I don’t really understand what it means that #bluesky is somehow now connected to the #Fediverse? If I have an account there on bluesky, will I now have two accounts in the Fediverse?
@serenebabe At least for now, it’s opt in. From bluesky, you follow the account “@ap.brid.gy” and then an account is created on the bridgyfed instance that mirrors the posts from that account. For example, my mirrored account from Bluesky is @jbaer.bsky.social
@serenebabe Essentially, yeah. Though I mostly did that to try the tech. I think it’s more useful for people who only want to post in one place, but want to be able to interact with people in other places.
I think is spot on. The culture has changed (and Apple doesn’t see it). But also Apple’s place in the culture has changed and it is just another tech giant. I would argue, though, that’s down to Apple itself, and its behaviour. https://daringfireball.net/linked/2024/05/09/dhh-crush
@jannem@ianbetteridge The weirdest thing for me was the doll with its eyes bulging out. That was straight up horror. There’s a cultural precedent for guitar smashing and paint exploding. That could almost be passed off as some kind of rock-and-roll ethos. But it feels like they went out of their way to be explicitly mean spirited.
My parents tell a story about how as a kid, I'd be off somewhere in my head, and then out of the blue pronounce "I changed my mind." More time would pass, and then I'd declare, similarly without explanation, "I changed my mind again."
Trying to build a system to scaffold your brain is such a tricky business, because you have to balance the tools available, how you want things to work, and openness to ways that might work better.
Things for Mac and iPhone has been working nicely for me at the second part of that, but fails for me at the planning part, where I'd really like an outliner.
@exchgr lol jinx - yeah I've been using it but I don't like how it does subtasks. Need something much more freeform for planning projects, like an outliner.
@exchgr Unfortunately it's spoiled me with how well it does what it does well! I'm afraid every makeshift solution I come up with is gonna feel horribly janky by comparison.
@kcase Interesting! Time to give it another whirl. I think I last tried it in v1, and tbh felt a little overwhelmed, both on functionality and price… but I am staff at an educational institution so at least the latter problem might be manageable. And OmniOutliner was my first love in the outliner space…
