@supremus ah absolutely, it is a business, no doubt. I’d have a few hundred words to write about all this. All I’m saying is that they shouldn’t be seen as taking up the flag of the open web with the launch of this new app. They only switched from Twitter when they were literally booted.

@supremus so my problem with Ivory is that Tapbots have been receiving requests to do an app for an open platform for years, at least 5. But they’ve only done it now that Twitter’s killed their business. So it has nothing to do with supporting Mastodon, or the open web. It’s just bout making cash.

@pratik bothsides-ism always helps the no-taxes-to-the-rich right parties. In Europe as well.

@MitchW I think I might print that quote for non commercial use (i.e. hanging on my wall lol)

@jeremycherfas if the cost is not just financial, keeping things we don't need can cost, still! I think you did great 😀

@jayeless hehehe, the same's true for my feline friend Bolle. He would swallow his entire pantry if it weren't under lock. 😝

@danielpunkass I wish, however I see way too much of the phony academic "management" culture still misguidedly fascinated with his figure. We describe it like this: "prosciutto sugli occhi", prosciutto over the eyes.

@Michele hehe, the only art I can make with latte and caffè is maybe and again maybe some good taste.

@JonLillie I don't necessarily talk about programming on my blog but I am a data scientist student working with python and some latest technologies 😄 welcome

@pratik well I buy the Techo + cover directly from the manufacturer and then just the Techo the following years until I want to get a new cover. So far I have 1 cover only, a nice blue outside with light green inside

@Mtt I have an address over there but I realized after setting it up I never actually shared it anywhere or with anyone. So it seems like it's not for me 🤷‍♀️

@annahavron I came to read you after your micro monday podacst! I think that tech has been dead set on reducing friction in everything but possibly one of the reason analogue feels so different and possibly better is indeed the more friction required.

@jean yeeeees? Yes yes yes. I study computational statistics but at my lectures I take notes on a paper notepad with a fountain pen, I prefer to read paper books when it's an option, I still go to libraries to borrow and read, I ask real people for directions when lost, I play badly a completely analogue acoustic guitar, I prefer pen and paper roleplay games on a table over videogames 😀

@jayeless great post! Nice to read you! A possible idea for a balanced timeline could be: a list of users who posted recently, ordered reverse chronological based on who posted the most recently, but only one post for each user and an expanding box under each that when clicked opens other recent posts.

@danielpunkass sometimes I think I could never be among the richest people in the world, because I could never have so much hubris
