasting my time. It’s an undercurrent, a nagging sensation; that I will regret the time I spent fiddling with the quirks of independently created and maintained technologies.
The Social Media Morass – Frosted Echoes
I can’t pick a quote. Just read the whole thing because it is all entirely accurate.
Whilst online debate of real issues may be a source of positivity for some people the fact remains that it contributes nothing to the world.
When I read this hilariously bad piece from Mark Wilson at Fast Company and see in the bio at the bottom of the post that he has written “for almost 15 years”, it just makes me feel better about being at the start of new endeavours.
Comment sections (whether silo or not) remain the worst possible place for multi-post replies. Full blog posts – including anything as small as 300 characters – are vastly superior as a form of reply for any conversation that is worth reading.
If it turns out the folks at The Iconfactory have made a contribution to re-adjusting the value of iOS apps, to them I say bravo.
Face masks play a very important role in places like hospitals, but there is very little evidence of widespread benefit for members of the public.

More than past time for a formal introduction; good people of Micro.blog, my wonderful wife recently joined us: @clairewoods. Apparently my never-ending rambling about the platform had an effect. 😋
With Firefox alone there are 1.1 GB of cookies stored on my computer.
Why can’t we all just agree to share information without the filthy entanglements of corrupt economic mechanisms?
We got the official documentation for Wendy’s training.
Everyone, seriously, this includes a guide about body language and THERE IS A SAD DOGGO AND IT SAYS “I’M SCARED” 😭😭😭
