FeedCity

One more thing about the linkblog, it no longer cross-posts to social media sites. I want to see if I miss having the links there. It also won't have the limits. Maybe it'll be better if my accounts are a bit more quiet. Also the RSS feed is in a new location, I want to wait a bit to make sure it works before distributing the URL.

Note to linkblog readers: I just flipped a switch and am now using WordLand to do the linkblog. Today's links are good, but the ones from prior days were mainly test posts. They will scroll off in a few days, and it'll be as it always has been. Still diggin.

Most people outside of Micro.blog don’t pay attention to our news blog, so quoting this here too:

Fixed an issue where mentions to Mastodon users weren’t actually sent to remote servers if Micro.blog hadn’t yet cached the ActivityPub info for that user.

If you’re on Bluesky, we also automatically mirror our bug fixes and features to the micro.blog profile over there.

People talk about "regime change" as if the only regime that could change is the one in Iran.

Trump may not want regime change in Iran, but he definitely wants regime change in California.

He's going to war with Iran to hide his war with the United States.

We need a war-ready Democratic Party.

Governor or mayor is not a job for peaceniks.

Dave Winer will be keynoting WordCamp Canada in Ottawa:

I’m also not happy with the tech industry of the US. I’d like a fresh start, a return to our roots, with the assumption that the people control their destiny and the role of developers is to give them to the tools to try out new ideas.

There is still so much potential where the fediverse and blogging overlap.

Today's song: Peace in our time.

"When the government can track where you go, whom you associate with, and what you spend your money on, it [...] chills freedom of expression, undermines your freedom to travel, and destroys the fundamental privacy right that underlies American liberty."

More on the vision for WordLand and RSS. Imagine that WordLand is the editor of a twitter-like system built around RSS. It saves your writing to WordPress, where it is published on a website and via RSS. You don't have to use WordLand or WordPress, because RSS is an open fo...

I'm keynoting the WordCamp Canada conference in October in Ottawa. It's the first conference I've attended since before the pandemic. The timing is ideal, and the location is significant. As an American, I don't want to try to attract people from around the world to a meeti...

I really enjoyed rocking out with Salter Cane on Friday night—thanks to everyone who came along!

Some of the problems Trump has created are fixable. They are painful for many people, and clearly so morally wrong, illegal, or just plain dumb that they will have to be reversed, with time. And then there are the disastrous, long-term mistakes like bombing Iran that we’ll be stuck with for decades.

Got everything set up for the photo booth for the MySpace ride tomorrow! Ready to roll out the door!

Hopefully the weight distribution is ok. There's a giant battery powering the monitor and printer, it's held in place slightly in front of the axle.

It's waffle night! Time to stock up on breakfast waffles!

The grocery store only had 2 silken tofu but I need 6 so I had to improvise... used a lot more oat milk and yogurt to make up the difference.
