#ClimateDiary It just does my head in that the billionaires who are destroying our world are all building bunkers for themselves and yet the rest of the world continues to admire them, bedazzled, distracted by the billionaires social media platforms

Notion are absolutely 100% toxic at this point: acquiring and shutting down rivals without much notice to their users that their data is going to be wiped:

(Edited because they don't own Evernote, that's Bending Spoons, who are equally but differently toxic.)

Coworkers and I were cracking up over how we hate certain email closings like "Best" and "Warmly," so we tested out some alternatives:
"Moistly"
"Indifferently"
"Relentlessly"
"With gravest concern"
I know there are some brilliant ones out there. Tell me your best ones.

I get the impression that many people on the Fediverse like cuteness.
I present to you a baby Sandhill Crane walking along with mom and pops. Let the cuteness begin.

NeadReport, 24 days ago to Notesnook

So... I left Evernote months ago when they hiked their pro plan subscription (like 163% !) It was bloated, and their free plan was crippled; that + the company had been struggling for years to find a CEO who could bring some kind of vision back to the app. It all flopped and they were sold to Bending Spoons.

Over the ensuing months, I was fortunate to find a replacement! An Open Source, fully encrypted, Evernote killer. And what a note taking app it has become.

A major release (v3.0) was launched officially today. 8 months of non-stop development and testing by a two-man Dev team has really brought this app center stage. These guys are hands-on with listening to user feedback on their NN Discord server; when they find time to sleep beats me (the plight of the developer).
Read about this latest journey AND all of the great new features of v3.0 that are note-taking game changers, on their blog post:

https://blog.notesnook.com/introducing-notesnook-v3/

You're going to hear more about Notesnook in the weeks and months to come and it won't be coming from me. It will be from a growing userbase that can't help but share the awesomeness that Notesnook brings to notetaking.

Hey #Mastodon. While scrolling down the page in the #Explore category, how about freezing the row/header that shows #Posts #Hashtags #People and #News so it is always visible?
Nobody wants to scroll all the way to the top to pick a different category.

My wife at one point, was a stay-at-home mom. This is when I realized how talented she is.
Here are two #Halloween costumes she made back in the day. #HalloweenCostume

Another Halloween costume as The Cat In The Hat. A super tall red and white striped hat. A big red bow (tie) rounds out the attire. He is holding a bag that says "I love to read!" with a picture of the same Dr. Seuss character.

You can play along too. I'll start.

Any Omnivore read-it-later app users out there?
Seems Mozilla has de-listed the #Omnivore Firefox extension and is dragging their heels to get it reinstated.

Yes, the same #Mozilla that owns #Pocket, the read-it-later app.

I smell a rat. Mozilla needs to come clean on this. They are pro #opensource right?

This has got to be one of the finest interactive transit maps I have ever seen.
Japan got it right with this rail transit map. Live cams (with sound), follow specific trains, zoom in and out, click and drag. All in real time Fascinating!

"The prosecution is effectively using Trump himself as a witness here. In his own words — as laid out in his books — Trump is describing how he keeps a focus on minute details and watches every penny that leaves his accounts, a core part of the prosecution’s case against him. He’s also describing how he sees sexual potential in random women that he encounters." -Jonathan Swan, NYT
