Seth Godin on burning bridges:
While it’s tempting to imagine that we’re always racing forward, it’s far more likely we’ll benefit from traveling over this bridge again one day soon.
Put another way, some people can be so caught in what’s happening now that they aren’t thinking about the future.

I don’t climb. I have no interest in climbing. And yet I so often find myself in places that are famous in the climbers world. Another person would see this as a signal life is sending their way.

Wow, Pacers. I tuned in just at the right time toward the end. Glad to have some cell coverage tonight! 🏀
Flaky internet today, so just catching up on the new levels of chaos with Trump and Elon Musk. Trump will eventually turn against anyone who supported him, lashing out selfishly, no matter the cost to people or country. This devolved shockingly quickly. 🇺🇸
Vise Coffee in Alpine. I had just finished a cold brew I brought with me, so got a sticker and postcard instead of actual coffee.
I continue to doubt that Apple can roll back external payment links now that the genie is out of the bottle. The appeals court was not persuaded that they should block the order. So we’ll have months of users using external links and the world not ending.
Congrats to A New Social on announcing Bounce, a way to move followers between Bluesky and the fediverse. I like how they’re previewing what followers (and follows) will move. Migrating accounts currently feels very blind, as you cross your fingers and hope everything works across fediverse servers.
Next Homebrew Website Club Düsseldorf is happening!
Just a tiny bit of reflection, outside Alpine.

Bounce is a game-changer for the open social web:
"Bounce is built on the work of Bridgy Fed, which makes your Bluesky posts visible on Mastodon and vice versa. Using Bounce will bridge your accounts, in case you haven’t already set up Bridgy Fed. Then, Bounce can move your account from Bluesky to Mastodon by shifting personal data servers and utilizing the native “move” functionality that ActivityPub and AT Protocol have in common. A New Social CEO and executive director Anuj Ahooja tells The Verge, “Folks on Bluesky will likely never even know you’ve Bounced to Mastodon.”"
This prevents any one service on the open social web from locking you in. Which, after all, is the promise and the power of the platform.

This court order is a wild overreach, undermining the privacy of OpenAI users and developers. This would do far more damage than whatever harm The New York Times is alleging about copyright.
Now a personal comment. What pisses me off most about Bluesky is the environment all this is happening in. We need an open social web. They've got a lot of people convinced they are it. They are not and they know it. And they keep leading people on. They should either deliver, now, or get out of the way.
It’s literally three minutes into CSS Day and I’ve already learned about some CSS I didn’t know about.
