We have a new Doctor Who companion! Millie Gibson is the new Doctor Who companion, Ruby Sunday
I wanted to get a lot of things done today… and then I felt unwell and did nothing. Meh. 😩
This is fine…
Fun fact: The state I live in has one of the world’s largest wine barrels. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gian…
‘Command-K Bars’ as a Modern Interface Pattern - MacStories I think Apple should consider an in-app version of Spotlight that replicates the functionality of Command-K bars and is optimized for keyboard usage on iPadOS and macOS. Modern productivity software is clearly moving in this …
Just realizing how much micro.blog (and by extension my friends in the Mastodon Fediverse) is “social media” while Twitter is mostly “attention (seeking) media”.

So, I argue for 10 years for WCAG to modernize, and once I have enough of the constant pushback and leave the discussion they start to jettison whole success criteria? Well, good riddance 4.1.1! 🤯
Excellent guide on joining Mastodon by @codingchaos@vis.social — I immediately linked to it from my blog post which she gracously had also linked to. ➡️ An oversimplified guide to setting up Mastodon
Shaming people who leave a toxic place because the new place is not 100% non-toxic is a weird flex that happens on Twitter right now. Sure Twitter alternatives are not the most accessible, but neither was Twitter when you joined it (unless you joined in the last 12 months or so). Pretending Twitter …
Looking forward to my split keyboard, I think I did not realize how bad my posture was until after I ordered it. Its as if my subconscious told me to make the change. As I have to adjust anyway, I consider to change to an alternative key layout, but am unsure if it’s worth it…
Twitter was never forever
I really don’t want to talk about Twitter’s demise, but part of my grieving process seems to be to think about it. So, sorry. It’s not surprising but still shocking to see that most people do not have any contingency at all for losing their primary social network. If Friendster, Pownce, App.net, …
I wished there was a way to view only the micro.blog timeline. Mastodon folks are many and chatty. I have the suspicion that we could lose a little bit of the cozyness of this place.
It’s now 10½ months since I set foot into a supermarket or other store (apart from two very short pickups by bike in the summer).
A humane guide to Mastodon ⸻ Looks like a good summary.
It’s fascinating to see how much of a commodity the Internet/Web is to many people that they don’t see the wonder of exploring a new system, like Mastodon/Fediverse. I get it, but I wished people were more internet explorers.
Musk will be super miffed when he realizes that WeWork got a whole TV show while his time at Twitter will be just a short film…
It’s nice to have Mythic Quest back. Such a good show.
Whenever I follow new people it feels like adding another Pokémon to my Pokédex. It’s fun and I love having y’all here.
This video literally (well, almost) how I got my “yatil” nickname: “y a-t-il” means “Is there?” in French.
Oh, I didn’t realize you could stream the Snooker UK Championship “Judgement Days” on Youtube. I assume the recordings stay online.
Today I learned that there is a free international standard on how to construct alternative text: www.itu.int/rec/T-REC…

Bridge must infiltrate a neofascist militia to prevent a race war across Europe, while tracking the stolen plans for a …
Apparently it is “cutting down trees the whole day week” in our neighborhood. After it triggered a migraine yesterday I retreated into the other corner of the house to avoid it. I mean, you could just let those trees live and fight against climate change…
