@Miraz there are a lot of juices a d smoothies that include kale, cucumbers, spinach… and also peach, strawberries and banana. I find thr combination nauseating. But this me… apparently that’s what’s popular.

@eludom make sure you check dwim-shell-command (also on Melpa). It comes with many useful built-in commands, and you can always add your own.

@chrisod in my case, there are two reasons holding me back: first, my Linux desktop is used for Games, and Pop OS releases stable, timely Nvidia drivers. I know you can find them on Debian/Ubuntu/Mint as well, but it’s really smooth on Pop OS. Second, I want to wipe everything, not just restore from backup. This means a lot of head scratching and figuring out what tools I forgot, reinstalling Emacs with its packages… I don’t know. But there’s nothing quite like a clean experience.

@grueproof that’s a good goal

@Miraz sounds interesting. I will mark it down

@eludom it has been public, though, not very active a of very recently. You saw some of my classical music articles on it. Right now I’m creating a new one essentially, for micro.blog specifically. This one will be public too, as soon as I get some more “beef” on it. It’s a big project, and I’m trying to pace myself.

@manton question about movies: is it possible to default the search for letterboxd? I know I can change it in the link itself.

@manton It’s good to see what most people want, and if it validates my wants, it means I’m in a place that fits.
I encourage you to do more of those when appropriate! These are fun. Maybe it’s something the community leaders can do? I can see how it fits there as well, kind of like an extended feature under Discovery or similar.
Looking forward for the news about videos. I’d love an alternative to YouTube.

@manton Thanks for writing this. I know you usually don’t share to this level, and I’m glad you did. I’m very sad to read this, and at the same time, I’m happy you’re here and sharing with us.
I hope I don’t sound like a cliché when I say I feel like a better person today because of you and what you do. I write more and explain more and share more. I’m more compassionate with people online. I have stronger beliefs than I did before about the web. And I’m proud to be part of what you built here, as little as I contribute.
Thank you for all you do. You really make a difference, Manton. Thank you.

@eludom that’s another point and I agree with you. It opens up your mind to whys and what ifs like not many other tools

@birming ha! Interesting 🤔

@grueproof but.. but… but…
nah, I’m just messin’. I like this statement and how you said it. -

@birming The word “speed” is fart, or, they translated to “fart” in Norwegian, and if so, why…? lol

@BrandonsJournal I knew it’s you. Yesterday I was preparing to watch Primitive Wars - because of what you said about it - and I saw I had Speed waiting for me for a while, so decided to go for this one instead :p
I’m not always in the mood to watch these.. er… simpler movies, but sometimes they’re just perfect.

@manton thanks for posting this. I haven’t heard of 37 Signals (even though I’ve heard of their products, just didn’t know the company behind those) or their CEO or the philosophy described in the article you linked. But, after reading what Westendberg wrote, I had to do a bit of research and went down those rabbit holes that made this morning interesting… I’m even tempted to check out Hey more closely, even though my workplace would not integrate with it, so I probably won’t do much about it.

@ericmwalk sounds like a duplicate hunt challenge! :)

@ericmwalk I’ve following you and for a while and I don’t think I’ve yet seen two pictures from the same running route… just how much running space do you have around you?

@RKWB these remind me medic clothes cutters (not sure if there as an official word for those). Are these for clothes…?

@birming wow that’s some bathroom

@manton it works really nice. Any way to add lists, like “to watch” or “things Ed keeps bugging me about to watch”?

@autumn I heard good things about it as well :)

@ericmwalk too little sleep here as well. I hope for a nap later.

@help are we affected by the AWS outage?
Also - status.micro.blog - what does the avatars service do, just curious :)
