Dear Whole Foods aka Amazon. You know my entire grocery shopping history, you know how much tofu I buy, so why on earth would you think it's appropriate to send me ads for ground beef? #vegetarian #ads

Really undercuts the “promises” of aggressive data collection and ad surveillance. Dumb ads would be just as good.

Tonight I am running a livestream for @kmikeym's charity poker game, and it is quite the mess of routing video signals in order to delay the broadcast of the game 15 minutes but also have the commentators live with the chat! https://live.kmikeym.com

Hell of a setup there. Super cool
sonicrocketman
I will neither confirm nor deny that I did exactly that.

Circle circle, dot dot, I just got my (first) Covid shot.
It felt surreal when I was next in line, realizing I had been waiting a whole year for this and it was actually finally happening.

That’s so awesome! So many people I know are getting vaccinated! We’re finally climbing out of this hole!

I think I found the issue. Pushed a fix. The timeline on the homepage had the wrong u-url.

Hmm. Do you know which feed? The h-feed?

Just FYI, that new UI and iOS App launched last night! Check it out!

This is not going to be over in two weeks, two years or even four years…

It took 20+ years to dig this hole. It will take just as long (or longer) to dig our way out.
oh no, looks like you're using the same imageproxy as my reader, and it has a bug where it can't accept its own URLs 😆
sonicrocketman
Looking better?

Rolling out the fix now. I can just remove the cache for outward-facing images. I forgot that they're already behind Cloudflare anyway. Thanks for the notice.

Oh no! That's actually hilarious. We should pair on the fix. I don't know Go, but I'm sure we can figure it out.
Sadly I think most people don't, which is how Spotify is getting away with centralizing the podcast industry.
sonicrocketman
Yeah. This stuff concerns me greatly. Podcasting is one of the last true open web mediums with broad traction, and it too is being swallowed up.
ah if you're talking about syndication format rather than content format, I understand the question now :-)
sonicrocketman
Correct. I should have clarified. When I say podcast, I mean over RSS.
sonicrocketman
True true. I meant outside of YouTube over RSS, like podcasts are today.
Huh, now I don't remember if that was intentional or not. Is that how micro.blog does it?
sonicrocketman
I don't think so. I see Manton's full-length posts from Micro.blog.

Great stuff!

I made a stew in the Instant Pot tonight that is so good, I’m in danger of eating it all tonight.
sonicrocketman
I have the same problem when I cook big pots of anything. Is it four meals, or just one big one?

This, and also I make things I wish had existed when I was learning the space https://twitter.com/shanselman/status/1355726911679332355

They look great! Super impressed.
sonicrocketman
Congratulations on the release! I'm excited to check it out!

I honestly can’t tell if our sky is cloudy or smoky. It’s probably both at this point. Air quality is crap. We get occasional blue but not much.
Fine, just not happy about spending 48+ hours in this air, kinda worried about the possible side effects of this a few weeks from now
sonicrocketman
I don’t doubt it. We haven’t had it nearly as bad, but the fires have done a number here too. Closes reading to me says 158.
I have the same worries. I’ve never really had bad allergies but they’ve been crazy lately.

Wow. That’s crazy... is the sky still red?

On this day last year I woke up at 3:45am to get on a plane to New York to go give a presentation the next day, then fly to Dallas, then Houston, returning home on Thursday. I haven't been on a plane since then.
sonicrocketman
Yikes. Seems like you've found a project at least. How you holding up otherwise?
ohhhh this is awesome! So glad you shipped this!! 🚀
sonicrocketman
Thanks for the help. Now I need to take a bunch of new pictures.
Once I upload photos, there's a text box next to each photo. I can type in emoji that I want to use for that photo. If I type an emoji that's associated with another image it removes it from the other image. It's surprisingly quick to set up this way!
sonicrocketman
btw, not sure if you saw, but I launched this today: Pine.blog: Profiles, Pinboard, and More!
