I don’t know if we need a fediverse version of TikTok, I really wish these short video posting platforms would go away.
Another big tech change for me. I switched back to “Hey!” for email, calendar, journal, and my blog. I’m keeping MicroBlog for social posts and my digital garden of sorts. Here’s my explanation: Back at Hey!
Why MicroBlog?
I’ve played with a lot of platforms and started multiple blogs, but I keep coming back to MicroBlog. Why you may ask? I’ve been pondering that and came up with a few clear reasons.
MicroBlog has so many features, I’ll name the ones important to me. * Cross Posting to Mastodon, Threads, BlueSky, and Nostr. * It’s also its own activity pub instance an could replace Mastodon if you wish. * Helps me create a photo gallery * Manage and share my reading. * Bookmarks * It has a built-in encrypted notebook * Produces a newsletter for me. * And if I had the gumption, I could host a podcast on it. * Plus the basics.. pages, categories, static pages..etc
Not to mention the fact it’s my blog itself. But there are a few things it could use. It has a small theme selection, though, if you’re handy with code, you can customize to your liking. I myself am a little lazy and lack the time, so I make do with what’s there by default. I guess that is just one thing.
In the end, I really do love MicroBlog, and until I can design something as good on my own, I don’t see myself leaving. I may stop all together, but when I come back it’s usually here.
Cheers!
My right 2nd Gen Airpod barely works these days. I feel a replacement may be due, so do I do the AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancelation or go all out with the AirPods Pro 2?
Thoughts?
#Apple
I’m having a real tech meltdown this week, switching services like wildfire… just saw @manton ’s iPhone image, and it reminded me of Hey! … now I’m sitting here wondering if I should start it back up… dangit! Squirrel!
Every time I think about going all in on Macs; I visit the Apple website and try to build a MacBook Pro to my liking, and then throw up in my mouth a little when I see the price. I think I will use this Surface until it explodes.
Today I decided I needed to reset my Apple music data and it’s darn near impossible to do. I can remove chunks and pieces, but there is no reset button to be found.
