I recently acquired a solar powered robot pool skimmer called a βBetta 2.β Impressed so far! Crystal clear water, no fuss.
We have named him βPrincipal Skimmer.β

Human rights are universal. βLeave it to the statesβ is a ludicrous position.

@cleverdevil That was their previous justification. Theyβre now going for a national ban.

@pratik indeed, thatβs their long game. I still see a lot of people using states rights as an excuse, and itβs a slippery slope that concerns me greatly.

@cleverdevil it was always a dodge

Local control is great for solving day-to-day problems and delivering services close to the people that needed them. Creating a small divisions of people so that local government can restrict them and criminalize their choices is not it.

@cleverdevil The courts are not (nor is anyone else I'm aware of) saying "leave human rights to the states." They're trying to figure out what are the unenumerated rights protected by the constitution. But there are reports of people voting with their feet β in both directions.

The last few weeks have really driven home for me just how problematic βstates rightsβ people can be. Anything goes and if you donβt like it just pick a different state!
@cleverdevil people have .. which is why the population of the blue states is a lot higher than the reds.

It would be super cool if the Micro.blog client was embedded directly into NetNewsWire as an option, with the ability to post and reply.
@cleverdevil love this idea
, May 11 2022 on micro.blog
@toddgrotenhuis me too! Iβm curious what @manton and @brentsimmons think. Would be a nice option, IMO.

@cleverdevil very clever ... you devil you!
, May 11 2022 on micro.blog
@cleverdevil That would be great! Not sure it fits with the current vision for NNW but I think it could be really interesting. Also in some ways similar to early versions of NNW that could post to blogs.
, May 11 2022 on micro.blog
@manton Oh, that takes me back. I'd completely forgotten that MarsEdit has its roots in the NNW in-app posting client. Wow, that feels like another life now. Back when I was posting to Movable Typeβ¦
, May 11 2022 on micro.blog
@adders Yeah, it was forever ago now. Don't forget it also used to have a built-in outliner!
, May 11 2022 on micro.blog
@manton this came up because I am changing up how I consume both feeds and Micro.blog. I have noticed that reading Micro.blog feeds in NNW and Reeder isnβt ideal, in part because of how the feeds are formatted.
This could be fixed on the reader side, but it might be a cool feature to have a specialized timeline feed that is tailored specifically to consumption in a feed reader.
, May 13 2022 on micro.blog
@cleverdevil Gotcha. By the way, are you subscribing to individual blog feeds, or the timeline feeds like /feeds/username.xml that include posts from many users? It would be interesting to experiment with specialized versions of those with reply links, etc.
, May 13 2022 on micro.blog
@manton I am subscribing to my timeline β micro.blog/feeds/cle...
Yes, a specialized feed would be really interesting, IMO. Some ideas:
Customizable links for reply/bookmark/like, etc. I would likely use the Shortcuts URL scheme to make this really a great experience.
Tweaks to titles/content/author to make the feed easier to consume in readers. For reference, this is what my timeline looks like in Reeder:
cleverdevil.io/s/Oa7G45F...
Even better would be integration with NNW, of course. I am still searching for a native macOS experience to replace my use of Together.
, May 13 2022 on micro.blog
@cleverdevil I entirely read M.b in Reeder having subscribed to my timeline in Feedbin. I don't really run into any trouble except the use of the canonical link versus M.b. link results in having to do a dance if I do want to reply. So I do love the idea of having the timeline feed including the cannonical link, the link to the post on M.b, (and possibly bookmark... that's not a feature I use personally).

I see the trailer for Westworld season four leaked. Iβm having a hard time caring. The first season was a blast, and it really hasnβt been the same since. I think Iβll await reviews.

Yβall, I missed NoHo Hank so much more than I thought. #Barry
@cleverdevil The end of the last season, while excellent, left me feeling so nihilist that I thought I might not come back to Barry right now but you make an excellent point.
, Apr 26 2022 on micro.blog
@kimberlyhirsh I agree, it took a very "Breaking Bad" turn in the latter part of the last season, but I think the pivot is important. The thing that makes Barry so compelling for me is the incredible balance of humor with the darkness of Barry's life.
, Apr 26 2022 on micro.blog
@cleverdevil Yes. The turn made total sense. It just also made me sad.

While we'll never be able to recreate and recapture precisely what Twitter is (was?), I do think that the best option for most people looking for community, a great place to post and read content, ease of use, and appropriate moderation, check out Micro.blog.
Hello, micro.blog friends! I needed to update microgram and micromemories for technical reasons (moving from Python 3.6 to Python 3.9 runtimes on AWS Lambda because of deprecation). Let me know if you have issues!
@cleverdevil does this mean On This Day will break?
, Apr 22 2022 on micro.blog
@pratik people will need to check their sites. I made the changes after some level of testing, but there are a lot of sites using the plugin and I can't check them all π
If you (or anyone else!) sees an issue, definitely let me know, and I'll do my best to resolve them quickly.

@cleverdevil It's working fine on the two sites I use it on ππ½Thanks for letting us use it.

Had a scary power surge in the house last night that blew several surge protectors. One of the SPs blew so violently that it flew across the room and was smoking. Change your surge protectors every two years! Get a nice UPS or three!
Took the plunge and got a season ticket package for the Hollywood Bowl for 2022. So excited to go back! Itβs been far too long.
