So, duh, I just discovered Pocket getpocket.com I’d seen it around for years but never really looked into it. The Chrome extension works great for saving stuff to read later across many devices. Win!
How Blogging has Changed.
Once upon a time, when web blogging was new, the rule was to “link freely” to whatever pages the blogger fou...Jewel Food Stores @jewelosco Signature (house brand) frozen butter milk pancakes are now about the size of a coaster and very thin. They taste okay and might do as a side for eggs and sausage breakfast but for stand alone: I ate the whole box full and am still hungry.
Just installed and configured @vivaldibrowser (Linux) and I love it. It’s like coming Home, like a modern version of old school Opera.
New System76 laptop on the way. I’m going back to Linux because Windows is out of the question and I am increasingly worried about Apple’s walled garden.
It will be nice to have a real keyboard again and it will make blogging much easier.
I wonder if getting micro.blog to post to Mastodon has been considered? Twitter is good, Facebook harder to justify but it seems like Mastodon might be worth supporting.
I’m glad I did not pay for that in Bitcoin. Er, not that I really know what Bitcoin is, how it works or how to find them. Which makes me double glad I did not pay in Bitcoin. :D
They have this all wrong. If you want to stop illegal immigration you should also arrest the plant manager, personnel department head and the company CEO. But they won’t because the corporate fix is in with Washington. Instead we waste billions on a wall.

So everybody, including me, has their pitchforks and torches out for Facebook. Now some tech experts are saying Twitter might be next to come under investigation. Gah!
What social networks are left? There is old Plurk. I hear about Mastodon but it sounds like you have to have your own server. The new hipster networks like Vero and Raftr want to be cell phone only. That doesn’t really work for me.
So let’s say I stick with FB and Twitter but continue to post to them almost exclusively through Microblog, what privacy advantages do I gain?
