“I rarely just tweet something, unless it’s truly ephemeral (or a reply, obviously). I prefer to blog first and let Twitter get a copy. This is part of owning my own content.” — Brent Simmons on his blogging setup
Anyone have a print-on-demand service they recommend? I have a couple-hundred-pages PhD dissertation that's relevant to my work I'd like to print out and have on hand.
This is going to seem like a joke but it's not: in ~1978, there was a minor crisis around connecting the various networks (ARPA, CYCLADES, etc) into an "inter-network environment", aka the internet. Some of the discussions seems similar to our discussion of interoperability between content types in ActivityPub networks. I think it would behoove fediverse nerds to read up on this stuff.

Yeah, 90% of the time this wouldn't apply to me, but I can see the utility. The same way the email clients have the "Unified Inbox" across different email clients. Most the time I want to be able to just look at one category. But sometimes I load my reader and I have like 1-2 posts in 5 different channels. For those instances it would be kind of nice to open up a reader that I knew support this "Unified Unread" and just scroll and read them. I get tired of tapping between the channels when I run into those couple of posts in each channel situations.
