I’m reading it, but nevertheless, it seems like no, I don’t have to

Do I really have to read this interview with the Bluesky person

The Threads federation timeline MORE OR LESS makes sense to me, except that they thought it was worth rolling out without replies.

Today is the 25th birthday of RSS, which is a pretty amazing coincidence because it’s also the day I co-found a website company.

I truly cannot believe I’m saying this, but my primary daily use case for Vision Pro is reading. My lifelong dream of being able to read without holding anything in my hands has finally come true.
Jon Mitchell
@ablaze
Still using Vision Pro for a couple hours of regular old Monday morning computer stuff ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@ablaze
I need to be clear that while I love this, I do not like this

I think the SSD speed fix is a very good reason to recommend M3 Air over M2, honestly. Like that’s worth paying for.

@the Yes I have had them since day 1, but I haven’t noticed any significant fluctuations in tracking

@pratik I have to find an in-between or feel the weight too much in one place or the other, and I have to say that, since posting this, I have changed my mind back and need a top strap for comfort.

I bet I can elicit a feeling of solidarity from Vision Pro users by posting the phrase “drinking from my invisible water bottle”

@ablaze
Honestly I wouldn’t mind if digital reading were a 🤏 little 🤏 more gamified

Why do people keep being surprised that the AI that was trained on internet posts has the biases of a male first-world human of middling intelligence

I’m glad Sports is moving out of News. Do Puzzles next.

I hope the home screen spot that has been occupied by chatbot apps I use maybe three times a month will be freed up by OS updates this year.

@ablaze
Seems back

Probably gonna spin up a new Mastodon server to move to, also, when this happens

I just received a Signal message that seems to be in response to a message I sent, but it says my message failed to send, and subsequent ones just spin without appearing to go through, and I do not like this, because it feels like a cryptography problem
Jon Mitchell
@ablaze
Signal is down

@jacks Sort of. Certainly, at least, many if the great forums of yesteryear were successful pirate ships.

@Denny Yep that is what I use on the iPad, but I want it on my phone, and I want to use the same app/project file, ideally on Mac as well, but the mobile use case is sufficiently different that I’ll settle for two apps

@xxxx Wow. Thank you so much for saying so. I have a new podcast now that you might enjoy! taalumot.space/tiger-tim...

@ablaze
I am on Threads, but I am still hopeful I will be able to simply forward that to @taalumot when the blessed time comes. But what I don’t have yet is a good bot army for my, uh, four RSS feeds to syndicate to social media, including Bluesky, which I hate. Let’s see what I can do here.
Jon Mitchell
@ablaze
It is a Squarespace site. Has to be. I am using its and marketing features (not to mention design) quite maximally. But I left 𝕏 (big account, too), and I am trying to figure out the last-mile distribution layer. @taalumot@stoat.zone is me, self-hosted Mastodon, but I mean the other stuff.

@ablaze
Okay here is my Micro.blog community update. I hope some of you remember @GrindWell. The idea that became that site is now an extremely macro blog at taalumot.space (which was also pseudonymous for years, for reasons). @GrindWell text content is there now. I finally have My Site™. Here’s the thing:
Jon Mitchell
@ablaze
It’s Micro.blog, isn’t it

@pratik Does Apple TV not support being on the Wi-Fi network while connected to Ethernet like a Mac does? Uh oh if not.

@ablaze @jsonbecker Okay but here’s the counterpoint: the iCloud.com Mail app has many Mac features that iOS does not have

@jhull The ah-ha moment for me was when I realized what the actual, sensible, full-explanatory-power business reason must be that this app is built on ActivityPub. It’s so its users can communicate with Europeans.
Jon Mitchell
@ablaze
@rcrackley I’m still having trouble believing it’s really happening, honestly.

@jean I was asking implicitly. I am way too interested in everybody’s cross-posting and multiple account philosophies these days, ESPECIALLY yours
