@computerfact Back in the day the comments section of my blog was a vibrant, fun, and generally respectful community. Had dozens of regulars and interesting conversations in the comments. See techdirt.com for an example of a blog still doing it in 2023.

From the archives, the lost art of curating a collection. I'd argue this is even a worse issue today in the age of streaming. What does "a music collection" even mean when anything you might ever want to listen to is available on demand for $10 a month?Everything I wrote back in 2011 still holds true for me today. I use streaming for music discovery, but mostly listen to my MP3 collection, using Audacious.#music #streaming #collecting #mp3 #spotify https://odonnellweb.com/pelican/the-lost-art-of-curating-a-collection.html

@paul @scroll_lock It's sucks when anybody gets laid off, but anybody at Google for 16.5 years should also be independently wealthy and not particularly stressed about finding or even needing a new job. He's not exactly a poster child the workers right movement needs!

This blog, by a guy currently working in Antarctica, about life there, is always fascinating or entertaining, and often both. #blog https://brr.fyi/

@broximar I quit Amazon Prime last year but the majority of my 3-5 day free shipping orders from Amazon arrive in two days, just like they did when I was paying for Prime.

@stanford I understand why they made .social the default; so many were confused by the immediate need to make a choice. Maybe they should kick people off after 30 or 60 days, so it's like a lobby in an old chat room, you are not supposed to stay there long term.

Nobody is quite sure when the turtles got religion and started worshiping the Great Blue Heron.

@niclas CEOs don't have salaries? LOL LOL LOL LOL Large company CEOs make millions in salary, plus tens of millions in stock options, and when they fail, they get millions and millions to leave.

@rolle Those folks are looking to build an audience that they can monetize. That approach won't work here.

@stickster I think in the early days of social media, there was this idea of keeping our work and personal lives separate. It's probably not really possible long term, and also is a lot of extra work. Due to that 2nd factor, I never bothered, which turned out to be a lucky guess as it looks to me like the world landed on just being yourself online everywhere, and not trying to maintain multiple personas.

@killyourfm Is it an accident that the guitar riff in Forward evokes Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap?

@lowqualityfacts As someone that had two kids in diapers at the same time... you've made a mistake with one. This is not low quality :)

@CliffWade @stu @protonprivacy Can you use IMAP clients with Proton? Both Thunderbird and Evolution have calendar and mail in a single app.
