@manton I am very interested in trying this!

@numericcitizen I think Apple probably could easily enable other modes. Clearly these devices are more capable than the first PCs I owned, and they do truly run operating systems, but I imagine that even if they slowly open gates, their efforts will be to surprise and delight us in ways that distract us from wanting to.

@patrickrhone I for one would like to normalize compassion. I have been meaning to write at length on the topics you bring forward, because I know the piggyback guy, and I have heard the sirens singing sweetly. I can’t say I know exactly how you feel, which is the most unfair part, but the counterpoint is I think we could talk about similar experiences, and that, for me, is some relief. I see you. I hear you.

@help The design page had a long summary of errors on my site (which I neither screenshot nor copy-pasta’d) so I wondered if switching my theme might make a difference. Today running Marfa things are a-okay. Going to attempt a switch back to Cypress.

@jeannie I agree. I am being mindful of what I consume, including filtering out tweets that include any charged terms and mindfully auditing my follows. But I’m also attempting to be thoughtful about what I put back. My blog entries here are replicated to Twitter. While I know I won’t make everyone happy, I do not wish to amplify outrage.

@patrickrhone @odd @frostedechoes Thank you for your kindness.

@hollyhoneychurch You said the etherial word. Now I will have to check them out.

@vishae Gosh, I hope that is delicious.

@patrickrhone The tweet, Gruber’s post and your all hit home. I used to blog with a lot of snark and synicism and gave voice to many of my own darker thoughts. I struggle today with giving voice in the same way. On the one hand, knowing others felt the same way saved me and put me in touch with a larger community. On the other hand, I want no part of rage as sport or rage as entertainment. I would prefer to help folks find a center or a foundation, instead. I know a lot of people feel things pretty deeply and tweets just don’t seem to get there. I appreciate your thoughts, Patrick. Keep writing.

@hutaffe Transitioning to new devices is never simple, unless you’re setting it up as brand new. I feel your pain. Hope it continues to be trouble free and finally lets you experience that joy of the new!
