We need an #RSS reader with "Reply" and "Repost" buttons. These actions would occur on a blog you connect with #Micropub or #XMLRPC, and use #WebMentions to notify the originating site.

Media Log: The Hunt for Red October (1990)

Watched: May 9, 2024

If you were to score this on some kind of Bechdel scale, it might come back NaN.

When is the last time the word "iPod" was uttered at an #AppleEvent? "One more thing"???

One thing that's great about the radio is that you can have multi-room audio with zero latency.

Something I get from Mastodon’s particular brand of anti-establishment sentiment is this kind of anachronistic vibe? It all kinda feels like this very earnest, 80s/90s, Adbusters, Berkeley, Whole Earth Catalog, almost boomer-leftie feel to it.

Anybody know what I’m talking about?

One of the absolute worst degradations in modern/mobile UIs is the way tap targets are constantly moving as content is dynamically loaded.

Many times I have tapped the wrong thing because something has moved.

I have even sometimes hovered my thumb millimeters away from the screen, waiting to be sure nothing will change, and the moment before I make contact, the content of the screen changes and I tap the wrong thing.

I remember liking the first half of this one. The jump scares in the last half got to be too gratuitous to me.

Anybody have any ideas on how to import Mastodon posts into #WordPress?

(To be clear I'm not talking about enabling ActivityPub on WordPress.)

I want a “couch to 5k” but for hot sauce.

If you search Mastodon for “threads.net” you’ll see a bunch of people wondering why they can’t see President Biden’s account, unaware that they are on an instance that did a full suspend on the threads.net domain.

If they made Back to the Future today (heaven forbid), what car model would the time machine be?

Does anybody know of any websites or apps that still use #GoogleCardboard/ #WebXR?

It was such a fun, inexpensive little trend and I wish it had stuck around.

Imagine if there were great Swift-based IRC and Usenet clients for macOS.

I didn’t buy that Meta was hiding Pixelfed references the last time they were accused of doing it, either.

It would just be so petty for something that has a sliver of the userbase Instagram does.

Meta does not see Pixelfed as a threat.

It is bonkers that at a moment when Taylor Swift's success and cultural penetration is unthinkably astronomical she's releasing another album. I worry it might create a black hole.

Let’s say you’re trying to decide between two Mastodon instances, run by Sandra and Billy.

You agree with some of Sandra’s moderation decisions and priorities, but not all of them. Same with Billy.

Which do you join?

In the #Bluesky/ #ATProto model, you can opt-in to both of their moderation systems, and set custom warning/hide levels for different categories of offenses.

Then if one of them starts getting weird or shady, you just unsubscribe, no need to migrate your account anywhere.

Please forgive my being pedantic but this comic absolutely infuriates me because most of these vowels are not schwas at all

No matter what you think of the “influencer” “profession,” if a TikTok ban means that some people will lose their livelihoods, that really says something about our reliance on centralized platforms.

God bless Cord Jefferson who used his speech to beg Hollywood to make mid-budget movies again.

“Instead of making one 200 million dollar movie you could make twenty 10 million dollar movies. The next Martin Scorsese is out there.”

I wish it were socially acceptable to wear berets.

Not for me, I wouldn’t wear one, I just want to see more people in them.

I don’t know much about football, and maybe this guy is a dick or something, but good on Jason Kelce for bawling uncontrollably while announcing his retirement.

Crying is good and we need more examples of big strong men crying in public.

Sarah Jessica Parker, Jason Alexander, and Drew Barrymore are all doing commercials for weird scummy mobile games. How are they getting these big names?

> Blogs now either look like Substack/Medium or Snow Fall and I didn’t want to pattern kottke.org after either of those things. I don’t want to write articles — I want to blog.

This is exactly how I feel whenever I redesign my blog, and why I built the #WordPress theme "skltn."
