Update: it’s “Antiphonal Noel.”

Thanks. I haven't fully figured out what's next, but I have some irons in the fire, and I'm finding lots of time for working on personal projects.

Awful news. I’m sorry and can relate. Hang in there! Thanks for the music.

I’d imagine there’s some overlap, or maybe the impostor syndrome causes the former.

That is a prime StarCraft station.

Thanks! I suppose it was just my turn. I bought my first Apple computer (a G4 iMac) in 2002 and I’ve really never had a hardware issue. I guess it’s just my turn.

I think fear and danger based feelings are faster than thoughts, because evolutionarily, they need to serve a reflex function for safety. Other feelings are likely slower.

Invite era was a wild time. Half the features were under construction and 2/3 of the images shared couldn’t be opened in public.

We… could just call them posts.

The moment a network feels like quicksand is the moment I feel a need to distance myself from it.

Threads suffers from an attention-manipulating algorithm that incentivizes engagement bait. I think a lot of people are tired of the Tik Tokification of every network. I don’t want to doom scroll accounts I don’t follow or care about. I want to see things from the people I chose to follow.

Bluesky is definitely higher on the artist count than the gear/tech count for most things, but overall has way better quality engagement and less bait I think, as accounts don’t benefit from that much.

Here’s Simon, toasting himself happily.
