For day 2 of the Micro.blog photo challenge: curve. A shot from when I was walking through the Texas Capitol a few days ago.

A few weeks ago, on Wednesday, May 21, 8:56 AM I got this email: Hi Joe Crawford, It looks like an external link you included in CSSBattle for DECEMBER 5 (2024) Logo-i-zer & ArtLung Lab didn’t follow Community Guidelines.

Congrats to Kagi on 3 years! They also announce their upcoming email product in this post. I’m enjoying Kagi more and more, and loved talking to founder Vlad Prelovac on my podcast Timetable last week.

For a web browser that has been abandoned, Arc sure has a lot of new updates. 🤪 I think its demise is overstated.

First thing I do when I check in to a hotel room for the week is set up my charging station and WiFi router.

The router gives me my own WiFi hotspot that VPNs in to my home Tailscale network so I have access to everything from all my devices.

The charging station is powerful enough to quick charge my phone and laptop and a few other devices.

Wow this is depressing. Happy anniversary from Meetup 18 years ago, you made the decision to join Meetup and pursue your passions.

ActivityPub in Ghost has been in beta for a while, with plans to officially ship to everyone in the summer. I started my own test ghost.io blog to troubleshoot compatibility problems. Until now, Micro.blog and Ghost hadn’t played well together on the fediverse. Here are some...

BTW, I asked ChatGPT if I moved to NYC in 2009 or 2010. It answered in an instant. "You moved to NYC in 2010." I asked how it knew. It used my blog as the source. We have arrived in the future. This is exactly the kind of query I've been begging Google to support for decades. They could have figured out where my blog is, or let me tell it where it is. Famously they once asked if I had misspelled my mother's last name in a query. How fucking clueless can you get.

Molly White is documenting the very problematic Looksmaxxing GPT. Now she reports that OpenAI is not going to do anything about it.

I was already thinking that the GPTs experiment is mostly clutter in the ChatGPT sidebar. If OpenAI is not willing to curate it, I wish they’d scrap the whole feature.

Thanks to everyone who has participated in the Micro.blog photoblogging challenge so far! It is so fun to see the photos. I’ll be catching up today to make sure the photos grid is current, but there’s a lot there already.
