I’m experimenting with this UX: Saw the post that BlueSky is now supporting longer form articles using Standard.site. Which I thinks is only good. But might it become “double plus good” if this same UX could make it so that posts that were say 500 characters, or more authored on one platform, could “POSSE” over to Bluesky in this new Standard.site mode and not just look like a link card, but as as a decent microblog post with the rest of the thread continuing in the full article.

Not sure it will work well from a user expectation level, but worth a try.

Here is an article about the new support for longer form articles on Bluesky: https://atproto.com/blog/standard-site-bluesky-timeline

After doing a couple of private workshops on how to use #Mastodon, I've decided I could just record a series of tutorials and have everyone benefit from it. Mastodon has a lot of features, and sometimes even long time users aren't aware of all of them! The first episode is about making posts on Mastodon--going over every aspect.

Watched: Marty, Life Is Short. Surprisingly I didn’t really know that much about Martin Short’s early career. Nice the way they mixed in footage from home movies too. 📺

The purpose of standards is interop. That's it. No other purpose.

Just watched the first episode of Star City, really good. Somewhat like The Americans, but takes place in the USSR. A spinoff of For All Mankind, which started out interesting and then became unwatchable, though I did enjoy the sets on Mars. I also liked the character who was inspired by Elon Musk, obviously.

A Scottish journalist named Charles Mackay published a book about the way crowds lose their minds. Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds (1841) catalogued tulip speculation, alchemy, the South Sea Bubble, witch hunts, and the slow-burn lunacy of people who grow so attached to an idea that they

I encountered a proposition that original form and style are the aspects of writing that an LLM cannot mimic, thus human writers may start innovating on form as a way to compete in an oversaturated writing market (and demonstrate their humanity).

Congrats to my friend Manton Reece, a San Antonio fan, for their victory in the Western Conference last night. The Knicks will be playing them starting on Wednesday for the NBA championship. Knicks representing the east, Spurs for the west.

How bad was it with the Knicks. As something of a joke, but not really, Knicks fans would disguise themselves with paper bags with eye cutouts. Fans got accustomed to the feelings of betrayal and hopelessness. When was the actual lowest point? A good candidate was when they ...

There have been problems reported with subscribe.scripting.com. At least some of them are fixed. It's hard to test this kind of software because you can't really tell what went wrong. If people report problems they just say it didn't work. But real problems were fixed, so if you've had trouble subscribing or unsubscribing, now is a good time to try again. And thanks for your patience, and sorry for the screwy app. ;-)
