@patrickrhone Did you actually read it or just bought it for the name?

@rosemaryorchard Thanks! I never would have thought to click on that indicator myself.

@rosemaryorchard How did you access that option?

@dominikhoecht It’s a pity as IFTTT used to be very easy to use.

@diggingthedigital.com is de problemen met zijn site aan het oplossen:

Sinds een laatste update van de Jetpack plugin, een standaard plugin bij WordPress installaties, zijn er conflicten met andere plugins. Dat is erg frustrerend voor plugin-bouwers.

Dit is dé reden waarom ik niet aan mijn site wil prutsen.

Vijftien jaar geleden had ik mijn eigen server, waar ik zelf een mySQL database op configureerde en vervolgens via FTP Movable Type erop zette om tenslotte al mijn templates te schrijven en configureren. Dat vond ik leuk toen.

Maar nu leven we in 2020. Ik wil niet weten hoe mijn auto werkt, ik hoef niet aan mijn mobiele telefoon te sleutelen en als mijn computer het niet doet laat ik hem gewoon repareren.

Voor mijn persoonlijke site wil ik gewoon een maandelijks bedrag betalen aan een organisatie die ervoor zorgt dat alles draait en up-to-date is.

Uiteraard, als je de allerlaatste IndieWeb mogelijkheden wilt, zul je zelf moeten prutsen of even moeten wachten. Maar dat is geen probleem voor mij.

@matthewlang Three posts in two days… I’d say you’re on the right way.

@jeroensangers Also, I would love to find micro.blog users blogging in Nederlands, Español or Català.

@kaa Nice watch! I like the minimalist design.

@ted I guess the first startup that finds out how to give accurate recommendations based on who is present and/or using the service at the moment is going to earn a lot of 💵, since that is what all parents long for.

@ted IA recommendations ( Music, Spotify, Netflix, Amazon,…) are not suited at all for family use.

@vincent Isn't that a liiitle bit OCD??? You will be just fine with 8 emails in your inbox…

@kaa Good luck! 🍀⌚️

@kaa Like I said, it isn’t for everyone. By the way, you can clearly distinguish the quarter hours and, if you look more closely, get to 5 minutes precision.

@dave The issue is that this actually works! Most MailChimp customers leave the tracking option activated when sending out a mailing, and most email clients happily open all (hidden) images in any message to give MailChimp that information.

The only exception to this rule are people with an Hey email address and a minority of concerned people who have deactivated the image display in their email client.

@kaa I feel you… There are many options available and most of them are more or lest the same… a typical case of Analysis paralysis.

Let me make your choice a little more complicated by presenting you my favourite watch: the Slow Watch. It is like many other watches, but completely different in other ways. Most people either love it (like I do) or don't understand it.

@dominikhoecht I just migrated my personal blog over to Micro.blog from Wordpress (I dislike the new block editor and have no use for 90% of its features). Besides my personal blog, I have a podcast and a professional blog hosted on Squarespace. As for social networks, I crosspost from my blogs and podcast to Twitter and LinkedIn. Once every few days I connect to those networks to reply any mentions and messages.

@jlelse Too little, too late…

@patrickrhone What we believe in.

@Help What is the correct way to create a reply to an externally hosted post from within micro.blog? If I understood it correctly, when I simply mention the URL in a regular post it will send a webmention, but won’t show up in my replies, right?

@LJPUK Isn't Google a platform as well? Aren’t you simply shifting some part of your tools from the  platform to Google?

@dominikhoecht Love it! 😍

@patrickrhone Beautiful and useful

@canion I see the lack of extensions as a feature. As a patient of the Shiny New Plugin Syndrome, I tend to install waaaayyy to much plugins, slowing down my browsing experience. Since switching to Safari, I found that most plugins hardly add any benefit. Instead of the Inoreader plugin, I use the bookmarklet for subscribing to new feeds (which I don’t want to do too often to avoid clogging up my queue) and for reading I simple go to my feed reader.

@jeroensangers Since then I switched to the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, with Slartibartfast as my main creation device.

@martinfeld I used to use names from the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but after the movies came out I found that I this scheme was not unique enough anymore (one night in my hotel room I discovered a total of four devices called Frodo on the network).
