@Cheri @pratik @philipbrewer I may just be telling myself what I want to hear, but I’d bet the reason Amazon is closing physical bookstores has to do with the “physical” part, not the “book” part.
Guess we’ll see! I’d be happy for the bookselling industry to be less dominated by Amazon, regardless…
@jack Glad I could help! I always come across interesting things by keeping an eye on your wiki. Latest example: charm.sh Fascinating!
@jack Looks like both your blog and wiki are throwing untrusted certificate errors at the moment... 😬
@manton Thanks for keeping the App.net archive up! ❤️ Just re-downloaded all my posts after realizing that, when I downloaded them a year ago, I used http as the protocol and ended up with hundreds of files containing 301 Redirect boilerplate instead of JSON. 🤦🏻♂️
(On that note, the SSL cert for adn.micro.blog seems to have expired!)
@Cheri This post describes my own feelings about the “metaverse” pretty well. Thanks for putting it into words.
@Cheri But have you considered that both of these teams are going to have to really move the ball tonight if they want to win. 😜
@Miraz Dang, that’s a great blurb! 🤯
@brucegodin If you name your car company “Hertz”, it eventually starts to look ridiculous if you don’t have an electric fleet. I mean, come on. 😏
@pimoore My guess is it’ll just be “Face”.
@jessekelber Yeah... I have a growing chip on my shoulder about being "locked into" the Apple ecosystem, but the Mac is just... the best computer out there.
@jessekelber Heh, sorry. Having grown up in Winnipeg and having our NHL team scarper to the 'States for 15 years, I've gotta let you have it. 😉
@jessekelber I assume "hocky" is the American spelling. 😏
@Cheri @jessekelber Caffvolution—FTFY. 😜☕️
@aaronpk It seemed like the 12" MacBook was desperate for Apple Silicon to exist, so I agree! I hope they bring it back as their ultimate consumer laptop story... but, you know, with ports!
@jessekelber Oof, that sounds good. I've had a weird Linux laptop for the last few years, but I just can't seem to love it. I had a 2011 Air for six years and it basically ruined me for any lesser computer. 😍
@aaronpk Good to know! I don't do much video editing—most of my work is prose or code—but there have been times where 256GB storage feels tight.
In Canada, the 8/256 Air is $1,299 and the 16/512 is $1,899... The Pro would be a ridiculous indulgence for me, as hot as the new form factor is. 🤓
Hey, maybe in another year or two we'll get a redesigned Air with MagSafe and an M2, and that'll be your huckleberry. (I'm tempted to hold out for that machine, in fact!)
@aaronpk Been thinking of swapping my 21.5" iMac for that M1 MacBook Air. I keep getting lured by upgrading to 16 GB RAM and/or the 512 GB storage, but I probably don't even need those! Does the 8 GB Air ever feel RAM-constrained?
@Burk I especially like the implication that, whoever you are, you must have something in either your browser history or your selfies that it would be devastating for someone in your contacts to see... 😜
@Cheri Fantasy adventure! First of many, I hope. 🏰🤓
@Cheri This is very inspiring! I'm working on the 2nd draft of my 1st novel over here. Looking forward to following along! 🤓
@jack I… I shouldn’t look into Org Mode, right? The TiddlyWiki rabbit hole is deep enough… 😅🤣
@help hm. Sharing a screenshot to M.b via share sheet on iPad OS 15 resulted in a M.b post with no image. 🤔
@brucegodin Seriously! If someone needs to bar protests from anywhere… let them bar the ones taking place outside hospitals. 😝
@jsonbecker THIS. I’m starting to write some code to do this myself, where I can, but exfiltrating the data to an open format is about the best I’m hoping for.
@pimoore @help I’ve noticed that bug! Thanks for mentioning. Would be best if iOS app remembered timeline position when returning from the browser.
