Was in a retail store the other day. As I was leaving, I noticed that the salesperson who had been helping me was wearing Meta Ray-Ban glasses (I saw the cameras). Not sure how I feel about that.

I take Caltrain to Palo Alto now whenever I go down there. It’s like riding on trains in Europe. Fast, quiet, smooth. It’s an enormous improvement!

I’ve had “Birdhouse In Your Soul” by They Might Be Giants stuck in my head for a week. Exceptionally clever wordplay—especially the bit about Jason and the Argonauts. Still, I’d prefer it stuck in your brain instead.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
I love a good tracker. I create spreadsheets for myself to track exercise, repetitive tasks, habits, etc. Would love to see more of what you create and use!
Bluesky’s captured tech twitter because it appeals to our innate desire to buy a new domain name.
Openvibe seems pretty great so far. I definitely miss some features from Ivory, but I presume they will add some of them over time. Sticking with it for a while as an experiment…

Fully agree with this. I also hope someone who is not me build an omni-Fediverse client for all the different protocols so we can have a unified experience if we so choose. Also I wish the name IndieWeb had won over Fediverse but whatever.
It's time to bring FriendFeed back.
Screenshot of an iPhone running the old Peach social network app, with posts from 7 years ago, and this morning—none with any responses.
Remember Peach? I still have it!
Having fun experimenting over here. Are there any #BlueSky client apps that support iPad? Most of my social stuff is done on iPad and the tiny iPhone size app window is making me sad!
