Okay, fine, Apple. I can view an RSS feed’s underlying XML by rolling my own shortcut for this purpose. But, seriously, should this have been necessary (same goes for underlying HTML, fellas)?
(And I am still mad at you Tumblr, for harshing my mellow use of ‘’).
The irony of Gluon is that I can’t upload the videos, or use my shortcode to make the video giffish … but once the post is there the video displays brilliantly within the timeline (which, of course is not the Micro.blog standard).
I wonder when the documentary capturing our massive deprogramming effort is coming out … wait … that’s right … we don’t have one of those … nobody was interested.
Pretty sure watching Q: Into the Storm is gonna wreck the little hope I have managed to hold on to with regard to regaining a passable national intelligence quotient.
When you're not all that sure how much slack is too much slack.
Cat food. The correct answer was cat food.
Congrats @manton, you are officially more sophisticated than Tumblr. I decided to add the video I just posted to the Tumblr cross-post, Tumblr is literally all “that’s too big bud,” so I download the video you compressed for me to upload to Tumblr.
When the appetite stimulant has kicked in but she's still being picky.
To do list … or not to do list … that is the question.
Seriously … ninja snips whilst the dog is napping is the only way to groom the ungroomable dog
In the beginning of internet and instant messaging – lack of face-to-face talk resulted in mistakenly taking parodies and humorous jokes the wrong way. Kaomoji is a result of manga and anime fans who wanted to correct those mistakes, avoid awkward writing situations, and express words more creatively.
Kinda interesting how searching for an "ears ringing" kaomoji just dovetailed with the Wittgenstein book I am reading
My god, Apple, can we crush this GD bug where tapping a message alert while the alert sound is playing cranks the volume to 11 already?
~(>_<~)
With folks like me craving GIF behavior with quality imagery … and platforms avoiding the embrace of muted, looped video sans controls … would a new format meeting both criteria not be warranted?
I have noticed IndieWeb Webring traffic beginning to trickle (versus nonexistent).
Everything posted thus far (that isn’t iphonography) was written either decades ago or while I still believed I could reach people via Twitter. Since leaving Twitter there has been zero motivation (as there has been zero audience) to keep writing. Perhaps a journal is called for.
Kind of a shame that there isn't an outlet for my political perspective. I was getting good at writing it. It felt like it could have made a difference. But the ADHD brain requires motivation…
Staged is f$&king brilliant, BTW.
Rodrigo y Gabriela … if you didn’t know … now ya know.
Cool thing about iOS Shortcuts, if Apple would get out their own way I could write the additional functionality I require out of a Micro.blog client into the freakin’ share sheet (which I actually did before abandoning Twitter, could pick one of my threads out of Safari, pick the tweets I wanted to include, take care of last second edits, and upload that MFer).
Go away Medium, you have been absolutely useless for this particular writer.
How … TF … are you still not getting that you f$&ked up sticking country in my mix, Apple Music?
So … yeah … about the Gluon app:
The suck)
The great)
(Still may just roll my own when I run out of things to do so I have a one-stop shop)
So … yeah … not only can the coding capable get a Micro.blog hosted site setup practically however TF they please, with Textastic and Working Copy you can do it all on a ruby red iPhone 12 mini.
(throw Brushstroke and a pinch of creativity into the mix, it will even look cool AF).
Creative nonfiction, art, poetry, apps, philosophy, music, wood work, knots, political culture critiques … some of the things I make.
