Oh Fudge! My fancy schmancy Linux laptop just locked me out. Reboot gives me command line. Support ticket opened. I am not happy.
I’m waiting for the Gutenberg editor to come out on Wordpress. I’ll try it when it does, but I have the Classic Editor plugin installed just in case. I guess it’s supposed to make posts look more Squarespace like. Pffft.
Also on Mastodon.social I like that bots are identified as such. I had a polite bot stop by and let me know it was following me and how to block it if I wanted. That bot was from a new Mastodon instance that needed some filler posts for it’s local timeline. Kinda nice.
On Mastodon.social “Tech News Bot” is pretty darn good. If you are new there and looking for something to fill your feed it’s a nice overview of tech news. You can unfolllow the bots as you find more people to follow.
Branding Fail: Crest Pro-Health Advanced toothpaste. There are now so many types of Crest Pro-Health toothpaste all in almost the same box label, that I have no clue what the differences are. I want the blue gel type I bought last year.
I don’t see Micro.blog and Mastodon as being an either or choice. For now I like being a member of both. I like Mastodon. I also like M.b and it’s nice to have choices. I might not be as happy on another Mastodon instance. You can’t just say “Mastodon” like it’s all one.
Now I did it. I’ve hit Peak Timeline, I’ve followed enough people that I’m missing stuff on my Micro.blog timeline. Tsk. :-)
Sorry Chevy, but the new Suburban in black with super dark tinted windows, looks like a hearse.
Interesting. Over on my Wordpress blog, Bing has now crawled deeper into the posts on there and updated the search results. This week I got my first search hits from Duckduckgo and Qwant which both use Bing.
From my experience, you really have to immerse yourself in micro.blog for a month before you start understanding it’s features and the community. Even then, MB is deeper and more subtle than you think after that month.
School is back in session. The little kids are all wearing backpacks that are almost as big as they are.
