Seth Godin on the money again:
Of course, as we race to fill in every moment with swiping, surfing and clicking, it’s easy to forget that we’re allowed to leave some blank spaces. In fact, not just allowed, but if we want to live well, required.

About 5 years ago my sister lost a book of poetry (William Blake), so recently she decided to replace it and ordered a second hand copy on eBay. It arrived today.
It's got her handwritten notes in it. It's hers.
For the record I've already got an account for my side project up and running on mstdn.social - I may share it when there's something there worth sharing.
Manual approval of accounts over on mastodon.social these days. I know they probably get inundated with spam, but if you're on a roll trying to get a project up and running, seems it might be quicker to set up your own instance... But this was only supposed to be a side project hahaha

#Jetpack will no longer auto-share blog posts to #Twitter!
This is because Automattic, the company the owns Jetpack, was not able to come to a "good faith" agreement with Twitter about access to their API.
However, there's also good news.
In the same blog post, Automattic announced that auto-sharing of blog posts is coming to #Mastodon!

Personally, I think it’s awesome that the people who joined this fediverse because they didn’t like what one billionaire allowed them to do but like what another billionaire says he’ll allow them to do are leaving this fediverse for the billionaires fediverse.
I don’t know how you volunteer to go back to prison after tasting freedom, but a lot of people do.

in 30 years time, if we aren't looking back on these days with horror, it's because it will be illegal to look back on these days in horror.

Microsoft's Edge browser appears to be sending all the URLs you visit to its Bing API website.
Reddit users first spotted the privacy issues with Edge last week, noticing that the latest version of Microsoft Edge sends a request to bingapis.com with the full URL of nearly every page you navigate to. Microsoft tells The Verge it's investigating ...

Congratulations on living past 30! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to discover new music that sounds like old music and doesn’t remind you of your unresolved trauma and shame!

Sorry, the sabotage of Twitter is not a “disaster for democracy”—it’s the logical and inevitable endpoint of surveillance capitalist control of our communications infrastructure.
Those who control a message’s delivery system control the message.
Twitter was always owned by surveillance capitalists—it NEVER served democracy.
