Nokia: So the Nokia 6.1 (2018) is officially being released in the US. Unlocked GSM, which means it will work on AT&T and T-Mobile but NOT Verizon or Sprint. It looks like a nice mid-range phone. The bad news is that the more powerful Nokia 7 Plus and Nokia 8 Sirocco will NOT be available in the US.

So Android One has made it up to mid-range phones but has not broken into the top line yet.

So what are the current “best practices” in long form blogging now in regards to visitor comments? Do you block new comments after X number of days, force people to register to comment? How do you keep comments (and trackbacks) from becoming spammed?

It seems like comments ought to be important, as part of the “conversation”. Sometimes people come late to the conversation but the post inspires a reply. But how does the blogger keep that communication open without drowning in spam?

This sounds very promising. I like the Android One (pure Android) bit. The Nokia 6.1 launches in the US for $269 | Ars Technica arstechnica.com/gadgets/2…

I can only applaud the #Indieweb movement and the many scripts they are producing. However, useability counts: having to put something in the Head of your website template means you just lost 95% of bloggers and website owners. Facebook and Twitter ran the table because they made posting and commenting EASY. Do that.

I’ve either ordered, from Amazon, an inexpensive sealed lead acid replacement battery for my elderly electric lawnmower or a really heavy paperweight. We shall see.
