@JohnPhilpin I did see the Animal Crossing thing… I understand what you mean.
@JohnPhilpin What was the last straw?
@frankm I had the same thoughts concerning free speach.
@patrickrhone I guess expecting something different to happen when we keep doing the same things would be the definition of insanity. I heard the DA's press conference today. I do not want your prediction to be true, Patrick, but I do expect it to be so.
@JohnPhilpin So, so shocked…
@patrickrhone And those are the hardest facts we face.
@JohnPhilpin Indeed! I was relatively happy to see them!
@patrickrhone I agree. What is in the phone and what one might avoid by focusing on the phone instead are the right questions. Curation of notifications: aural, visual and haptic has been an important part of reclaiming my tiny attention span.
@patrickrhone I agree with that assessment… I hope it works well for both entities. Ideas like Keybase need more traction.
@patrickrhone Thank you for this!
@patrickrhone Boom
@simonwoods I have some older Logitech gear I'm going to experiment with, if I catch your meaning.
@manton Bless you
@patrickrhone Also, time watching progress bars is some sort of time-expansion experience where there is ample opportunity to speculate on the chess-board-like menu of possible outcomes
@patrickrhone IT work is similar to the aircraft pilot’s lament: long periods of interminable boredom punctuated with moments of sheer terror.
@bix Totally agree. Took a few minutes to complete for the household. Was surprised by the mandate for freeform self-identification of ethnicity.
@bix I appreciate that information.
@odd That is a treasured song and album. I have been listening to their music chronologically recently
@kaa (a propos of nothing...) Did you roll your own Micro.blog theme? I love the simplicity and the typography!
@Burk I'm with you there. In my case that ends up being a handy repository of lightly curated items I have obtained, versus other folders that have different gravity in different contexts.
@bix I love this. Thank you.
@patrickrhone Thank you for the link! Isn't it amazing that for all of our claims of logic and rationality, we are truly emotional beings at our cores?
@manton Grateful for this functionality. I feel the conversations could be an additional lure into the community.
@JohnPhilpin In practice the flexibility is a non-issue. They are substantially stiffer than traditional laces, but not in a way that would prevent any known lacing scheme. I think they are called "iron" laces because the knot doesn't budge and they do not untie.
